I figured it out guys.

All you have to do for max rewards is run dual gauss.

I went from earning 50k a match average in diverse, varried loadouts, to earning over 200K a match using a dual gauss illia.

I'm not really seeing a huge difference between the previous rewards or the new rewards... so either I'm doing something right or ... magic! *jazz hands*

I removed all those insulting and trolling posts from this thread.

All those of you who believe it's funny or "good sport" to insult another player need to seriously rethink this. I noted your names down and on the next occasion where you portait the same behavior, I'll moderate you according to protocol, instead of letting you off with a soft warning like this.

Im sorry but I need a legit screen shot for that one.

Seems utterly impossible - Please get me a screen shot.

not impossible if he's on the losing side I would think.

Is capturing a base really only 75 C-Bills? No wonder no one wants caps.

[Ens]

it´s 75 per *tick* i believe

Look - this is about having your cake and eating it too.

There can't be "bonuses" without penalties - now losses apparently can penalize players, and so, too, do those losses that penalize players, do also incentivize not blowing consumables left and right in every possible game.

Not every mech should be rewarded identically, and segregating the rewards by weight class seems like the best way to implement a role warfare based benefit system. The Medium queue has how many in it now? 50%? It appears that this is working to some degree already.

So there you have your cake, the one we - the community, have been asking for, for literally years.

Now eat it.

I prefer to eat my cake and have it to!

Lets say there's 100 ticks in one capture (7500CB), divide that up between 12 people and it's about half a turret kill (625CB each).

Don't have a screen - but i made 37k with the same condition before the change - and i did deal damage.... on multiple targets to deny them to capture our base

Do I get an apology for all the people who called this out as trolling BS?

Not likely.

(You will not get an apology, because you are known for hyperbole (29k, really?))

I am giving it some time to get used to the rewards.

And it paid off.. I stopped typing this reply because my match had started (on a map I am normally not fond of)

I just started this morning:
69k (very late loading in.. like 2 minutes in)
then 96k
then 149k..

and the match I was *JUST* in...

295k. (That does include premium, but I am purposely trying to avoid running (I) variants for the moment.)

Will post screenshot in a few.

Its been proven by others in this topic that it's easily do-able and a regular occurance.

[Shadow Magnet]

Was there any official word from PGI if they intended to lower the average CBill/XP earning per match and force the players to change their play style, matching the new reward system?

[Livewyr]

As promised...




(And also, i did not think to scroll down the XP.. but that XP is not doubled.)

This is 4 matches after coming back from about a week of not playing much.

The only thing it has changed, which has made a crucial difference IMO, is that "deathballing" is no longer than only money maker. (Although you make more money while fighting alongside your lance.)


Used correctly, this new system can print cbills.

[Bigbacon]

only thing I got from this is playing a purely support role still doesn't pay off.


and if it wasn't for premium time I think I would be discouraged by the end results of most matches. Premium time is the only saving grace a lot of times.

But I don't have a problem with buying the time.

Here's another example, stormcrow again

Highest match score. Team victory. 3rd highest damage in the game. 2nd most assists, 3rd most kills. A distinctly average 163k.

This doesnt totally prove my point but it does prove that point that you have to work a lot harder now for less or equal reward.

Here's an example using my Tagging Spider 5V. It was a close match, but we lost.

The end-match results are low enough to discourage people from playing.

For a loss with 100 damage? Anyone with mechs could deathspam lights for assists and make a boatload REALLY fast.
