Kaze Eyrou Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1209	Posted - 2015.01.01 16:48:00 - [1] - Quote To answer Ydubbs's thread on this: Yes, Repair Tools should be able to repair through damage. In most games, a healing role or tool is able to heal a person under attack in some way, so why would this game be any different? Right now, Damage will override Repairs. Do enough to outdamage or alpha strike the enemy being repaired and you will kill them. Explosive kills are even better as they kill and terminate the clone forcing the person to respawn with full timers. After thinking about it for sometime, I wouldn't mind Shield based infantry getting some love with an introduction of a Shield Repair Tool. I will leave the group-think on that to the community though as I would probably stick with my armor Repair Tools. WP is a tool to show a mercenary's battle effectiveness and I don't think it does it well enough. I wouldn't mind seeing War Points split up to show how you achieved those War Points. For example: Slayer War Points - Kills, Kill Assists, Vehicle Kills, and Vehicle Kill Assists Triage War Points - War Points gained from repairs Hacker War Points - War Points gained from hacking objectives and installations Anti-Armor War Points - War Points gained from the damage and destruction of vehicles and installations Support War Points - War Points gained from Team Spawns and Team Resupplies Finally, a Heavy/Logi combo represents teamwork at it's finest. A perfect example to show your skill in this game. CB Vet // True Logi Bro // @KazeEyrou Learning Coalition and RTG Mentor

Except that shield can have have better recharge rate and less anti-shield weapons and more... The difference is that there are tons of anti-shield weapons that have amazing range and a drunk with a Laser Rifle can strip a Caldari Sentinel pretty easy, that shields can be stripped by Flux Grenades, that Complex Shield Extenders are weaker then Militia Armor Plates, that there is no way to get shields back other then by running into the hills hoping no one shoots you since all Nanohives, and Repair Tools do is repair armor. The State will always survive.

Except that shield can have have better recharge rate and less anti-shield weapons and more... Shields have a much lower total buffer, a recharge delay, and the anti-shield weapons that are most effective deal their damage directly, and at higher damage...not to mention flux grenades will almost always take away the entirety of the shield buffer (with a larger AOE than regular grenades). Without a Remote Shield Booster, it is difficult to compare the two defense types correctly. Remember, not all racial weapons exist yet, so expect to see more Amarr and Gallente weapons added to the fray (Hopefully soon)....not to mention I would love to have a flux driver added for the shear utility of it (or EMP Driver if you wanna keep it all Matari) There is a reason why armor is currently the Meta despite the larger number of weapons that counter it All that being said, I think that a Man-Portable Remote Shield Booster should work differently than just a constant rep rate like the repair tool Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.

Also remember we had Infantry Shield Repair in the game before in the form of the Charbydis (I think it was called), the Shield Logistics LAV. It was extremely hard to use, however, and Logistics LAVs became all too infamous "murder taxis". Also, all I said was a Shield Repair Tool; I never specified how it worked. Some people said they wanted a straight boost to their shields, much like how the Armor Repair Tool works. My idea was that it augments the target's shield system, reducing the shield delay and boosting shield regeneration amount. So more like a Repair Tool that does something to the combined effect of a Shield Regulator and Shield Rechargers. But again, my ideas are usually biased toward armor anyways, so that's why I said I would be favorable to a Shield Repair Tool as long as it's balanced.

