"Well, that's a good thing, dip****", I hear you all say as you read the title. "Why is this a problem," you ask.
Have you ever noticed the metric ****-tons of drop uplinks that are spammed all across the map in Domination games? There is nanohive spam around supply depots, but only around supply depots, whereas drop uplinks are spread across the map. This is because it is so easy to earn a huge amount of WPs off of uplinks. On the other hand, getting +10 WPs from a nanohive when somebody comes by and takes about 50% of the nanite capacity does nothing to encourage use of nanohives. There would be a hell of a lot more nanohives if you actually benefited from using them.
Does anybody have a problem with nanohive spam? I'd love if it happened, to be honest. It'd be great if I could not run out of ammo and run to the supply depot, just to find out the supply depot was destroyed for some easy WPs by a tanker. (The Dust world revolves around WPs, it would seem) If just one guy used some damn nanohives I would have been able to keep myself alive and repping all the wounded armor tankers out there, but sadly I die on a regular basis for this reason.
Why don't we give nanohives some love and increase WP gain from them? +15 per cycle would be a good place to start, but the low WP amount isn't the biggest problem, it's the length of a cycle. Like I said earlier, people can use my nanohives, take a majority of the nanites, and I will be, at the very most, 30 WPs richer. What's up with that? I fill a guy's ammo up all the way from empty to full, and I get less points than two cycles of triage. That guy would have died if he hadn't gotten ammo, even worse, in the time he spent before he died, he'd be statistically useless. Reduce the cycle time as well.
On a side note, it would be awesome if nanohives didn't out-perform my repair tool. This is the most backwards logic I've ever seen. Nanohives are primarily designed to resupply ammo, but they are both more effective and more rewarding if you use them to repair armor instead. Maybe reduce their repair power significantly along with the WP earned buff.
Tl;dr, Increase WP payout from nanohives, decrease time between the cycles of WPs rewarded. Nerf armor repair rate of nanohives.
SP Sinks? Fixed.
