This thread has probably already been done but I feel it is worth saying again.

Several times today I have been playing ME3 multiplayer when, after several waves, a message comes up saying "You have lost your connection  to the Mass Effect 3 server. Please reconnect to access the online features of the game". It then exits and all my xp and credits earned disappear meaning all my work is wasted. I have already wasted about 3 hours today playing multiplayer and gaining nothing because of this.

My petition is: Please could the xp and credits earned in multiplayer be automatically stored at the end of each wave so if you lose connection, you can retain them. I know this might lead to people exiting on purpose but you could add some kind of penalty where you only get 50% or 25% of the points earned to discourage this while people getting disconnected do not lose everything.

Please reply if you agree or disagree with me.

Thanks, Richter

Edit: Here is a good suggestion from Lividliver that I feel deserves to be mentioned

I acknowledge people bailing on
matches halfway as a potential issue arising from it but I had in the
past suggested a measure to guard against it.

I think most of us
would agree that the problematic players will be those who abuse the
system to hop about games for easy credits in a short time.To curb such
undesirables,a timeout could be implemented for those who leave(be it dc
or quitting) ongoing matches.Say if one leaves a match halfway,he/she
could be slapped with a 5 or 10 min timeout and barred from joining
another match until it expires.

For those who need to bail on
matches halfway due to real life issues,they are going to do it
anyway,credits or no credits.So the timeout won't afffect this group.

For
those of us experiencing disconnects,it will be an inconvenience but
unless you are suffering from very frquent disconnects,it will be a once
in a blue moon thing in exchange for having your credits everytime it
occurs.

Totally agree.  Glad to know I am not alone on this.  I have been "Losing my connection to ME3" all the time now & it discourages me from even playing.  Getting to wave 10 & disconnecting...

This doesn't occur with ANY other online game I play so I know for a fact its ME servers.

Ragequitters will use this. Now they have at least one little penalty.

the credits and xp can be tied to the amount of wave passed instead of waiting till wave 10. hate it when a host ragequits or connection dies on me. lost way too many credits on this.

The week ME3 was released was playing on Firebase Reactor and got disconnected with 0:01 left until extraction. Despite only getting through a handful of extractions at that point, i remember laughing and thinking "oh well, that'll get fixed." Nope. Badly timed disconnects are just part of the game, it doesn't bother me that much. Keeping credits and XP would be some consolation but I doubt it will happen.

Honestly I am so fed up with making it to wave 10 on gold/platinum completing the objective and then losing connection for random reasons and thus 75,000/120,000+ credits and a half hour of my time goes down the drain.  I don't care if rage quitters take advantage of it, since they added in the join in progress I really don't care at all about rage quitters so I say bring on the instant xp/credits after waves and mission objectives.  I have lost close to or over 2 million credits in the past week to disconnects.

So all of you play just for the money or xp? Farming will fit you perfect.
Mostly when someone is disconnected he/she joins us again and loose only xp, but most of us use lv. 20 characters for gold/platinum, so they do not loose anything. 

btw - I do not have disconnects during game more than once a month.

What system do you play on?  I play on PC & am getting disconnected like 1 out of 3 games.  Like I stated earlier its gotten so ridiculous it discourages me from even playing. 

I play Left 4 Dead, League of Legends, Day Z, Company of Heroes, Starcraft 2, Mount & Blade Warband, online daily.  Absolutely no issues.  This only happens with Mass Effect 3, so I can say with 100% certainty there is something going on on Bioware's end.

At the least, consumables should only be removed from your manifest after normal game completion. That way, if you disconnect prematurely for whatever reason, you don't lose your gear in addition to not getting paid.

I probably lost over 2mil credits because of this.

I agree, i do not have many problems with disconnections, but most of my lost games were really difficult gold games, which ended in wave 11, one of them 5 seconds before extraction. Believe me, i was really furious.

well..... it's simple. you only get the stuff if you disconnect/leave for reasons other than clicking "exit game" that button voids your credits. sure rage quitters could just reboot their system, but meh whatever.
i would tend to agree. i don't get a lot of disconnects though - maybe i play at a time the servers aren't too taxed..... but it has happened and it's annoying. but yes, at the very least don't burn our consumables until the match is completed normally.... this would have the added benefit of - if you quite due to someone glitch/cheating - you don't have to lose your consumables too.

Agreeing with this. Especially annoying if you just cleared wave 10 of a platinum game and get the dreaded, "you were kicked from the game" or "You have lost connection" pop up. O_O

At least Heroes of Newerth/Dota 2 had the "reconnect" feature.
