Alright, I appreciate making it more 'active participation' instead of 'sit on your collective @$$es', or 'farm like a boss', but this is what it was before:
75k loss
0k tie
100k win
(plus salvage and bonuses, if applicable)
Now, considering that I won more often than I lost, I was almost always getting at least 200k CB per match, with founders & premium time. Usually upwards of 250k. A few times I topped 300k, but that was very rare, and only just over. I've never gotten more than 310k. And yes, I did auto-repair. I didn't have auto-rearm turned on though, because I sometimes used missile mechs. Rarely, but if I forgot to turn it of, I could end up taking a hit of up to 90k. I don't like losing that much if I forget something, so I turned it off.
This is what it is now:
25k win
25k tie
25k loss
(plus salvage and bonuses, if applicable)
The tie thing is fine. Earning 0 for a tie before sucked. (Even though I've only had 3 ties since I started playing)
But 25k for a win or loss?
I have yet to get more than 225k in a single match. I almost never get more than 200k. This is including founders and premium.
There's something wrong here.
Here's a better idea:
25k for a win, plus 10k per enemy mech destroyed. (to the whole team, not the individual players who kill mechs.)
25k for a loss, plus 8k per enemy mech destroyed. (to the whole team, not the individual players who kill mechs.)
On a win by cap-race, with no kills per team, both teams get 25k.
On a win by cap after 4 kills each, the winning team gets 65k, and the losing team gets 57k.
On a win by destroying mechs, these are the best-case, and worst-case scenarios for the losing team:
Best case for losing team:
Winning team: 8 enemies killed -- 25k + 8*10k = 105k
Losing team: 7 enemies killed -- 25k + 7*8k = 81k
Worst case for losing team:
Winning team: 8 enemies killed -- 25k + 8*10k = 105k
Losing team: 0 enemies killed (you were owned) -- 25k + 0*8k = 25k
THAT rewards effort, and it makes games last longer. It promotes strategy. Who wants to win by a cap-race if they're only getting 25k? (in addition to the bonuses for capping being removed.) Nobody.
On the other hand, people will tend to want to keep trying to destroy the enemy mechs to get more credits.
And yes, I know PGI said they're just testing these values, and that they aren't set in stone. I'm giving them some feedback.
