DUST Search - Warbarge strikes are too easy to get

I have a better idea.

First, increase the WP required for a Warbarge Strike. These things should be used as "game changers" as opposed to a win button used to exacerbate stomping. The requirements for one are 2500WP simply because squads used to only have 4 people, and there weren't nearly as many ways to earn WP as we have now.

I do agree with removing the ability to gain WP earned from the Warbarge. The average strike gets about 10 kills, which leads to about 500WP. If you have the squad members repair the leader that squad can earn up to 2250WP from the Guardian action, and when you have everyone scan the area before dropping the Warbarge, the squad can earn 750WP from Intel Kill Assists.

That alone is 3575WP, which can grant a squad yet another Warbarge Strike and still leave them with a spare 1075WP (that's half of the WP required for another Warbarge Strike mind you).

However, I do believe there should be a small reward for using the Warbarge Strike, as you are contributing to the team by using one. I think 100-150WP for Warbarge Deployment would seem fair.

I'd say 7200 WP would be the best.

That way every member of the squad would have to make at least 1200 WP to get one.

My 0.02 ISK on Warbarge Strikes.

Yes, make OBS something tactical and special again. Eve pilots pay should increase as well. If you know what a telefrag match is, then I love you.

Indeed it should. I'd give EVE Pilots a higher incentive to support DUST Mercs, and serve to strengthen the pathetic EVE/DUST link. They used to be tactical in beta and kind of special but now any vet squad can easily rinse the sht out of newbs with 6 OBS and sometimes more. Its just cheap now.

This is an old topic that we shouldn't revisit again, for the 5th time. Let it go bro. If you knew anything then you'd know that around the 100th times a charm. In dust so far, anything that's bitched about enough gets implemented/broken lol. If you know what a telefrag match is, then I love you. The tritanium I sell is more relevant than dust has ever been.
