This topic has been brought up a handful of times already. I'm not the first to post this, but I have my own idea of what the best point values would be. It'd be good to get a consensus.
I feel the WP reward for using different equipment should be tweaked, based on: how difficult a piece of equipment is to use properly, and how much it helps your team.
To me, +10 WP per resupply is too low. Especially considering you have finite hives, and nobody is even guaranteed to use them in the first place. And compare that to the rep tool: Easiest equipment to use by far, and it rewards +25 points per second... per... second. Put a squad order on the Heavy and it's +37 WP per second! Plus you get +42 'Guardian' points for every kill the heavy gets!
What are Nanohives, chopped liver? Anyways, here's the numbers I think would work best, give your thoughts and let me know what you think. Only listing stats I would change.
TRIAGE: +15 WP Too easy to print thousands of WP for something that's really not hard to do at all
GUARDIAN: +25 WP I don't feel a Guardian should be any more valuable than an Assist
RESUPPLY: +15 WP As mentioned above, hives are a great help to a team, and the players dropping them should be rewarded more considering their finite supply.
HACK START +25 (When you finish hacking the terminal)
HACK COMPLETION: +75 (When the point turns blue)
LAV DESTRUCTION: +100
HAV DESTRUCTION +150
DS DESTRUCTION +200
INSTALLATION HACK +50
Who cares what some sniper has to say.

I agree with everything, but I would adjust a few things.
Hack Completion 100 WP LAV Destruction 60 WP LAV Damage 30 WP
I'm also debating whether HAV Damage WP should be increased due to the fact they take longer to kill.

I don't agree with your triage WP assessment. The WP's for Triage are high because logi players die. A lot. Their suits are incredibly expensive if they do the job well and they have to be in the thick of the action to do the job. The WP totals that they can earn don't symbolise how easy it is to do, but how risky and expensive it is to do.
If we're going with risk-free then should you not have proposed dropping the WP on sniper kills from the redline by half? |

Thanks for the feedback.
I disagree though that Logi's die anymore than other classes. It depends on the player. I've run Logi enough to know this.
If I have a good Heavy squad mate, and I go full-rep mode, under the right circumstances I can get 4500+WP, while usually being able to count my deaths on one hand.
When I see 4000WP in a game where I barely let go of R1, it just doesn't feel deserved.

All they can do is make lots of WP well.
Don't need the one thing that makes logis worth playing.

If we're going with risk-free then should you not have proposed dropping the WP on sniper kills from the redline by half? Logis arent specifically meant to generate massive amounts of war points. They are meant to support the team. War points should come with this, yes, but Talos raises excellent points on how these points should be rewarded based on the difficulty of the task completed to earn them. Its the same idea as high risk, high reward and low risk, low reward, but just replacing risk with skill. Thanks for the feedback. I disagree though that Logi's die anymore than other classes.

I think guardian should be 25. No more and no less than an assist.
"Destroyed Equipment" should also be scaled relative to the equipment. Nanohives: +5 like it is now Repair Hives: +10, little more valuable Explosives: +15: can be very threatening, but they're usually in groups. Drop Uplink: +35, as they're a very valuable asset

It's also good to note that there are 2 ways to get triage points: I'm in the minority that actually runs a caldari logi with triage hives. I'm not taking any risks with it.
However, I don't think triage hives give WP the same way that rep tools do.

I'd lower spawns to 15. so each racial logi is on equal terms for WP whoring
- Scan Assist = 15WP - Team Spawn = 15WP - Triage = 15WP - Re-Supply =15WP
Guardian could go to 25WP from here I think. Something specifically to help slayers/heavies would be nice - Saviour/Revenge WP maybe??
I fully agree Logi's should be rewarded, but not 2000+ WP more than their team mates average.
Good post, Talos is actually looking into the smaller details that matter to the players on Dust514 +1 CPM may not suit you once CCP tell you it's all impossible but if you stick by your guns, you deserve it. |

Even if Triage was 15 WP it'd still be comparatively better at WP whoring than any of the other options. That and re-supply, just because it is so easy to take damage and shoot bullets.
Team Spawn and Scan Assist should give more, IMO, as it doesn't happen nearly as frequently. Sure, Team Spawn and Triage giving the same amount of WP looks good on paper but when you have a dozen spawn positions to choose from, what is the honest to god likeliness of a player spawning on -your- drop uplink, specifically, compared to 15 other players potentially taking armor damage?

