There are penances up to 250 Auric completions but only 30 for Auric Mael.
It’s not fair.

Also why is there a frame for 100x aurics but nothing for 250? Kinda dumb

it’s like 30 auric mael is as far as they want players go for.

Because they’re going to add to the penances over time? Same reason why there’s no reward past 4500 despite 4 additional 100 point milestones until the actual penance cap atm.
I’m all in favour of this, however I highly discourage the addition of more “streak” penances in maelstrom specifically because they lead to a lot of toxic behaviour. Ironically far more than the old set of penances that were banished to private games only.
That’s 30 more than what we need… Incentivising players for run the highest difficulti beyond their usual scope of comfort is bad for the game in the long run… creating fraction of interest between the public players alredy, like:
-
Pubs who just joining the game to farm penances and immidietly leaving the party if the penance completed or start to fail → (auric damnation survival title penance)
-
Halting the usual flow of the game → 1 or 2 player deciding to do puzzles when the rest of the party waiting at the near airlock resultinng to trigger multiple wave (risking for party wipe) or a call for vote kick.
I think it would be the best of future penances capped at vanilla damnation…
I’d welcome a few more chill mael penances like:
-
Complete X Auric Maelstrom missions with X modifier
You could do this one for every single modifier. Incentivising harder missions with lots of modifiers for faster penance progress -
Frame for completing 100/250 Auric Maelstorm missions
Kinda like the mission frames, feel like this one is missing.
As others said, Auric Storm Survivor made Maelstrom runs absolute hell these past few days with people alt+f4ing. Same with Atoma’s Elite Guard. While I personally liked these, it was an absolute nightmare getting them with pubs.
Complete X Auric Maelstrom missions with ANY modifier
You could do this one for every single modifier. Incentivising harder missions with lots of modifiers for faster penance progress
I fixed for you… whitouth propper map selection that wound be a reeeeealy PITA penance
I meant what I said because I know how fatshark operates. If they bothered to listen they’d do it in the most grindy fomo way possible. I’m just being realistic.
I’d prefer they don’t add incentives that push people into Auric that shouldn’t be there yet. Silly achievements isn’t a compelling reason to deteriorate matchmaking IMO, though clearly a lot of people care more than I can comprehend about the silly achievements 
I think this concept was thrown out the window when the only “transcendent” (orange) title is from the Auric Maelstrom penance…
Yeah I get that just would rather move back the other way than double down.
