I’ve noticed something in my experiences with grouping vs. solo in the candidate trials. One thing I’ve noticed that is consistent in the experience is that if I group with even 1 other person, the amount of loot I receive goes down dramatically. Also, my chances of success go down a fair bit as well.

For an example of this I’ll provide hard numbers.

Solo play, tier 2, every round I received a MINIMUM of 5 heavy loot bags. Every round. As well as a fair number of broken lockpicks which sell for a decent amount, and every 2-3 rounds I would receive scrap metal.

Playing with 1 other person, Tier 2, every round I received 1 heavy loot bag, with the rare occasion of getting scrap metal. Number of broken lockpicks dropped to 9-11.

Not only are the rounds HARDER with another person, but I am rewarded less for playing with someone else. This seems backwards.

Also there’s a bug with this, no matter how well a team does, silver contribution is the highest achievable.

Is it?For gold contribution your team have to kill 50 pirates, not save every treasure.
And the more you kill more loot you gain,max at 50 kill.
And yes, it is discourage grouping.The scaling is just insane,their hp increase too much.

The difficulty aside, this event is made unfun and horrible experience with all the bugs which most people are not aware of.
