For all the times we give grief, thank you to those who escalated the issue as well as those who implemented the Bulb change/hotfix!!!@EA_Blueberry @EA_David @EA_Lanna -- thank you, thank you, thank you! This makes us (forum crowd) feel like we're being heard.I've played the large majority of the evening, largely in part/due to the recent increase in Bulb earning rate! I didn't realize I'd quit playing because I resented how long it took me to earn rewards. (I see a gorgeous NC suit in my future!)Can't say thank you enough. Please pass the word along! ❤️EDIT: format

Indeed it's a good decision to decrease the amount EXP needed. Thanks for that PopCap! The rest of that hotfix does not work as intended. So you still have a lot of work to do. 😕

@spIash_damage I'll add my thanks for the escalation of the topic & the xp change! I have sadly seen, however, that some players are still having problems with stuck challenges??? That's a worry . . .

To be honest, praise where praise is due, but to implement a "hot"fix after more than a week (not really hot), postpone it and the majority of the fix (let's be honest, dropping the earn rate is easy peasy) is STILL not working (the "fix" part of hotfix also wrong) ...uh-uh, I can't really give my praise to the devs. Of course they mean no harm and have all the good intentions. But seeing this small issue being handled so badly, can you imagine how the bigger issues like aiming/movement/controls etc. will be handled in the future? I have major concerns tbh.

Yep me too... one was ok and the other was completed...seems a little odd as the fix was put back 2 days and yet its still not fixed... maybe they are having trouble fixing it.However I just did what I normally do and did some of the quest.... logged out and back in... killed another whatever and the bulb was awarded.Might help someone,but obviously not ideal.

@spIash_damage I think it's important to that even those of us that like the game, often a lot, point out problems so that the game will be better and will have a greater chance at longevity. I don't know about you but when I really don't care about a game, I don't go on the forums to complain about it, I uninstall it and move on!Some of us are more vocal than others and while I feel BfN has massive potential, it would be a disservice to just sing its praises when it still has some hurdles to get over. I fully understand impatience, I have literally caught myself getting angry at microwave popcorn taking too long to pop for example, but modern games are complex and have many people working on them so while I would love things fixed at the snap of my fingers, I know somethings can take much longer. The sooner some of the more glaring problems get fixed the better however, I want the PC community to be much, much larger for example, but the black screens, crashes, and other problems are not helping, but they can't be easy to fix considering how many of us are running just fine and don't have these issues!

Thank You Popcap/EA!!! | EA Forums

If anyone was here for GW2 and those delayed patches, you’d know those are indeed very HOTfixes.
I mean... out of 15k cost reducing to 5k and the Daily Bulbs getting fixed/unstuck ... I think the price reduction was most needed right this second. 😂
Besides - if I don’t boost morale with @Iron_Guard8 gone, who will? 🤷🏼‍♂️😢

@spIash_damage not gone just fighting a viral infection this week. (Finally back to work today and able to sit up for long periods without vertigo). While I wish it would have been fixed more quickly, this is an excellent change. It makes each PvP game and Ops feel far more meaningful and for those that can't play a lot to feel rewarded for their time. That's exactly what we want for a system like this.
I'm thinking next week's gift is prize bulbs to incentivize things further and help people catch up. And I have to say, for the few people that feel this is too much a change (I've seen that around actually), it encourages people to play, makes the rewards feel more rewarding, and in a game that requires a large pool of players, we want everyone playing all the time, so it's a fantastic change.

@Iron_Guard8 Ugh, hope you feel fully better soon! I've seen a few who think it's too much of a drop as well, but mostly YouTubers / pro gamers. I think it's a good thing if people finish early - it'll mean happier people playing the characters & modes they want, rather than a non-stop grind from one prize map to the next
