I saw this online some place and it is TRUE....

Players get free REPAIRS and AMMO..How.............. they run a LRM boat and thenafter the game in the MEK LAB they do not put in any AMMO knowing the game will give you %75 at launch.
So a player can use Artimeis LRM's wich can cost up to 70-80K per round to restock and get them for FREE....players add a few extra tons of ammo inthe build knowing thay will never use the max amount.
So when %75 is loaded for FREE they are at normal useage..


So players are gaining an EXTRA 70K per GAME......

FIX it ! ! !

thats.... intended?

because they realize no one will run missiles without 75% free...

[Irreverence]

Working as intended.

[AP514]

thats so much bull....it is a CHEAT

[Comassion]

Why not reduce the cost of ammo by 75% and make you pay for it all the time?

[Taryys]

True. People are abusing the system.
It needs to be changed so that they only get the 75% when you pay for the repairs.
They also need to get the % dmg on items added into the game too .

It's not a "cheat" if it's the way they chose to design the game. This is "working as intended".

Nothing to see here.

I did. When I ran a LRM cat I always paid my R/R. The free 75% R/R is stupid.

It is not a cheat by any possible definition.

Because their R&R and Rewards systems are just badly designed!

"...when you *don't* pay for restocking ammunition" you mean?

NOPE ! ! !

CW and all the bells and whistles that go with it aren't implemented yet. This "free" repair/rearm is a temporary measure until the WHOLE economy is in place.

Working as intended indeed.

[Captain Midnight]

It's the worst game design I've seen since I played an SOE game, though it's not a cheat.

[beniliusbob]

Also, apparently if you repair individual body parts instead of your whole mech, it is free.

I have not verified this because I'm lazy and I just R&R everything automatically.

[BFalcon]

true - needs to be sorted tbh... not least, the ammo costs are there, supposedly, to stop people tanking up on ammo just to be able to spam missiles or shots each battle...

Best fix: Half ammo costs and make it 100% purchasing for ammo (and I use ammo weapons too)... and then adjust the cash income to compensate to a reasonable level (+100k should suffice). If people are using more ammo than this, then they need to look again at their ammo useage.

[AP514]

well then im going LRM BOATING

[Child3k]

As long as there's no complete overhaul of the whole reward-system, it is good as it is. As a non-premium player you wouldn't be able to field and maintain a more advanced mech without the free rearm. So - if PGI would eliminate the free rearm from the game, the whole thing would - to a certain extent - become p2w (as much as I hate that term) because only premium-player would be able to field superior tech.

Ah yeah - forgot the CW stuff will increase the income. Perhaps add a 100k bonus as a temporary fix?

[AP514]

TOTALLY untrue...I feild MEKS and do not have my PREM account active...I still make alot of MONEY and pay for all repairs/rearm

you got to be a total NOOB not to mke money in this game

[Irreverence]

Anyone here try to rearm/repair an Atlas D-DC after a loss? You actually go negative.. I'm sure the same can be said for missile boats. If you have a premium bonus it's bearable, but not in the other case. If they do remove the 75% rearm, they need to fix something else.