Indy Strizer Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 236	Posted - 2015.01.01 18:31:00 - [7] - Quote Only annoying thing about rep tools is when there's a full bunch of people with them- especially when they're holed up in an objective. Don't get me wrong, I understand that it's teamwork, we should definitely preserve this playstyle, but the repping logi needs a tweak in my opinion. I know the repper can get flanked, get hit by splash damage and always gets prioritized by enemies... but, how are people supposed to do that in those super tight areas where you can't flank? Think about how powerful two logistics players are in that same area with 8 heavies- repairing them as they switch out. Why use anything else? It ultimately amounts to spam of the two least skill intensive playstyles... Heavies with HMG's and logistics hiding behind a corner holding R1... Repair tools are part of why dealing with heavies is so annoying. I've personally started using a forge gun to breach through all the heavies lately- think about that for a second... I've given up on using my combat rifle or even my own HMG and I'm using a FORGE GUN I think there could be a few more tweaks to them personally... Capacitors... Overheat... Finite repair nanites... Logistics players constantly say that they give up their ability to fire while using the repair tool to make another more powerful, yet they can instantly switch to their own weapon to defend themselves? Well, just add a "switching from equipment to weapon delay" similiar to what they did with the cloaking device. Hell, even a PG/CPU tweak could probably give the logistics players less room for fitting so they become a bit easier to take out.

Logi suits are equal to wet tissue paper now, we die if you give us a dirty look.People like you forget about the logi who saved your precious KDR by repping you, or dropping good uplinks so you could get back in the fight without having to run the map, dropping good hives that don't pop after 3 bullets were taken, and if your pride would allow being picked up with a good pen instead of those dirty needles somany run around with.You seem to have no concept of what it means to be part of a team and your post reflexes your narrow view. This is not COD, and it appears that you are upset that everyone cannot be killed with one shot.

A perfect example to show your skill in this game. I disagree. You are correct in saying that the current damage of our weapons overrides the repair rate of rep tools, but there is more to the story than that, in my opinion. For large armor HP values, I would argue that you would not lose more than 20-25% of your armor to any one person attacking you if you are being repaired while you fight, and that is a large boon in itself. Maybe you won't be at full armor all of the time, but hovering around 50-80% throughout all of your engagements isn't bad at all. I'd actually be curious to know how many players it would take to kill a heavily armored target that is being repped, while the target shoots back. I agree that the Heavy/Logi combo is a nice one, but the work involved in doing that task is not very high. Synergistic would be a better word. I'm not saying that it is easy to logi, or that the Logistics class is without skill, or anything like that. I'm saying that the act of repairing someone is easy, and doesn't take any skill, in that it is very difficult to repair someone "better" than another player. Once you have the lock on someone, you are repairing that target as well as a noob with the same skills and equipment. Obviously there is the matter of maintaining the lock through combat and not getting yourself killed, which is why I said "very difficult" instead of "impossible" to do the task better. If there was some gradient of efficiency for a rep tool - similar to the method of feathering the trigger on heat-based weapons to maximize DPS over time on - then I would be okay with periods of higher rates of repair. But, as the system currently stands, the act of repairing is about as fire and forget as shooting swarms (I have a L5 Minmando with L3 Swarms, for the record). The triage system would require more depth for me to be okay with higher rates of repair Closed Beta Vet (E3 Build), Former PFBHz Best Corps Battled (Personally): Imperfects, TeamPlayers, Hellstorm

You MUST be new . Play logi and then talk about the role , don't just look at what you see others doing as a gage of the strengths and weaknesses . Please don't say that your a Chrome Vet because if that's so then you must have just came back from not playing this game for a LONG time . It's a far different game now . What's with all this Logi hate lately .?. are you people trying to kill the role ???? Edit : Sometimes I think that some of you get complacent in your chat channels and just look for something to do . Please stop this habit , it's ruining the game . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

