I'm going to go ahead and skip your entire post to say that the "bug" has been confirmed by CCP to be left alone until the full vehicle pass happens, since the numbers they have show that it's not as OP as people would think.

Calm your *female mammary gland duct, in the plural* bro.

Wow. Read the post before you reply. You just showed how dumb and stupid you are because not once did I ask for CCP to leave it alone until the vehicle pass.

No u dum und stooped und teh poopy-hed.

I went ahead and read your post. My reply still stands. The "bugs" are being left alone until the vehicle pass, because even though they exist, they don't skew the effectiveness of vehicles into the "OP" or "UP" territory when compared to each other.

Even CCP has confirmed that it is a bug, they restore at 3x the rate they should. not for 3x the time. At 3x the rate, aka: they heal the full 3 second cycle's worth, 3 times per second.

at least that's how I've understood it, I shield tank which means my active rep is worth only slightly more than simply throwing a passive rep boost on.

and really? it isn't bugged when the tank can OUT-REPAIR barrages of prototype large missiles?

Shield reps take three times as long than they should.

Also, it's the terrible balance which makes armor reps so good when compared to shield boosters. Like I said, shields need buffing, not armor nerfs. But nobody listens when I offer my suggestions.

The reason it's broken is that shield tanks have to deal with shield reps that restore 3x less than armor tanks, so that makes them inherently worse than armor in almost every scenario.

It's no surprise all you see are Madrugar tanks nowadays. If they brought shield reps in line with armor reps, then you could call it as "working as intended".

That's a balance issue. I'm simply stating that the mechanics of armor reps are the same as every other active module and are not bugged.

Its not working as intended you silly silly goose . They have already said this. its supposed to give health every three seconds five times. Its not doing that.

And this bug has existed for how long now? It obviously must have been intended and the mechanics show that. But only these past few months have shown that it is unbalanced. What you're referencing is a statement regarding balance.

Also, if it is not working as intended, then where was their statement about shield boosters? They are obviously not working as intended either.

According to CCP Wolfman it is a bug (and not some goof up in numbers) but it shouldn't be fixed until 1.5 hopefully.

It's not a nerf if it is confirmed as a bug. that's like saying "fixing the bug that allows Forge Guns to shoot through walls is a nerf". It is not a nerf if they're fixing a bug.

it's a nerf if they're actually doing it because it's unbalanced. in this case, the bug is creating an imbalance, so when they fix the bug, people will see it as a nerf, but in reality, they just fixed a bug.

I urge you all to reread my post.

It might be hard to wrap your head around, but if you look at the shield transporter example, it all makes sense.

This is not about balance. This is about mechanics. And the mechanics are working properly. They might be causing an imbalance, but they are definitely not bugged. There is no bug to be fixed, but rather mechanics that need changing or numbers buffed on shield boosters.

Also don't forget that shield boosters are bugged because they take three times as long to cycle than what it should take them.

You call the scale that is vehicles vs AV balance? LOL!

You don't know how bad it'll be if the repper gets "fixed."

You are right, your OP makes perfect sense, until you factor in that, unlike remote reps, Local reps repair their listed value per pulse, not per second, per pulse.

The Heavy IG-L local rep, for example, states that it has a pulse interval of 3s, pulses a total of 5 times, and repairs 342HP per pulse. Meaning that it should repair a total of 1710HP. Instead, it currently has a pulse interval of 1s, and pulses 15 times, repairing a total of 5130HP.

I'm sorry but then it seems that CCP is confused on this issue.

By that logic, every active module is bugged. Look at my shield transporter example. Does it look bugged? No. But by their logic, it's bugged and should boost x amount shield once instead of x shield/s for 15 seconds. I don't agree with any statement that says that "Oh the armor reps are bugged."

It's a question about balance, but I stick hard to my belief that the armor rep is not bugged. The shield booster is simply UP.
