Because way back in Closed beta players found ways to endlessly farm points and were able to do it very easily. This lead to excessive Orbital Drops, we're talking like 20+ in a match. I'd rather not go back to that.

I thought CCP removed the cap for triage? Or have they brought it back? I stopped playing logi with 1.8 so I don't know.

Remove the cut instead you can do one of this:

a) remove guardian war points from OB (i still see 5 ppl reping the SL when he drops the OB)

b)limited guardian war points from OB only to 1 person.

Other idea for preventing useless war point farming:
Make every time only the first one with the repair tool get war paints all repair tools work but only the first guy gets the points.

The tactical advantage to keep you teammate alive with multiple remote repair tools is reward enough. Making it that the first one gets the WP end not the most powerful helps new players get SP.

NO.

There have been times when i've been following a heavy,pull out my rep tool to heal them only to find a scout with a basic rep tool has beat me to it.Yet i still use mine because if i don't the heavy would die.
And you want me to get 0 rewards for it?

What your suggesting would effectively make my 25k+ investment for my Pro level rep tool worthless.
And i'm a Min Logi,the one that's actually meant to heal

NO.

The Repair tool Is what attracted me to this game. the idea of never having to fire your gun ever. The fact that you could turn a battle around solely from healing and reviving. The only game I ever played that was like that was Mag. I thought this game would put its own unique twist on that but instead it spits In the face of all dedicated healers. All because of some stupid Orbital attack. CCP this isn't right. Why have you changed this system yet? I need someone from CCP to tell me directly. I want to continue playing this game and I want to support it. If the game is going to continue going this way no one will want to be a healer.

All they have to do is make it so you cant get an ob with heal points. You did not read my post did you? How about I take away your points for killing and hacking. I bet you will love that. CCP get rid of the cap. It needs to go. Im not going to stop posting about this. Im tired of getting the short end of the stick as a healer.

The heavy has the advantage of both repair tools.
Your reward is your heavy will live longer make more kills. Its a tactical reward.

Even with the cap, healer logis have a disproportionately high WP value compared to other players. I don't see a huge problem with the cap at this time. If healer logis are ever undervalued in WP, they can always nudge the cap upwards, but there's no need to at this juncture.

(I say this as someone who does a lot of healer logi'ing.)

The only thing that makes sense is that if you lock to one person for an extending amount of time, you get diminishing WP.. i.e instead of hitting the cap the amount of WP slows down, probably in some parabolic fashion.

But because nothing else makes sense in this game I will say, Dear OP, get gud... the cap is there because you as a 'healer' would abuse getting unlimited WP. The rep tool already automatically puts you in first place, why do you need more?

Keep giving ideas you guys! But also make sure the idea results in getting rid of the stupid wp cap please.

When I'm glued to a heavy I regularly pull 3k WP.
I spend more than half the match capped.

Try shooting people. A kill seems to reset the counter.

It doesn't,there is an overall WP cap.

You are like my Dust twin. :)
Valor on MAG?

As a proto mini logi, I believe I have some experience in repping. I haven't hit the cap in a long time, it does seem like I only get rep points in combat... then again, I may just be dying before I can hit the cap, as the mini logi is pretty weak ehp wise.

Why is it that every time we start healing people our exp gets cut off. we should not have to go look for someone to kill so we can continue to gain exp from healing. And to make things worse you made a dedicated healing suit. how can you expect anyone to be a healer if you keep taking away the money that they worked hard for? Every match I play I am always the only healer. Its because nobody wants to deal with the exp cap. If you get rid of that cap more people will want to be healers. Also do not allow points from healing to count towards and ob. that will keep the whining kill players happy and I will help us healer logis.

Agree, if WP from rep is cut by 20 points.

(Triage will grants : 5 WP, but endlessly.)

The cap needs to go so dedicated healers can benefit. At the same time we have to find a way to get rid of stat padding assault players who use the logi suits.

I dont care about stats but that cap needs to go. the only game in the world that puts a cap on healers is this game. and get good? Really? i dont play to kill like you. I play to heal and revive. all of my money comes from that ok. The cap needs to go so dedicated healers can benefit.

I think you're still confused. War Points have close to no effect on how much ISK or SP you make in a match, so you're not losing any benefit from the cap. All it prevents you from doing is farming orbitals.

Says an ignorant non-logi.
Tell ya what,you go do it for a few matches,them come back here and report to us how many times you were killed first for simply being a logi.
Then try it with a rep tool.

Jesus christ man. You-¦re so obnoxiously whiney, I woudnt let you in six kin radius of my bumblebee ass.
Next you complain that militia-sticking and standart-repping is more WP efficient than proto prod and hands of jebus.

You really dont need more WP than that, believe me.

A lone logi-¦s performance is usually antiproportionally corelated to his teams level of coordination.
A lone logi-¦s duty is to indirecty guide the blueberries with droplinks to a letter, with hives to cover and with reps to victory.

Performing those simple tasks nets you 2k+ WP in a pub match. Thats an OB earned solo, what do you need more?

"A lone logi"! ROFLMAO!!! Go play "lone logi" for a while and see how far you get. Yes, please go run by yourself to that good spot for the uplinks. See how that works out.

Here is an idea that could fix the issues...

1. Make WP earned for triage proportional to how much you repair, such as X amount of armor repaired earns a triage bonus (meaning prototype gains WP faster than standard as they rep faster). Also different values for dropsuits and vehicles would be required for balance to prevent abuse.
2. Separate WP for triage and guardian (25 WP for triage, 10 WP for guardian).
3. Divide WP for guardian between all repairers (thus 5 guys repairing squad leader when he calls in orbital results in 2 WP per kill for each repairer).
4. Add a notification of some kind for the guy getting repaired...it is pointless to try to repair the guy that always runs away from you (this is just good for everyone).

Step 4 is optional, but would be greatly appreciated by everyone. The other 3 steps could fix the problem though and allow for removal of the cap. WP rewards could be adjusted to reflect the changes, maybe some other tweaks as well, but this may be a good solution. Feedback would be great.

^THIS^

It is not that I feel I need more WP for what I do, only that I dont want the cap. I usually hit that cap right when the battle is getting really intense and none of know if we will live through it, and I'm having my best repair run ever - .... and then it all stops. That small reward that I get so excited over leaves and I'm left with no reward for my contribution.

The rewards should have no cap.
The rewards should increase with repaired amount given (equipment level)
The subject should always know when they are being repped

If there needs to be re-balancing about the war points earned that is acceptable, but the cap is not.
