I would appreciate it if you could get warpoints for teamwork that will often go unoticed.

You know stuff like

SUPRESSION +15 WP
Stop an enemy suit from finishing off a friendly.
Triggered when an enemy you shoot at is forced to break of an engagement for more than 3 seconds against a friendly suit with less than 20% eHP remaining.

DIVERSION +5 WP
Draw attention to yourself, so your team can capatilize on a flank.
Triggered when an enemy is killed by a friendly, whilst they are engaging you or upto 0.5 seconds after.
This on most occasions supplement your assist.

SAVIOUR +20 WP
Save a teammate from certain death
Triggered when you kill an enemy who is engaging a teammate who has less than 20% eHP remaining
This is effectively a better version of SUPPRESION and will supplement your kill nicely.

HONOUR GUARD +15 WP
Don't let anyone touch a hair on his head
Triggered when you kill someone who is aiming/engaging a friendly who has more than 90% of their eHP remaining.

FOCUSED FIRE +5 WP
Safety in numbers, your more deadly when you stick together
Triggered when you or a friendly with 10m of yourself, kill an enemy. This will complement your kill or Assist but you must recoeve one of these to obtain the bonus.

I like it, but I have most been trying for ideas that already have a similar mechanic implemented elsewhere in-game(except for my scanner idea). I hate to say it but we would most likely only get to see this in "Hotfix Tango" or later.

Get points for damage. Heavies do a lot of damage but don't always close the deal due to it being a very unique support role, i.e. you're a distraction, and or point defense, the people that flank are more likely to close the deal because after you damn near destroy someone they take cover almost dead and are promptly shot by your flanking units, heavies DO get screwed and points for damage dealt would help rectify that.

It's not quite the "All or nothing" AV vs. V situation we've had forever where as a AV gunner you have to blow your magazine to stop the oncoming vehicle (and probably get ganked by supporting infantry). Even though I'm Johnny McFatsalot I can't say i think this wouldn't give fatties an unfair advantage over other suits in WP payouts.

You know, the 75 meter standoff from building to cover/building where people just shoot and nobody makes a move. Level 4 Forum Warrior Very, very bitter vet PSN: wbrom42

You know, the 75 meter standoff from building to cover/building where people just shoot and nobody makes a move. I would encourage fighting as opposed to farming. That is something I would love, because what I say to heavies I have never repaired before is "Don't be stupid, do what I tell you(informing them of people attacking me or that they are low health), and don't be a *****." I love being in the middle of the fight, deaths and all. Nothing I say is meant to offend... unless you're stupid. - Mr. Welch

This would allow for Slayers to compete with Logistics and AVers in terms of WP gain. As it currently stands, you need to have 50 kills just to come close to what we gain.

Can we get wp for dying by any chance and can we get wp for joining and leaving matches. Cheers. My hometown beat Manchester united. Git gud man utd. 4-0

So logis and av'ers get the WP, slayers get the kdr, I guess that means I will still (perpetually) be at the top of the killboard thanks to my WP, and get the insane amount of money that comes with. It was merely a selfless suggestion to possibly help even out the killboards and the payouts, ( literally never knew that anyone EVER earn less than 200k) so why don't you stop trying to kill whatever respect I had for you and say something ******* constructive and save the snark for page 5 and later.

Jace Kaisar 89	Posted - 2014.09.03 21:56:00 - [8] - Quote I believe we have something similar already. It's called Kill Assists. Honestly Orion, WP for drop suit damage is a bit over the top. Damage for vehicles was included due to the fact that vehicles were and remain hard to flat out kill. They tend to escape very easily and WP for damaging them works because by harming them, you can remove them from the field, which is KIND of like killing them (without asset loss KD/R loss but whatever). The main problem with this is the potential for boosting. Not only that, but the general WP would go through the ROOF, since you damage dropsuits while killing them. Taking it even farther, you have to remember that HP varies so much you would have a hard time nailing down a number. Make it more than 300 and you would never get it for scouts. Make it less and all of the sudden we are farming heavies for WP. There is just too many problems and variables for it to be a viable source of WP I'm a Spooky Scary Ghost Before you ask, yes this is me.
Atiim 11833	Posted - 2014.09.03 22:35:00 - [9] - Quote Anyways, how about a compromise? Basically, you'd receive additional points for Kills and Kill Assists against a player who was damaging your teammate. That way, you're encouraged to help cover your teammates and protect Logis AVers, Speed Hackers, etc; even if they're not in your squad. Yes? No? Maybe So? DUST 514's 1st Matari Commando -HAND
