Oooh, how do these decreased rewards work?
Are all these contracts effectively variable-rate payment?
If a mechwarrior doesn't like it, the contract breakage faults the warrior?

[Deathlike]

It's just the bonus for winning on the contract. Nothing else is factored in when it comes to rewards.

This is just band aid for a much bigger problem but also do you really think in paul economy 50k per WIN will really change anything? The few people left playing CW aren't just gonna switch sides for a minor increase in winnings.

[LightTreason]

This should be what you get paid for a contested loss, and a win double that. Not enough of an incentive for losing matches currently. Not enough incentive for CW, period, actually. It's a ghost town these days and I don't really feel obliged to get involved. It's just not worth it right now.

[Kyrie]

I am beginning to understand the endless references to the #Paulconomy. ;-)

[luxebo]

Why'd PGI lower FRR rewards? We've been doing pretty dang bad these recent days. Can we get a buff back to original 100,000?

Why are the rewards based off population though? Should be how well people are doing in gameplay (i.e. how many planets the specifc faction is eating at once).

[Deathlike]

There was some major movement for the FRR for a period, thus affecting it.

What isn't surprising is the Clan Wolf change though.

Of course.. it's hard to not notice these things when you play CW enough to notice the trends...

[Kalamity27]

Working as intended, giving mercs an opportunity to go where the money is and shift the player base.

This.

[EvGaS]

I dont think what this is strong motivation in choosing side...

Need doule that money reward for weaks sides or totally change system of motivation (like in choosing sides and in CW totally as a regime of game, cause not so much players).

[Want0n]

The Antares Scorpion Mercenaries salute our new supreme and benevolent leader. Ni Hao!

[Wildstreak]

This whole Economy system is broken, another item to fix that will not get fixed because the No Nerf crowd will see it as one when it is not then the BS accusations will happen. Take this for example.

This is what other players told me you got for fighting for Davion when I tried CW back around the change of year (end December - start January). Pretty odd considering any victory gave me this:



I got 25K more CB for every victory than other players said should have been given out.
That's a problem.

[DelphiAuriga]

This must be revisited NOW.

Clanners have the advantage in mechs chassises, and lets not speak of the modular omnipods, they should be paid less than any inner sphere.

And in the same way, factions having to face it time and again (( FRR!!!! )) should be paid more. Not that is a big diference itself, but a reward is allways a reward, and i dont get why a wolf get the same a rasalhage can for a way tougher game.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Yes and acc to lore....Mercs should get nearly 0 C Bills for FRR and the Chance that mechs get stolen out of their mechbays.

The test IS-Clan in PUG matchmaker show it clearly. Its not simply my point. Its a fact that clan mechs are WAY better than IS ones.

You can't even pull off a decent match with 50% quirk bonuses? Just quit playing then.

I understand that saying u that ur mechs are way better, and, let me reminder you also, with a quirk a-la-carte due to omnipod system, makes u rage, clanners, but, just stop.

Im not telling a single lie or subjective argument, thats why u have to resort to irony and insulting, cause ur lack of arguments to support ur point is at the very least dissapointing.

Just so my point dont get lost in ur rage-stomp:

Isn't the end pay out affected by your contract length? So, if you go loyalist which I believe a 50% bonus, your 50k base Davion payout goes up to 75k?

Although, not the loyalty point total.....

Not shown of course..... documentation of modern games seems to be lacking sometimes
