not sure how one loses all their darn isk in battles unless you're running a lot of proto stuff. Running in Militia all the way to Advanced gear has always been enough for me.

it sucks i just hate being broke lol which logi cause i seem to do fine with standard min+CR+adv equipment (like 16-20k per load) or gal logi+BAR+advanced equipment (like 18-21k) so with average payout for some effort being like 200k thats 10 deaths you can get before you go into the red.

Wait... I can run std/adv fittings and turn a small profit every match. I can run 'Quafe'/std fittings and turn a large profit every match.
Keep in mind, I suck at Dust 514.
You are significantly more skilled than I am, and you... can't turn a profit?
Either you are trolling us or you are asking for increased payouts so you never have to run anything non-proto.

I play Dust 514, because the economy of the game...
All of us, are MERCENARIES, so we fight for money, but if you need invest more ISK in your fits that ISK Paid as reward ... you are a BAD PLAYER.
Many Aurum-proto fits are more OP that a ISK fit... (CCP bussines). but you can run a cheap-funtional fit, make some millions and run Proto fits only in BC's

it sucks i just hate being broke TTK has sped up a lot recently, partly from guns getting buffed, partly from the improved frame rate, and all the kills scouts have added to the game since 1.8 has never been accounted for. Rattati needs to look at the numbers because it's nigh impossible without having a good thing going in PC (too much trouble!) to make a profit. That smacks of faulty design to me and needs to be looked at. |

isk payout for people ranking under top three need to be increased dramatically, think of the newberries! die 10 + times a match to make under 100k isk minimum payout for participating in a full match should be 100k no matter if you rank 1st or 16th
back to simple clone math 150 clones (basic suit cost 5-20k isk advanced35- 100k+ proto $$$)
so go max per tier
basic suits in domination or skirmish
150 x 20 000 (isk/suit) = 3 000 000 (high cost for 150 clones to enter battle) / 16(players/match) 187 500 per player average if cloned.
advanced suits in domination or skirmish
150x 100 000 (isk per suit) = 15 000 000 (high cost for 150 clones to enter battle) / 16 (players/match) 937500 per player average if cloned.
look at those numbers does anyone get anywhere near those payouts no, should they no, but you should be able to profit in 16th place running advanced gear. the profit should be minimal but the cost of clones per player should be a base start for the payout to the team.(esspecially for the victor) more clones left at the end of battle more profit for the whole team.
isk payout is bs why come to a fight for less than 100 k my time is worth that
crunch some numbers and find the average cost of an advanced suit with advanced modules and use that average against 150 clones and come up with a better base payout when entering a match thank-you

I am rather surprised you're broke, Saxon, but perhaps running something other than proto suits and proto weapons is in your future.
Makes it a bit harder to have 30+, 40+ or 50+ kill games, but you'll certainly make more ISK.
Personally, I have two cheap fits I run when I'm running a bit low on funds -- a dual ScP advanced cal scout, and a BPO Dren Heavy w/advanced HMG. Both are very isk-efficient (around 30k), still let me get plenty of kills, and are loads of fun to play. |

It's called being the only mother jammer on your team trying to win. Running below adv in that situation mostly means you're just making your teams clone count go down faster. Sure you could still make a profit running free suits but all you're doing is making your team lose faster trying to take on over half the enemy team by yourself every time you spawn in; it's like breaking your leg with a sledge hammer, that sh!t just ain't fun.

I have a fully blueprint logi suit, I can run 3 of 4 matches in it and be fine. Problem is, then if I pull out the proto, or even some adv scout/commando, all that isk is gone. The proto can wipe out 4 or 5 matches worth of isk in 3 deaths.
Logis, in general, get shafted. We're slow, low ehp, and our role bonuses aren't that great (imo). I understand my role (Ive been playing it for 2+ years) but come on, 286K for a proto logi? And I might get 300K in a match? One loss and I'm even, 2 and I'm deep in the red. I might as well fly an DS, costs less and I have better survivability. If I get someone in the door, I can kill better too.

I have multiple cheaper variations of my fit which I use based on how the match is going. First, I limit myself to 200K (the standard payout). I never start a match wearing Proto. Normally, I'll first deploy in a 50K-ish ADV fit. I'll use this fit (or a fit of similar value) up to about my third death, after which I will use a 25K fit. If I'm getting totally stomped and going 8+ deaths, I'll either not deploy, or just use a starter fit. I only really like using Proto if I know we're gonna win, and I'm unlikely to die. Using this method, I pretty much never go ISK-negative. I'm currently sitting on approx 140 mil, after restocking all my fits to 200.
ISK is easy, SP is the tricky thing!

