FYI This never did get fixed & the bonus dropped continuously until it reached zero, despite me being the only alliance member & only levelling up as antagonist.

I disbanded the alliance & the aequilibrium became 20% and worked properly afterwards.

I'd advise everyone not to form an alliance, until it's fixed, if you're relying on the bonus, as it drops no matter what you do.

Hi, thanks for the reply. It was from Xbox 1 to Xbox 1.

It's definitely not an inactive thing, the guilds aren't working properly, in line with the aequilibrium.
I kicked everyone out, to test it & played on my own.
It seems that anyone that was in the same tier 1 group that I was in, or any other person that was in the same tier group that any other guild member was in, is taking from our guild aequilibrium.
It's therefore a bug and so there's absolutely no point in being in a guild right now, since there's no benefits whatsoever.
I can't tell if anyone outside the guild is able to add to the aequilibrium , but they are definitely taking from it. I am down to 9% now without ever levelling up as a raider, so I have no choice but to disband until the bug is sorted out.

Extra screenshot, just to show that it shouldn't be dropping since only 1 player is adding to the antagonist side, nobody is adding to the raiders side.

It seems to be fixed now, so the topic can be closed or removed

Not sure this is working properly since the update.

I created a guild & invited 2 people, who are yet to accept as they haven't been online.

I then played a raiders match & turned off as I needed to go out.

When I got back, it was down, from 40% to 35%, I played 1 more raiders match & the reward gave me a 32% bonus, even though it was 35 when I started the match. I played as antagonist & the bonus stayed the same. I searched for another match & it dropped to 31%,

What's going on here?

Before the update you had to level up before the Aequilibrium changed.
Increase level as a raider and it drops by 1%, increase level as antagonist and it raises by 5%.

As this was the case, I can't understand how 2 raiders matches and 1 antagonist match has lost me 9%, that's terrible & will only get worse when more people join.
Surely it's an error.

Now, to the gold.
This seems to have drastically decreased.
I played the above 2 raiders missions and got 800 gold for 1 mission and just over 1200 for another, while the level 2-5's I played with got 3400 & 5400 with no bounty weapons.
The levels were much much harder than before the update, in fact, hanging by a thread with 3 players level 5 & under was almost impossible & my MMR was only 37%, aren't they supposed to be easier?
We had elites dropping in & calling bombers, as well as ships dropping soldiers almost immediately after the previous ship took off, so we lost & I got just 800 gold while the others, who I had to carry as they had no idea what they were doing, got a much better reward & that's totally unfair, I did the hard work, killed the soldiers, blew up the ships, all they did was constantly die, but they get over 4 times the payout that I do?

My failed antagonist mission got me just 640 gold after 25 minutes hard work.
I am really shocked at the difference & TBH, that kind of reward isn't going to be worth the 25-45 minutes effort anymore, why is the reward suddenly so appalling?

I took out plenty of raiders & wasted nearly half an hour for a paltry 640?

I played another antagonist mission after typing the above, and the Aequilibrium then gave me a 31% bonus after the match and immediately dropped to 30% while I was in a queue & not playing.
Since I played as antagonist, if anything, that should have gone up, not down. There's definitely something wrong here, for sure!

That's indeed a bothersome situation.

When the Space Guilds update kicks in, you'll be able to share the Aeqilibrium bar with your buddy by teaming up and forming a guild. If nobody else joins your guild, only the two of you will be able to move Aequilibrium towards the Raiders/Antagonist end, with noone else interfering on it.

That's awesome news, thank you very much

Can you make this system a little bit fairer please?

Myself and 1 other person managed to get our group from nothing to 30%, after which I logged off.

When I came back, the leeches had already dropped it to 11%, so I decided to play & get some of the rewards that I contributed half the effort towards.

Before I levelled up, it was down to just 1%, and still nobody else is playing as antag.

I just don't think it's fair that they can all just leech the bonus without adding to it at least once per level up.

Now I have to go and earn it all back again or just tolerate the soon to be 0%, as it looks like the other person has somehow moved from the same tier1 room as me, leaving me to do it all on my own now.
