How fixers get the short end of the stick... again.

So we all know fixers are screwed when it comes to stars. It's very rare for a fixer to get three stars, even as the top contributor. Now that xp is based on stars (1-20xp, 2-30xp, 3-40xp) and we are getting shafted, once again.

I know I know, it's just a extra 10 xp. But for how many battles you should have gotten it as top contributor, it is pretty aggravating.

 

Agreed, healing points need to be heavier weighted in "the sauce" that determines contribution. A good fixer is such a huge advantage, especially if your team is shooter heavy. Its one of the most difficult to multi task as well.

 

This goes without mentioning the cumulative impact. For someone who mains a Fixer; 10 battles = 100xp...with the recent changes, that will add up over the course of a captain's career.

I don't disagree, but the issue becomes balancing self healing vs actual team healing. Not to say that self healing isn't important; a dead Fixer isn't contributing. However, if a Fixer plays ONLY for him/herself it could be abused.

 

I brought this up in the announcement thread complete BS. I can heal 25k anx do 3000k damage and lose after playing 4 min and 30 seconds and get 0 XP . but the damage dealers I keep alive get stars and XP . I can play defender use firebomb lose and get 20 XP. I advise anyone not to play fixer the one boat in the game that screams team work get screwed the worst . I acceptwe the less star sand went on fixing but now fixers will lvl up.captains lvl and take longer to get mk6 orany higher mk boat its totally broken . Your discouraging anyone from playing fixer. Playing fixer = longer battles 90% of the time. Less reward fotlonger gameplqy thatbrewards damage dealer but not fixers .completely broken.

This screenshots a perfect example healed 16k and 2500 damage battle lasted over 4 mins for 0 stars and 0 XP both shooters I kept alive to get 10k damage a piece got a star and 20xp how is that even close to correct. Its broken. Why would anyone choose to play longer and play your ass off to help other s get rewared for doing exactly what a fixers supposes to do HEAL NOT DO DAMAGE especially at mk5 we have one damn gun

 

Self healing dowsnt show on battle reacords

 

@Ovidmikel good to know - I never play one lol

 

Right?! A big reason they were able to do that much damage is because we kept them from dying. It's a bad system for us

 

I don’t understand stars/exp calculation at all ... can some one explain how it possible... look at winners and losers ... and stars calculation... all winners got 1 stars??? And losers 2??? I give up...
FYI it's my highest rate in a screen ... for that day

 

@Ovidmikel are you over 800 infamy lower than your season high score? If you are, your rewards are getting lower because the system thinks you are a seal clubber

 

This is the reason only I stopped playing fixer after the july 17 nerf. Slow farming poor rewards. Wi5h speeder I can farm fast than fixer and its less pain in neck to heal those players who thinks they can win match by themselves. Abandone fixers as soon as possible if you want to develop fast.

 

It is @The Grim Repair, not @TheGrimRepair

 

Damage = Counts directly as contributing.
Healing = Conditionally counts as contributing.

Getting 1* from a game like this is absurd -- Fixers are far too reliant on the actions of the ships they heal.
Having said that I dont think our average star gains are bad atm, been content since the fire contribution nerf.

 

No I'm only 100 below season hi and I've accepted the lower stars its just ridiculous that now because I main fixer I also will lvl up slower also completely broken anyone thatbplys fixer gets the shaft .

 

Shooters always had and will have the advantage when it comes to the stars system. Sometimes I feel like going back to Shooter and enjoy all the imbalances in the game lol. I just think sheer damage shouldn’t be the primary factor for stars.Team-Heals,Damage and Fire Damage maybe at one weight, Frost,Self-Heal,Stun duration maybe on the next and something like that would make every ship and every weapon contribute to the star system which would be fair. Just my opinion

 

Also shots blocked with tesla shield should be taken into account
