All the code related to winning rewards is handled outside of the SQF, and that piece has not changed. I do know that games that are 3 hours will not get paid the full reward (as currently coded). You get paid based on how you do in the game, how long the game goes, etc. But again, none of that piece has changed at all... Link to comment
Tusken Raider Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just now, bamf said: I guess I'm confused here. No other things related to money have been changed. The carrier didn't get changed (although the AA should work better now I would think with the new cleanup scripts). So why would winning pay any differently now than before? On Malden before Strife went down I could play for less than 5 min on the winning team and would get 100k and if online while my team won minimum of 300k. Something related to winning payout changed while strife was down. Chase and hamsham12 like this Link to comment

Seems a bit unfair that some get more and some get less.. (edit: when my stats are some of the best on the server) I just wanted some clarification, if it changed all good, it was fun while it lasted. However, it's really frustrating getting camped by jets, tanks, players and other vehicles, getting 60+ kills and multiple caps/defends, and getting 50k.

Leady Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Also have to take into account, Malden is a smaller map, you were constantly in combat, IE killing people earning $. In Tanoa you have to go a bit further to see someone and IMO there is less bunching on Tanoa so less people to kill = less $. Just an observation. Link to comment

No, it's not something you should get comp for. What I'm saying is that payouts scale with the time of the overall game (the individual campaign). So if you happen to be in a game that you joined at the start and it it lasted 3 hours, then you would receive a different payout than if you joined and played 3 hours of a campaign that went on for 15 hours. You will still be paid based on how you did in that game, but there is an expectation that games will last longer than this hypothetical 3 hour game (at least according to how it was setup at first - which has not changed).

And that's what im confused about, I played for 4 hours and received 55k. Just wanted clarification whether this was intended, or a bug. @explicit Was there as well, during the game both of us had over 70 kills. Don't know what his payout was, but mine was garbage.

You could add in the launcher at the expensive of making helicopters 100% useless. But even at that, feel free to do your own testing and you will see that they are not an effective tool at taking down jets. The missiles are flared easy and even if you do get a hit, it will not consistently take the jet and the pilot can land and repair. Link to comment
Zorrak Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 there is so much you guys can do with this gamemode, i have some suggestions. - add rewards for reviving people as a medic, - fix vehicle re-arming it re-arms to 95% not 100% - add reward for when a player you incapacitated force respawns - make vehicles non faction specific for balance purposes - change how vehicle destruction payout works, so if i shoot a rocket at a tank and he blows up 10 secs later i actually get paid, (currently you only get paid if they blow up instantly) - add payout for re-arming or repairing friendly vehicles, obviously need some sort of cooldown to prevent exploits. - add titan launchers for engineers as a purchasable launcher - add wheeled APCs (madrid and marshall) - up rewards for capping - increase prices for anti personnel mines - add assist payouts 50%? - offer an instant payout for switching teams due to team balance - fix static HMG and GMG they have thermals ill add more as i think of it MR.

Yes, it is the main problem and the fact like @Mr Smirnoff said that jets can easily counter AA by staying higher in the air to avoid being locked onto Link to comment

Hes saying that you guys(devs) listen to the community with strife but not with the life servers. At least that is how I read it. I also quoted you in a post I made as reply to the thread for cartel locations, it was a little bit off topic but needless to say no feedback on it.

Kettles Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 @Paratus, @bamf and @Gnashes, please consider increasing the respawn timer when you die at your base, similar to when cops die at an HQ. It's annoying when you wipe a squad only to have them insta-spawn and kill you before you have time to start the hack. Link to comment

Could it be possible for to be known for everyone how the pay out works exactly? For example with my mindset of going for objectives and winning the game i often push in while others snipe, clear up mines and try to go for the hack but in that process it's more likely to die. My sniping teammates however get paid better, and im not even talking about the tanks/jets getting insane k/d ratio's due spawn camping. In my opinion rewarding k/d makes sense in general but in strife it just rewards the wrong people. Someone who captures or restores alot of capture points should definitly be rewarded alot, these are the most important actions in this game mode. Link to comment
Gaskal Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 The funny fact most of the people here playing on the server for the money and they will quit playing on the server cuz of the payments nerf but they still fighting over jets anyway the only thing i care about is the map i hope it become malden only Link to comment
HapHazard Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 What people don't realize is the payments aren't supposed to allow you to not have to make money on Altis. That's not the point. If you just want to play strife, the money made on Strife is enough to keep you relatively self sufficient (in theory). If you came to Strife hoping that you'd never have to run meth again to support your Altis Life bank account then you're gonna have a bad time. Treeontyn and Mitch (IFRIT) like this Link to comment
