Well, that would explain the FRR offense initiative...

[Jman5]

I think you guys are being a little too conservative with these bonuses. +/- 25,000 cbills every 30-40 minutes isn't going to entice many people. And that's only if you win.

IMO bonuses should start in the +100,000 cbill range.

[Domenoth]

Is Marik really 62,500 and 65? Seems like it's breaking the pattern unless it's 65,000 and 65.

[HARDKOR]

You guys need to apply the bonus to the entire match. We get 300-2000 loyalty points from kills and other score items, so why would we care about getting 10-50 more points from the part you only get if you win?

Also, I get 73 points for a Marik win, so not sure where your numbers come from.

Contract duration bonus.

FRR forever! (Even better contract duration bonus for "forever" )

[HARDKOR]

Strange, I coulda sworn we only have a 1 week contract.

[Harathan]

I'm fascinated that the Davion numbers didn't change, considering the number of merc units that have left.

[Metafox]

I get the feeling that these reward adjustments are part of a Comstar conspiracy. Both Fedcom factions have taken more damage than any other faction. Not only has Comstar denied them aid, but Comstar has provided aid to every one of their surrounding enemies. It seems clear to me that this is all a Comstar plot to weaken the Federated Commonwealth.

Ha, I wouldn't go that far, but something certainly seems off with the numbers. Everyone knows Davion has lost a lot of players, whole units in fact, but the reward numbers haven't seen even a slight bump. Marik just got lumped with MercStar for heavens sake, if that doesn't give them more numbers than Davion right now, I'd be amazed. Either they're not filtering by active players, or... I dunno. They're basing on amount of territory lost as well?

Community Warfare needs more incentive... more rewards... until then most of my unit refuses to play it sadly. Please look into your rewards program for CW, Devs... it's easier to grind money in Public Queues than CW... and it's not only my unit experiencing this discomfort in CW, many units are.

I would think they based it on CW population. Otherwise Steiner has lost the most territory out of everyone, and they are not getting any bonuses. I can only imagine that Davion has a large number of units/pugs that are active on the Clan fronts and do not communicate with the major Dave units.

They are offering MC and Mechbays. You can't get that in the public queue.

You do realize JF is happily stomping their way through Steiner, which has, at any one time, 5-7 fronts to fight on and nowhere near the population to even defend all those worlds? Can we get an assist over here?

[Tank]

Don't need no C-Bills to fight for FRR, would not refuse for extra ale thou.

You do realize JF has 4 mainline 12 mans over 24 hours? Y'all have units the size of our entire touman.

Here are the current cumulative scores (planets gained/lost):
FWL CSJ CJF CGB CW CC FRR DC FS LC
+66 +62 +55 +42 +36 +16 -60 -61 -66 -90

Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth really have taken more damage than anyone else, and Comstar has granted reward bonuses to every single one of their opponents (with the exception of Ghost Bear who had to tunnel through other factions to reach them).

Apparently we have a large number of faction members.... the vast majority is just bad players i guess. We've been stomped on from the very start and not a lick of help has come our way. Probably wont be any help incoming anytime soon either

Maybe we could ask PGI to take the number of fronts into consideration instead of pure pop size? I am pretty sure they don't right now.

Pretty safe bet. Marik has been able to blow through a distracted Steiner and a depopulated Davion. Other than that, they have an alliance with Liao and Kurita. I'm not sure why Marik's reward is larger than Steiner's. FRR makes total sense.

And I've said this elsewhere, but JUST to defend our borders, none of which are friendly, we have to have a minimum of 48+ active players. Just to defend. And that's against a lone 12-person drop. Against 24-person, which is more common, or much larger, you obviously need even more.

Let's just go with the 24-person (so two companies attacking a system). To respond, Steiner would need 120 players active. Just defending. If we want to go on the offensive, we need double that number. I'm not sure what kind of numbers you think we have, Wingbreaker, but I've rarely seen more than 60 Steiners dropping at any one time.

Total.

That's why we've lost more worlds than any other power.

PGI
you really need to stop using faction bribery as a method of balance for community warfare. Balance the game by rewarding fidelity not by trying to bribe people to faction jump.
