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.

For those of us with the bugged Challenges we already completed, can that only be fixed in a patch as well? I am just wondering what the possible timeframe for it being reset to working order is. Thanks.


Also as Blennus pointed out, do we have to report ours is broken?

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

How much work is it to fix the accounts?  Is it something that can be automated (not much work), or is it manual (lots of work)?  I'm just wondering whether lowering the value of the husk/guardian challenges and then doing a one-time adjustment for everyone would be practical or not (which is only if it can be automated).

I agree. Husks take forever to get enough points to master the challenge completely.

Strange that the husk chllenge couldn't be removed without a patch..... they've added the krogan adept challenge, and they will be adding/removing weekend challenges.... (or was this set up with a specific backdoor to do it or something along those lines)

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.

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.

This is whats holding you guys back?  Seriously?

Step 1:  Shut down servers for maintenance
Step 2:  Set new limit, call it NEW_MAX
Step 3:  Run the following query on your database for all affected columns:  UPDATE player_challenge_data SET husk_3 = NEW_MAX-1 WHERE husk_3 >= NEW_MAX;
Step 4:  Start servers back up
Step 5:  Profit

Players would now just need to get a single point in the affected columns to put everything back on track.

The points on enemy challenges shouldn't be an arbitrary number but based on the amount the enemy spawns in a giving game.

Bumpy bump hoping for a Dev to answer about the account fixes, pretty please with sugar on top.

I think the enemy points need to be reduced seeing as how they upped the number of challenges that need to be completed. making it harder to get the banner we want literally days after the challenge system comes out sucks.

[Asebstos]

Wouldn't an obvious, non-bug causing fix be to add more husks?

Would doubling (or even tripling) the amount of xp earned from husks require a patch?
If adjusting the xp is possible, then after raising the xp for husks, you could then lower the xp values of other reapers by a small amount to keep the reapers from becoming too xp heavy. (The N7 promoters would have a field day.)

Or perhaps you could have husks show up in all factions for a weekend, just like banshees did that one time. It would be kind of fun.

It takes forever to find large enough packs to kill of these zombies, just to take that challenge....

Who came up with that number for husks? i mean 450k that would take me a year (or two) to finish

[RoboKingSlay]

/signed!

i ****ing hate this! im farming reapers over and over again but with 275 point for each husk and the low amount that spawns, its such an endless grind to complete!

[DJ Airsurfer]

mfw people haven't got the Death Guard banner yet

[Dakidjosh]

i just finished reaper mastery the other day so def /SIGNED so no1 has to go through what i had to grind through

[HolyAvenger]

LAWL at grinders. I just UUG and UUP all the time, and my Reaper mastery was the first of the enemy faction banners to drop.

[UnknownMercenary]

I already got Deathguard once. Getting the husk points took forever, and it's all that's left for me to get Deathguard a second time lol.

[Ziegrif]

Hah!
I still don't have the Death Guard but I do have the Collector and Geth banners twice now by normally playing. Still 50k to go for husks and 50k for Guardians at Cerb.

[billpickles]

Necro much?

And besides...Guardians are far worse. Sure, they're worth significantly more points. But ever since the advent of Dragoons, Guardians are an endangered species.

And yes, I know you can solo Silver and farm them on wave 10. I'm close enough and got there the old fashioned way. But that's not to say it wasn't annoying.

I find it interesting you mention Guardians, I was done with Guardians before I was done with Nemesis and Phantoms.
I mostly do silver, though.

[SoulRebel_1979]

Just got this banner the other day, not trying for it, happened naturally. What's the big rush to get the banner? Just play and it'll happen.

This....first round I did solo to complete, play mainly U/U/G......almost completed X4

[Sable Dove]

Even playing mostly silver, Husks will still be your last challenge by a fair bit.

Playing mostly on any other difficulty means that your Husk points will be about half way to the second challenge when you complete everything else. They need another increase to their value. Like. Another 20-30% of what they are now, at least.
