The notes state:

"Added a Guardian War Point bonus, for every War Point earned within 50 meters from an Objective, an additional 25% War Points are granted."

So hacking a letter now grants 125 WP's? Is this right?

Kills 62.5 WP's near an objective? Assists 31.25 WP's etc.

Does this encourage more Objective camping?

Also:

"Nanite Injectors now grant differing War Points (WP) per successful revive: STD/ADV/PRO = 30WP/60WP/90WP."

So proto revives within 50m of a letter will grant 112.5 or 113 WP's? That's a lot.

So will we see more needles meaning more proto rigs on the battlefield as players feel more confident they won't lose it?

You say objective camping as if that's not what everyone is supposed to be doing in skirm/dom... all this would do is reward players that actually try to win as opposed to the guys running around the outskirts looking for easy kills. Snipers are snipers... I snipe and I'm perfectly cool with not having the most WP when I snipe... Why? Because I'm at the lowest risk of death and in turn isk loss. I can see complaints SP wise with the broken sp/s but that is supposed to be fixed at some point... I hope.

They also, if it isn't already in the works, need to limit the ability for AV to be awarded points for a vehicle they haven't destroyed... much like the rep limit on logis.

I am pretty sure it is based on your location, not your target's location. This should be encouraging players to actually be in range of the point. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

Its funny I actually recommended something like this almost a year ago so I am excited to see how it plays out. This along with the new orbitals is going to be very interesting.

No one said the bonus is applied only when you are defending, it talks about "an objective", so I guess it can be blue or Red. One of the few assaults you'll find in a PC match!

Why do players feel the need to hop into a thread and lecture others like everyone else is an idiot but them? So the strategy should always be everyone, all 16, clumped within a 50m radius of the letter in Dom? No one hacking CRU's, destroying enemy up links, playing offensively pushing the enemy back, keeping supply depots blue etc etc? What about after the orbital gets dropped on everyone? No, objective camping for WP's is not what everyone should be doing which is why I expressed the concern. "Stay gold, Ponyboy..."
