Raven Kurotakai Knights Of Ender Public Disorder. 15	Posted - 2014.01.17 07:36:00 - [1] - Quote I took a break from DUST back in the summer and recently started back up. I have noticed though that I am making waaaay less ISK than I used to be. Back when I stopped, I could reliably pull in 200k-300k ISK in a match. Currently I'm very lucky to see 175k, much less 200k. Just curious if anyone knows the algorythem used to determine the amount of ISK made in a match. I know that WP, cost of enemy equipment destroyed, and time in battle are factors, but beyond that....I really just want to know why I'm not making money anymore. I fell almost like it has to do with me using higher end equipment or something now that pretty much everything I use is advanced level. My KDR has never been outstanding, but I'm playing better now than I was months ago and making less money. Any ideas?
PARKOUR PRACTIONER Redline Defense Force Seekers of the Unseen 340	Posted - 2014.01.17 08:05:00 - [2] - Quote The balance in this game is out the window. No concrete ideas, sorry bud. Dropship Surfer/Ninja Trust me, you don't WANT me to play COD multiplayer.
THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD Public Disorder. 454	Posted - 2014.01.17 08:11:00 - [3] - Quote Overall payouts got nerfed in 1.7 because of tanks. They cost less and die less. Instead of every tank on the field dying in three volleys of proto loooooolswarms they get two hit by railguns while costing 1/5th the amount of ISK. Probably something else changed too but this seems to make the most sense. Director of ZionTCD Amarr Logi \| Amarr Sentinel \| Amarr Scout (SoonGäó) Current weapon: Kaalakiota Rail Rifle
Supernus Gigas Star Giants 85	Posted - 2014.01.17 08:31:00 - [4] - Quote Just the other day I got an Isk payout of 606,000 Isk. It turns out(and I didn't even realize it for the entire match) that there were only like 6 people on my team, so the Isk payout was high for everyone that match. Still, a refreshing surprise from my usual ~200,000 to ~250,000 Isk I'm used to. My Missile Gunnlogi Eats Somas and Sicas for Breakfast.
Emerald Bellerophon Nenikekamen 87	Posted - 2014.01.17 08:58:00 - [5] - Quote Are you asking CCP for transparency? You're funny.
Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 530	Posted - 2014.01.17 09:13:00 - [6] - Quote Yep they lowered the base payout...that actually solved many of the problems like proto stomping (granted PC is still an Isk farm so it still lives). But noone knows the actually formula...You nailed the factors that we do know plus number of participants in battle seems to be another factor.
Raven Kurotakai Knights Of Ender Public Disorder. 15	Posted - 2014.01.17 15:44:00 - [7] - Quote Well that is sort of good to know I guess. Glad to know that I'm not just sucking at life compared to a few months ago XD I do wish they would post percentages or something at least so we have a general idea of where these amounts come from.
Kam Elto KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 174	Posted - 2014.01.17 16:32:00 - [8] - Quote Kills seem to generate more ISK than other activities. Don't have any proof though.

I would think that destroying vehicles would give major payouts. Spent one match killing 2 HAVs and 1 LAV....made around 140k ISK...I wasn't happy >.>
Borne Velvalor Endless Hatred 2160	Posted - 2014.01.17 22:00:00 - [10] - Quote Although I still get 300-400k and 500-600k payouts in full matches occasionally, they are much rarer than before. Tanks do not die very quickly and don't offer a higher payout than an ADV enemy if they are MLT. Most STD tanks only add as much as a proto infantry to the pot. Due to tank spam more and more players are running redline rails that almost never die (plus are worthless anyway), low level gear and BPOs. I still make the same in a heated match where both teams field high level gear and only a few tanks but most matches have 3-4 players not dieing in tanks on each side, half of each team in BPOs/STD and the rest in ADV/PRO mixes at best. Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn. Panda.

My KDR has never been outstanding, but I'm playing better now than I was months ago and making less money. Any ideas? ISK payouts are based primarily on your end of game WPs. It also takes into consideration the meta level of the gear being used in the match. More proto suits/weapons/equipment/modules the higher the end of game payout will be. As well as time spent in battle. Played a match today where I went 33/4 - 3190 WP - 698,000 ISK payout. Both teams were primarily in protogear. Played another match where I went 35/5 - 3210 WP - 436,000 ISK payout. Most players were in basic/militia gear. The "formula" was posted a while back by a Dev if I remember correctly. I'm too lazy to search around and find it. I'm sure its still there somewhere though.
The Infected One Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 591	Posted - 2014.01.17 22:04:00 - [12] - Quote While they did reduce the ISK payout per game, if you come in in the top 5 you should still see a fairly decent number. Wrapoints also come into play, one of our logies Orion Sanjeet made close to a million one game (Not PC) for having over 5000 wp. He was deaths over kills by a long shot, I think he might have only gotten 1 kill in 5 deaths or something, but he was stuck to a heavies ass for the whole game, throwing hives, and links, while repping as much as possible. I know we earned 7 OB that game. As far as we figure its: ISK PAYOUT = total value of equipment destroyed + (Place on the leader board at the end) war points + time spent in battle. CLEAR THE AREA BEFORE GOING FOR THE REVIVE!
