Datamining (Maximum Spoilers)

:joy: i just hope it is not true. I have been running 3 sets of missions a day

Same. I remember it being similar, with adrift, there was an invisible daily contribution limit.

But I thought, since there was an 8 hour cooldown between missions on this one, that this was how they were limiting it this time.

On the other hand, I can see how this limit would be done to make things ā€œfairā€ for those who have busy lives or jobs and aren’t a deadbeat like me or a retiree like yourself.

This is discrimination against the unemployed and the retired. How dare they?! :joy:

I heard about this too in a video I watched but I wasnt sure because the screenshot that was shown of the ā€œcodeā€ didnt exactly give me confidence that it was true.

I would imagine that you have to see the code on the server side, something we dont have access to as far as I know, rather than on our copy of the game’s side.

It should be on the server’s side that would accept only 3 and toss the rest out. But if it was on our side, that could be manipulated to a larger number, like 300,000 and someone could then auto-complete 300,000 by modding their game. So that wouldnt make sense from a security standpoint. But I could be wrong.

I dont see a reason why not to allow people the maximum amount of 9 per 24 hour period with three 8-hour cool downs. 9 is not that much, and the total needed on the server side could always be manipulated if we complete these too soon/late. So, im a skeptic if it is true.

I think the person mentioned they seen it in a video too…

Gotta love how unverified information gets spread around like it’s fact :see_no_evil_monkey:

Waiting patiently for le verification here, and if it turns out to be far from the truth, I have an information crusade to bring to many a comment section.

it depends, yes there is a value on the server side 3 per day…but that doesn’t necessarily mean what people expect. I mean does it work offline, and upload 3 times per day? only when playing online?..is it using the 24 clock, or using the windows as a day? so you can only submit 3 missions each ā€œvirtual dayā€ā€¦i say fuk it..just have fun.

@CaptainSteve just dropped a vid on this. Tbf i havent felt slighted either way since i’ll login and do the 3 available missions and head back to my main save to tend to my affairs there.

Plus it seems we’re on pretty good pace for Prismatic Core construction regardless.

Xaine’s World did a video on this a few days ago too. Unless someone at HG comes out and says ā€œthis is exactly how it worksā€ and shows receipts I’m gonna keep doing all 3 mission every chance I log in.

Same… also not going to set alarms to get me to login at weekends.

I will keep playing like I don’t know about the line of text.

Made the video to let others know that it’s there…

Personally I will do 3 min per day… but if I can do more I will.

Alright, this comes from CyberPunk2350 who does have access to serverside data (alongside my self and the rest of the RE team), but the way that value is used has likely changed drastically from what we were used to.

Before the swarm expedition, the MaxUserDailyContribution value was used to cap the amount of community mission submissions you could send serverside. Since the number of missions was capped at 3, this prevented players from modifying the submission amount in the files and, say, submit 100,000 missions worth of submissions with one mission.

Following the swarm, though, the community mission system has been overhauled. From my personal testing, it seems like the 3 missions cap now refers to the total amount of missions of a certain type you can perform per day. For example, if I do a salvage mission, the serverside cap of 3 is to limit me towards only being able to complete 3 of said missions per day (just in case I manage to mod in extra occupancies of the mission).

From my testing, you can submit up to 9 total missions in a 24 hour period, which is spread out over 3 sessions of 3 missions. So please don’t stop completing missions past the first set in a day.

I brought these tests to Cyberpunk’s attention and we agreed that this is how the system seems to work now. absolutely no fault the guy for this btw, HG just loves changing how things work under the hood without notice. From his perspective, it was a perfectly good reading of how the value used to function.

I discovered this by chance but thought it was just a glitch after having to ā€˜abandon’ one due to completion problems.
Good to know we can do a bit extra now.

Thats good to know! I didnt think we had access to server side information.

So my suspicions were correct, 9 a day makes a lot of sense to allow. No reason not to.

Key: Do all 9 contribute points?

From what I see on the serverside response, yep! I can submit a total of 9 missions per day and those show up on my account in that auth reply, so that seems to be the total 24-hour limit across all missions.
