Topic: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

Beta assignments are not worth doing. Level 6 assignments give ~600k NIC reward on average and are completed in approx. 30 minutes. With maximized multiplier and Contract Negotiation that’s 3-4m NIC/hour with implied risk of 10-100m NIC bot loss.

In contrast, the same player can make 30mil NIC/hour farming on the top Alpha NPC spawns. Why would anyone risk their bot for a pitiful reward?

Assignment part 2 is nowhere in sight. I propose multiplying all Beta assignment NIC rewards with 5.

As far as i remember... Some DeV told about full system revamp. Current system is a kind of foundation. So i'm not sure if they change anything this way.

Re: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

It's supposed to come with Assignment part 2, but who knows how far it will be. If they multiply the reward, they'll be worth doing now.

Re: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

I have way more favourable numbers for my beta missioning. I guess this is more of the symptom of your mission branch rather than missions themselfs. Note that those that do combat missions can readily and seamlessly turn into PvP as situation calls for it. I think part of your reward is supposed to come from people that don't have that property and their mission income. So it's more like the misions are there to be not to die of boredom as you wait.

btw: while talking baout misison s branch balance transport is utterly screwed by missing the level 6 slot.

Re: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

What mission types and what rewards(non-multiplied)? I only checked combat L6-s.

Re: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

Burial I understand your request. This will have some drawbacks though as creating x5 the profit would easily increase NIC faucets and make everything on market much more expensive, therefore balancing out the rewards, where we would be back to square one and with an inflation problem.

Re: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

The same NIC/h is already coming in from Alpha. Also, It'd most likely actually help the economy since people would be killing and dying more.

Re: Beta assignment reward multiplied by 5

The beta assignments need tuning. Actually a pure multiplier for all assignments would not fit, as some assignments provide a rather acceptable income and only some are complete out of a reasonable values.

I agree. The mining missions in particular can easily be done with Argano in 10 minutes if the field is close. There's not that many missions, someone should just go over them and adjust the reward to be balanced. It's not a big job and, if done right, adds enormous content to Betas.
