I was reading the lengthy post about LPs in CW and realized I had no idea what they might actually do.

So what do loyalty points do for me?

Could someone point me at that explanation? (Or just tell me)

Thanks!

From the new info, basically what I took from it was faction levels.

Loyalty points are basically xp for a faction that will unlock ranks (private, corporal, etc) and possibly some camos or other visual stuff. As you raise your LP in one faction another will go down. So getting LP for Davion will likely lower Capellan LP.

So yeah, Faction levels with the possibility of some cool fluff as you rank up is my understanding of it thus far.

so basically nothing. What they did not say was if you also earn CB or if CW only pays LP which would make it really sad.

They did say in the Sep 24th CW update that premium time would affect xp and C Bills in CW the same way it does in public matches. That implies you'll get C Bills, but I'm not sure if they've explicitly stated you will. I think most of the coverage of the LP system has just been to explain how the new mechanic works rather than saying its the only reward in CW.

They are planning to balance cbill earnings to equal those from solo/group queue. LP will unlock titles and maybe other fluff for a start.

Also keep in mind this will be CW Phase2 without economy, so LP, CBills and XP will be your earnings, but you will not have to repair or any other cost for now.

Maybe in the next phase, the economy will link prices, repairs and available goodies to your LP rank per house/faction.
But for now, we have to wait :)

Sounds about right all. Thanks for replying.

I just had to ask after reading the lengthy post about contract lengths and LP bonuses or whatever.

I thought I missed the cool rewards for Loyalty Points somewhere.. Guess not! =)

I just espaced from the PGI offices with the super secret list of Loyalty Bonus items. This is a tiered system of ever increasing loyalty rewards that you purchase with your LP. They get progressively more expensive as you go down the list.

Here they are, starting at the bottom:
  • New paint scheme for your mechwarrior's headrest
  • towel boy
  • towel girl
  • 3 ceramic jars (placed on cockpit floor **)
  • air conditioning in your mech hanger
  • paint for the hanger building exterior (not rendered in game)
  • titles
  • captions
  • subtitles
  • innuendo
  • pimp cane
  • hot mech mechanic poster
  • subscription to ComStar Week In Review
  • in game plush loyalty pillow
  • free dry cleaning for your mechwarrior suit
  • a day with Paul Inouye
  • functioning cockpit MFDs (out of field of view)
  • polished faction banner stand (DX11 required)
  • ten minutes with Russ Bullock
  • Voltron


** Put in them whatever you want, but if you know me I suggest cow's urine and a single peanut in each. Scoff not: this stuff fetches a FORTUNE on Laio Prime. How you procure this is up to you...