Yeah, there will be no nerfing of the logi WP rewards, especially not rep points. The very notion comes from a place of envy about how the leaderboard looks at the end of matches. Get over it.
You non-logis should be happy that you're getting support at all. It's an expensive, dangerous, thankless, and often tedious job that helps everyone else perform better and have more fun. |

Logi has been my primary role since beta. I've racked up over 6500 WP in PC no less from reps and links.
I didn't work 3 times harder than the person beneath me. Slaying in PC is a lot harder than holding R1 all match.
There is valid discussion to be had here.
Simply saying "You non-logi's are just jealous. Get over it" is pretty counter productive. Counter productive discussion isn't rare in the forums, but I would expect more from someone who is supposed to represent the community.

I run them as well. You get a bonus for Armor repair only (you'd think Cal logi would want something for shield replentishment, don't you?). I normally use them on my Calmando for self repair but I believe if a teammate heals on your hive it is like 15 WP. I know it is lower than the rep tool and they go fast.

I think we should consider decoupling the value of triage from rep tools and triage from hives, just because triage from hives is less common/less easy to get. So it would be similar to the difference between team spawn from uplink vs. team spawn from vehicle MCRU, say ~15 WP for triage from rep tool, which I think is reasonable, and 25 (or maybe even buffed to 30-35 WP) for hive triage. |

Again people claiming that everyone who wants WP rewards subject to sanity are not logis.
Well you are wrong. I started out with Gal/Amarr logis and I have Min/Amarr logis at proto now after the free respec a while back. I run logi probably half my games.
And I know Talos is a logi most of the time as well.
Not only are you wrong about the people you are arguing against, you're just wrong about logis in general. They arent helpless, they arent underpowered in some magical way, you are targeted first, but you can exploit positioning to force the enemy to engage your rep target first (I assume you're rep whoring like a scrub since you clearly have no idea how to play logi). And you do not have to stay within 20 meters, you arent chained to the guy.
I dont understand why you are complaining about hives being fire and forget, when uplinks work the exact same way but give huge WP rewards in comparison. You can get 15*25 = ~375 WP out of a high tier uplink, and for the same tier nanohive you'd be lucky to get 50 points out of it before some guy gobbles up all the nanites to refill his grenades. Thats to say nothing of the massive disparity in WP from repair tool vs. any other equipment. Its absolutely absurd that anyone defends the WP gains of that thing (or even the raw performance of it, since the damn things are pretty clearly OP with even rudimentary teamwork). |

I'll be the first to admit that heavy huggers are kind of lame, but they still provide a valid service on the battlefield and their role is extremely dangerous and selfless. It's not a matter of hard work, it's a matter of commitment to service, sacrifice, and winning. Slayers may work hard, but their work is a matter of intended course--they are doing exactly what they want to do, regardless if it helps the team actually win the match. Many logis, myself included, do whatever it takes to keep the match competitive and that often means going out of our way to perform thankless tasks that no one else wants to do with fits that can break the bank.
That aside, this discussion is extremely far afield from the countless number of things that we need to be addressing to make this game better.
I'm sorry if you feel that my tone is unbecoming of a player representative, but when you start talking about nerfing logi rewards I immediately start thinking of all the logis I represent who would expect me to address a proposal like this with extreme prejudice. |

This is a really weird attitude. I logi because I enjoy it. And if its a thankless tasks you need better friends. |
