Alot less loyalty point gain after Crucible?

So I just want to see if someone else have noticed this, because I cant find -any- threads about it or information in the patch notes.. I've gone from 8-9k for my lvl 4's to about 4-6k. And I'm on the same agents only diffrence is that my standing is as high as it can possible be now.


So did they decrease it for everyone or am I missing something here?

I for one have seen no change in LP and a slight increase in completion rewards. So now we're up to n=2.

Hmm, it seems wierd..

It cant have something to do that I created my own corporation recently? I'm the only one in it and my standing has only gotten higher since then towards both the faction and the corporation I'm doing missions for, which btw is Caldari Navy.

9.98 with Caldari Navy
4.80 with Caldari State

Thanks for all the answers I can get, I dont want to file an uncessary petition

They changed the connection skills that affect payout, did you re-train them?

Nope. No change in the patch, and no change noticed here.

Haven't done any missions in a while myself, but it COULD be that the LP modifier for some/all missions has been reset. As players do the missions, LP payouts will return to their 'normal' value according to how fast players finish the individual missions (missions taking long time will get higher payouts than missions easily blitzed).

Ahh, alright thank you. That's probably it..

Thinking about it it makes sense. I belive the missions that are fast and blitzable are the ones that sufferd the big lp decreases..

Problem solved I guess. Thanks for the help!

All i know is that mission LP & ISK payout depends to an extent on how many people fail/decline it in a given area (not sure how wide area, probably constellation) and this is calculated on some medium-length time interval - so maybe there's a sudden torrent of people doing the missions in your constellation and not declining/failing everything. Best guess I can offer.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I think you are probably not remembering correctly the amount of LP you were getting pre Crucible.

With Security Connections at level 4 there is no way you were getting 9K LP from any high sec agent. Even in the lowest 0.5 system you would be maxing out in the mid 8k range for the highest paying missions, and anything higher than 0.5 you can't get over 8.5k even with Connections trained to level 5.

I'm just going to guess that you are running in a 0.7 or 0.8 system, in which case the LP payouts are as they should be at 4-6k for most missions with your skills.

Best to have those skills trained up to level 4.
