Contribution on the Hunt - Harder to get Full Credit? Bug after Maintenance? :(

[Kiara]

Hi All,

After this latest Maintenance (post Patch 2.3), to "fix" the Hunt system (increasing HP), I've noticed that contrary to the Patch Notes, the amount of Contribution per Player has NOT been "eased" but is actually far more stringent.

It sounds like a bug / error occurred in the formula calcuation. Per the Patch Notes:

"As the elite marks HP is increased, the amount of contribution points which affects the reward after defeating will be eased."

Post maintenance, I've attacked multiple B & A Rank NMs on the Hunt, with only ~ 8 - 10 people (I was solo). BEFORE the Maintenance, I was able to consistently get 5 Allied Seals (Max Contribution) with small groups like this (even when I solo'd or duo'd something).

After the Maintenance, I'm getting 1 - 2 Allied Seals at best. Again, with no one else around (8 - 10 people max).

In addition, in Full Parties, I can confirm that wailing on a B, A, or even S Rank post-maintenance has consistently yielded LESS than Full Credit / Contribution. It's much harder to get Full Credit now.

Doesn't this feel like a Bug / Error in the calculation for Contribution for the Hunt? Or Square secretly nerfing Seal Acquisition?
