33k from the Raven game was due to our team accumulating over 650 conquest points (which admittedly made it a poor example for the point I was trying to make at the time) and another 8k was scouting because I was the first to target that heavy lance, so that was spotting, though not assists.

With 9k savior kill, 7.5k assist, 10.4k salvage, 3.7k damage, that's still 1/4 of my earnings coming from kill related bonuses, and almost half of it (58.6k) coming from the combined match win + cap points. For the record I only captured the same point twice, which remained in enemy control for a good time as well, so you can hardly attribute the full 33k to my doing, nor was it unique to me (I believe the whole team received this.)

Now I want to now what happens when I take out a medium/heavy and focus entirely on dealing non-killing damage for a few matches lol FOR SCIENCE!

Or, if you want, I'll take a light instead for parity with your example.

Nah, do it up with the medium/heavy. But don't throw any key kills if your team might not get it otherwise. Would hate to make pug matches even messier for science ;

all i wanna say is:

the idea behind the new rewards is great, encourages more participation and teamwork... BUT

as with many things in MWOs past, the execution leaves a lot to desire...

i´d consider this one of my better matches (in an unleveled crow, just btw) ... and barely cracked the 100k... seems like PGI needs more and more money...

Just read the changes. The bumps are nice, especially the loss one.

Still TAG has some weird properties to it (self spotting for kills, working on non-missile damage) and kills are far and away the best rewarded mechanic for anything but kill stealing.

OK. I will do it with chain-fired Tags !!!

aaand here I hop in, nice scoring what if I tell you I did that:

I would consider this hardly better than you, because less damage, but yet (I haven't screened it) I got 219.602 C-bills (with premium) and 3.700 XP (first win and premium). I don't really think I was correctly rewarded here compared to you, we should have been way closer in the rewarding to each other, yet I got so much more (~ 50% more cbills without premium).

Spoiler

watch how amazing I was (aka the assaults that could dakka me away but didn't for some reason) maybe no oen shoots badders because they are considered not as a threat?


it ends before score because record ended autmatically :/ yet above numebrs are correct I am just too lazy to screen the second vid showing the rest where i shot the afk TBr death after some teamamtes shot at it too it (you know waiting for grantign others assists as well .

Well with the MM being as it is and putting you in a position of 12-0 to 12-4 losses still ... giving you a huge C-Bill reward of 15-30k if you are lucky I would say that it kind of wreaks of 'ill thought out' and yet again a sneaky way to cut earnings hoping to sell MC for prem accounts.... Allways with the money this game is.

Well I'm really bored of this now and think i'll go back to a game I have been playing for the last 6 months apart from the odd week here and there when I see if this has got any better. Back to FUN!

And it's goodbye from him!

401k cbills from a Conquest map in my Cent AH, with premium enabled, thats my highest ever

• 730 dmg
  
• 4 kills
  
• 4 assists

[ExoForce]

Chain-fire Tag needs to be buffed. I suggest increase the range to 1500 m when chain-fired.
We were crushed 5 times in a row.
Only Tags used with ECM, no weapon or consumable used.

So holding Tag is more C-bills then chain-fire them.

Taking a nice easy walk in the park with a Narc (broken a leg within 5 min and barely moved afterward), 150k CB




Leading the team charging into hell then back, 4 kills including 2 Assaults. 135k CB




Working as intended?

May be I am being thick (would not be the 1st time )

But I see a lot of players moaning about getting less/no cash for lossing, Well when you lose you should get next to no cash , you lost hell if it was 'real' you would be dead !

Over all I would say my earnings have gone up and I
A) Play Mediums only
am a terrible player (see my tag line)

I like the new system and like seeing the reward flash up on screen , give a sense of achivment.

If this was real, mechs would not exist. This is a video game. Half of the players in every match lose the match. If they get nothing for playing, people who get on a losing streak will just quit altogether.

Is this what you want?

Rewards 2.0 looks really, really good.

I'll reserve judgement for when I've tried them out, but if it's as good as it looks I'll buy a $80 IS reinforcement pack tomorrow.
