DUST Search - Does meta level increase isk gain?

THEAMAZING POTHEAD wrote:

isk is based on enemy gear destroyed, with multipliers of fractions on each dropsuit or installation or vehicle destroyed(the multipliers different for each, for example destroying a proto suit might net a 0.5x of its 200k worth while a 200k tank might net a 0.75x of its 200k for the team pot,nobody knows the exact multipliers though), with a flat rate of 200k for enough time spent in battle, multiplied by either a positive or negative number(negative as in 0.7 for example, not actually negative, like -0.7) based on how much of the enemy gear you destroyed compared to the team.
So gear destroyed is sent to a team pot, based on isk value, then based on your gear destroyed compared to the team it pays you out accordingly.

In not guilty, we once fought each other in a dom, with full proto the entire match, on bridge map.
Lotta protos died, i got first at 30 kills 3300wp, and got a payout of 1.25million isk.

However people can get close to 3million isk for a pub by being the only one on thier team yet destroying tons of enemy gear(usually by getting in a tank) and seizing the whole pot.

I remember reading it once (perhaps on a dev blog) can anyone remind me? Payout is partly based on the ISK value destroyed by your team, but because a lot of people run cheap gear the payout is generally low but I had games where my team lost and I got close to 400K and I wasn't the first on my side. It was just we killed many protosuits and vehicles.
Nirwanda Vaughns Death Firm. 522	Posted - 2014.04.08 13:11:00 - [7] - Quote payout is based on the mythical 'CCP Math' no one knows for sure how money is truly calculated any more. i've never noticed any difference in payout based on gear i've wore in a match. i've gone full proto and gotten around 300k in a domi and gotten the same runnin basic and blueprint stuff. the only real guarantee is based on performance. more wp you get more isk usually. i've had upto 650k in a domi one (just shy of 5k wp) Rolling with the punches

When they said 'fck payouts' in pubs, they went way to far. FW is automatically a loss (at best, at level 10, with a faction booster, a win nets you a little over 260,000 isk in LP form). Pubs are, on average, maybe 250k if its heavily infantry based, with vehicles being the only thing to bump up payouts, at least from what I've seen. They need to take a look at payouts for everything not PC for a healthy bump. *: This is assuming you buy only Proto suits with your LP, or proto weapons, as those purchases give you the greatest isk per LP available, while modules are basically a ripoff (netting you a little over 61k on average). xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own... So, other Logi's back off, those are my Warpoints!

This seems about right... I've had matches where I killed 52 people (a sizeable chunk in proto/adv gear) and then receive a 250,000 ISK payout... yet I've also spent a match with less than 10 kills, but spent all my time running about the map hacking and destroy vehicles and I got over 400,000 ISK... If I had the inclination and the time, I'd run lots of baseline tests like - not doing a single thing in a match (averaged over several matches) - Just hack stuff - Just destroy vehicles - Just destroy installations - Just destroy dropsuits - Just act as support as logistics with repair/nanohives/revives Eventually you'd be able to determine what variable affects the payout and by how much... and then you could modify your behaviour to match the variables. I think there's a video somewhere around here which showed a 1 mil ISK payout in a battle and the guy didn't do anything remarkable, he started off sniping, then moved on as logi, threw down some orbitals, shot a few people and hacked a point... and he had a 1 mil ISK payout.. it could have been a bug, but just goes to show how opaque the whole thing is...

Kigurosaka Laaksonen DUST University Ivy League 738	Posted - 2014.04.08 14:43:00 - [13] - Quote No. Meta level is only indicative of overall 'goodness' of a module. In general, and not necessarily in every aspect, a meta 5 module will be better than a meta 4 module. That's all 'meta level' is. EVE further uses meta levels to distinguish what type of module something is, and DUST does too. In EVE (because I know that of the top of my head)... Meta 0 > Regular T1 item Meta 1 - 4 > Named T1 item Meta 5 > T2 item Meta 6 > Storyline Item Meta 6 - 10 > Faction Items Meta 11-14 > Mix of Officer and Deadspace items Meta level is nothing more or less.

But I have found WP are the best way to go if you want big payouts. In dom, I was Mlt Rail tanking for my squad 3 games in a row and got 3500+ WP in those games. I ended up with 500k+ isk payouts.

Kage Roth Wolf-Monkey Bastards 121	Posted - 2014.04.08 17:07:00 - [15] - Quote As has been commented, remember it isn't the number of kills you get, it is the cost of what you destroy. If you are dominating a pub match against randoms in basic suits, it won't change your payout much. If your team is getting protostomped and you are still getting kills on said protos, then your payout dramatically increases.

Bradric Banewolf D3ATH CARD 175	Posted - 2014.05.25 18:35:00 - [19] - Quote I would actually like to know CCP's response to this? If I put in work i.e. Blew up three turrets, two tanks, 20 kills on the ground, hacked 4 points, 2 CRU's, and the supply depot 4 times. Why is my payout virtually the same as if I played an ambush against nyain san's A squad and went 4/11 w/ 225 warpoints? Skirmishs and doms, where you put in tons more effort, should also pay out more isk! Currently if I want to make money I have to go destroy my k/d in ambush with nyain san running frontline fits for an extended amount of time, while they race each other to the top of the leaderboard in triple repped blaster tanks smh?! This is indeed an issue?! How are the lower lvl players ever to make a profit, and be encouraged to fight hard with their best efforts and gear? "Anybody order chaos?"

Wrong wrong wrong...... LOL I have tested this MULTIPLE times. The ONLY thing that decides how much isk you get is WP. If you get 1st, you'll get the biggest peice of the pie. However if there are MULTIPLE high rollers at the top, your peice gets smaller. I usually pull 3500+ EVERY match. I can spam all my magical links/nanos and go fk around rest of match and still make 500k. If we are losing, ill slaughter 20-30 to help the wookies win.

If you and 3 other people all score 1500 points you will get significantly less than if you score 1000 and no one else goes over 500 and you have 5 people at the bottom with zero points.