Running proto will destroy your isk wallet, ADV will keep you fighting for the next paycheck, and basic will help you ge money quick.
During the sidearm event I got a million isk from a basic Min Scout with mlt knives and mlt bolt pistol. Everything else was complex.

I agree, logis are the toughest of the roles to make money on at proto level due to the increases costs. TBH, the only time I run them now is in PC or if our squad is really hurting for one.
Proto logis are also, however, WP machines -- and this is also true in the case of standard and advanced versions.
I think the fix is to increase payouts for people towards the top end of the board, and stop rewarding as much ISK for people at the bottom.
This would also, hopefully, reward people actually trying in the game rather than just redline sniping (and other low risk activities) to avoid ISK losses. |

Sorry, Sax, but I'm gonna have to go with the ones saying you're trolling. The way you play, I just can't see you going Isk negative unless you continued to run full proto. I can't even call myself a slayer, but the only way I can go negative in a match is if I'm screwing around (AKA: Having fun punching everyone) or trying to enact a vendetta on a tank or rooftop camper. You should have billions with your KD/R.

I don't think he is trolling.
First off, it's not his style. Second, even with a proto KDR of 6, when you're getting 20 or 30 or more kills per match, your losses overcome your winnings.

The Risk/Reward paradigm is very similar to Eve and designed to encourage a similar investment plan.
Without getting into too much granularity, consider: rock (tank) - paper (ewar) - scissors (firepower).
Basic: Pick 1 advantage - 10k+/suits Advanced: Pick 2 advantages - 40k+/suits Prototype: Pick 3 advantages - 120k+/suits
You pay to carry the variety, even if you don't get to use it. By increasing the payout you affect 2 key gameplay issues: people should protect the suits they wear (benefits strategy and meaningful play) and increase the chance of the runaway-victor. Both hurt the game in the long term.
I run a basic scout almost exclusively, and every time I assassinate a squad leader wearing prototype gear... I know that I have tipped the balance of power substantially, and probably cost that player the profit of their entire match. That meaningful interaction is the reason that thoughtful people play, and invest, in this game.
I too want to run more prototype, but proto-saturation removes consequences from the ecosystem; and that is worthy of heavy consideration before any decisions are made.

Another comment I want to make in regards to ISK is that with the "team balancing" They've done I've noticed less of a gap between a teams top WP earners and the rest of the team which ultimately results in lower payouts. Thus those that don't have a large stockpile of ISK already, run out faster when they're trying to win.

I personally find it difficult to stay ISK positive running ADV 24/7. Like, I only make a profit if the battle is in my favor. Dying 4-6 times puts me right next to the red, depending on how much I accomplished. I know what the deal is, "don't use what you don't want to lose". But I have a hard time being effective in STD gear, especially when I'm carrying the team. (Which happens a little too often)
Verdict: Playing solo is difficult for being profitable. Lots of veterans are sitting on mountains of ISK simply because they always have someone competent watching their back and reducing losses. I suppose I should find a decent corp.

My secret: drop uplinks at the begining, If the're gone, drope some again, don't go full logi, just add a nanoinyector, or a repair tool to your scout; do some teamwork, this Hotfix is made for logi's but, you do'nt need to be a logi, stop the slayery, just try to win by CMM not by clones... And... buy a veteran/elite pack: lots and lots of free - isk stuff
By the way I am starting a head hunter campaing, If we find a proto suit with proto waepon's, I give some isk to the member of my squad who take him down.

I agree, logis are the toughest of the roles to make money on at proto level due to the increases costs. TBH, the only time I run them now is in PC or if our squad is really hurting for one.

We did take a bit of a nerf to WP with the needle changes. If I'm running solo, those people that I could successfully pick up before now don't know I'm actually not a scrub and won't hit the revive button. I understand (somewhat) the need for the change, but still.
As for being a WP Machine, If that translated into a higher isk payout, I'd be all for it. However, in most cases now, I can get a higher return on investment as a adv scout set for hacking and coming in third than I can as a proto logi coming in first. Personally, I don't think that's right. |

You run the most expensive fits and here your complaining. Personally, I do equally well when I run adv. or proto, So run adv gear next time.

Dude, what? I run basic with a couple enhanced mods 99% of the time and it's easy to make 150k+ profit a match, regardless of outcome and my score. With your skill, you should be banking like crazy.

