You must be pretty new here.
History of the Precision Strike Exploit
Once upon a time during the initial release of the Codex build, players have figured out how to farm enough WP fast enough via a combination of repping vehicles that have self-inflicted damage, tagging a "defend" command on a single player and having everyone huddle around him, etc. As a result, precision strikes occurred literally once every minute for the duration of every match. This also gave rise to the term "boosting" in regards to squad leaders. Not to mention the fact that every kill you get via a strike contributes WP to the next strike you get.
Since then, CCP deployed a "temporary" hotfix removing WP gains via repairs until they can figure out a long term solution to the problem. Once the problem is solves, repairing buddies should then once again give you WP. Hopefully we might see that happen in the coming build. |

Yes, I still repair... but i'm a little sad every-time i don't see any wp bonuses pop up. and it has been months. The new build will be a mecca of change I hope. |

You are now in the company of the most mechanically exploitive people in the world. eve players. Our ability to find holes in game mechanics is nigh unto terrifying. stuff like you suggest will be implemented whenever CCP figures out how to keep us from breaking the mechanics for maximum payout. become like us to make the game better. by pointing out these exploits as holes that need plugging so the play improves. |

i can't tell if it's because i've been repairing or because i've been sticking to my sqaud in order to repair and ending up with more WP and less deaths.

Honestly we won't be able to tell directly if there is a correlation until we actually have Repair Tools that will earn WP.
Keep the faith. |

I repair when in a big match with lots of people because keeping my 3-6 teammates at [A] on Manus Peak alive and well keeps ME alive when we're being pressed by half the other team.
I may have only picked up 300WP from revivals, but in one of the most intense 4-min I've ever had in this game, keeping those other guys alive saved my own skin as well as securing a very tight victory. Sure they could bleed out and die and respawn, but that would be 15 seconds out of combat... and enough people doing that means you're gonna lose that objective if the enemy is pushing as hard as they were.
The orb strike at the end was a cherry on the cake though, even if I did little to contribute to obtaining it directly, I like to imagine if I hadn't been there we'd have been forced out and probably even lost the match. |
