APEX Mastery - Silver (Points Earned)

How are these points calculated, it seems to unbelievably slow?

    Well we know it is not Apex points as that is much much lower and it is definitely NOT XP which makes up the bonus stats summary, but there is two other possible areas i think 'points' can be...

    1.  You're finishing score from the results page of a match.

    2.  The sum of the value of all the medals that you earn in a match. (Bronze, Silver and Gold have a stepping value as you achieve them.)

    It could be one of the above, or even a mix of both.. but i'm more inclined to feel that points is not XP as you had thought but more these lower values that you can see on result screens.  If i was to guess i would say its your score.

    What WOULD be a good idea i suppose for you would be to make a note of what your 'points' is before a game, and then take a screenshot of the score summary page where the medals are shown after a game and see if you can pinpoint which one it is that represents points.

    I would do this for you, but i've already got Apex Mastery - Gold so i've no way of checking this now.   There is so little information out there on the web about these challenges and its a shame half the time it takes almost pure guess work to work it all out.

    aye it was one of those rare games that comes along that you instantly just enjoy playing,  I was the same with Tabula Rasa.. again a sci-fi game.. that sat right in my zone for what Ilike to play, and then on that game the man at the top of the company that developed it decided he wanted to fly himself off into space quite literally and not long after the product nosedived .. no end-game and a community pretty much screaming out for end-game content.  Yet the levelling up period was awesome.

    I don't think there has every been an absolutely perfect game, but so many have come close, but ended up making a complete mess of it due to being out of touch with the people who were subscribing or playing it.

    I love the multiplayer on ME:A I really do, but I think it took a sharp turn away from what i enjoy when i found myself suddenly needing so many cards again after playing so much each week so far.  I had a feeling something was wrong though when i noticed that the livestreams had stopped..and the 1.09 patch content putting so much loot content in all at once, was completely ignoring what the players probably would have liked to have seen.. and that is where they are out of touch on the multiplayer side.. the rest of it though. the bugs that have been in the game for so long unresolved.. and some game breaking content where people are being told.. 'load an old save game' as the fix.. thats not really excusable..  especially if these people are having to lose 4-5 hours gameplay time to play again to the same point and sometimes find the same issue occuring.

    I know its likely a tough job getting a product like this right, and you fix one thing and break another etc.. but in all the games I think i've ever played and i've played over many years!.. this game i've felt 'kept in the dark' the most on.  I just don't feel like there is a community to dev bridge for information bi-directional flow.

    Will it change in future?  I very much doubt it but i'm quite happy to be proven wrong.
