Scoring 25k+ Points, Escaping, Two Iridescents and Not Getting a Pip?!?

Here's the entire game.. (and me losing it at the end when I see I didn't get a pip, lol)

Is this a bug? I noticed I only got a silver in the objective but scored 8k max points, so maybe that's the problem? If so this is a bug that seems like it needs fixed. IDK...

    Points doesn't equal to objective completion. 8k in Objective could be because of coop action awarding more points and less emblem, 4k in Boldness could be just 4 totems (not the case here but just to show the difference), 5k in Survival is just escaping since the emblem in that category is based on death/escape this is the only one where points means emblem progression, 8k in Benevolent is because a Safe Hook Rescue rewards too much points (about 3 rescues and you already maxed out). Analysing your match with more care you can see that the only gens you were repairing was with other people (the emblem progression is shared, but the points are basically doubled) and most of the time you were rescuing instead of repairing. Chaser was another lacking category and that is self explanatory enough (less chases = less chaser emblem).

    Okay, that all makes sense I guess Joao, thanks for that explanation...

    However yesterday I had a game where I felt like I lost a pip, died early and only scored 11k points and GOT A PIP!

    This game after everything I did.. and escaping felt like it was an obvious pip.

    When I die within 4 minutes, barely do anything as in the game yesterday and score only 11k and get a pip, but then don't get a pip in this game I linked above escaping with 25k points... it just feels "WRONG". - I'm sure you can understand that. ..I think the developers really need to recalculate and re-evaluate how pips are earned in this game.

    Honestly the piping system is a royal mess for both parties.

    Sometimes you could literally play your heart out as a killer or a survivor and do really well and you don't pip.
