Battlepay From 1000 Reserve -> 0 Instantly?

[Skaleek]

Gabii, Ceres. V was attacking it like 10 minutes ago, it had a battlepay of 1,000,000 with a reserve of 1000. It then instantly vanished. What?

[--Q--PyralisTT]

The conflict ended thats why it disappeared. Warlords in the clan usually do that to get large amounts of credits. 

Heres the info for that match.

Also i have played alot of pvp and 100 reserve takes a long time to deplete so 1k would have taken even longer. Especially when theres  a high reward it always says cant find opponents.

Because, most likely, the alliance removed it. They used it to lure people to play for their side, then remove it so they don't have to pay out and they still win. 

[Skaleek]

That's a thing? Theres no minimum lockout period to change battlepay? they can just bait and then remove it? How is that even okay?

Alliances cannot remove battlepay. Once it is set, the only way to get rid of it is to exhaust it (through players playing the node and getting the reward).

 

Contrary to popular belief, bait-and-switching (adding it and then quickly removing it) is not possible with the current system.

Faith in humanity destroy.

Well ...

Then how was 1000 battlepay instantly removed?

[Slaviar]

As far as I know attacking alliance often sends its hit squad, they let warlord(or whoever can set battlepay) to set big reward when core is around 1%, then destroy it and get paid with said reward.

Well alot of people play this game so 1,000 ain't that much. And when the pay is 1,000,000 lots of people are going to jump on that pretty quick.

Interesting, still see people complaining about battlepay randomly disappearing and people complaining and accusing that the alliances remove it once people start running the conflict.

 

But is still interesting then if they can't do that, where did the battlepay he is talking about go, I can't imagine 1000 people all finishing at once.

Battlepay of 1mil, but only 1k in reserve, so just someone grabbed it.

[Skaleek]

No there was 1,000,000,000 in reserve, thats 1000 battlepayouts, I run enough pvp to tell you that doesnt go instantly.

All it takes is 250 games of 4 players each. It is possible that the alliance had a lot of players already in the game and waited until the battlepay was set and then had them all finish, but organizing 250 games active simultaneously is really quite hard and unlikely.

 

Also when you think of how many active players there are in Warframe this moment, it's not that hard to imagine that people jumped on the opportunity fast.

 

At this moment there are 24,970 players active in Warframe on Steam alone, which means there are many more that are on that don't use Steam.

The reserve means how many battlepays of that amount are left. 1,000 reserve of 1,000,000 battlepay = 1,000,000,000 in the bank.

that specifically isn't possible, but the end result is the same.

these Alliances are all on cahoots with each other, and they're sharing Credits by smuggling them out in Battlepay.

some of them agree to share some Credits, one attacks a Rail, puts up Battlepay, and then the other side burns the Battlepay down in a matter of minutes at most.

so instead of being slimy to the average joe, it's instead a drug cartel.

Yup its easy to get large amount of credits once you know someone in one of those big alliances. Most of the time its your friends that is playing on the enemy team and just dies quickly so you can get the credits.