150k isn't that much. I usually make 400,000 per domination, and I still can't afford proto.

Collect donations for your videos (which I really like by the way)?
There were some epic battles when the payouts were bugged to allow people to run proto all the time.
I have a couple of 5k isk or less suits that work OK for making isk. I usually run solo, so I haven't really tried the logi thing. I'd expect a rep tool on a precision scout following a hmg might work in some places.
The militia cal heavy has a fast regen time, but is slow. Pairing with a std version of a weapon you're skilled into can work. Also swarms with light dmg mods can get good WP blasting vehicles near the edge of battles, just don't worry about destroying them. You get more wp if they come back.
There are a couple of rail turrets that are near the redline but have good view for shooting down the drop ships headed to the roof. The rail turrets overlooking the bridge also are good for killing vehicles.
A militia light or std scout suit running precision can pick off poorly damped cloakers, but watch for the assault trolls (ttk on std weapons is longer) and fully dampened scouts. Militia shotgun is actually effective and cheap.
Place uplinks, particularly if you're the only one. It can help put the blueberries where you want them too.
I expect with your mu you probably have a stacked fight against you many times. You could try squadding with newer low mu players to see if you get easier fights. You may have to let someone else carry the fight when running cheap gear, depends a bit on how much you care about winning and kdr versus making isk. I'm just starting to come up to even (sometimes) on my kdr, but always go isk positive and always have fun! |

Makes it a bit harder to have 30+, 40+ or 50+ kill games, but you'll certainly make more ISK.
Personally, I have two cheap fits I run when I'm running a bit low on funds -- a dual ScP advanced cal scout, and a BPO Dren Heavy w/advanced HMG. Both are very isk-efficient (around 30k), still let me get plenty of kills, and are loads of fun to play. I have a fully blueprint logi suit, I can run 3 of 4 matches in it and be fine. Problem is, then if I pull out the proto, or even some adv scout/commando, all that isk is gone. The proto can wipe out 4 or 5 matches worth of isk in 3 deaths. Logis, in general, get shafted. We're slow, low ehp, and our role bonuses aren't that great (imo). I understand my role (Ive been playing it for 2+ years) but come on, 286K for a proto logi? And I might get 300K in a match?

However, in most cases now, I can get a higher return on investment as a adv scout set for hacking and coming in third than I can as a proto logi coming in first. Personally, I don't think that's right.
That's essentially what I'm saying -- that we increase payouts with higher WP players getting more of a share.
While I'm not sure I disagree about it being fair, I will point out that the weakness in ISK effectiveness is balanced with an increase in SP which makes the weekly grind take far less time -- so it's not without benefit.
The underlying point -- we need to incentivize people trying rather than ISK farming. We should REWARD behaviors that lead towards exciting gameplay. Otherwise we bolster the reasons to redline snipe, AFK farm, or just not really try to win.
Because, TBH, I think someone like Saxon who goes proto and pulls a 50-4 round should actually make ISK and the redline sniper who went 2:1 with 100wp should break even.
SP is another story, but ISK payouts as they stand today, IMO, reinforce bad in-game behavior.
That said, this clone brings up a superb point and we need to be wary of overly reducing consequences and as a result breaking the game:
Mahal Daj wrote:The Risk/Reward paradigm is very similar to Eve and designed to encourage a similar investment plan.
Without getting into too much granularity, consider: rock (tank) - paper (ewar) - scissors (firepower).
Basic: Pick 1 advantage - 10k+/suits Advanced: Pick 2 advantages - 40k+/suits Prototype: Pick 3 advantages - 120k+/suits
You pay to carry the variety, even if you don't get to use it. By increasing the payout you affect 2 key gameplay issues: people should protect the suits they wear (benefits strategy and meaningful play) and increase the chance of the runaway-victor. Both hurt the game in the long term.
I run a basic scout almost exclusively, and every time I assassinate a squad leader wearing prototype gear... I know that I have tipped the balance of power substantially, and probably cost that player the profit of their entire match. That meaningful interaction is the reason that thoughtful people play, and invest, in this game.
I too want to run more prototype, but proto-saturation removes consequences from the ecosystem; and that is worthy of heavy consideration before any decisions are made.

