Coming Economy Changes

[Holy Bahamut3]

Finally a Dev who gets it. We've been saying this from the very beginning. WOOHOO!

Rashere, please buff the cerberus & its turret. It desperately needs it.

Also, this is interesting. Will it only affect scrip or actual rewards you get? Guns etc.. and how about pvp & co-op rewards? Are they getting looked into too? Lots of questions I know. Sorry

Just currency rewards for events, currently, but it does free me up to be able to adjust other areas as well when I have the bandwidth.

Okay cool, thanks! Look forward to seeing some changes

Nope! Until I actually dig into it a bit and decide what needs to change, I can't confirm anything. But the goal would be to ensure skillful actions provide better rewards.

The fix would have to redefine what the Scoring System considers a skillful action. The current Teamwork payout is a prime suspect.

Thanks for the honest answer I hate it when people try to dodge around questions!!

Definitely in the good direction. Sounds like removing the majority of the spamcrap-items on the ground and replacing them by more meaningfull and exciting items for doing good in events. I like that it's going to be based on skill rather than dumb luck.

However i do share these worries pointed out by Ryker.

This sounds actually great.

Though I foresee a whole lot of people relying on BMGs and hatchlings/infectors during events to get their score boosted to the top, and we all know those weapons gives great score but doesn't add at all to the success on events. If they do it already for just a mere couple of arkforge imagine what can it be when it will determine who gets the good loot and who doesn't. :worried:

Sadly, skill is not the same as score (anymore). Not all weapons require skill to make a player score great, there is this danger people will abuse 'easy' weapons like Infectors. Crimefighters and BMG's to gain the good stuff. Weapons that dont add anything to successfully complete an event, or add anything at all for that matter (BMG's). We already have a great amount of players abusing these weapons for the Arkforge as Ryker pointed out. The last thing we need is Trion to encouradge more people abusing these weapons and scoring mechanics, decreasing chances for succesfull events even more.

I would really like skill being rewarded as skill. So using a Sniper really getting rewarded. Snipers are hard to use in Defiance where enemies overwhelm you on a regular base. In all honesty, who uses a sniper after the pursuits and skilllevels have been done? So if one has the couradge and the skill to use a Sniper, and manages to deal serious damage with it, it should really be rewarded with a good place on the leaderboards and matching rewards. One that uses a BMG, which requires no aiming and no skill at all, should never be on top of the leaderboards and never gain seriously good rewards.

If you hand out rewards by skill, it should be done on skill, not on score (until score and skill properly match).

Rash putting in the finest of work.

How about some bonus score for sniper rifle crits, they are extremely hard to pull off in group events with all the explosions, shaking and enemy twitching.
