I remember a time when we got wp for scanning enemies, I recently got back into equipping active scanners so tell me, did it get changed so u only get wp when a squad mate kills the target or what? Because I'm not getting wp when someone kills the targets, at least when im playing solo.
I did once get and intel kill assist when I scanned a tank and a squad mate killed it...

Ya they have to be squad members in order for you to get the Intel bonus. Thanks for giving scans though! That's always appreciated, as long as its not me that's getting scanned
Hello? any one there?

When you consider that uplinks and hives award their owner with points whenever any member of thier team makes use of them (and in the case of uplinks, it's a pretty hefty return), I fail to see why a scanner can't earn points from kills made by the entire team, and not just the squad. +10 WP per kill whilst actively scanned, as opposed to the +15 wp for kills earned both during and shortly after a scan, seems fair for an act that prevents the scanner from doing anything else whilst they're using the equipment.

There would be a huge boom in the use of active scanners, with everyone using Flux Scanners to catch the "lowest hanging fruit" in terms of general suit scan profiles.
I don't think having the entire enemy team lit up due to 10 players all running active scanners for the WP would improve the quality of the game. If anything, I think it would take away from the situational importance of passive scanning. I think that WP for squad kills are fine. If you're in a good squad, I'd argue that you'd get a very significant WP return for the equipment's use

WP earned from active scanners was abysmal in comparison to the vast amounts that can be earned from a well placed uplink or rep tool. Admittedly, it could lead to scan spam of old, but the balance can be found in tweaking scanners to be more focused in there application; I see them as short ranged, tight angle room sweepers as opposed to the current point and sweep to find the enemy's general location tools that they are now.
The presence of scans can and should be countered by damps. I see nothing wrong in paying the price for pretending that ewar is a myth to be disregarded in favour of pure brick-tankin your suit.

I agree with this, no other class of Logi is restricted to squad only play for the use of their race's main equipment for WP. I don't see any reason why Scanners would be restricted for earning WP on the Gal Logi as a result. If I can stick to a heavy thats constantly being pelted by enemy fire and farm up WP another person should be able to rack up intel kill assists for his contribution to the eWar of his team.

"Intel Kill Assists" still apply to squad kills.

I agree, i don't understand why not give them, maybe less than what you get from squad assist, it's like if rep tool doesn't give WP for people outside your squad.

Intel kill assists should be awarded for kills by anyone in the team, not just your squad.
Firstly because wps from active scans are quite rare, you hardly earn any off scanning, especially compared to the amount you get out of other equipment.
Secondly, warpoints are awarded on the principle that you should be rewarded for helping win. Providing scans is very valuable for your whole team, therefore you should be rewarded when it helps your team get a kill, not just when it helps your squad.
I find it unlikely to cause mass spam. |
