    Just finished my tenth instance since the VU. (2) lvl 3 and (8) lvl 4 keys. Noteable loot was 4 golden key parts and 35.5K arkoins. Loot is always 20-30 ped more than ammo spent which is a big improvement from before update.

    Thought I would try another after the VU.

    Key 8

    72.72% tt return (guns/amps/ammo).

    Same as before it seems. Ark really needs to fix this.

    Well in all fairness, i noticed the same returns in the calypso beacon missions and Rocktropia instances. There i have given up a long time ago. For arkadia i make an occasional exception because i like what is being done with the planet. Sadly i don't think anything will be done about it, the ark team knows about these returns since the first week the instances were launched.

    I guess MA/ark feels it's ok to give lower returns in instances because of the chance of markup items in the instances (self-fulling prophecy because there are people who avoid instances making the supply of instance loot lower, increasing markup).

    @archman, if you include the cost of the key i think you are still at around 70-75% tt return?

    and how is that working out for MA/ark, a key feature of the arkadian experience, and "everyone" seems to have gone meh, whatever, this VU. :)

    Fixed that for you, conformity is fickle at best.

    I only track ammo spent versus tt of loot. Tt loot is higher now than before VU. I would hope i can average 1 out of 10 instances i can make a profit above ammo and key cost. Time will tell.
