tribal wyvern ZionTCD Legacy Rising 673	Posted - 2012.10.10 07:50:00 - [1] - Quote As I mentioned in the irc update by iron wolf.............. To prevent earning WP or boosting/farming just make it so you can't repair damage OR can't earn WP by repairs to a vehicle etc that was self/squad/team inflicted. This simple fix would prevent the onslaught of precision strikes/orbital bombardments. No need for too many ridiculous tweaks to prevent farming, too many tweaks to keep the noobs happy will break this game.

So what happens if you are out in the field and have sustained damage from enemy attacks, you manage to escape by the skin of your teeth, albeit by crashing into some obstacles in your panic to save your beloved vehicle. The last damage received would be registered to you, the player, rendering you or your team-mates incapable of making repairs. I know you can apply repair modules to vehicles but when you are first starting out the expense is too great.

So if you killed 10-20 players and then retreat to safe zone to repair, you should not receive WP why exactly? It's quite strange to force players to repair their vehicles in danger zones only.

Simple idea ? yes. And there's a big difference.

I think you miss understood me. It stops farming for wp inside the safe zone and on these big maps there are plenty of safe places to hide and repair. It's an idea I feel is echoed across the forums. If you repair in the safe zone you just don't get the wp points for the 'repair' you still get your kill wp...
carl von oppenheimer Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 158	Posted - 2012.10.10 10:03:00 - [10] - Quote Easy fix to all possible SP exploits = full passive SP but I doubt the console crowd would eat that and the fact that this is an FPS game where people expect immediate rewards; unlike in MMO's where certain amount of waiting for progression is to be expected.

E-Dino Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2012.10.10 10:06:00 - [11] - Quote how about repairs give only SP and not WP? or Orbitals strikes need both a client from dust and a client from eve to activate?

I meant that if you got damaged while killing enemies/providing other support to your team, you shouldn't be punished by repairing in "wrong" place. It's too artificial. You want to repair in the most safest place on a map. It's a natural instinct. Here is my idea in the other thread.

SP and ISK is what repairs actually wants. WP is only intermediate points which reflect how much SP/ISK you get.
