Influence vs. Prestige

Swiss Spines is currently at level 25 and a supergroup of one. how much influence am I losing right now by running in supergroup mode?

Should I turn off supergroup mode for a while and gain more influence? I am really low on Influence and need to stock up for SO's at level 27.

Should I just run the way I am?

Or won't I have enough influence for SO's if I am running in SG mode. Thing is I also want to get as much prestige as possible because am I a SG of 1 right now. I would like a base sometime (even a small one).

Thanks for the advice...

Until lvl 27 I thought you loose no influance at all for running in SG mode. At lvl 35 you get nothing anymore. But till 27 there is no need to exit SG mode.

RE: Influence vs. Prestige

Starting at lvl 25, you will lose a little fraction of the inf you would earn for each kill.

Example: at lvl 25, out of SG mode, a kill gives me 100 inf, in sg mode, i get 95.

at lvl 26, i only get 90. and so forth and so forth.

Once you hit lvl 34, you don't get any inf at all in SG mode.

I know this for certain. it's not 35, it's 34.

RE: Influence vs. Prestige

What Death_Conqueror said...putting it bluntly...yes you lose more influence with 1 member than if you had more than 1 member I did the same thing with my character Mike Smash in the Champion server and I lost about 5-10 influence depending on the lv. of the dude if I was in SG mode. than if I was out of SG mode...'course I got more members so now alls good

That's funny. I've been in sg mode the whole time from lvl 1 up until even now. Last night I was half way to 36. :)

RE: Influence vs. Prestige

Here is something i've suggested to my SG mates. If you really need them both, when running a mission, run the mission out of sg mode and just before completion switch to sg mode(or vise versa). That way you still get the big bonus which ever way you run it. If you out of SG mode during mission and then switch before you finish, you usually get a good prestige bonus. Don't know if its the same for all levels, but 200+ prestige is still a good bonus and you can still get tons influence.

That is correct, unfortunately I am the only person in the supergroup. I have about 8 or 9 members, but they are all my characters. My level 25 Scrapper is the highest, then a level 10 healer, and the rest are lower. So I am trying to see if I will get enough influence to support the enhancements I need (right now I am a little low). As well as how will I get more enhancements as I gain levels if the group is just me.

That is my question.

That assumes you've got people in the SG to give you influence.

As the highest level member (34) of my SG, I help out my SG-mates all the time in whatever ways I can. But I couldn't afford to stay in SG mode once I had our base built, and so since Level 31 I've been out of it. Once I've built up enough influence that I'm not going to be hurting for it (a friend tells me that running outside SG mode from L30-42, he built up about 42 mil Inf), I'll switch back to SG mode and help rake in the prestige again.

I find pretty hard to believe he got 42,000,000 prestige. Are you sure he wasn't just exagerating a little bit?

42 mil Prestige does sound a bit unrealistic. 42 mil Influence sounds a bit high, but within reason.

I said 'Inf' -- not prestige -- and outside SG mode -- can't earn prestige that way. Having worked EXTREMELY hard just to get my SG up to 1.315 mil prestige before starting our base, 42 mil is a pipe dream.

RE: Influence vs. Prestige

Well, I can personnaly vouch for the fact that being in SG mode at lvl 35 is pretty pointless (unless you're in an sg that pays you to be). I was getting about 1 prestige per kill and I think a whopping 2 prestige for bosses.

I turned off SG mode the other day (I'm 36 now) and just about fell outta my chair at how much inf I was getting. I was averaging about 600 inf per kill on lvl 40's and somewhere around 1 to 2k for bosses. Lets see, 1 to 2 prestige for the SG, or 600 to 2k inf for me per kill? I'm gonna have to think about that for a minute...

RE: Influence vs. Prestige

I have played in sg mode for most of my main Villains career only stopping when I needed to earn some money for my enchancement level ups. What I do is keep sg mode on and sell all of my enchancements after every mission. then when I am 1 level away from needing to upgrage my enhancements I stop playing in sg mode for that last level and I usually have enough for the upgrade. Not sure if this is true or not on the heroes side but for the first 14 (I think) members you add to your sg you get 20,000 each prestige. It will take a while if your an sg of only 8 members to earn enough prestige for a base see the guide i posted Here to give you an idea on how much prestige you will need. Although there is talk of them making base additions for smaller sg's but I'm not sure when that will be implemented.

Yeah, I think so. I did a quick test today and saw that I was losing about 5 influence per minion arrest (even level) when I am in Supergroup mode. That isn't bad right now.

I will just have to balance it and make sure I can still afford the enhancements every 5 levels.

Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate it.
