    Re: Repair Points?

    This has been discussed for ages, DICE must know about this situation, but they've done nothing. Most people agree engineers should either get more points per repair, or a faster repair, but they've done nothing. So don't expect them to change anything now, I would be very surprised.

      Engineer 171 hours 1006 repairs vs support 83 hours 1759 support points... either repair points need to get easier or ammo points need to get harder, either way the support class's need to have equality in point scoring. What is the point of the class within the stats system if it is such a handycap to play it. It could be balanced out by giving the jackhammer range and a sniper scope but as it is the class lacks at least a third of the points it should score which surely isnt balanced. It is such a valuable and useful kit that it is extremely frustrating to loose out to Karkand medics in the points market.

      I dont like the empty vehicle points idea, it makes no sense within the scoring world as you are not helping a team mate by repairing your own vehicle.

          I was lucky. I managed to get my expert engy badge in one warlord game with 2 special forces who where determined to own all the commanders assets at the palace. It takes so long to get the points I was getting my arse handed to myself on a plate unless I could do it from the (relative) safety of the apc.

          121 hours engy 887 repairs
          56 hours support 878 resuplies

          Definatly should b eeasier to get repair points.

            how the hell is anyone supposed to get 25 repair points in a single round sans stat padding?
            Sit near your assets as an engineer, let the enemy spec ops raze through your base, then repair when they leave. If they come to investigate how they got fixed so quickly, earn yourself some kills with your shotgun.

                2)its just not worth it
                ok well enginer is my most played kit and yes i belive it does take ages to get repair points, but im sorry it would make more stat padding, it might not be worth it to you..but there are some people out that would take advantage of it.

                i like the idea some one mentioned about getting 2 points for what we get 1 point for at the moment

                  Point Padding would be an issue. So what if there is already one way...Do we need one more? No...

                    117:27:20 hours as engineer - 523 repair points.

                    28:59:50 hours as support - 659 support points.

                    I guess I should be trying harder to repair things.

                      Thats what I'm sayin...

                      Its possible, if your willing to stat pad. That will probably be one expert badge ill never see. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone who has actually recieved it fair and square.

                                I think the Engineer should get his points faster, time does drag when fixing the commanders assets. Or as other people said give two points rather than one.

                                489Hr as Engineer and 2014 repair points.
