according to the new HOTFIX one of the updates is "Removed war point rewards for repairing actions " (https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=40682&find=unread)

Now does this mean you will get nothing (except healing a teammate) from using a rep tool? if so that kinda sucks, it will obviously solve the WP/SP Farming but will hinder anyone that plays the "healer" type heavily, as i play more of a support role rather then run and gun, so i usually get most of my points from healing/ reviving / re-suppling my team mates, please dont tell me i will be at a sever lose if this is whats going to happen

Please bear in mind that these fixes are not final, and that we are working on long-term changes for our next major update to further address issues regarding War Points.

While I appreciate the attempt to cut down on the Agricultural developers in the game I think CCP kind of swung the needle way too hard the other direction.

While I can see a huge cut-back on WP, repairing allies and vehicles should still gain some WP even if it's only like a hack-assist kind of level of 15-20, not the 60+ from healing a Defend order (which is also being lowered, somewhat thankfully though it will be a big drop from those of us who run legitimate squads defending our heavy or logi as we crawl all over the map).

With it being cut to 0 now there's no benefit from running it except for the tactical purpose of keeping your allies alive. While a crucial element after a heavy firefight it means that the player who keeps his allies alive gains no personal benefit (nor benefit for squad or corporation).

Hopefully there will be further tweaking of this, but I think this could be a good thing to kill off the farmers before bringing back repair benefits, even if significantly lowered from their former level which I think is all any of us actually wanted, not the complete WP blackout.

GLOO GLOO, you've always been my favorite WTF player despite killing me on multiple different occasions.

I can understand you being mad but this aint final. My advice is : focus on re-supply and reviving. People will still love you a lot for that ^^ Maybe throw in some drop uplinks in ambush. Will earn you a lot of love also

It sounds to me like most of you are doing a lot more theory crafting, than playing a combat medic.

The WP point gain is already dismal, 25~ish WP a pop, if you managed to heal the person long enough for a tick. if you were healing a heavy who already burned his shields, tough luck. It is beneficial though, for a team to achieve THE W.

Compared to the multitude of ways a combat medic has to achieve WP's though I don't think it is that big of a nerf, and i don't think it will effect my score at all, especially considering the other ways they have nerfed war point gain.

I will agree, that this change will unincentivize playing the combat medic role. In my experience, the list of people who are willing to run around getting shot trying to heal people, or pick them up is pretty short, and pretty dedicated.

TL;DR Wont effect overall medic WP, quit crying, start playing the loadout.

This is so damn stupid, you took away the main ability of the combat medic logi. So disappointing that CCP continues to bring a nerf hammer, when obivously a scalpel is needed.

You guys know who are boosting/cheating you have the data right there. But, instead of punishing the player, you chose to punish all medical logi bros.

Red the announcement much ? This is a HOT fix. not a perma-decision regarding the game. Beta ? remember ?

1.2Mil Sp ? weird enough that i found a post where you complain about having reached the SP cap and being bored.
Meh, after all. i dont care. You just sad.

So why not just take away the SP from the damn orbital strike or kills in general. That would have solved the problem, and yes I know it's temporary. But, guess what this temporary fix could be here in the beta for months. So yes, it affects me and other real logi bros. So guess what, I will speak out against this again and again. CCP knows who is boosting, ban the players don't nerf a whole play style.

I have 6 psn accounts, I skill capped 3 or 4 I can't remember. happy now. Bon vivou mange tout. Aureveroireoir.

Isn't there anybody here who's happy that this huge weakness of the game design was found during the closed beta and not after release? Did anyone take a minute to...
a) ...remind yourselves all your hard earned Lifetime WPs, SPs etc. will be wiped before the next build?
b) ...contemplate that what's happening right now is this beta's very purpose?

Had we been playing the live version, I'd be hating on THE WARRIORS just like everyone else. This however is the beta and we're lab rats. We're here to prevent bugs bad design mechanics like this one from going live. Can you imagine the kitten storm that would have erupted if this exploit had gone live? People would be cursing CCP as much as THE WARRIORS. They'd be wondering how could a bug so detrimental to the game's health made it through all the testing. Thankfully, that scenario is purely hypothetical.

Now let's get back to work! ...that is, blowing each other's faces off with digital bullets :D
