Thanks to the RPG team for addressing my findings so quickly. I look forward to having a fairer outfit wars qualifier after the patch.
I really struggled to find a good way to contact the team confidentially that would guarantee a quick response for a bug with time-sensitive, large effects like this. Please let me know if there's any way (feel free to DM) if there's a better way to approach this situation any differently next time.
You did a great job. We do frequent this subreddit, so posting your findings here is very helpful to us.
What's the reasoning behind no revives? I strongly disagree with that decision. Revives are necessary to take a base and are a huge source of income for medics. With these changes really only players that get kills will be useful, and no supports.
I was on the fence about this one, too. When it comes down to it though, players won't suddenly stop giving you revives because it's not counting toward base capture score. There are a lot of other incentives like experience gain, directive progression, getting allies back so they can fight, etc.
However, what players will do if the behavior is incentivized, is sit in a choke point on top of the biggest pile of bodies you can find, constantly reviving players over and over again as they're mowed down the moment they stand up, despite the futility of their position, with no one pushing to make plays that actually take bases.
It's because of how easily revives can be farmed that we decided to put this one on the list for the time being. Doesn't mean it needs to be there forever though, if that behavior were suddenly to change.
But it’s April 1st so is it actually real? 🤔
It's not April 1st local time for us, so I can assure you that this is for realz
