So in case anyone didn't notice. They cut our after match c-bill rewards by about 30%

Thanks for that.

Also something else that is food for thought.

All you Founder's sitting on your premium time. Or Overlards who bought into the latest grab deal.

Your premium time has now been cut by roughly 30%

:3

Just so you're aware.

ADDENDUM

This is what you have to look forward to if you are absolutely tearing the nipples off everything in the match. A 30k kicker for 100+ match score with assists, kills, and damage.

But it's ok, because games take longer with 12 players, so you get your rewards slower.
Wait, what?

[Purlana]

It's to attract new players! Oh wait....

Subtle push for premium time. Personally I have purchased everything I want or need and have a sizable warchest for upcoming mechs so I don't mind too much but it is still pretty annoying for... well literally everyone else who isn't a Founder with a year of mech shekels saved up.

They said so in the patch notes...

The patch notes only said "adjusted" without saying how they got adjusted, because they didn't want to take a PR hit by saying "Oh hai guise, we made you earn spacebucks slower!"

You get 4,300cb for a kill and 6,500cb for an assist now, that's 700/1000 less than before.

But now there's 50% more enemies to fight, so the potential earnings from just kills and assists is greater at least.

There's also 50% more teammates to claim those rewards before you do.

That does not make the decision to lower our income any less stupid.

Only if you survive long enough. You have 50% more firepower flying on the field...

Kills maybe, but assists pay more anyway.

And 50% more targets for that firepower to fly at.

This is ridiculous. Make matches longer, give us less money per match. Greedy *****.

[Screech]

They took our job!!

[Tarrasque]

No one else seriously realizes that theres 8 more mechs to get c bills and xp from?

Its to keep things at an even keel, otherwise a lot more money would be getting passed around.

Yeah, but there is just as many people that could kill you twice as fast now. So it shouldn't have been played with. There might be more of a potential reward, but just as much added potential risk and being that with more players creates a longer over all match making less money at the end of it just kind of upsets me. That means getting cbills is going to take alot longer. I'm kind of questioning the motives behind this.

No, I it is only 4 I could get C-Bill and XP from. The other 4 actually cost me C-Bills and XP when I kill them.

This really ****** me off. They must be doing it just to make people spend more on premium. FFS.

[Praehotec8]

I totally support this game, but I have to agree this seems suspect. While there are, in fact, more targets, and more opportunity to obtain points, the reality is that most players will likely continue to earn about the same amount of points per match as before, as there is an equal increase in chance to get killed. With the adjustment in earnings, my experience so far has been a slight decrease in earnings per match, exacerbated by the longer match length.

It would be nice if once some data is obtained, rewards are increased back up...but then again, it's still more than we earned when R&R was still around so I guess it's not too bad.

[Huge]

For reverence I got 6 kills 7 assists and hit over 750 damage last match.

I got as much as I used to for half those kills and 100 less damage.

I've gotten 2,099 for kills and 3,700 for assists today.
