Patch Notes v.3.0 - “Eventful times”

Its really simple: Aslong as events are deathmatches based on stars you shouldnt play fixer.

@Miika Perhaps its time to consider why Fixing is underappreciated in games with high healing & damage.
For reference consider why the top 10 healing performances wasnt rated 3* efforts.

 

Ooo... Devs gonna pay today.. #GETTHESTRAP

 

LOL. That’s why I’ve been playing Enforcer a lot. However, it doesn’t change the fact that Fixer contributions go unrecognized. That was my point. But, yeah, Enforcer is the way for me to go at the moment.

 

Today, healing and damage have a different value when we talk about contribution, right? If they had the same value, would healing be overvalued? I understand your argument that healing an AFK or someone after the battle is decided should not be counted as a contribution, but I also think that the damage should receive the same treatment in these cases.

 

I see two options

1. make damage contribution system same as is the current healing contribution system
2. make healing contribution system similar to the damage contribution system (just raw numbers without anything else)

 

I like several comments above where the repair is a percentage. I can understand that. I can also understand if self-healing counting a smaller amount.

Except for pulse, my bolt and box do much less healing than a RG or Flare at a similar type and level. I understand my repair cooldown is lower than most weapons, but that just puts my healing at about the same amount as the weapons of similar level. And just like with a weapon, I sometimes miss. LOL So I can't always "make my shot" or sometimes a pesky speeder comes by and destroys my boxes so they aren't used. I think things equal out pretty well that way. I'm not sure if I made complete sense or not, but I did want to comment.

In the battle that I posted a pic of, from TDM, I contributed greatly to the other team not winning by keeping my team alive. I'd say if I heal a teammate and keep them from dying, that has a lot of value to winning the battle. Seeing the badge, 'lifesaver', pop up makes you think you've done a lot, especially if they stay alive for awhile longer.

 

Well, you have the stats and numbers, we dont have them. Also we dont know exactly how it is done today.
You should see how much damage a player does on average with a certain infamy and gearscore, compared to healing, there should be a factor?
You see the badges e.g. for team healing and livesafer, that could have an influence?
You could track how much damage a teammate is doing after he would have died without receiving any healing, and how much damage he could do additionally because a stun was dispelled.
We want to raise the awareness that some action is required here, you should develop some plan how to solve this. I know many fixers that were deeply frustrated since we have very limited contribution to the guild quest nowadays. I also have not many expectations regarding the deathmatches, because I can play only once a day and not whenever the tickets have recharged, well... but being additionally punished because we get less stars is really frustrating again.

 

Maybe we are not going to have event this weekend

 

Hi you probably won’t see this, but I think infamy should play a smaller roll in MM than it is now in fact I kinda liked it before more

 

Either a sliding scale that making healing worth more as overall numbers in the game grows (which is where fixer stars tend to drop off, it seems fairly balanced in more typical games). When the game goes to large numbers its often due to a fixer doing a good job, something the current * system has a hard time acknowledging.
---
Another approach would be to make damage that gets healed back up worth less. Perhaps a higher focus on the ''lifesaving" moments & on the damage that leads to deaths.



////
On another note: Perhaps an idea to post a schedule for upcoming events. The uncertainty seems to cause frustration.

 

Why not

Do X amount of heals with pulse
Do X amount of heals with repair box
Do X amount of heals with bolt

• Add more fixer specific quest to decrease the trophy multiplier for the protector quest. Balance the trophy lost in the protector quest into the new (as proposed above) fixer quests.

(Similar to weapon specific quests/fleeting gives bonus/use of specific healing item gives x5 bonus etc etc) + discount self heals towards contribution.

 

This!!! When livesaver pops up they technically have died so after that flag on that friendly a proportion of their contributions should also be applied to the fixer for the remainder of the battle. The longer the fixer can keep them alive the more additional contributions they will get.
I have said proportion as if it was equal amount they would 3 star every battle (not that I would complain though ).

 

healing 20k-40k +1 star
healing 40k above +2 star
of course win is +1 star
