I can't wait for 1.7 and the ability to easily see friendly health bars again.

HOWEVER there is still something that needs to be addressed and hasn't been. As it is there still needs to be something done about the diminishing returns of using higher level repair tools on the battlefield in terms of WP gain. Me using a better repair tool with a higher infantry repair rate means I'm still getting less WP gain because repair is awarded based on duration of healing when it really needs to be tied to the amount of healing administered. Higher level repair rates require less time needed to heal up a Clone and as a result I get less WP for doing my job more effectively.

Better repair tools just give you wp faster. I even have a video proving this.

WP for repair tools is definitely based on armor repaired, not time spent repairing.

I suppose they removed it because the new WP cap on exploits would prevent too much WP gain, but right now the more challenging the opposition, the more WP I get because there are more depleted armour bars to repair. If you've scanned the enemy for a squad member and you're repairing them as they kill the scanned enemies, you get the same amount of points, plus any triage points you happen to acquire from armour damage. Add this to team resupplying points, team spawning points, and the occasional kill or kill assist, and I've been topping the leaderboard at 0-0 with whole orbitals from myself. I need a squad to support though. Without one I'm useless. "..things that some people frankly don't even get the chance to do in real life, because it's poorly designed." -Veigar

If anything it would be a smart move by the Devs to end the Logi persecution in the name of anti-orbital farming. "She may not be Miss Right but she'll do right now," Thank you SR-71

Remember that topic about WP gained from kill streaks diminishing and then they hot fixed it? Probably in the same neighborhood. I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

Yeah I noticed this last night actually, though I dont know if the cap has just been increased significantly or if they actually removed it, further testing would need to be done. It makes sense actually, the buff to the HP Recharge Rate of the Repair Tool was an indirect nerf to the amount of triage points one could potentially make from one armor depleted merc, this change makes it so that the Repair Buff wouldn't act as an indirect nerf to my overall WP Gain during the course of the match. Beyond that I love that my repairing of teammates and actually doing my job as a logi isnt being arbitrarily cut off at random moments. Probably my favorite change of 1.6 HOWEVER there is still something that needs to be addressed and hasn't been.

Actually you get the same amount of wp no matter what repair tool you're using. Trust me, I just played a match and got 7k+ wp using the core focused... Better repair tools just give you wp faster. I even have a video proving this. It's the nanite injectors that give you the same amount of wp no matter which tier you use and how much armor you heal with them.

This would be news to me as it certainly wasn't the case in earlier builds of the game. Got a link to the video?
