You need to have a sacrificial juicy lamb ready or the devil won't appear.

He's not a devil!
He's our savior!
Our last hope!
He will fix the balance in this game!

You're forgetting CCP Remnant.

*chews on lamb*

*chews on lamb*

Speaking of which how hard would it be to drag CCP Remnant out of the cave? He's been a bit quite lately.

*chews on lamb*

He's a busy man. No promises but I can try and dangle a lure outside his cave and see if he'll come out. What in particular did you guys want to talk to him about?

Maybe logi bonuses. I don't want to lose my Minmatar racial for something silly like 5% nanohive clusters per level.

In all fairness that hackspeed should totally be a scout ability.

Losing it would be a sad thing... but once ewar is in I might be happy to trade for some bonus in tackling or NOS.

That would of course require the implementation of a capacitor system, though. May not ever happen but I hope it does.

Let's do one better, what sort of equipment bonuses would you like to see if it wasn't restricted to the code of currently existing bonus system?

Caldari logis repair tools and repair nanohives repairing armor AND sheilds. . Since it has such low cpu now I am guessing the innate ability must be sucking up that extra 40cpu the other suits have.. where else could that cpu be going?

So...
You're going to take away the only reason armor has to exist in this game?
Gotchya.

Armor has to exist because caldari logis dont heal sheilds? Not sure I follow the logic.. kind of like saying there is no reason to use sheilds because logis repair tools repair armor. If you are scared of sheilds throw a flux, use a scrambler rifle, group with a nass driver. You have played this game before right?

You do understand armor is massively underpowered compared to shields and the only reason we can make do is because of logi tools and hives?
Otherwise we would have no upside.
Zero.
Nada.

Oh and your puny flux grenade?
Locus grenades insta kill is with their 35% extra damage against armor.
Flux drop your shields but never kill you.

And mass drivers don't need to use fluxes on us because they drop our shields pretty quickly and then they get a massive 35% boost to damage.

You need to have a sacrificial juicy lamb ready or the devil won't appear.

I have seen as many players beast in armor as I have in sheilds, both sides have their Achilles heel, a cal logi healing sheilds would add an interesting dimension to the battle field.. especially if the new suit variants are ever released.. if you have input regarding the question posed by the cpm in the thread I am sure the community would be excited to read it.. lets try and refrain from ruining this opportunity. .

You can mitigate speed reduction penalties with some ingenuity... lets focus on what we qould like to see added rather rhan qqing

Asking to add logi shield tools when shields are superior to armor is a bad move.
After shield vs armor is fixed then go ahead and add it.
But NOT before.

Oh and about the speed reduction?
Everyone and their mother knows the stacking penalties trick, but speed isn't our only problem, and those plates are extremely CPU/PG intensive it's nuts.

For instance, what if instead of gallent logis having a cpu/pg fitting reduction they instead recieve a 25% bonus to armor repair or a functioning 50% reduction to the movement penalty on stacked armor plates. . See.. constructive..

Then the assaults would be dead in the water because they already suck compared to their logi counterparts.

Besides, Logi's are supposed to get bonuses to gear, CCP are just changing some code before they can give all logis specific bonuses. (Caldari/Gallente nanohives, injectors, stuff like that)

First make sure both are balanced before bonuses, then add bonuses.

I am not saying that a core repair tool should repair 110 sheild per second, but if it could rep say 25 sheild and 105 armor for a proto tool at 5 meters.... lesser tools would be 12 sheilds and 45 armor... not game breaking but interesting and actually making caldari logi worth having over minmitar for certain situations

I think a handheld shields booster should be a completely different item, and function completely differently as well. It might be cool if a handheld shield booster had to be charged before use, and give one large one-time boost then have a cooldown before it could be used again. Like a 5 second charge time that could be held for as long as you like, and when released would grant 200-300 shields, then a 10 second cooldown before it could be used again.

Losing it would be a sad thing... but once ewar is in I might be happy to trade for some bonus in tackling or NOS.

That would of course require the implementation of a capacitor system, though. May not ever happen but I hope it does.

My god people will kill it OP.
Not that I'm saying it is, but it surely will be annoying as hell in a battle.

So you are completely happy with the logi bonuses as they stand cat n
Merc... ok understood... all suits are getting a workover in the future and we have been asked what bonuses we would like to see on logis in the future.. good to know you want no changes... can we move on? I would like to see amar logi bonus as one that enhances the efficacy of all the logi tools so that advanced functioned at near proto levels

Here cat Merc let me help you out with your next post

" that is an aweful idea sheilds are op and armor is underpowered and amar is garbage meow meow meow.. "

What would you like the logi bonus to be?

What if it were a sort of buff item? Like a 5 second charge time, then when released it would reduce the shield recharge delay time by 3 seconds and increase the shield recharge rate by 10 per second for 10 seconds of the targeted team-mate, and have a 15 second cooldown time?

At that point its not much different than a repair tool slowly repping your sheilds.. instead of a cooldown you could have the logi turn around and fire at the flanking red berries

what about a grenade that added a temporary 200-300 shield to all friendlies in the blast zone. might be funny to see in PC to, accidentally buffing enemies

No need for a charge time then.
Just make this boost instant with a 30 seconds cool down on that specific person.
On anyone else it could work instantly.

If the cooldown were specific to each individual, then I could see users of the item just charging up everyone around him with it, with no penalty for doing so. The cooldown would have to effect the use of the tool for everyone, so that it would be an important decision who to use it on. I could see this type of item being a fairly aggressive tool, as compared with the repair tool being defensive.

And another thought, what about about a shield tool that would add the user's shields to the targeted team-mate, but only as long as the tool were held? It would serve as a boost to a unit to be strengthened, but since it would be required to be held it would remove a gun from the battlefield, which would make it risk vs reward.

So shields are removed from the logi and given to that team mate?

I was thinking they would be removed as the team-mate was shot, leaving the logi defenseless with no shields after the team-mate begins to take damage.

Hmmm...
And after the logi shields are depeleted, does it add any shields to the guy who is getting repped?
Because otherwise, I can see it as a powerful combo with a gallente logi and caldari assault.

to be honest, my gallente logi is doing ok, I feel like any deaths I take are my fault, I REALLY like the cpu bonus for gallente so please don't change that, I get proto everything on equipment and I'll be rocking proto plates soon, I might not be able to go all the way on that but it will make me a lill lighter and cost a lill less cpu.

if anything I would rather see logis get more recognition in game, injectors on the kill feed? resurrections / repairing done?

my gripe isn't with the class, it's with plates and that isn't the topic here so....

I'm incredibly excited for tomorrow...

Can't wait! Stats better not be a letdown. Again.

What's happening tomorrow
