Wake up on your pony farm! Bombing in arcade can create like 10k+ score. That is why you would want to do that in events. Try some math on this! 2000 point is a laughable minimum wage. Even with boni.
Yes, I emphasized it later, but arcade was in there before. And you are fine to bring changes in bomber score in realistic too, in case they reduced that too. But no one in his right mind would use that score in realistic to do events quickly, even before the nerf. It is the wrong mode for bombers.
In the past, I participated in events to “finance” premiums and other stuff in game. With the change of the event system to rotating score events, that is gone. I never could be bothered to earn that much score to make a non-premium sellable. Especially, since there was still the battle pass, where you could make premiums sellable. I only took part in the air events after the change. Sometimes I got naval by accident. I don’t needed a third “SMS Bayern”, it just happened. With air, I usually participated. This time, I didn’t want to, but ended up with the award or so close to it, that I took out the bomber and got the remaining point in a mission or two.
I see it the same as you:
I guess I won’t bother about most air events from now on.
One of the reasons this forum became pointless is that every thread is raided by RB players giving their useless RB opinions in Arcade. At least, stay on topic!
To those that were praising score based events in the past and are now finding out how they really are, some players in this forum warned about this being much more time consuming than task based events. Not only that, in score based events you basically compete not only against your enemy but against your own team for the score. Adding to that Gaijin brought multipliers that made players that enjoy Arcade and WW2 vehicles play them with a huge disadvantage. Not to mention the constant nerfs in how score is rewarded, not just on this game mode but in others.
I used to enjoy playing events but honestly most are not worth the time now. And considering how much event vehicles have been selling in the Gaijin Market, it’s better to buy them directly than to waste so much time playing them for 2 weeks or more.
It was moved to arcade. I wanted it to be about events but moderation changed it. So he is right about that.
That however was a problem from the start, as many people don’t seem to grasp what score is.
This is what the trend seems to be. The bread basket is moved higher and higher. Way more score if you want to sell, but also effectively if you want it for yourself. So if bombing no longer provides score, wait for the return of campers in low tier.
Still OP told others, including to you, that this thread was related to Arcade. But even after that some of you kept talking about other RB and even SB related stuff, not to mention the off topic crap that no one cares.
You needed a lot more knowledge for it than required to dive for red cloud. Now you get the same score, no matter what. So more brain dead TDM and newbie clubbing. Splendid!
IDK about arcade, but in realistic (not sim), the more bombs in your loadout, the less score/rp/sl you recieve per base. Are you sure you arent expierencing this?
Try bringing only enough bombs for a single base and see if that solves your issue.
In arcade, few low tier bombers can kill a base with a single drop anyway (in air reload!). If you aim for air base destruction, you can’t just load 4x 50kg, you have to max out your effect on bases. So you only bring enough bombs for at most one base anyway.
That is not a new change, at least in Arcade Ground Battles. And guess when did they implemented it, after events went from task to score based. This was a huge score nerf in general. Before everyone would get the max reward for capturing a point (300 points) and now only the first tank gets the whole reward while the rest only gets a fraction of it depending on how much time they spent capturing it.
Most players don’t realize, but we play this game mostly against Gaijin. Every change that nerfs rewards favours them and hurts the grind.
Quoting a few other players who actually made the effort to track their actions:
just played a match and it’s so [] bad. I was in the cap from 0-95%, then strayed out of the grid for 5 seconds or so. Came back in and finished the cap. Only 50 points, kill me now.
Update : I also just sat on the cap and accidentally strayed off it for a few seconds… my reward was 99 points… normally this would be 540 or so.
And I’ll add straying off the cap is very easy in a heated dogfight when it’s a tiny 8x8 square even in props.
It’s not even an event-exclusive issue either - capture points were kind of the segue for new players into getting score even when they’re still working towards getting their first kill and also to reward a wing of players working together even if only one of them gets the kill.
If you check the scoreboard most of the players would have to play for a really long time in order to make score based events, mostly only the top players can do them in a reasonable amount of time.
When before you had a task of capturing points, you would only need to stay in the point while your team was capturing it for a couple of seconds, and it would count as 1 captured point. Now, since events are score based, if you do the same you basically get no score cause only the player that stays the whole time while capturing the point gets the full score. This change only came to the game after events turned from task to score base, their intention on this is pretty clear, force players to play for a longer period of time by nerfing score, same as for the bomb nerf mentioned on this thread.
in air arcade, low tier base bombing was an efficient way to get quick event points. with that now gone, low tier seal clubbing will be much more appealing. unfortunately.
“A bug that caused mission point multipliers for damage and destruction of bases to cease varying from 0.6 to 2.5 depending on vehicle Rank and game mode and become 1 everywhere has been fixed”
