I just scored Over 200K in C Bills in my Raven 3L using TAG And NARC. 200K without Prem account.

Before the new system I would of never considered using NARC or TAG.

Teamwork is overpowered... and they Buffed it! What a bunch of sillynoggins.

And yet in another thread people are complaining of low earnings.

Just who is to be believed.

[Sarlic]

Its better. And i really like the fact that ECM capable mechs are protecting 'dead' lances like B4 on Crimson or Atlas, Whales with no ECM no temporary cover them.

Also with (certain) tonnage put together i find it lances are working together. Far more rewarding.

Problem is that whole team working together is still piss. There is still deaballing going around.

Great. Specific rewards they added for other roles of play are being rewarded. Meanwhile trying to play the same style of game I've been playing since closed beta are rewarding me with half of what I was getting before.

Forcing specific styles of play just to get rewards equal to the previous reward payouts isn't a fix, it's a step backwards. They should have added to the previous system, not change it entirely.

Considered mayhaps that "style" isn't conducive towards teamwork? In any case, there's more rewards to be added to reward other styles of play, I wouldn't see this as end-game for the rewards.

Forcing certain styles of play for rewards = Role Warfare.

I'd rather see an actual point to playing those roles than just making it the defacto way to get cbills.

Now it's just slap tag and slash or narc on your mech, no matter what it's actual /role/ is, and farm cash off of the ten billion LRM boats running around now. Fantastic.

Actully having narc/tag shoved on ontop of what you already have has always been a way to earn a extra 20-50k cbills, its the reason i used to be able to make half a mill cbills under the old system.... people just only clicked onto it with the new system as they were suddenly desperate to make more cbills.

I actully make slightly less in most games then i used to narcing from my lrmboat.

People who sucked under the old system suck more under the new as it rewards sucking less. Those who were fine under the old system are better under the new as the new system better rewards good game play.

Something off-topic i wanted to ask you: do you have your whole family playing? I see alots of Kerensky's, ha.

[Greenjulius]

Since the direct fire bug was fixed, it is harder to make the massive amounts that we had for the first 24 hours, but the increases to assists helped a lot. My earnings are lower than they used to be with my fighting kitfox, but higher in my dedicated information warfare raven.

I think assists may need to be raised slightly higher for fighting builds.

LRM boats with tag however are having a field day. It is so easy to build up cash tagging targets and LRMing them to death in my Stormcrow. TAG kills and damage all on your own is just icing on the cake. I can easily make 350k on a good win with premium time and no hero. I wish I had a prime variant for it, because it would basically print c-bills. 500k matches would not be overly difficult.

Sticking a tag on a DWF and tagging a mech as you unload UAC5s into it just to farm cbills is real good gameplay lol.

A big family indeed!

When I meet a Kerensky in a match, I'm temped to salute him with "Hi cousin! How are you!" or "Hi dear, how is going our uncle" or "Hey, where did you go last Christmas? We haven't meet you since..." or "Hey! did you started to eat too much last year? watch out or you cannot enter the cockpit! uauauau"....

i think a good way to solve THAT would be to assign tag/narc/spotting bonuses only to lights....maybe mediums....

Yes cause using a Laser pointer with ballistic weapons never happens. PGI Please I am losing money hand over fist. Why... I only made 164k C-Bills in a brawler Atlas-S with no fancy TAG/Narc added. And after that I even earned a pathetic 101k C-Bills. How am I ever going to buy anything making 530,000 C-Bills an Hour. Oh the humanity! Oh the shame!

I would think that using TAG would only help when Missiles are used... Is that not the case?
