Why does the Waterboy mission take so long to complete?

I have landed first in my team with 0 kills 7 deaths with nothing but support XP ! ! ! !

Use Sparks or Use AURA n place health station on those special spots !

pretty sure EV damage XP, repair XP is game mode XP not support XP… support XP isnt hard to get thou if u are a competent medic… i usually finish up waterboy missions in 4-5 games with a sawbonez and with sparks well sparks is so insanely useful in completing support xp its like bashing a poor defenseless raptor baby to death with a sledge hammer so far i have gotten waterboy 3 times and each time i have taken no more than 3 games to complete… [/quote]

Interesting, wasn’t aware of it. So revives count towards support EXP too? It explains why I’ve never had a problem with getting those points.

Wasn’t this one bugged, too? I wonder if it still is.

i think the biggest problem is that game mode exp and combat exp can be completed with ANY merc, but waterboy really forces you to play medic or spam ammo to do it. there’s no way to earn support exp as a assault class WHICH imo is bad game design. either lower the requirement or give all mercs a way to earn reliable support exp.

Heartbeat sensor can do it!

I can’t say I’ve noticed difficulty in getting the xp for the Waterboy mission. Then again, I don’t pay too much attention to those missions anyway.

I’ll keep an eye out next time I need to do one and see how I get on. I imagine it will be easier with one of the ammo dispensing characters as teammates nearly always need ammo.

Well I like to start playing at reset and have the missions done within the hour. All 3 are possible unless one is waterboy. I then break until next reset.

Eh forget what I said… waterboy? Sparks!

(reliableTortoise) #31

sparks is the best thing to ever happen to waterboy revive lazorrrrrrr

Had the mission today. The progression is still bugged, either the listed xp required is off by a magnitude of ten or it counts gained support xp in a faulty manner.

(D'@athi) #33

Played stopwatch? If yes, it’s still bugged, only the second round counts towards the missionprogress.
