    Not AFTER taking down tesla shield. You get in their tesla shield and shoot, that's when you are supposed to get the achievement

    Watch the replay, you get it after, too. I was requesting a bugfix.

    While I don't agree with the sarcastic tone of this post, the contents are strikingly accurate.

    The adverse effects of this decision feel like they have been overlooked:
    Guild leaders will purge players who main as fixer for better contributors. Fixing quests are easy enough for people to complete with their secondary fixer boats.
    Fixers will try to damage deal instead of play their roles for the sake of contribution affecting the balance of games.

    A shooter can have 5 weapons all contributing to a single damage quest but a fixer has 1 or 2 weapons which they rarely get to use if they are doing their job correctly. Healing should contribute to these quests.

    I’m Danish so cant do much about the sarcasm, sorry! The tone comes out every time I think about the completely unnessacary Repair Pulse nerf that left the class as trash for months. This patch finally adressed parts of the problem they created when they neutered Pulse, but as a cherry on top they make the green boat shit for questing again. And do so without even bothered to explain their reasoning. (Again, a healing contribution nerf was fair enough.. going to 0% is drastic though). In a game where the vast majority comes from questing, being able to contribute to quests is fairly important.

    The continued tradition of slapsticking Fixers is tiring, and I worry about how large a nerf next patch will bring. I mean, if they nerf Fixer when its mediocre (Repair Pulse nerf), whats gonna happen when 2 Fixers are nearing the top 10. My bet is on a massive Repair Bolt nerf next patch.

    The big 3.0 is gonna be what decides whether I still wanna play or not. I've been cutting back a lot, lately, mostly from just getting bored of the same gamemode over and over, and the 50/50 win rate doesn't help much.

    If the 3.0 patch is nothing but nerfs and UI changes, idk what to look forward to. The last big new feature was guild quests, which were fun for a while but now just tends to screw with matchmaking. Guild quests should just be removed. We need something else we can do as a guild that doesn't make such a heavy impact on regular matches.

    Could we (finally) get some some feedback on why healing contribution had to be sliced to 0% rather than an amount that makes Fixers useful for guildquest?

    For me its another week of 'play the boat I want to play, or help my guild and play something else'.

    Either let a fair amount of healing count or rework quests into not being so heavily centered on finding a way to do damage with the worst weapons in the Bay. Tossing a deadweight weapon on a shooter is not big deal, devotion 50% of your arsenal (also a speeder issue) to trash is another matter.

    Imo guild quests came into the game too soon. They'd have been easier to manage had there been more content to pair with it, specifically guild related modes and events.

    I don’t care if we don’t have any guild quests any more. It’s not fun, when you have to play with weapons which you don’t like. For fixer, it’s also silly. It’s really shallow idea. No consideration made for all ships.

    You don't have to play with weapons you don't like to earn points towards quests.
