I noticed the huge difference as well once i stared 

im still experimenting with the OP's as well, i slowed down at unlocking troops until i got a clear idea

Hi! Let me draw your attention that rewards depend on your losses. Operations mechanic is a part of the gameplay so we let players figure this out by themselves.

Once again ops is a waste of time...

Spent 1.5mill on ops and won back less than 500k in airpower.....  most of that 1.5 mill was behemoth tanks so i threw plenty of rss at the bank and 30% return on invested power is very frustrating when a month ago it was much better. May just quit ops and burn bases instead. Or look for a game thats not trying to squeeze blood from a rock. 

They do it on purpose it seems. The more you lose and do not get back the more chance of players spending money because the only timely or practical option to get their massive losses back is to purchase packs. They purposely balanced spec ops around the diamond recovery system. 

I remember when I got rewarded a bit over 500 Sekira drones and I think a few Titan Vertibirds. Anyway, I threw my whole reward at both Spec ops without killing either. Then I killed off the highest one. And..... lol. No troop reward. I was like WTH, "I PAYED OFF THE BANK BY PUTTING THE WHOLE REWARD BACK INTO THE BANK". I fipped out. Nearly threw my phone...... :(

So the system is not full proof. And I do not care if you do not pay back the bank. No way should you ever get two spec ops missions in a row without troop rewards. That is just plain wrong. Let alone 3 or more. 

A change does need to be made especially if people who do not spend hundreds on this game are to enjoy the other elements such as pvp.  its just not worth it spec ops needs to provide more troops and gains then it is currently.  yeah you can get rewards but how often do you see planes or other high rss units as rewards.  400 marines in rss wont even earn a plane.  100 mechs maybe a couple and then the power of those 3 planes wasnt and wont ever be worth the loss of those 100 reapers. ,you need to make changes if you are spending weeks to upgrade planes make it worth it.  why dont you change the algorithm to something easier to manage.  you have coiners running around killing all your spec ops troops and you cant even get close to recovering or being worth anything for your teamates.  this is supposed to be a strat game not a buy 160 baracudas game then destroy 120 peoples hard work they put into the game.  it feels like you dont care about your playerbase 

Interesting.

Did they made an update in Operations Reward?

Previously i received reward from the Ops normally. So when i loose all my army i receive a reward, but now i have finished several operations, i have drained All my troops (Reward from Ops and from Tournaments, and from resources) and i did not receive any reward. Looks like algorithm become more randomized and more greedy.

Plarium didn't change anything in Ops reward system.

As I know, there is total bank, not separated.

Ok. New day, new expiriments and new toughts.

Once again i have lost all my army in the OPs. Even when i have tried to beat them from smallest to the largest. I have even pay all my diamonds to revive troops and beat the highest possible operation. So, no prize. and i have no army once again.

So, here moderators and community manager told us about tactics, about skills and etc...

I  have a tactic of beating OPs. This tactic worked like a swiss clock. Everything was OK BEFORE THE LATEST GAME UPDATE.

So i can see 2 ways of changes that you have done with OPs.

1) You brought more random to winning the prize. And now it is really extreme random and noone can predict winning or loosing. Very good for you - people will donate more or will leave the game.

2) You set total bank to ZERO! Because it is the second possible way. I can see that I am not able  to win a prize from OPs higher than 40 level.

Previously i had prize from 57 and even 63 level of OP. Now 32 is my limit. It is UNFAIR. I dont want to play the game which can delete all my achivments every update and i will need to pay money to get to the level I had before your updates.

Of course you can tell that nothing was changed. but my experience after latest update showed me that you REALLY MADE CHANGES and this opinion is not only mine.

Commander Huntsmen, due to the random element of the Reward system, it can happen that players play for some period of time without receiving massive Rewards. On the contrary, it can also mean that players can win huge rewards from consecutive Battles. In more objective terms, the Reward system takes all of your lost Units into account: each completed Special Op increases the likelihood of receiving a massive Reward. Keep fighting and you will get there! 

Talk about random. I have payed back the bank AND more by %15-25 and got back only 1/3rd of the RSS I put in the bank. Thought to myself, has to be a split payout. And nope, was not a split payout. As you can imagine I nearly threw my tablet out the window. It IS random and it IS not fair or sustainable. Disgustingly unbalanced more times then not. Also once you get a REALLY big reward. It can be impossible to pay that reward back. There needs to be a system in place for that. Like after a week the bank should reset. Whomever designed the Spec Ops system obviously catered it more for the guys who can spend and diamond revive their troops. Evident by the fact that the people in the weekly top 10 for operations are massive coiners with bottomless coffers.
