Also, could we get a bonus for killing players while they're hacking? |

I haven't seen any devs talk about a WP reward for killing someone trying to hack an installation, but they did say we will get points for counter-hacking. Is that what you were referring to?
As for my first suggestion, it's just like Kagehoshi said: someone with a 5+ killstreak is probably a considerable threat, so it would make sense to get extra WP for removing them from the field, even if it's only temporary (the squad order bonus doesn't really count, since it applies to every player you kill, even if they aren't a threat). |

You can suggest different criteria if you feel that rewarding players for taking out enemies with high killstreaks is a bad idea (example: +10 WP for killing someone with X amount of points). |

Right now i don't have thought any numbers, but only a general picture of how it should work.
A bounty system would be also good.
Agreed. I wonder if CCP created the Templar Manhunt event to see how a bounty system would work in practice. |

No. Your bonus is that you don't have to counterhack or rehack the objective, and possibly win the game by saving your MCC the damage from the hit. Killing someone who's hacking is just how you win the game. Do you also want points for killing an enemy who is firing? Who was moving towards your team/objectives?
Every action that nets you war points can help you win the game, does that mean CCP should remove those rewards? |

Who said anything about removing anything? I was saying that we shouldn't get extra WP for every little action.
But if killing someone while they're hacking is how you win the game, as you said, then it's hardly a little action. |

And I already told you what your rewards were for that kill.
When you kill an enemy, the other team loses one clone. When you repair a teammate's armor, that player doesn't have to wait as long to get back into the fight. When you deploy an uplink, you allow your team to spawn closer to an objective. All of these actions benefit the team, but they also generate war points. According to your logic, the only reward for doing anything on the battlefield should be knowing that it helps your team, which doesn't work in a game where active SP is earned by gaining WP. If there was no active SP, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but that's not the case.
I am merely asking for more ways to earn WP, which can be hard for some classes. Take the heavy, for example: we can gain WP by hacking and killing, but that's about it. Unless the enemy team makes itself an easy target, it can be hard to earn a decent amount of WP (not necessarily speaking for all heavies, I'm sure there are a few that don't have much of a problem with this), so I believe we should have more ways to do so.
P.S. See Delirium Inferno's post: his views on the matter are similar to mine, only better explained. |
