How does Probation work? Apparently i'm still at 10 matches after 3 scouting missing and some quick play matches. Is it only full 4 dropdeck CW matches that count? if so then 10 matches is utterly ridiculous.

I've been a ghost bear loyalist sine faction came in and this is kinda pissing me off getting no rewards and and not knowing what is going on. At LEAST bank the probation points until the probation is passed.

Edit: And... I can't even find a non scouting game because no on wants to play for nothing.. WOW PGI, I've been a pretty staunch supporter against the complainers for a very long time, but this time, I think you screwed the pooch big time.

It quit counting down for me today, I guess. I thought it had something to do with me disbanding my one-man unit so I could snag a spiffier name, but maaaybe I'm wrong? Stuck at 4 to go, and I know I've run more than that today.

For me it counted solo scouting matches against probation period. It may be some kind of bug brought by all of that patching, hotfixing and broken servers.

play 10 games. doesnt matter how bad they are. i suggest scouting you can clear em faster.

[Sheriff Cinco]

I have played 12 matches and it is stuck at 4......

You ONLY reduce your probation counter by playing matches specifically for the faction you are loyalist to.

Still think something is wrong here. Played one match with my faction on a scouting attack, didn't drop the probation count. Then played two scouting defense matches on planet my faction owned, didn't drop the probation count. Then had a invasion defense ghost drop, didn't drop the probation count. So I don't know how to play any more with my faction than those first three matches.

[lordofbones]

Well, at least you can get a drop as your faction!

[Brandarr Gunnarson]

My Quickplay matches counted against Probation Time. That's how I got 'em done.

Dunno if that's WAI.

[lordofbones]

pretty sure that was a bug, which they fixed. All glory to PGI!

[lordofbones]

I guess the best answer to the original question, is that probation doesn't work, because it punishes players on the front end where you should be trying to get them hooked instead, and that's really dumb.

[Cryostriker]

yeah.. it's not fixed. Still nothing. An I've ONLY played ghost bear games and quick play

[Carl Wrede]

Its a bug, my counter is stuck at 7 games remaining and all other people in my unit also has the same problem with stuck counters.

Quick Play does not count because it is not Faction Warfare. You have to play Faction matches to count. Scouting does count and so does Invasion mode but scouting is faster of course.