Either you are trolling us or you are asking for increased payouts so you never have to run anything non-proto. Idk mang, I'm awful at dust too, and I start losing money as soon as I step our of my militia suits. |

You wanna be rich in this game? You have to play a role that has less risk, and have a ton of patience. Tanking rail dancing in and out of the redline, sniping, or simply go afk in ambush?! Yeah it sucks, and you can't actually care about winning battles, but you get paid.
You could also make bs corps repeatedly, and runoff with the tax isk.... but that's pretty shady?!
You actually care about winning battles like me so you put good effort forth to do so. Meaning you get kills, get killed, and push the objectives. The way payouts work you won't make any money. They don't vary enough. The sniper with three kills makes almost the same as the assault with 20. The assault will break even, and the sniper makes about 150k after cost.
It definitely needs to be looked at because currently running proto is economic suicide?!

Trying to win in a situation like that rarely involves 1v1 encounters and you aren't going to accomplish sh!t in less than adv gear unless you're hacking undefended or lightly defended objective, but that's not trying to win, that just farming WP's for a better payout.

You are significantly more skilled than I am, and you... can't turn a profit?
Either you are trolling us or you are asking for increased payouts so you never have to run anything non-proto. Ya he's either trolling or forgot how to survive in anything less than a proto suit just like all those that only run proto suits now.

I don't get it. I run mostly advanced suits, advanced+std weapons, complex modules and equipment as CPU and PG allows. Also, mostly very low HP scout suits that die in an instant. I'm not even skilled into armor plates and only up to ADV level in shield extenders.
I can die 5 times a game, which I think is more times than I average, and still generally turn a small profit. Add in the daily mission ISK, and I usually see my wallet increase a million or two each time I play for two and a half hours or more. |

I'm a terrible player and I make a profit just fine even with my HAV/Proto addiciton (I drive boom maddies and run proto calscouts with PLCs).
I'd suggest finding a playstyle that reaps in rewards for low risk, for me a basic CalAss with ADV RR usually rakes in the money, as it can usually whittle people down at range and duck to cover easily, then again I mainly play Skirmish with a side of Dom, so your mileage may vary substantially with different gamemodes.
Stop dying and being so scrubby!

My Templar heavy has a normal HMG, Toxin BPO, 3 Militia BPO Armor and Flux grenade = Total of around 2,000 isk.

You don't need Proto to counter proto if you're legit, or smart. It's a surefire way to burn ISK.

Just play a couple of Eco Rounds every so often. Basically a round where you use you cheapest content options and rather than to win your goal is to tally up as much damage to your opponents economy as possible. One Protosuit for your Standard BPO is a major victory as long as you cost them their suit and weapons.
....basically Catmerc introduced my to CS:GO and the concept of the Eco Round is wonderful. You don't have to win, you don't even have to do well. But the knowledge that each kill/frag/whatever is doing damage to your opponents capacity to function in future rounds makes it worth it.
Just apply those tenets to Dust.
E.G- A Good Eco Round fit would be
Laser Rifle Bolt Pistol Sleek Flux Grenades
You can keep out of the meat grinder and inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy team without risking yourself.

It's all about what you do in the battlefield at the right time and how you play. Advanced is/was (since I don't play anymore) my limit and what I mostly stuck to. I could hardly stomp since I always played in Minmatar Suits, even the heavy suits were pretty weak for being a heavy but I eventually adapted to the suit and learned how to use it sort of as a fast assault suit with an HMG with the help from some people from the forums.

Save the STD or ADV for pubs.
Oh, I forgot that applicants need a +2.0kdr, thus where your Corp focus lies. Pretty sure you guys could squad pub stomp in MLT gear if you chose to which would lead to a slight increase in challenge (maybe) and far greater profits.
It would be interesting how many elite players played in a STD/MLT only mode.

Well...for the challenge? If you can do well in lower tier gear, then surely it's a better high skill indicator than if you need proto to do well.
Also, proto skills on a suit gets you a better bonus on lower tier suit. |

Makes it a bit harder to have 30+, 40+ or 50+ kill games, but you'll certainly make more ISK.
Personally, I have two cheap fits I run when I'm running a bit low on funds -- a dual ScP advanced cal scout, and a BPO Dren Heavy w/advanced HMG. Both are very isk-efficient (around 30k), still let me get plenty of kills, and are loads of fun to play.
I though i was alone on the dual BSCP scout.

What the hell is wrong with you guys? I'm not good at this game, I run full proto minlogi/min commando/cal commando/cal logi and still can make profit. I play solo so there is no one to save my yellow a&&. Ofcourse I use my BPO scout to RE your face up, but still. I have played 1 PC when I was in TUL (and lost ofcourse) so all of my 102m ISK is grinded in pubs.

