This hot-fix will also include the removal of rewards which were incorrectly delivered in yesterday's patch.

What were "the rewards which were incorrectly delivered in yesterday's patch"?

To be frank, and speaking as a $1000+ playing customer, I want reassurance that, in addition to the positive increases you listed, there's not some kind of massive offsetting nerf which will overall result in CBills staying at their reduced level.

Please read the topic or at least some of the posts first.... It has already been stated that the rewards that they retracted were the reward Atlas and Centurion which some people got without meeting the criteria.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

The OP doesn't state what rewards were retracted. But you are correct that I didn't read the subsequent 5 pages looking for the answer.

so Kills are worth 4000, Kill damage is worth 5000, Solo kill(needing both previous) is worth 10000,
is this working as intended, or is it supposed to not give you all 3 only the last if conditions are met?

my Question is is Solo kill supposed to replace the Kill and kill damage?
as both together are worth 9000, and Solo kill is worth 10000, all 3 together seem way like too much,
as it sits assist is worth 2500-3500, and a solo kill is worth 19000, this is encouraging kill stealing,

===Could a DEV Comment on this please?===

Edit- Question

You can't steal a solo kill... the whole point is you have to do most damage, and get last hit. stealing implies getting last hit when someone else did the damage.

The last hit is the only bit you can 'steal'

Please return salvage.

I'm glad our opinions as players were taken into consideration with this patch realy like it

On a side note, i don't exactly know how the current ECM bonus works but in my opinion there should be a little bonus needed to encourage those who have it to shield their teammates from LRMs

More than once i have dropped in solo queue to find myself as the only person with an ECM equipped and even more times i have seen those other ecm-lights just simply disregard friendlies to scout and let them be devoured by enemy fire
I think some kind of "break lock" bonus for masking friendly units when they are under fire might encourage team behaviour

A loss.





A victory







No premium just the 30% cbill as this was with the new AS7-S in the loss and I think I was using a newly acquired SCR in the last SS.

I found that if I played a little differently than I normally do and tweaked my build just a bit I could start raking in the rewards. Also these were pug drops from today.

just wondering,what type of match is the second one. the top one is cap right.. i heard cap mode have bigger incentive now

So what was delivered wrong... and worse.... in most respects you guys screwed up and gave people stuff and now you want to take it back???? REALLY?

Now that is a huge **** up and making it worse by taking anything back. I would be ticked off. What was given out by mistake?

The incorrect delivery happened. Given people are opening up their wallet and asked for a new IS pack just to be eligable for this, it's disrespectful to them to let others get them for free. They're at least warning folks now, and these players, if they gut them before they're removed, still get a ton of bonus CBills/gear.

Yea, I saw the same thing yesterday in my games with the new reward system. Conquest was still generating 200k + Cbills for me in decent matches... Skirmish was way down... very good game by my standards got me 108k Cbills.

Extension?

The reward deadline for the Atlas was originally set for Oct 20th. If you hadn't purchased a pre-order pack before Oct 20th, then you weren't eligible for the AS7-S.

When the Inner Sphere Resistance pack was released this week, the deadline was extended until Nov 4th. The reasoning behind this was to allow Inner Sphere loyalists who missed out on Founders and Phoenix packages, to get in on the reward. Sure, they could purchase a Clan pack and get the reward, but IS Loyalists like myself "don't need no stinking Clan mechs". So we if we weren't around when the Founders and Phoenix packs were released, we were left out in the cold on the AS7-S reward.

So, PGI created this resistance pack and extended the reward for those that didn't want to purchase a clan pack. This also allows for the IS loyalists to receive the King Crab reward with the purchase of a Wrath pack.

The new rewards system is good...but there is one flaw that i see. It seems that i get less XP per match than usual. even during a normal match i would only get around 400-500 xp. that is too low?

maybe you could also add more XP rewards for the 'protections' rewards?

Yeah, after playing a bit more, XP has been nerfed pretty hard. Mech wise, it means a little more grinding to basic out a mech, which I don't think hurts, but GXP wise, it will make it crawl

They probably need to raise XP overall up by 25%. It's just plain low.

You guys both realize it hasn't been applied yet?

[AlbertoT16]

Great!

[Archon]

This sounds great! I was really frustrated with the discrepancy I was seeing in earnings. I will say however that the salvage bonus needs to be restored.

I don't think they can remove rewards given, if it was there fault people have now used it and should just keep it.

You gave it away so let hem keep it.
It's there property now!

If they leave them, folks who didn't get it will complain, and folks who paid for them will be upset that they may not have had to pay for them.

It's free CBills for those folks though if they strip and sell the gear.

Good fix - I need more C-bills...

Good step in the right direction! But a little more change needed....

Get rid of Hit and Run. This only encourages people to stop shooting!

Why would you get rid of this feature? Mediums and certain Heavies thrive on this tactic. It is what they are designed for. This kind of reward encourages role warfare and the use of these mechs. It might alleviate the 40% Heavy or 50% Assault cue lines.
