Logi could certainly use some love for the sake of us that "do logi" As it is, I'm not certain why it was added as a specialty in this game.
Passive armor rep is the way to go, it was a bug to be able to remote rep yourself.
Marking on the map a little better where someone calls for a revive would be nice. Maybe a blue pulsing dot or something. A team healthbar would be alright as well with the ability to mouse-over the bar to highlight their location on map.
Players having no motivation to value logi and what it potentially brings to the battlefield is another story. There is no Titan to defend, no expensive fleet, no critical asset.
I'll follow a group, sometimes as many as five, and after repping them in a fight, as they fall they instantly choose to respawn with me right behind them. Why wouldn't they? Suits are cheap, even with a loss you can buy 10 more. They'll also run right past nano-hives, and why not? If you plan on dying recklessly, you can respawn with full ammo, and if you aren't reckless, you can stop by a supply depot.
Two things I'd like to see are 1) combat recognition for specialties added to stats. Things like revives for logis, headshots for snipers, crushing kills for drivers, etc. Straight k/d doesn't say a lot and anyone that does logi in this game or in Eve knows that we are like idiot savants.. everyone wants one to do their math homework, but there's no glory in it. 2) It would be nice if you got no reward for losing a match. Motivate people to group up and coordinate. Add value to the suit you're in and make it worth protecting.
Then again, this is a mainstream FPS.. |

Kalahari, I've been debating switching to the same loadout, for the same reasons.
My ideal suit would be a heavy, loaded up on tank so I could charge through bullets and missiles to revive a fallen comrade, but what's the point if they respawn? It's also a bummer that you can do a heavy sniper fit, but not a heavy logibuddy..
So far I've done variations of those three but always kept an injector.. that rarely gets used. Time to switch. |