Indy Strizer Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 236	Posted - 2015.01.02 01:18:00 - [14] - Quote Ultimately, the responses to me amount to nothing more than "You are new, do you logibro? Errmm... Logi, bro? WUTEVA! WUTEVA! I DO WHAT I WANT!" Yes, I have a prototype caldari logistics, but I use the Gallente because it has three equipment slots. Yes, I have a core repair tool. Yes, I have an Imperial A-1 Sentinel suit with tons of plates and a Burst HMG for the sole purpose of getting repped by logistics players. Anyways, here's food for thought... Gallente Logistics can't just indefinitely spam scanners without equipping multiple scanners... Caldari Logistics can't just indefinitely spam nanohives without equipping multiple nanohives... Amarr Logistics can't just indefinitely spam uplinks without equipping multiple uplinks... Yet... Minmatar Logistics have a powerful impact, no a game changing effect on the match with just one rep tool, just one, without ever having to worry about running out, having cooldowns, or having their equipment destroyed by flux grenades. If all the logistics suits could spam what they specialize in infinitely... Gallente Logistics would shut down any e-war or any possibility of getting flanked, remember scanner ballerinas? Yeah, multiply that by infinity and that's what you'd get if scanners were still broken. Amarr Logistics would only need to stay alive and throw uplinks around himself in the objective to keep of players instantly spawning, remember that uplink spam in domination that everyone cried was just an "win button"? Caldari Logistics would be able to throw infinite nanohives at peoples' feet and get easy warpoints... Nevermind throwing fluxes, they'll just lay MOAR nanohives. Not to mention it'd be the easiest point whoring ever... Just throw compact nanohives at peoples' feet the instant they take damage or shoot and bada bing, bada boom- POINTS! Would these situations be balanced? Think about it, the repair tool is broken. It's not that it's become an issue lately, it's always been an issue, I've personally always pointed it out (just not on the forums), but maybe now is the time for a small tweak. I'm not trying to eradicate this playstyle or tactic, I want to see it intact, but don't you think it should require multiple repair tools or greater sacrifices to accomplish?

If you rep with a min logi you would know that after a certain amount of WP you stop gaining WP for a set period of time, yet you still need to keep people repped. See I am a logi and even though my six kin is no longer giving me triage points I still rep my squad and the rest of the team because that is what logis do. Even though I could rep a 100,000 HP in that time that I am not gaining points for it. Rep tools are fine as is now as for point distribution. What they need to fix though is the stutter on them where you have to pull on the trigger 2-3 times before you lock someone. Now that is a rep tool fix I could get behind.

If necessary, maybe have the tool provide a percentage bonus to the recharge rate of the target suit. This would allow for teamplay for shield tanking while keeping them balanced with armor.

Furthermore, there's another imposing factor on receiving Triage points: The ally receiving repairs must have done damage to the enemy within the past 30 seconds. (This might be within the past 60 seconds, but I haven't accurately tested this yet.) I've noticed this when I repaired some of my teammates and received Triage points, meaning I was off Triage cooldown. The Sentinel patient in question was down to about 10% armor. I start repairing him and received no Triage points. At about 50% armor, he lets his HMG go on an enemy and scores some hits. I instantly start receiving Triage points repairing the rest of his armor. Also, you bring up a good point with the current lock on system. It's very buggy and most of the time, the reason I'm consistently running repairs is because I know there's a chance I won't be able to lock on in an instant. A cluster of allies reduces my effective healing as well, since my repair will always lock on to the person that's not in need of repairs. If you want to limit the repair tool and pick up a negative, you must also compromise and let it pick up another positive. Rowdy Railgunner wrote: Anyways, here's food for thought...

So many things wrong with the above comparisons... First off, Gallente Logistics can indefinitely spam scanners with multiple scanners and continue to keep the enemy team permascanned. Caldari Logistics can give a bonus to Nanohives with resupply rate, triage rate, and max clusters bonus, all the while providing that passive bonus with a gun to support the team. Amarr Logistics can give a bonus to Uplinks even when in a vehicle. Shielding themselves in ADS allows them to provide Uplink support while also being a slayer in the air. Problems with AV on the ground? Well placed uplinks can allow you team to spawn in quickly and make quick work of infantry AV. Yet... Minmatar Logistics only provide a bonus to the repair tool in repair amount and repair tool range. I have to worry about the repair beam breaking around corners, frantically reattaching the beam when it does, getting frustrated in allied clusterf*ck situations as the beam bounces around to targets that don't need healing, and be completely vulnerable while I have my repair tool out as I can either repair or provide weaponry support to the team. (Gallente Logistics also deals with this too to an extent.) Perspective. Finally, I find it interesting that you exclude Gallente, Caldari, and Amarr from having repair tools. The way you present your examples shows more to your problem with racial logistical bonuses rather than the repair tool itself. EDIT: Clarified my example with the Gallente Logi.

