Double defusing and repairing; how to stop it

@Dr_Plantboss how is that an abuse?

It’s abusing the poor scrub who tried to repair the ev while it was already being repaired ;(

@KUST__LunarTM Do you realise the post was written in jest?

EDIT: oh BTW, scrubs be scrubs; so yeah… stop being scrub and do the tutorial.

If only I can reset my levels and teach scrubs to stop being scrubs.

hmmm, how did we used to play
engineers repair, defuse, build, medics heal, support gives ammo, calls in death from above, heavy weapons blow stuff up. Worked well enough to get Splash Damage this far

edit: oh yeah, bring in Brink’s customization and turn existing loadouts into credits in the custom shop

give the 2nd one that is defusing negative xp with the text ‘being useless’

So as the other guy with Mechanic Augment or an obj spec does the better job, the other one being useless gets flashed with negative XP for being useless. Less harsh than being kicked up in the air and getting fall damage, but hey, they’ll get the idea fast and quick.

I remind to everyone to not abuse the flag function. This is not a ‘dislike’ button.

I removed as much of those flags as I could.

So if I understand you correctly, you want to have it that whoever is the fastest get’s priority and can steal other people’s XP, even if they’d get it done faster because they are 90% through? No thank you. I honestly don’t find it that much of an issue and don’t think much development time should be spent trying to fix it right now. In the future, sure, maybe with a tutorial or something but not now.

Does it matter by 90% you already earned xp on the repair u did so far. Plus if theres only a few seconds left id rather the faster person defuse. Why let the bomb blow and loose match when engi could get it defused in time

BADGES. I think those require you to finish, no? Like those - beat all 3 objectives by yourself etc

But there are trolls who will purposefully interrupt you for a split second to stop you from getting the badge.

Trolls are also the reason I’m against the OP’s suggestion of having it disable other people’s repair/disarm attempts. Someone could just jump in and tap the button, disabling your ability to repair while at the same time having no intention of continuing the repair themselves.

The best option is to teach people that there is NO repair stacking.
Either through the tutorial, adding more tips during map loading screen or even through a spot on the main menu where you can learn more about the game’s roles and mechanics with tips and suggestions on how to play.

Basically, the information should come from in game, and we should not expect people to have to learn these things from searching the forum.

This is a real problem when you are already defusing etc… but then somebody comes and starts to defuse too and not covering you and then both of you die.
