    I really don't understand this game...

    So I have my Global difficulty set to Hard, just going around collecting materials and stuff. Then I played a mission and set it to Challenging. It said Challenging on the floaty mission window at the beginning of it. Even had the Challenging icon in the upper left next to the map. I get all the way through the mission thinking it was set to Challenging, but at the end it said Hard. I don't understand this. Do I have to have my global settings set to the same difficulty if I want to up the difficulty of missions? Or did it just change back to my global setting at the end and I overlooked it?

    Yeah if you up the difficulty on the mission it should go back to your global difficulty setting after you finish the mission.

    I think there might be some display bugs though. I matchmade into Potomac Event Center on Challenging, and the mission info screen at the first confirmed that. Yet the top of the screen said Hard, even tough it timed it and recorded it as league progress.

    Like others said, it also works like this the other way around: if you have your global settings on challenging but you start a normal bounty, you will see the "normal" icon in the upper corner.

    Yeah, I get that. That makes sense. But I was doing it to get better gear and to qualify it for progression, but at the end of the mission I didn't get the progression. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The changing from Mission setting back to world setting always throws me off too. Good news is if you didn’t notice any difference you should be ready to make that jump!
