PSA: You do NOT get 1/6 of the crate rewards when you complete the Master Mission

JayZ

This is an idiotic misconception, and I'm tired of seeing people say they are getting screwed by the Master Mission because they are not getting post-mission crate rewards for all 6 missions.

1. No one is forcing you to play the Master Mission. If you don't like it, don't use it. Unlike Round Passes, it is purely optional.

2. More importantly, you do NOT lose out on crates because you are SAVING gas.

If you have 30 gas, you can normally play one challenge round and get rewards after six missions. With 30 gas and the Master Pass, you can play one challenge round, and still play FOUR more challenge missions OR scavenge missions. So in total, you still get to play FIVE missions and open crates for FIVE missions.

Yes, you play ONE fewer mission, but if you value your time like I do, then it is totally worth it.

To address some other complaints:
- If you are a lower level player and you think the Master Mission is too hard, then you probably aren't affected by the grind and don't have need for the Master Mission.
- If you are a lower level player and you think the Master Mission is taking away opportunities to get resources, think again. Because you are completing the Master Mission, you will have more gas to run supply scavenge (because supplies disappear from the challenge after level 26). That will help you build your camp faster.
- If you have to rerun the Master Mission and you are wasting gas, then you probably aren't that affected by the grind. You can probably play through the lower levels and still be done relatively quickly.

Can the Master Mission be tweaked or balanced differently? Sure. But currently, there is no downside to it. So please stop complaining about "resource loss" because you are not losing out on anything except for resources from one mission, at most.

Thank you so much to NG for implementing this. It has saved me so much time already and made it a lot easier to balance the game with IRL demands.

Think about it this way:

You have $30. You usually spend $30 on six beers from the pub ($5 each).

One day, you try to get six beers from the pub, but they can only sell you one because they are out of beer. You don't lose the rest of your money. You can still use your money on other things.

In economics, this is a concept called opportunity cost.

Well said JZ

Funny thing is that you have to explain it.
Spot on.

I absolutely love this MM which has free my time to do more real life stuff as for people who are complaining just carry on grinding and play all missions

@JayZ you are a master mission debater!

Even if you choose to Play 3 or 4 Master missions in a row, the crate rewards from the higher level offset the smaller number of missions played. I completed a level 36 Master mission and opened a bronze crate with 20,000 XP. I was pleased

I'm for the MM, I've been able to reach my guild minimum by day 2 rather than by weekend. If you're fortunate to land a more trivial mission, you can 3 star and skip all levels til the next round. I'm not overly fond of the +6 difficulty, but this beats the old system.
