As we saw you must now do every challenge to master the Reapers and not enough husks spawn on any difficulty.
(Already got my Reaper MasteryPosted Image)
Now we need them to see that these husk points are insane nobody in the right mind would get 450,000 husk points.
Anyone who supports write /signed
To show how we want to do the Reaper Mastery but not have it take forever
Edit: Now only for Reapers.
Also noted: it seems guardians are now harder to find since the addition of dragoons I propose the guardians get less points aswell OR their numbers are increased and the dragoons are decreased.
Edit 2:Poll added-Poll

This change was made to fix a bug that was worse. We also cannot lower the value of a challenge because it would cause the same bug. It's unfortunate but this was a requirement to avoid a worse issue. We were aware when doing it however that husks would be a problem and have been discussing our plans for that. When we have something solid we'll let you know.

Just to further clarify, here's the issue that was caused:

The challenges in these categories were primarily made up of three tier challenges. For example:
Husk Mastery 1
Husk Mastery 2
Husk Mastery 3

The bug we encountered was that if a player has completed Husk Mastery 1 and 2 for example, and then gains the rest of the challenge completions needed to finish the gold, without finishing Husk Mastery 3, they were now in this situation:

Husk Mastery 1 completed
Husk Mastery 2 completed
Husk Mastery 3 in progress

When the gold medal is completed all challenges that were completed for it are reset Now the player is in the situation of having 0 points completed in mastery 1 and 2, but having mastery 3 mostly completed already. This prevents mastery 3 from ever completing. Mastery 3 now continues to rack points past 100% without ever registering as complete, and can never count for credit towards another gold cycle.

This is an issue with all places where we have used multi-tier challenges. We decided we could leave Biotic God and Tech Mastery, because it is incredibly difficult to fill enough powers to complete it an not happen to max combos in the process, however leaving a number of challenges in half completed state was a much more common issue with the combat mastery and factional mastery challenges.

I thought that'd be the problem with lowering the points. People currently over the completion value for a challenge would be unable to complete it. Nice to hear that you were aware of what the changes would do though.


That's correct.  If we lowered point values, any player who is already over the new value would be left with a stuck challenge that could never be completed.

Now I'm confused... when I completed Geth Mastery, my stuff kept adding into the Points 3 things I hadn't filled while doing the challenge. Such as, in the challenge, I had Geth Pyro Points 3 not done yet, but other things filled up and got my banner. After my banner though, it kept adding into Points 3. 1 & 2 did not reset.

Does that mean it is bugged?


Yes, and we are working on getting your accounts into a good state again

All of the things being asked for require a patch. While they are not impossible, they aren't a 'fix in the next couple week' solutions. Right now we are utilizing what our live update system allows us to use as a fix for the time being. It's not ideal, but it's the one we have.
