I also will volunteer my stats. However, I also think we should know where the gains and losses have occured, i.e. lights make substantially more now compared to assaults/heavys. Also, I am running primarily medium lrm suppport before and after patch.

[StonedDead]

You may use my stats, the more you have the better picture you will get. My earnings seem to be down quite a bit. Though when I ran a Raven-3L with narc and tag they seemed a little better, though not better than before the patch.

Edit: spelling

I've been one of the alarmists, the first batch of matches I had after the patch were in the gutter. They have gone up since then but that is because I've been NARC and TAG farming, lighting them up merely for bonuses I'd get from their deaths rather than to assist breaking ECM, helping LRMs or any of the team based functions of that equipment. Even on my Heavies.

Oh, Assault Base Caps might need to be looked at in terms of rewards. The returns for going after the objective are rather punishing. Though this is a loss it is pretty much the same level of earnings if you flakn for a cap and they choose not to defend.

Hello, Raven pilot here. After last night I have to say that the new rewards help scouting lights and ECM lights HEAVILY. I played 10 drops last night with my unit and I am amazed at how good the rewards were. Keep in mind I was in my ECM Raven 3L with 3 Mlas and a narc and my unit had 2 LRM boats for every drop with some packing backup LRMs. Every match I got anywhere from 200k to the most I have ever got in a single game with 450k Cbils!!! I constantly did around 100-300 damage with no kills, but averaged 10-20 spotting assists and had HUGE narc bonuses and narc kills. Then I took out my Atlas and played it in a more supportive assault role, again averaged 200k around that mark so it is pretty good! when I went lone wolf and went on my own, I barely got any rewards except solo kills. It pays more to help your team and stay close to them, I have noticed. And if you have a narcing Raven, the pay is SOOOO good for a scouting light mech.

I want people to try running a narcing raven and just get the narcs off. No damage, no arties, Just UAVs and Narcs to give locks. You will be amazed by the Cbil winnings.

Replace one of the medium lasers with a TAG. It stacks with NARC, and effectively doubles the c-bill bonuses. That 3rd ML in the torso acts wacky anyway.

Man, you would've got more XP and $ just by suicide-diving into the enemy team. That's awful.

Hi Russ,

I would also like to say I'd like to volunteer for you to sample my stats on xp and c-bills, both pre and post patch. I usually use my TDR-5s(P) for earning c-bills due to the mech bonus it gives and it's just plain fun to run. I realize I'm not one of the more vocal forumnites that you see but hopeful that it will actually be more helpful to be able to pull stats from an average player that is playing the game just because it's fun to shoot big robots.

Thanks

Faison

I volunteer as Tribute....

And I actually enjoy the new rewards I think they are with in an acceptable margin.

[divinedisclaimer]

I'm loving it man. I play the lone wolf nonstop and often to my own detriment. When it fails, the c-bill score is low, but when I pull it off it's really rewarding. Also liking the formation thing, that's awesome for new players.

Only thing I think needs work is it sounds like the flanking system is too rudimentary and may be exploited.

[Shadowmantis]

if you still need more, then i volunteer as well

[Powerbomb256]

Feel free to pull my stats, I seem to make a lot more on wins now and almost nothing on a loss.

[f hof]

i'm volunteering as well.

Serves me right for falling back to try to defend the base, right? Explains why others haven't been.

[Vandomar]

Feel free to use my stats. Happy to contribute to SCIENCE!

[Kantos Kan]

You can use mine too!

[Bad Haircut]

I didn't get many games in last night but happy to be a test subject.

[Dino Might]

Russ,
Would be happy for you to use my stats if they'll help any. More data = more accuracy. Love that central limit theorem.

[Burktross]

I volunteer as tribute!

[Nemesis Duck]

Hey Russ,

Can you fix my girlfriend? She hates MWO.

I'll try to play more tonight and generate some data.

Thanks.

[Rhaegor]

Please, use my stats. I have some great games (like 3) and then a lot of really low games. =/
