Not showing correct mission points bug being fixed?

Unknown

With the hulk event it is really anoying to have to close the app, remove it from background tasks, and restart to see the current point totals. I try to keep count but find myself doing 0 point missions by mistake sometimes. Seems like it should be a simple thing to fix but who knows. Not sure if this is an across the board issue or not but I'm using iOS.

Wish they'd fix this as well. Hopefully soon.

While it's probably not "hard" to code, they would have to implement a server call every time you popped up a mission. That is likely a fairly notable increase of server calls, which might not ever be worth it.

Don't they do a server call anyway whenever you finish a mission, to update score and rank?

Yeah, but that's still too early. Because of rubber banding, you'll never know if the value is correct if the number was retrieved just after you beat the last mission, if in between you doing the previous mission something changes in the leaderboard to change your multiplier, then the number is still wrong. Granted, it's probably closer to being correct than it is now.

Yes, but they do the server call to get that correct number when you get out so it can display the right number of points at the top of the screen, in the leaderboard, etc. -- so there's no good reason it cannot display at least a somewhat more accurate number as well -- that value could be in the reply with your updated score. It might not be 100% accurate, but it'd at least be closer. In particular it would tell you if you've exhausted a mission, which would be really useful to know.

I agree that having it refresh whenever you checked would be costly, but just adding the one mission wouldn't be. If you want pipe dream, have it refresh all the targets (in PvP too), but that might involve more backend processing than desired.

But, really, the current implementation makes me want to pull my hair out as a developer... but that's probably just me being a developer and thinking I know a system that I don't

Yeah, at the very least to have it immedaitely update the mission you just did would be great. We know it updates other missions eventually. The biggest problem for me is knowing whether I should repeat what I just did.

What he said.

What I do when I lose count and can't remember if I did one mission a 4th or 5th time; is I go to the Prologue > H.A.M.M.E.R > Avengers Tower, Attacked! and complete that one in about 10 seconds or less. Go back to the mission I was questioning to go further on and the points will be updated to still show a point or two or nothing. It is much easier than quote="greggray24"]to close the app, remove it from background tasks, and restart to see the current point totals.[/quote] Besides you get a whole 20 ISO out of it.

This is just another way to update the app faster. Use it at your own will.
