As usual, 8s is too much for most players as the adderall might wear out by then some don’t care, some don’t know. Tbh RP are really OP when built properly.
So, in order to incentive players building RP i would suggest:
What if the RP would give you compounded XP ?
By that i mean, every squad that spawns using your RP would give you a % of the XP that squad made.
Also, 35 pts per squad spawned is not enough however it could be like a medic box. The first spawn would give you 35, the second 50, third 80 pts and so on.
While I agree that rally points should give more points than what they currently do, as they are CRUCIAL for a fight, I have my concerns about the other part.
In theory, compounded xp sounds good. However, there are 3 major issues that arise from this:
other teammates intentionally destroying or blocking rally point so that their gets spawned on, and therefore they get the point (I already see this happening, so a rally point generating that much points would only make it worse).
a player abusing this himself, by setting barbwire or other using other friendly fire means to force bots and players to repeatedly spawn.
if the value goes too high, at what point will players be generating substantially more points by just sitting idly by after building a rally point? We already have issues with players complaining that shooting down planes gives far too many points, and they recently got nerfed. Giving the compounded xp like you suggest would quickly climb to a higher amount than planes shot down, and far more frequently.
Ultimately, the most FULL PROOF way of incentivizing rally points that I can suggest, is to give SPAWN ASSIST points for each kill that squad pulls off. Set it at like 10 points per kill and 50 points for a squad that captures an objective when they spawned from your rally point.
By doing it this way, you incentivizeEFFFECTIVE rally points, that help the team push objectives and win, rather than just how many players spawn on it to begin with. Additionally, remove the points for the squad spawning in.
Similarly, I think ammo boxes and medboxes should work in a similar manner to this.
Hm…
I think the EXP gain itself should be tweaked. This one seems a bit… too much.
Rally points main task is to basically make it easier for the team to reach desired locations, but I don’t think further EXP leeching is necessary.
But an interesting idea none the less.
