The spot bonus is currently 50pts. A kill is 800pts. An assist is 200+pts. 50pts is too low to motivate people to use the ping system, and it feels bad that you get so few points for what is often an important contribution to the kill.
#Increase Spot Bonus to 200 Points

II could see this working if the xp varies based on the method used
if it's manual ping, recon drone ping or the gun attachment
sharp violet
Yeah could scale it the same way as the time so
Gun attachment - 2s - 50pts
Normal ping - 4s - 100pts
Recon ping - 8s - 200pts
Drone ping - 12s - 300pts
But honestly just 200 across the board seems fine to me

Gun attachment - 2s - 50pts
Norm...
Yeah something like that
200 across the board is a bit high for the gun attachment
i see it as good chip xp
sharp violet
Yeah I agree with it being a bit high for the gun attachment
drowsy scroll
Reason I wanted different for each is to keep the attachment low and make the drone have higher spot xp yield
sharp violet
Yeah I mean you can spot people with the drone a bit more easily
Except it takes a lot of time to get the drone into place

Idk of a spot should give as much as a kill
sharp violet
I'll have to pay more attention to how many spot bonuses I get with the attachment
sharp violet
Idk of a spot should give as much as a kill
Currently spot bonus is 1/16th of the points a kill gives
upbeat tendon
Isn’t it 50
sharp violet
No across the board they increased it
sharp violet
Before the change people would top out at like 80k points in a really good match
Now I see people with like 170k at the top of the scoreboard
sharp violet
My life is a lie
If you check in #bb-screenshots you can see proof that it's 800 for a normal kill, btw
You had me second guessing myself lol

Going to keep an eye on how much I see people using spotting when I play tonight

Even if it gave 8'000 XP it wouldn't change much. 99% of people don't play for XP.
sharp violet
99% of people don't play for xp
Uh that's a really bold claim

if it's manual ping, recon drone ping or the gun attachment
Maybe; the gun attachment ping lasts 2 seconds so I can't imagine it being useful for farming spot assists
somber holly
Yeah could scale it the same way as the time so
Gun attachment - 2s - 50pts

recon getting an XP bonus for spot assists makes a lot of sense to me
I like this idea
sharp violet
Yeah like engineers w vehicle destroys

> 99% of people don't play for xp
Uh that's a really bold claim
Riddle me this Batman: medic healing and reviving, ammo replenish of assault and support give A LOT of XP. Why do a lot of people ignore that?
sharp violet
They don't? Whenever I'm near teammates for a bit I get healed and resupplied
Also like, people are definitely doing the weekly challenges to get xp too
People do things for a variety of reasons but one of the factors is definitely xp

Even if it gave 8'000 XP it wouldn't change much. 99% of people don't play for X...
you're joking lmao
if spotting assists gave 8k XP then you'd see dozens of drones in the air per team
velvet quarry
Medics don't heal nor res because a huge portion of medics are tryhard wannabes that only hold W to die "flanking" to then brag about dropping a 100 kill game
With 50 deaths
