Steel reward is not enough per game | Forums

[iAlecP]

I think the XP reward is fine but why is the steel reward per game so low? If packs and customise upgrades cost hundreds of steel, then we shouldn't be rewarded with 10 steel for a win and 5 for a loss per match (Dominion)...

Same can be said of the 'orders' - you do all that work, all that killing only to be rewarded with 50 steel...

EDIT: I know the daily orders net you 250 gold for completing them, but there are only 2 every 24 hours...still not enough.

I agree, I don't think it needs a significant increase but something needs to be changed. The amount of steel you get as a reward for your effort is abysmally low, so much so that it takes ~70 wins to earn enough steel to unlock one premium package. That's not even taking into account your losses.

It's a bit of a letdown when you go 15-0 and you still get the same 10 steel reward as your friend who went 4-3. It doesn't feel ample enough to encourage players to keep queueing.

Do take into consideration that you DO get "missions" that net you some iron, tho we could do with more varying missions and they should refresh quicker once you've completed the non-dailies.

What i would suggest, is guaranteed loot at the end of a match (win or lose) and a small chance for a secondary loot OR a higher quality loot (for the winner).

As other have said the current rate of gaining Steel is abysmally low. All the current rate signals is that there will be a HEAVY push of micro transactions to buy more Steel.

I have to agree, the current rate is just a bit low. At current rates if you exclusively play dominion and win every single round, it would take 100 games to unlock the cheap execution, baring any outside influence from contracts. Also, considering contracts are only 8 at a time baring your dailies and usually only awarding 50 a piece, you're looking at 200 steel for doing ALL of them (some of which are legitimately difficult and only offer 50 steel? Really?), and Dailies only net a total of 500 a day.

On top of ALL that, if you do all of your contracts, you can get only a SINGLE premium pack (not counting the steel from the games you played to finish said contracts). And that premium pack only gets you 5 items for a single character at that. If that wasn't absurd enough, lets take into account that there is also a chance of getting nothing as a reward from a match when you only get one item per match, 99% of the time being a low value common item. So essentially, to get weapon and armor parts to modify your character's stats (which while not hugely necessary to gameplay, certainly helps a good bit), you have to pray to RNGesus and save Steel like it's your job.

I hope the devs didn't do it to lengthen the unlocking process due to the lack of content.

Yeah the amount is wayyy too low, XP is fine but getting 10 steel per game is dreadful, i think having around 50 or 60 per win and perhaps 30 or 40 per loss and perhaps some extra based on your overall score, maybe your score divided by 10 would do nicely.

So say for example you won a game and get 60 steel, and then you did really well in your team etc. and got 400 points you would get 100 steel per game, and if you did that in 3 games you could get a basic scavenger gear, and 5 games would net you either a weapon or armour pack and obviously 7 games would get you a premium one, and that's all if you win and get the top score in every game, i feel like that's more balanced and rewards your efforts.

I agree, that it should be somewhere around the 50's, thus about 10ish matches would net you the armor / weapon pack @500. You should 'work' for the premium, thus adding a few more games ontop to get there.

Performance / overall personal score should play a role in the end result (just to keep leeches in check), but not in a big way, since this would discourage the majority of players aka. the casuals.

Have you tried winning a duel? I notice that I had an abysmal amount of winnings from dominion but in duel I net alot more. This might have just been my orders but I will check again in a little bit.

Even changing the Win/Loss rewards to 50/25 in Dominion wouldn't be that bad. It would still take 6/12 (or a combination thereof) for even the most basic of packs and 14/28 for a Premium Pack which is better than how it stands at the moment. People don't want to work all day and grind all night just to buy a decent pack, only to get 3 pommels and feel like all that effort was wasted, and I know that there is a very easy 500 Steel to be made each day from the Daily Orders, and about 450 to be made over the week, but I just feel like I'm grinding and it's not worth it right now.
