Topic: Destruction SAP design question

In a recent battle for Abbuthilia to my understanding the destruction SAP was dealt about 50% damage by the attackers. However the defenders were able to close the SAP doing window by repairing the SAP and then doing the most damage. Could I please get a DEV word that this is how they are supposed to be able to be defended and that this is not an exploit or a feature that will be designed away in the future.

This was relevant as my plasma bombs had nothing to hit as I sitll thought the defenders would have a reason to hang around and the situation still potentially going on.

It's been like that since closed beta

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

Re: Destruction SAP design question

its been that way since implementation. Not very nice but intended behaviour.
also, most damage only counts when the thing blows up.

edit:
and repairing that thing is far easier then killing its, du to the high resists it has. or else its explosion would kill everything in its sap-circle (which already happened at the first live destruction SAP big_smile)

Re: Destruction SAP design question

There have been some context changes. Before defenders could do a sap a healer would always be an attacker, making it way more niche and neglible. I was pretty  accepting that the huge brawl we had made it so that we didn't get the SAP but neither did they. Now it's never a race on who gets the thing down first. If it ever surives with 1 hitpoint who ever holds it can heal and hurt it to arbitrary amounts.

Re: Destruction SAP design question

I actually think its a great mechanic as it scales so well.

Imagine you had a fleet of fifty heavies logged off that you could log in and shoot the sap with. There would be no defence. With this mechanic there is.

+2 to both previous orators.

I believe pvp could be very exciting and the game has what it takes. But this is game is ruined and we all know  by who, it´s by corps like CiR, -77- and PHM. - by Fu ManChu
