    As it currently stands, I find the majority of the quests are in favour of X amount of damage / X amount of weapon specific kills & X amount of kills in general. X amount of stars being a class neutral quest. The only quest with a fixer in mind is to heal X amount of damage. As a Fixer I feel our class is disadvantaged greatly as until MK5, we are restricted to 1 weapon only. Even then we are limited as we max out with 2 weapons.

    I've now reached 29 and so the quest requirements are a lot more demanding and more difficult to achieve. I would very much like to see more quests specific to Repair Pulse, Repair Box Launcher and Repair Bolt to bring a fixers quests in line with a damage dealers.

    I imagine it should be quite straight forward for Rovio to implement some secret sauce to generate these quests for a player who actively plays a fixer so other players aren't encouraged to play the class as a detrement to their teams.

    Any other thoughts - agree / disagree?

    "Until Mk6" you mean.

    I wish I had two weapons now. :(

    I second the sentiment, but here's the problem - what other Fixer-specific quests could there be? The only ones I can think of would be better suited to achievements , such as "hit all four teammates with a single Repair Pulse" or "restore a player from <10% health to full"

    The hardest quest for me as a Fixer is the "Kill these specific ships" - that's getting re-rolled for sure. Kill 3 ships? Sure, it's probably going to be a couple other Fixers at the end of a match and a Speeder that comes for a drive-by and catches a surprise 950+ crit to the bow.

    Right you are!

    I can't see there being many options for fixer quests, the 2 you mentioned would be reasonable options. I think in general we would have to look at what damage dealing quests there are and flip it for a Fixer i.e.

    • Deal X amount of damage with your Blast Cannon would be as a fixer equivalent, heal X amount of damage with your Repair Bolt
    • Kill 1 of ships A, B, C would be heal X amount of damage for ships A, B, C.

    Yeah trying to do some quests in a fixer is hell. Its the quests of kill 1 shooter, 1 enforcer, 1 defender quest. (Or other combination) that took ages to do. Getting the odd kill is hard enough but of a particular class can take a while.
    On the other side kill 3 ships with (insert weapon) is a good one too. As you only have 1 weapon means you can do that with the get 3 kill quest at the same time.
    But I think as a fixer we are the minority. It's part of the fixer problem, lower star awards and harder to do some quests.

    I'm doing fine with fixer completing quests. I reroll anything that says "kill", but the rest (the majority) is doable

    - win 3 battles - easy
    - win 3 battles with fixer - easy
    - get 5 stars - takes longer because typically I get 0 stars on loss and 1 on win, but still very doable
    - do x amount of damage with weapon - takes longer too but can progress on both win and loss, so also doable
    - do x amount of healing - easy

    So there's plenty of completable quests. I wouldn't mind having an additional quest designed for fixers though. Do x amount of healing with this specific item would be a fitting objective.

    Ideas for quest:
    • Take 5000 (equal to HP of ship + 10%) damage and win battle.
    • Get 3 stars for battle without dealing damage.
    • Kill at least 2 ships in one battle playing as fixer.
    • Take at least 2 place by damage playing as fixer.

    yes there is quest for weapon, but no quest for heal item.
    • you are joking? if not, these quest should give incredible amount of gold or sugar, seem so difficult (the 3last)

    I see no problem in playing fixer for any quest.

    Use the correct items and you should be fine.

    Watch my forum thread for selfish fixer.

    Fixer got 1 weapon slot (Mk6 got 2 slot), choose a fast reload high dps weapon and you will be more dangerous and can fend for urself better.

    No never. Especially the first and second quest.
    Quests should promote team play not "oh I need to complete a quest let's not damage anyone".