The Problem is with the Pay out system. You should get rewarded for what you kill and what you do.
With such a system, people can run pure BPO fits, kill Proto Suits, and turn a nice profit.
EVEN BETTER, The poor sub-20 million SP new players can turn huge profit be getting lucky and killing Proto Gear with their starter fits. |

Yeah yeah....you are really good and all other players are bad. Learn to participate in standard fits and you won-¦t need that much isk.

If you use basic (or even advanced) you should be swimming in ISK. It is really easy to stay profitable and keep that ISK balance going up if you stick to a mixture of basic and advanced.
You're just addicted to proto. Although, that does help you get high scores and make fun videos I guess.

So in real life, if you were to, oh I don't know, sell paintings that you created, would you use the best paint available or the best brushes, even if you knew doing so could very well make you broke? Now, it's not the same thing, I know, since it is a game. But it is the same moral point. yea i would, if i was going to do something like try and sell a painting i would put all my effort into it to ensure the best price. any other wierd questions? and you just said it, 'its a game' so why should we have to feel like we are at work while we play it by saving up money for good luxury items lol Just play a couple of Eco Rounds every so often. Basically a round where you use you cheapest content options and rather than to win your goal is to tally up as much damage to your opponents economy as possible. One Protosuit for your Standard BPO is a major victory as long as you cost them their suit and weapons. ....basically Catmerc introduced my to CS:GO and the concept of the Eco Round is wonderful. You don't have to win, you don't even have to do well. But the knowledge that each kill/frag/whatever is doing damage to your opponents capacity to function in future rounds makes it worth it. Just apply those tenets to Dust. E.G- A Good Eco Round fit would be Laser Rifle Bolt Pistol Sleek Flux Grenades You can keep out of the meat grinder and inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy team without risking yourself.
There are sleek flux nades?

Oh, I forgot that applicants need a +2.0kdr, thus where your Corp focus lies. Pretty sure you guys could squad pub stomp in MLT gear if you chose to which would lead to a slight increase in challenge (maybe) and far greater profits.

Mahal Daj wrote:The Risk/Reward paradigm is very similar to Eve and designed to encourage a similar investment plan.
Without getting into too much granularity, consider: rock (tank) - paper (ewar) - scissors (firepower).
Basic: Pick 1 advantage - 10k+/suits Advanced: Pick 2 advantages - 40k+/suits Prototype: Pick 3 advantages - 120k+/suits
You pay to carry the variety, even if you don't get to use it. By increasing the payout you affect 2 key gameplay issues: people should protect the suits they wear (benefits strategy and meaningful play) and increase the chance of the runaway-victor. Both hurt the game in the long term.
I run a basic scout almost exclusively, and every time I assassinate a squad leader wearing prototype gear... I know that I have tipped the balance of power substantially, and probably cost that player the profit of their entire match. That meaningful interaction is the reason that thoughtful people play, and invest, in this game.
I too want to run more prototype, but proto-saturation removes consequences from the ecosystem; and that is worthy of heavy consideration before any decisions are made.
-daj
It's not even close to comparable. Well it shouldn't be, but it actually is.
The only playstyle in Dust is PVP. In Eve PVP is one of many playstyles, but for most nowhere near profitable. Most PVPers have alts or side jobs that fund their habits. In Dust we just have droves of passive players that wait for that match where there is no recognizable corp or player on the other team.

When we inducted people into our First Claw we would all dump them millions of isk. We used to have bpo fundraisers with corp tax at 100% and spread out the earnings to those who needed it. I payed every member a million for s killing into FG. another mil if they got AV grenades. I'd even give out millions to the first one who could make it to a rally point. Bounties. Vehicle reimbursement. It used to be very profitable to be a wolf.
We traded all that for a zero tax. Now everyone struggles or thrives on their own.

If you can't beat proto suits (which don't help at all, IYAM) with the Starter fits, then you deserve your poverty. I routinely take on six-deep proto squads solo with a Starter AV fit and go 60 and 0.

It's probably the only uplink on the field if I throw a 15 second spawn, I was refering to R-9's and lower yes, oh your welcome! next time walk from your MCC mean ass.

I'm talking to all Dust players tho, point is to just get them to throw them more often. I'm not a fan of 15 second spawns neither but it is better than nothing. Yes agree, I only throw R-9's and higher but i'm rich now, not everybody is.

I can't remember what there called. The other advanced uplinks, has a better spawn time that's it. Better than the R-9 same price I believe. Check the stats I beilive the R-S time modifier is 20 and the other is 8
