PP week over?
- Thread starter Goorax
- Start date
I love PP too! Let's have a drink for that!
Yes and No.
Rank payment seems to be working as described:
However, keeping 100% for one cycle then losing 50% in later cycles is not what is described in the manual:
Admittedly it is slightly unclear how the compound accumulation works, but it is clear that previous cycles values should be halved.
As to the update working as intended, if the preparation->expansion process is working as intended, it certainly is not working as described and never has throughout beta.
So there are clearly some issues here that need looked at.
Yes, fair enough.
Re-reading my post it seems a little combative which wasn't my intent, I was just trying to be informative.
I'm just a little fed-up that I spent considerable time finding and raising bug reports in the Beta which have not been resolved.
This is a pretty major issue with PowerPlay, IMHO, and I think it is pretty poor they didn't take the time to fix this properly before releasing.
I didn't take it the wrong way, that was just my last attempt at trying to rationalize whats happened. It's likely just bugged. Not shocking.
I used to be like you, then I realized what I was reporting was likely very far down on the priority list or it wasn't ever read, so I moved on... and of course took an arrow to the knee.

is at power contact
You are NOW rank 3, when the cycle ended you were rank 1. You will get your rank 3 wages at the end of the cycle in which you were rank 3 (this one) and in the same way merit decay happens at the end of the cycle they were registered in.
I think the merit decay is applied to the value you had at the begining of the previous cycle,
similar to the payout thing in fact.
Which is zero for everybody for the first one.

mhh that could be possible.
so basically next week we would carry over 50% of what we have now + what we got in during the week
Main problem I see is PP sof far looks like some kind of RTS like Starcrtaft where resource generation in the early game is of utmost importance. A bug on resource generation in the first week(s) will just snowball into an irrecoverable deficit later on for those who got skewed. (Or more skewed than others, seeing all factions have weird stuff going on with their fortifications...
Math from Aleksej during a discussion with a user about the costs of paying for the merits.

only maybe is missing that each rank gives more merits(on prep thingie) i expect them to have lost some from that

Well, you can talk to him about that. None of this worries me, just trying to help people that it does.
The calculation is off, this is what it should look like (I havn't log in yet, but i hear the fast track cost scales with rank, so its 10k per 1 unit/merit).
