Badlands Battlezone Marks

edited October 2015 in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
I did my first Badlands Battlezone. Pretty nice. However, I rarely got marks. Only once for capturing a zone where I got my daily bonus box even though I had previously done the space queue and didn't get it there. And I only got marks on 1 of 3 boss zones and for the final battle after the end. For all other small zones I got marks 1 of 6 times despite full participation in 5 of 6.

Not including the bonus daily marks I got a grand total of 45 marks for very full participation. I did get the 4 elite marks properly.

    Same here.
    I think I also saw someone write in the zone chat that he/she didn't get the elite marks at the end, dunno if that's true though. But could be the same or similar bug.

    Same. I was getting Tier I rewards at nearly every capture point, despite being heavily involved in destroying enemy ships AND interacting with objects at each point. I really hope this is just a bug and will be fixed, otherwise the zone won't be rewarding enough to be worth my time.

    That might explain why I haven't obtain more accolades... Got wrap ones, but not all basic accos.

    Having similar issues here as well. No marks at all on the 3 boss stations. I have heard as well some are not even getting those Gravimetric Inducers.

    can confirm getting the marks is spotty at best. for a cut and paste copy of voth BZ this is a fail
  • bunansabunansa Member Posts: 928 Arc User
    Same, done it 3 full times today so have 12 of the elite marks but the normal mark payout is hideous
    combined with the low payout of the queued missions since optionals aren't even decent (cant keep the macos alive for TRIBBLE in the ground map even with healers)

    also anyone else having issues with the hourly rep ? I did it 4 times today but stuck at 400 xp only...

    It's definitely a bug. I did it once today and got about 180 marks for the full run with the ending battle. A good chunk of that though was the daily box.

    It's definitely supposed to be rewarding. I saw other people in the exact same run as me saying they got nothing while others got makrs. Something is definitely off.

    I've noticed that in the BZ it seems that your DPS contribution is determining what Tier reward you're getting now. I've started capture points on my own and have got far on my own, then 10 players fly in and smoke everything in sight and I end up getting T1 garbage for rewards. If I'm imagining things, please correct me. I have got T4 rewards a few times, but that's because there were no more than me and a couple others. Why are we being curbed again?

    YES, this is happening a LOT. I knew this would happen too if they didn't fix Kemo, but thats not the cause of the issue, only greatly contributing to it. On my main toon doing 60 to 70k dps I have no problem earning top rewards at every point, on my poorly geared alts doing 20 i can't seem to ever earn ANY marks from the capture points in new bz, apparently teir1 reward give ZERO marks, which is seriously ridiculous. This new scoring system in the Badlands bz is seriously completely F..ing over low dps players.

    Yeah, something is definitely off here compared to the other battlezones. I spent nearly the entire time on a Power Station point, prioritizing staying within 3km of the satellite, but still shooting at anything that got in range, and ended up with a Tier 1 reward. I'm not sure how the battlezone scoring works, but it seems like either the minimum damage dealt threshold is too high, or its weighing damage too high if it compares player performance?

    The dilithium reward for taking out the bases is pitiful compared to the bosses in the other battlezones, too. Which should really be looked at, given the bases are more involved to take down and it's unlikely that any single player will be able to get them all.

    Definitely something wrong here. I did a full run last night and we got two of the three boss stations down before the last one bugged out and we had no way to drop the shield. When the timer ran out I got only 8 dilithium and 1XP as a reward. What a massive waste of time, considering I'd solo'd the first station until other players arrived.

    Also on the control points I have no idea how your reward is calculated. I've done loads of damage and gotten nothing and on some i barely do anything but get much higher reward.

    Me and 5 of my fleet mates had the same issue last night. And no it's not only related to DPS issue as we were alone about capturing a point and not a single one of us got marks from it. So while DPS/Kemo might add to the problem there's something underlying that isn't working at all.
    Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

    Yeah it's not just dps problem because I got the full dil and exp rewards on 5 of 6 points but only got marks on 1. Same with the 3 boss zones where I got all but marks. The only part that seemed to work properly for me was the final battle.

    Same complaint. Captured most of the points (About 7), then participated in destroying all 3 bases. All I got were tier 1 rewards and none of the promised Terran rewards.

    Also, the lag in that map last night made it almost impossible to play.

    Same for me. I ran a full map and took 2/3 bases and got around 30 marks total. Lame.
