This Major Order requires us to kill 5,000,000 Chargers, and special chargers like the Behemoth and Spore charger do not count. So to progress the MO, people have been suggesting dropping the difficulty to 5/6, since that’s where normal charger spawns are the highest.

The problem with that is, you get 36 medals from completing a D10 operation, but only 21 medals for completing a D6 - a 15 medal difference. So after 4 operations, you’ve missed out on 60 medals when the major order only rewards 50, if we even succeed (not looking good currently).

The same applies to D7-D9, but the break even points are different: 17 OPs for D7, 7 OPs for D8, and 5 OPs for D9. May or may not be worth it depending on how much you play.

I imagine there are lots of D10 players who do more than 3 OPs per week, so this is a bit of a disappointing MO when it’s in their best interest to ignore it.

      Sure, but it’s also about fun. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling like D6 is much less fun than D10

        I mean I don’t really play for medals, those things are real easy to get. I’ll also point out that d6 missions are faster to complete.

      I’ve been playing mostly D10s for a long time and still only have ~half the warbonds completed

    At this point I’m already capped out on medals, it’s pretty easy to earn them faster than we can spend them. Going out of your way to maximize medals earning is just optimizing the fun out of your game.
