Wat Mission Changes?

Normally I would just chalk up a loss in a TB to luck, which is what I did when I failed to complete the special mission this TB. I have all G12 Geo's, so even though I haven't lost a wat Mission in several months, it still could be bad RNG.

I analyzed my loss and concluded that I just had terrible luck with sticking ability blocks and that perhaps somehow the speeds fluctuate, as they got 3 AoEs off on me before I could ability block anyone. Bad luck.

Then, one by one, guild members began reporting losses, stating the same loss reasons. We normally get 20-25 wat shards per TB, but this time we're going to get 2. Two. TWO!

3 different people who have at least 2-3 G13 Geo's have been among those recording losses. The only ones to succeed had 3 minimum G13s. This has never been a requirement, especially since G13 wasn't even a thing when this launched. And yes, we had all the platoon bonuses maxed.

Anyone else notice changes this time around?
