These are just minor questions:
1) Is there a point where the amount of cash you earn just takes a complete nose dive? I've been playing for at least a week and was making ~300,000 every game, win or loss. Now I'm at about 40,000 and it decreases by 10,000 with every game, win or loss. I've even gotten some kills and it still decreases. I've also been using a single mech this whole time, so I'm not sure if this is PGI's way of telling me "Hey...There are a ton of other trial mechs that you should try. So quit using a Royken."


2) Is there a way to check you game history? I'm pretty sure that I've gone past 25 games but still don't have access to the other forum. Resolved!!!

1) Depends on what you're doing. If you're not getting much damage, targets hit, etc. in your earnings are gonna plummet bad. What you do determines your earnings. Staying with the team, supporting your allies, dealing damage, hitting multiple enemies, holding TAG on the enemy, attaching NARC pods to them, taking off enemy limbs, things like that all give you money.

The Ryoken (Stormcrow) isn't very teamwork friendly. You're too fast to stay with the team, weapons of the trial don't lend themselves to extra earnings, and you're too much of a priority target to not get focus-fired.

2) Profile on the upper right of this page. Then "Stats."

At the top of the page is "PROFILE" click that and then click "STATS" and it will tell you various information. As far as the c-bills go, I believe new players get a bit of premium time as an added bonus. Once the honeymoon is over, so to speak, the c-bills come a lot harder, as you have found.

There are ways to supplement the c-bills such as take a TAG, get assists, spot for lrms, stay in formation, proper use of ECM, and many, many more.

Weird, because I've been hanging back with my teammates as much as possible ever since I started playing more actively. And the Royken is probably going to be my go to mech when I get 12 million. Maybe I'm just not shooting at enough people. I'll try again sometime today.

Also, forum thing has been resolved. I posted my first thread in the fanart section. We're good!

There's three conditions for the 'hanging with your teammates'.

One, are they the teal green color of your own lance? If yes, you get paid if all four members are close together.
Are they smaller than you? If yes, you get paid a little every so often.
Are they bigger than you? If yes you get paid a little every so often.
(If they're not bigger or smaller you get nothing).

Were you running premium time or did you just start playing the game? The first 25 matches you play you get a "cadet bonus" that starts really high and gradually goes down every match until your 26th where you no longer receive a bonus. A 300,000 average cbills per match seems really high unless you're running premium time with a cbill bonus mech or you are receiving the previously mentioned cadet bonus.

[AkoolPopTart]

No premium, I must've hit my 25th game a few nights ago when my money started to drop.

first 25 games you get "cadet bonus" achevements for each game, those achievements give you additional cbills, after 25 games you will have revived about 8 million + regular match earnings, usualy this will take you to between 9 and 12 million cbills to spend on your first Mech.

That happened to me. I couldn't figure out what went wrong. So, the question is, what do I do now?

[Vermaxx]

Buy premium time, or find a mech you're good with and grind the fk out of it.

In my humble opinion, premium time in this game is overpriced. Sales on hero mechs are a better deal.

[Rogue Jedi]

have you got your first Mech yet?

your earnings will go down to an average of about 100,000 per match, could be more could be less depending on how good you are at playing the rewards system.

you will want to keep learning, it is unlikely you have mastered every aspect of controlling Mechs yet so keep gaining experience.

Community Warfare could be worth trying but bear in mind it is hard mode, expect to end up against teams of veteran pilots who have coordinated their drop decks to get themselves the best possible advantage, only mode in CW at the moment is planetary invasion, each player takes 4 Mechs, the combined weight of the 4 must not be less than 160 tons and not more than 240.

if you attack a planet you will have to destroy various objectives inside the base to win, if you defend you have to prevent the destruction of those objectives, you could end up in a counter attack, in which the roles are reversed, those who chose attack will have to defend the base to win while those who chose defend have to destroy the attacker team and the base to win.

The usual advice is to plan your Mechs for CW and try to get them ready (all with the elite skills finished) before trying it.

Those Cadet Bonuses are the hook baby, get you addicted!
Spend that cash wisely, don't waste it on a crap line of mechs.
Get the Thunerbolt or a TimberWolf.
