Hey guys, just a FYI since the support department is doing nothing about it. Ever since loot 2.0 came around, beacon instances no longer 'pay out' extra loot like they used to. Back in the day you'd just kill the boss and every 20-100 beacons or so you'd get a huge amount of loot from the boxes to pay back all the losses you made on the other 19-999 beacons.
A great example of that is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXFcG7aszbo
Then the Batsim VU came around, MA changed things a little bit and looks like they shared the codebase for the two. Now when you entered the beacon, you got a message that 'this instance has increased loot, yadda yadda' exactly like it shows when you're going to get a multiplier on Battle Sims. And for a few months, you ACTUALLY got extra loot when you got that message.
THEN Loot 2.0 happened. It has been 18 months since the Loot 2.0 VU. We STILL get that message, but now we get NO extra loot. I've run 150+ beacons and I'm sure at least the same amount have been run by other people. We still get 75-90% tt returns on each beacon that we run but there have been ZERO beacons that have paid anything back extra.
Beacons also don't follow new loot rules, as when you run them in team loot is split by damage done and not by costs incurred like loot 2.1 or whatever is supposed to do, so they're probably not counting armour decay, fap decay, missed shots or whatever.
Also while they're looking into this, the maturity setting for troopers on 42 PED beacons has been wrong for half a decade lol, they're supposed to be Akbal Trooper Gen 7.. not Akbal Trooper Prototypes.
