Just tested the overheat bypass. Yes it works, and one other thing I noticed in the video I was scared was the case. After you cancel the animation, you can unload the rest of the mag without it overheating. Video of the test will be posted in the bug submission thread.

It has already been posted in bugs several times.

I did search, but the search feature for this forum suck. Tried SCR + Bypass, Overheat + bypass, Bypass alone etc. Turned up nothing

WOOOOOOOW, CCP WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??????

It's called doing what they should have done a LONG time ago.

They put a cap on wp for the repair tool just like they put a cap on your earning potential that all of you proto stompers were complaining about. Us logistics have had to deal with this cap ever since Chromosome to prevent "boosting", and many of us have suggested ways to make the cap better or improve it.

Like I've said in a previous post, if they are going to remove the cap the wp gain should be lowered to 15 wp per triage bonus.

But don't even try to complain about this. You don't see us logistics complaining about how you killers can just rack up as many points from kills as you want without restriction. There were a few "boosting" instances where eventually CCP had to add a cap to the game, and all of you killers went around the forums yelling at CCP for earning reduced warpoints.

You guys had to deal with it for maybe a month at most. We've been dealing with our cap for 6 months to a year. Just let us stretch our logi muscles again and prove that there are more viable ways of playing than using a nokickautomaticsniper with a stacked suit.

7000+ WP
50k+ SP (on a triple SP event)

Cool.

By playing a sniper, I have to do approx. 10 solid matches to grind that kind of SP. Or, I would need to solo-win that domination game with clone depletion by doing (almost) all the kills myself.

The balance in this game is hilarious.

P.S: Yes, I know, nobody gives a flying **** about what some sniper thinks about game balance. We should just be happy with what little we can achieve because we have the almighty redline to protect us.

As a sniper you fall into the same category that Heavies do...limited wp potential.

It's also called risk vs reward. As a sniper you risk very little by keeping yourself away from combat, so your reward is limited. At the range you are at, the only thing that can counter you is another sniper.

The heavy on the other hand has to risk a lot, yet still has a low wp potential (only able to earn kills and kill assists) similar to a sniper.

However, a good squad leader who backs up their squad overlooking the area they're defending, putting up defend orders, giving good communication, and pushing the enemy back...that's how the sniper roll should be played best.

OK, I'll accept that your "risk vs reward" point makes sense. But, logibro (a true logibro) isn't exactly on the front row either. He's a little behind supporting frontline troops. Yet, match to match, it's logis that earn most WP, and most SP. I mean, did you watch that video? The amount of WP he farms by keeping one guy alive?!?! It's beyond ridiculous.

Just today, someone posted on (yet another) "snipers suck" thread, that snipers are useless because "all they do is kill", and kills mean very little in terms of victory objectives. However, when a logi farms insane amounts of WP by preventing one guy from getting killed, he's what? Making a significant difference on the outcome of the battle?

And how about me removing all those uplinks and nanos from the field? A smartly placed uplink can have a significant impact on the outcome of the battle. However, reward for that is measly 5 WP. LOL.

You're right about one thing though... heavies are getting shafted even more than snipers.

And sorry for the rage.

Well in that special case he made a difference. He keeps one guy alive and earns nearly three orbitals on his own. Apart from that he resuplied the team on the frontline and saved some clones by reviving his teammates. That is a lot of support for one guy.

If I remember correctly we dominated the match from the beginning well until his squad started to rain hell on us by 8 orbitals, that and the support on the frontline enabled his team to hold A long enough that they nearly were able to win the match. In fact it was pure luck that we were able to clone them out.

Regarding the risk vs reward thing although he was slightly behind the direct frontline he puts himself in danger of incoming fire. If thats enough to justify the possible WP income is another story.

But I have to say well played :)

No, sorry, I played with a Logi vk.1 back on chromosome and aside from the unnecessarily high speed and maneuverability, the rep tools never needed a buff as the HP/s rep was fine and the WP gained from it too since I was doing other logi stuff. This buff to rep tools together with the addition of core focused in Uprising is plain stupid and should've never happened. Yet you actually wrote to post in my quote as if it were somewhat ok to gain 7000 WP in a match. This preposterous WP gain leaves so much room for exploit and PRO Rep tools as it is now gives God Mode to infantry, this isn't balance.

Were you getting Guardian points for repping the guy dropping the OB? If so, that's kinda lame. Otherwise, awesome match.

YO - any attention to this from CCP?

What do you mean? About the video? The things I did in the video?

Will CCP fix the things described by Xi Vi few posts earlier...

F all the haters Shayz. I am not a logi but I can appreciate a good one! Well played Sir... you have newberries everywhere skilling into rep tools now!
