this happened to me twice last night.
1st time: we just finished wave 6 in plat
2nd time (VERY infuriating; I quit the game altogether): Wave 10. Plat. Was about to deal the killing blow to the final "top ranking personnel".
Talk about "tough luck".
...don't even get me started on how awfully hard it has been to get my blasted destroyer...

Just disconnected twice in a row. Internet connection is fine, so the problem isn't on my side.
The idea for earning credits and xp upon disconnection is good, but I would like to encourage fixing the root of the problem: the EA servers. It's been six month and the problems still persist.

Best compromise IMHO is only to save XP and credits at the end of waves 3, 6 and 10. Not after each wave. That would also discourage hopping, because it's unpredictable at which wave one enters a match.

Signed. I don't even know why this problem exists, should have been a system to avoid credit/XP losses to start with

no, this is propably hard to implement correctly... I would prefer if the devs spent their time fixing the various well-known bugs in the game

I'm running it on the PC and its the only Origin MP game I got. The Steam games (such as Left4Dead2) are running without a hitch and did so for years. On ME3 I'm getting disconnected 2 or 3 times a day.

I suppose it depends on the developer's philosophy. Give the benefit of the doubt to the disconnected (as in they didn't do it on purpose) or treat every disconnect as if it were an attempted scamming of the system.
I'd prefer the former with a prorated reward for the time up until you were disconnected.

If you are not an employee of Bioware, then any thread you make is not official. Even if you raped your Caps lock button.

Alan Wake, Dead Island, Call of Duty, Endwar, Skyrim, and Saint's Row 3 virtually never freeze/disconnect. In Mass Effect 3, it's a stroke of luck to get through two games before a freeze or disconnect. Something's wrong with this game and their servers, compensate us somehow.
Haha that's pretty good. All of those games crash and freeze for certain users.
I've been dropped from a few ME3 games but it is difficult to tell whether that is because of EA's servers or my ISP. It's frustrating, but losing the credits is the least of my frustrations in that situation.
You're playing a game, not working for minimum wage. If you want to be compensated, go to work. If you want to have fun playing a game, play ME3.... or another game if ME3 isn't fun for you.
It truly amazes me how many people have "fun" confused with pulling the lever on a slot machine after completing a match. The ~twenty minutes you spend inside a match is the part of the game you play. The five seconds you spend opening a PSP is the part of the game you watch a semi-RNG pick which six items you get.

I agree, Mass Effect 3 is a game and, despite being disconneted so much, I still find it very enjoyable. I started this thread not because the credits and xp are the only point of the game but because I feel disappointed when it suddenly exits as I not only lose my stuff, I also have to start a new match which takes away the fun and sense of acheivement in the game.
