Booby Tuesdays Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 363	Posted - 2013.11.05 04:10:00 - [1] - Quote Just curious, with the values being doubled on all repair tools, will this also result in less WP's from repping? I'm going to be able to heal teammates with the quickness now, so less time spent repping = less WP's? If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 1346	Posted - 2013.11.05 04:13:00 - [2] - Quote On the bright side, your teammates will die less thus making this a salvage buff, as increasing your teams chance of winning means increasing chances of proper salvage... Also this is pretty spiffy news for all armor tankers, and besides if you can keep your buddy alive easier then you can farm assist/guardian WPs from him longer, so in the end I think of it as a buff... Dead men give no guardian points same with men hiding in cover from a slow repper. Closed Beta Vet Reading the forums detracts from overall enjoyment of the game
Undying Healer GamersForChrist Orion Empire 0	Posted - 2013.11.05 04:15:00 - [3] - Quote Don't believe so, since the Core Focused Repair Tool now has a godly rep rate of just over 100 for dropsuits, and when I use it the triage points are awarded faster, so I assume it's based on armor repaired not time spent repairing.

Interesting. I just got my proto reppers the other day, and haven't had the pleasure of chubby chasing with the core focused yet. I have never noticed a difference in WP from healing between the BDR-8 and the flux repper, yet the BDR-8 reps twice as fast. If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD Public Disorder. 1214	Posted - 2013.11.05 04:24:00 - [7] - Quote Yeah, speed doesn't matter, it's total HP repped. With the changes to rep tools I might actually start using them again. What is a signature?

Greasepalms Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 250	Posted - 2013.11.05 04:25:00 - [9] - Quote means you spend less time reppin and more time killin
I-Shayz-I I-----I 1233	Posted - 2013.11.05 04:30:00 - [10] - Quote I can confirm, as a dedicated user of the repair tool, that you will NOT lose out on any wp with the buff to repair tools. Trust me, unlike the nanite injector, the more health repaired with the repair tool = the more wp gained. So you will only be getting wp FASTER with the new ones, not more or less.

Think if you're willing to pull out the most expensive rep tool in the game and put it on anything with enough armor missing to give you at least 2 triage you'll see what I mean

There are no rewards for being top of the leaderboard. Correct, but earning WP's is the only way to get an orbital(s). Not sure I understand your point? Because you're complaining that a faster repair rate gets people back to full armor faster, thus netting fewer WP in the end. As I said, it's not about getting first, it's about doing everything you possibly can to help your team. Dunno what it is for you, but I'm gonna guess that being in RND, you were told that the only role that matters is killing. For me, it's taking on enemy vehicles and infantry with my various tanks. I can also do it with PRO forges and ADV swarms. I also have ADV equipment and PRO rep tools. Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me, such is the motto of the anti vehicle infantry.

After the health buffs, a standard basic Heavy suit with no modules at all and Core Armor 5 will have over 600 armor. No plates needed.

Broonfondle Majikthies Bannana Boat Corp 394	Posted - 2013.11.05 05:44:00 - [20] - Quote I often rep for some serious heavies. With an Adv triage rep tool it takes an eternity to rep them and I stop getting points about 1/4 the way through. I believe its based on amount repped so is of no consequence - you'd get your points faster, not less. Even if I'm incorrect the rep tool increase is still a blessing, there is a lot more armour out there than previous builds "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!"

You really need to just come forward and tell us who it was in RND that touched you inappropriately, lol. Also, it's funny that you mention teamwork, yet your signature says something completely different. If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
XxGhazbaranxX The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 508	Posted - 2013.11.05 06:32:00 - [22] - Quote Real logi bros don't care about the warpoints. I keep repping even If I'm capped from repping. I put nanos down, Uplinks, revive people. All this is what being a logibro means. If you want more warpoints use a scanner. Those 15 per sqd kill adds up in the end and will more than make up for the loss you will sufer from this great buff to repping tools which where, in my opinion, not very usefull to keep my heavy alive, unless using the core or the BDR-8 triage ( 4 reps less than the std proto ). although you make a very interesting point Plasma Cannon Advocate
Kasote Denzara A Vulture 671	Posted - 2013.11.05 06:36:00 - [23] - Quote A logibros job is not to drop orbitals, but instead keep his team from being biomassed. If an orbital is dropped because of that logibro keeping everyone up and fueled for the fight, that's a plus. My point of view, anyways, from the longtime running of being a friendly logibro. I go commando in my Commando. Feels good, man.

Off topic, but thank you for the 10 million ISK earlier, by the way. I gave 4 million to John for his charity raffle, another 1 million or so to an assortment of players, donated 1.5 million to my Corporation and have thus far kept the remaining 3.5 million for myself.
