Hello Community and Devs!

I had many Games yesterday and often i had 2 or more peple just sitting in the Base and also people commiting suicide in a light-Mech without armor to farm c-bills...

Now...how to get rid of these behaviours?

Well, pretty simple:
The problem is, that useful actions are not honored enough with c-bill-bonuses.

So: Don´t reward just beeing in the Game that much.
Instead of giving each player a fix amount of c-bills for a win/lose, reward usefull actions more than now.

An Idea how it could work: Link the XP-Bonus you get for example for assists/kills/spotting with the c-bills you get. May be about 250 times as much, means 250cb/XP.

Example: You get an kill-Assist and get 75XP for it. Normally you would gain also fixed 2000cb. With the new system you would get 75XP * 250cb/XP = 18750cb. Simple as that.
If you have eared 400XP in the hole Game (without premium or founder bonus), you will get 100000cb. If you win, your cb-bonus gets doubled.
Maybe there sould be a Maximum at about 500-600XP (300000cb in case of win), and a minimum if you did one useful action. Otherwise the system would frustrate the losing team.

This system rewards useful players and sanctions afk-ing, or suiciding, because this players wont get (much) XP (and as it follwos not much cb).

The figures are just example figures. Maybe others would make more sense.

A compromise between the actual system and this system would be also possible. Just decrease the amount on money for a win/lose and increase the cb-bonuses for actions (not fixed as now - instead linked to the XP they give) in the game.

I really think this would improve the game, and i hope you like the idea of this system.

Thanks for reading, and excuse my rather bad english :rolleyes:

sincere regards

Not seen many afk'ers. There's also the 4 fps bug. If that hits I just park on the base and sit it out. There's also a bunch of disconnects.

Ok, i got also many dc´s and the 4fps bug. But this is no excuse, because your team has a disadvantage. So in case of beeing afk or dc´d you should get only enough cb to repair the average mech (30-40k maybe). Feel free to leave the game and start a new one with an other mech, so you lose not much time, but also get not rewarded for it with many cb (as it is now).

Ive never seen a 4fps bug, and almost never get DC'ed (i think it happened once). I do see an afker every second game or so, and a suicider every half dozen games though. I play random pug exclusively though, so I dont know if that makes a difference.
