Shockwave- Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I didn't see this in the patch notes but it was so long i could have missed it. I took a look at my syndicate missions today and the rewards were cut in half. 3K for a top tier mission and 5K for a defense mission on Eris (used to be 6K and 9+K) Just one more kick in the teeth to add to this update. Guess we needed to have that nerfed because archwing stuff went in there instead of dropping from arching missions. I wanted to play archwing for a reason... not buy it with syndicate standing.

Roboplus Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It's a pretty extreme reduction to faction rep for completing their missions. I have to have faith and assume it was unintentional. From how minor the reward curve between higher tier missions is, the total rep from doing all three can be as low as a third of what it used to be. For me, not a huge deal. With a 22k daily cap I can still manage 30k a day with just 3 rep missions and no medallions collected. But that is cripplingly punishing to new, or even well seasoned players.

Emeryst Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think there is a bug now. They split the syndicate missions into the 5 tiers and you favored syndicate will offer 3 based on your tier. But somehow they are stuck on the lower tiers now even if you max the syndicates. Eg. With Perrin Sequence, its 1) Associate 2) Senior Associate 3) Executive 4) Senior Executive 5) Partner But the missions I am getting are from the 1st 3 tiers when I am actually at partner level. Also I think the rewards are inverted also. The Associate mission currently give the most rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG870 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I hope this is a bug and not intentional. Otherwise it's another serious nerf to Prime gear / Ducat acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntyd1s Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I also noticed The 3 given missions rank names and rewards are sorted in reverse of how they should be: For example, at Steel Meridian rank General (5), I got these missions: Defender (3) mission >> enemy levels ~20 Standings ~2k Valiant (2) mission >> enemy lvl ~25 Std ~3k Brave (1) mission >> enemy lvl ~30 Std ~5k I suspect the lowest syndicate rankers are currently getting lowest enemy levels with highest rewards right now = =; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xection9 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Glad i found his thread, i also search there's no mention syndicate point reward reduction in the patch note...WTH?! Well the bottom line is, if this is a nerfed DE just love kicking our teeth again and again, if this is a bug then this update is broken AF, DE seriously need to have Quality Assurance on next major update because i don't believe they have any atm which is insane considering the current Warframe status in the MMO scene.

RG870 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 9 hotfixes so far and still no official statement to this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyronz Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Possibly broken as intended since you can use syndicate points to get relics it makes sense from their view point to throttle further syndicate point acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG870 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) That's one possible explaination. But ntyd1s' posting makes it look more like the rewards have been flipped so you get high reward if you're low ranked with a syndicate. As I have all my syndicates at max rank I can't verify that. So all we can do is wait for an official statement (and keep asking for one). Edited July 15, 2016 by RG870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noveltyhero Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 For Suda I only got missions from first 3 tiers also. Just to say, I never had a problem finding a game for max rank missions previously on PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have four Syndicates maxed and not one of them has a mission of tier 4 or 5. The highest standing I could attain out of those twelve missions is 3,890. Does anyone here have a non-maxed Syndicate? It would be interesting to see if the division in mission tiers is bugged anywhere else. Also, I posted a thread in the bug reports section for them to better gain knowledge of the issue.

This is the only thing that i hate the most in nerf of SOTR, really hard to farm syndicate rep now, and the like forcing us to play with lower players, where as i dont like them just leeching me and wasting my time.... i always solo the syndicate alerts and able to farm likely 40-50k standings per day and i can spend my rep as all the alerts was for a proper ranks SM General get 3 general alerts, CS Genius get 3 genius alerts and so on... now? you know what yappens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state we should have one mission each of the tiers 5, 6 and 7 for a max rank Syndicate but at the moment, all we get are the tiers 1, 2 and 3. I made a bug report about this but it'll most likely still take a while given their current workload with all the other issues and fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually i dont care since i will solo them anyway, but i care about the significantly dropped standings that i can get daily... btw where is the patch note that we will get tier 5,6,7?

Kuestenjung Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Sure a bug. /s If it is a bug they would have fixxed it with one of the first 10 hotfixes. Edited July 19, 2016 by Kuestenjung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new in forum and don't have much time to explore.. You can find the notes of the main update here (you have to scroll way down to the bottom and expand the changes tab). This is what it says: Spoiler As a result of wanting to reduce the amount of playerbase splitting that the Syndicate Mission rank generation created, we've reduced this to simply have 7 missions per Syndicate. At Rank 1 in a given Syndicate, you get missions 1, 2, 3. At Rank 2 in a given Syndicate, you get missions 2, 3, 4. At Rank 3 in a given Syndicate, you get missions 3, 4, 5. At Rank 4 in a given Syndicate, you get missions 4, 5, 6. At Rank 5 in a given Syndicate, you get missions 5, 6, 7. 37 minutes ago, Kuestenjung said: Sure a bug. /s If it is a bug they would have fixxed it with one of the first 10 hotfixes. You can see my current missions here: http://puu.sh/q6SHX/627134fe51.jpg http://puu.sh/q6SIL/2e0ef28da2.jpg http://puu.sh/q6SJd/9ce059f770.jpg For reference, you can look up the titles of the respective higher ranks of the Syndicates or you can believe me that none of those missions match either of those (Crusader and Maxim for Hexis, Wise and Genius for Suda, Pure and Flawless for Loka and Senior Executive and Partner for Perrin). Usually, I'm very skeptical myself about some of the stuff they're doing but there's absolutely no reason to think this could be intended. As for your argument, there are simply too many broken things in the game right now for them to have everything fixed already. For example, the bugged capsule in Grineer Invasion missions is still not working which is surely not intended (or is that a possible nerf to Catalyst and Reactor acquisition? /s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh... and I guess that's why they reduced the cost from 25k for 3 Keys to 20k for 3 Relics, because they want it to be harder to buy them. Oh wait... that makes zero sense!

Credits/Affinity/resource drops rewards are slashed to 50% (whether on mission rewards or sortie rewards). Actually every reward the user was "getting" got lowered by 50% ( but "almost" everything "paying for" remains the same ). So why should Syndicate Mission Rewards be any different as its a reward as well. Ofcourse its business and gaming companies have to take steps to survive/rise, which perfect fine. Oh and I never said there is an "Evil intent" anywhere. Those are your words. Try not to plaster them on me. I'm merely talking on pure observation.

-AoN-CanoLathra- Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The rewards are still flipped, with high-tier missions having lower standing rewards then middle tier. Can't help but feel this may be intended, so that lower tiers can rank up faster within their syndicate while those already maxed can't just farm plat off of syndicate weapons and mods.
