"Fixed grouped mission payouts to function as they did at 14.1. The payout is divided by the number of total players instead of only by the number of players in range. A player must be in range to receive their portion."
I tried this new payout system on Nova. With my toon running solo, the mission payouts on Dantooine range from 8000 to 14000 credits. I then went IMP and aquired an AT-ST wihch I grouped with, and parked at the Agro Outpost. The mission payouts jumped to a range of 18000 to 25000 credits.
I then made another toon (an entertainer) with an AT-ST and dropped my AT-ST. We grouped and the payouts were still good (25000 max) but when it was paid out, I was given only half the payout, about 10 to 12K with the rest given but not paid to the entertainer, the ent was too far away.
So my question is this, if I want full and high payouts, I have to be Imperial with an AT-ST, this doesn't seem right since I want to be Rebel ... how can I make equal money??
