Hi all,
I am making a central post about this, for better visibility.
For this event, until this morning around 9:30 AM ET, some of the failed missions were giving way too many VP points and rewards.
The issue has been addressed with a hotfix, and we are now examining the impact this has on the event, and what can be done about it.
I will update this post as soon as I know more.
Edit: to reflect that not all failed missions were affected by this issue.
