I would try to get my WP by killing stuff, but people don't take kindly to logis getting kills on here. Now it seems like they don't want use to use equipment either. Maybe I should go sit on the redline every battle.

One other thing, I also should mention I am not talking about the stupid farming behavior when people spam nanohives around a supply depot. That's selfish and does nothing to advance the teams objective. Please take the scenario listed in the context of someone who is placing the equipment in locations that are at least somewhat useful.

I would like this to be addressed by a dev as well. This and reviving those in the firing line. I suggest zero WP for nanohives within 10 metres of a supply depot, and zero WP for revives that result in a death within five seconds. To counterbalance the latter, give extra WP for using advanced/proto needles. Basically incentivize logis to help their team rather than troll them.

Sure, but everytime our revive is successfull the amount of money you haven't lost will be transfered from your wallet to the logi's who saved your sorry ass and yeah let's make money transfer for each amount of armor we repair ... Stop being jerks toward logis, when I think that this thread is just the slightly less mentally challenged child of a previous thread made just because a guy cannot stand to have a logi on top of the scoreboard with a negative ratio ... cunts, you want pew pew and no team work , go play another FPS.

There is no "'over' spam" of equipment because, like others have said, you can only deploy as many as the description says you can. At max you can deploy 3 at a time, and that is with Proto. Yes, you can deploy as many as 6, but this is more strategy than an "exploit".

For example: I was in a Domination match on Line Harvest, and I dropped 3 uplinks on the pipes. A little later, my team took the objective thanks to a couple of Orbitals and some good players. Later we did lose, but we would have never taken it without people spawning so close to the objective.

Technically, this is functionally working as intended. However, this (and supply depot interaction in general) is something we would like to change (the exact details of what we will change it to are still being decided on).

So there you have it boys and girls.

Keep explo...........em, em, opps I mean keep using this working as intended game mechanic to your advantage.

Simple solution:
Max number of items per equipment type. This way, it doesn't matter what type of nanohive you're dropping--you're still limited to two/three at a time. Just as you could also drop three of four REs or PMs. Those are all fine; the problem is when people are exploiting the numerical limits of each equipment type by tossing out different versions of each. Hence, you end up with the forge gunners sniping from a tower, surrounded by near-infinite ammo/armor repair.

As for switching suits...I have two builds that carry REs; one is utilized with an AR for CQC, the other is utilized with an SR if I'm able to cover the node from distance. It's great that I can lay some REs with one suit and then detonate them with the other, but I shouldn't be able to go out and throw some more REs of a different type.

Glad we could put that to rest once and for all. Perhaps now we can direct our attention to suggestions from the community (logis especially but all reasoned opinions are welcome) on how they would like to see the supply depot interaction to work, and a corollary, how could uplinks be changed (not nerfed) to maybe reduce mindless spam - hate to admit it but we all know it can happen - but still keep the strategic elements and WP gain viable for dedicated logistics players.

It does work as intended for now, but if the quoted post and community sentiment are any indication , something is going to be changed. If I can get some good suggestions/discussion here I can eventually move it to a dedicated and more focused thread in the feedback section. As I said in a related thread a few weeks ago, if a change is coming, I'd rather be driving that bus instead of being thrown under it.

Suggestions I've heard in the past that make sense include jammers or a minimum radius between uplinks. I've also considered a potential skill that modestly limits the number of uplinks one person can drop as a way you could potentially limit mindless spam by other classes but keep the mechanic more or less unchanged for the dedicated logi.

Discuss.

Any "Change" to reduce uplink spam would, by definition, be a nerf. Don't even try to sugar coat that...

... that said, I support such a thing. Uplink spam is boring lol; but honestly it is uber low priority considering other issues in the game.

As a logi who absolutely adores how the current system works, the only compromise I would be willing to make is some sort of increased map visibility for enemy troops whenever friendly equipment is too densely situated. Call it equipment noise caused by interference or something. That way people can still spam, but the enemy knows exactly where the spam pile is on their map. Combine that with WP for destroying equipment and you have a massive win-win for virtually everyone, especially scouts who would probably tend to specialize in this sort of thing (equipment search & destroy).

This is an excellent idea. Achieves balance and provides an additional WP gain. No nerf necessary
