Better rewards for away missions

Since a lot of us are bottled up for gold, it would be nice for missions that require more difficulty but pay a lot more in gold. A mission that nets me 500 gold does nothing with have 4* bots and in an alliance competing higher level ams

- Missions that award Featured Bot chips
- Missions that require a specific bot class and reward sparks
- Missions that require a minimum PI
- Missions that require more than 4 bots that are not considered "Epic" and make the bots unuseable for 5 hours
- Missions that reward things like AM potions, energon, or energy refills
- Missions that earn you a new type of currency that you can spend on "Special" items
The reward system in general for Away Missions is messed up IMO as well. You get more rewards per gold spent on the lower level Missions compared to any of the higher level ones. People have argued in the past that higher level Missions are worth more points - but thats only a valid reason when an Away Mission quest is running. Yes, if you are about to go to bed, selecting the Rare/Epic is probably the best bet. But if you are playing and able to check your game every 30-45min, its better for you to do the smaller quests first. In my opinion, you should get better rewards for the harder Missions that make doing that mission more valuable to you than the lower tiered one. A good comparison would be if people were still running Story Mission 1-1 because it offered more exp per run than the higher level maps. Doesnt sound right, does it? Well neither does giving more value to rewards done at a lower level.
Here is a perfect example of what im talking about:
COMMON Mission
Time 16min
Cost 547g
Rewards 250g + 996g
Total Rewards after cost = 699g
RARE Mission
Time 2hrs
Cost 2,096g
Rewards 955g + 3,819g
Total Rewards after cost = 2,678
Heres where it gets messy....I could do 7 COMMON Missions in the time that it would take me to do 1 RARE Mission, which would earn me a total of 4,893g....thats over 2,200g more than the RARE Mission. Im not sure how many points Common vs Rare missions award since that Event isnt running at the moment, but unless Rare missions awards more than 7x the points Common missions do, it would still be better to do the lower tiered ones.
.how many times have I seen 200 PBC shards or 70-90 t2 class spark essence for 6000g?
1. Multiple away missions at once, maybe linked to level limits.
2. Automatically filter bots that can't be selected to the bottom
3. Reuse previous bot / mark some favourites to be at the top of the list
4. Paying to refresh resets the number of available missions instead of just rerolling what is left.
Also, the 10e refresh option is kinda crimped by only refreshing the number of missions you have left. If I get all common missions, and 3 are for raid chips, 1 is for gold, I'm only interested in the gold one. But if I do it, I don't want to pay 10e to only refresh 3 missions, I want a new full hand of missions.
Or if I do 3 of the missions in 45 mins, I don't want to pay 10e for a new roll on just one mission, I want all 4 back. (And I want to know that the refresh thing actually works).
Oh, and tbh, I don't get the difference between "guaranteed" and "bonus" rewards. It isn't clear whether you always get the "bonus" if you use strong enough bots, or whether its random. If it's random, then away missions would rarely be worth the cost. If it's always, why is it differentiated?
That said, some real bonus beyond guaranteed will be appreciated.
Example:
I always keep a reserve of 50k in arena chips as my emergency backup for bot upgrades, AM costs, etc. Less than a week ago we had that T2A offer in the store. I wasn’t expecting to upgrade my MV1 to 4/5 until the next T2A Arena when I got 1-2% which will be what next week? Point is, that I was able to upgrade him last week due to the offer and had my reserve fund to dip into which took me down to 20k. Due to the Away Missions since then, I’m now back up to 50k+ again.
Don’t discount the away missions...
I routinely get 20 extra arena crystals from them every week, plus whatever gold and ore are offered.
It adds up to quite a bit.
The only complaint is the cost/reward ratio of epic ones, and rare to some extent
Getting an epic mission does not happen very often, so it's disappointing to see they still give T2B as a reward (and only a partial T2B at that).
Thanks for the feedback about the rewards! I'll go ahead and take this to the team so they can hear all your thoughts towards it!
Yep, it's more like 10 arena crystals a day with fairly regular checking on mission refresh times. Common is 700, uncommon is 1.3k ish, rare is over 3k. Just clear the arena chips first no matter what is on there, then do the rest if you are playing or just check back in a few hours. Epic ones do suck, there is no reason to do one other than for away mission event milestone.