Bradric Banewolf D3ATH CARD RUST415 605	Posted - 2015.01.02 20:03:00 - [20] - Quote They need capacitors or overheat mechanics. It would fix the situation, and end the arguments. Logis will have to work harder which will earn them some respect. Players will appreciate them a little more without having to nerf the actual suit. Giving them less ehp is fcking retrded. Making them weak because they carry the super tool is selfish, but making the super tool not so super is the smart thing to do. I remember saying all this before, and being called a heretic? If only I could find that post? "Anybody order chaos?"

RayRay James Titans of Phoenix 862	Posted - 2015.01.02 21:25:00 - [21] - Quote Man, it's often appears the only people that come to these threads are people that have never played the logi role before. and I don't mean a $hit logi, I mean one more dedicated on being a force multiplier than a WP printer. Find some of those logis and follow them around. We're never locked on a heavy full time, we have far to many other things to be doing.

I have to worry about the repair beam breaking around corners, frantically reattaching the beam when it does, getting frustrated in allied clusterf*ck situations as the beam bounces around to targets that don't need healing, and be completely vulnerable while I have my repair tool out as I can either repair or provide weaponry support to the team. (Gallente Logistics also deals with this too to an extent.) Perspective. Finally, I find it interesting that you exclude Gallente, Caldari, and Amarr from having repair tools. The way you present your examples shows more to your problem with racial logistical bonuses rather than the repair tool itself. EDIT: Clarified my example with the Gallente Logi. Indy Strizer wrote the second quote in your post, not me. Please edit. Also, I agree that all logis could carry a rep tool and his opinion is definitely biased. Let's be honest here though, if you are a heavy you want min logi repping you. I know when I play amarr sentinel I do. Min logi 5 makes my ISK fit logi with a standard reptool act like an ADV no problem on my 'SEVER' suit.

It would fix the situation, and end the arguments. Logis will have to work harder which will earn them some respect. Players will appreciate them a little more without having to nerf the actual suit. Giving them less ehp is fcking retrded. Making them weak because they carry the super tool is selfish, but making the super tool not so super is the smart thing to do. I remember saying all this before, and being called a heretic? If only I could find that post? "Why don't we make Dust just like COD?" OHKs? No reps because having to think hurts your brain? You admit the suit is garbage so you target the one thing it has going for it,the equipment. Ok,let's nerf all weapons to compensate. From this point forward you can only shoot 2 bullets with every gun before it overheats for 15-30 seconds. Sounds stupid right? I'm amazed players can see the stupidity when it comes to weapons,but not when it comes to equipment. Official Blueberry of the Forums. Title given by my #1 fan Sgt Kirk.

If only I could find that post? First off this isn't COD. A support class exists for a reason. I do not slay therefore supporting the slayers, heavies and scouts us what gets me points and isk. If I as a logi fail that role I would be a slayer like you! With your attitude I do not require or care for your respect. You plan on carrying all that equipment to keep the dream going?

Healing hives have a certain amount of nanites before they pop. It would be interesting for a repair tool to switch out "clips" or "drums" of nanites before they can continue repairing their allies. I think that would change gameplay for the better.

That seems fair. Bradric Banewolf wrote: They need capacitors or overheat mechanics. It would fix the situation, and end the arguments.

This idea is dumb and you should feel bad for thinking it would fix anything.

In most games, a healing role or tool is able to heal a person under attack in some way, so why would this game be any different? . which fps allows you to rep while you're taking damage?
