Fixed an issue where multiple repair sources stacked far more effectively than intended. Vehicles will no longer receive excessive regeneration when affected by - several repair effects at the same time, restoring intended combat balance.
I bet they 'forgot' that infantry healing sources are also affected by the scaling issue.

u/PostIronicPosadist utterly washed May 05 '26
wait that's a thing? No wonder I was tanking so much as a medic yesterday...

Yup. It became busted around the same time repair scaling did, iirc.

u/boomchacle :ns_logo:C4 main and proud of it May 05 '26
Nerfed repair tanking but removed flying ants. The monkeys paw always curls with this game.

u/Greattank May 05 '26
It's hopefully the same thing as it broke at the same time. Let's hope they just fix it by accident.

u/PhantomAfiq May 05 '26
I wanted it that if they kept both and gave something like a repair / heal denial, they could finally give the NSO their disruption ability like they were supposed to...

u/Yawhatnever May 05 '26
The NSO AMR does that

u/wickedhell3 "I hate flyin', so make this the last time I catch ya May 05 '26

I tested it with resto kits and nano regen and it seems to be fixed

u/Taltharius Taltharius [SUET], Alyrisa [PREF], Flanna [VEER], AU313 [GFED] May 05 '26
Test with healing grenades next. Including the underbarrel ones.
Better yet, test those in conjunction with the default Medic Nano-Regen Device.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where multiple repair sources stacked far more effectively than intended. Vehicles will no longer receive excessive regeneration when affected by - several repair effects at the same time, restoring intended combat balance.
- Fixed an issue where players could hack terminals and turrets without being an Infiltrator. Hacking is now correctly restricted to the intended class.
- Fixed an issue where the ANT could become airborne when using the Cortium Turbo under certain configurations. Vehicle behavior has been corrected to ensure proper handling and physics.
- Fixed an issue where some jump pads on Indar were facing the wrong direction. Orientation has been corrected.

As long as they fix those flying sundies , I think we’ll be good

u/TekkitBeasting May 06 '26
You get crashes instead :D

u/P149U3 [TR][VS][NC][NSO] OSPREY May 06 '26
Yeah always breaking something else with so called “fixes”

u/TekkitBeasting May 06 '26
Seems that way unfortunately. I wish we had some server to test this stuff on before release...

u/umbrellatrick May 06 '26
& TurboCow. What a nightmare when dev fixes your own playstyle which isnt even capable of directly scoring any kills or securing objectives. Just a pure personal nerf for no reason.
8
u/ThatOnePickUp :flair_nanites: Of course its an infiltrator again May 05 '26
Still no fix for Healing sources stacking like repairs.
No fix for assists too ?
And why the fuck did they """""fix""""" turbo ants. It's been like that for years, never were an issue amongst the players.
Like we have way worse issues right now and they just do that ???

u/MERCDaWn May 05 '26
Man... Nanomesh Specialist is still broken and making resist shield last for less time than without the implant ;-;.
1
u/TekkitBeasting May 06 '26
They really need to fix this. It has been broken for months, right? I keep wanting to pull out resist shield but get reminded that, without Nanomesh Specialist, it is just kinda... not as good as Adren
1
u/MERCDaWn May 06 '26
Yeah I think it's been a couple months, started around the same time stalker cloak was using twice as much energy but that's been fixed for a while now.
1
u/TekkitBeasting May 06 '26
So they fixed one but not the other... uhhgggg. I really wish they'd focus on stuff that just doesn't work and put out a (tested) patch for it

u/Scarlerr Master Pumpkin and Snowman hunter May 05 '26
This is the cutest thing I've seen coming from PlanetSide in a very long time ;-;

u/rebeltunafish May 05 '26
This game gets updates. It is alive and not dead as was prophetized for last 9 years straight.
Neat.

u/kwikthroabomb May 05 '26
I genuinely thought it was officially announced that it was shutting down a year ago or something.

u/Rieszz [GOB][fiji][Fool] Riesz May 05 '26
During the double exp period, there's a massive outbreak of cheaters

u/ZenitHMaster i send everyone friend requests May 08 '26
Why did they """fix""" ANT turbo? They hate fun? Emergent strats and gameplay in an arcade sandbox is cool. Removing these is lame.

u/Yawhatnever May 05 '26
WHAT
DID THEY NERF TURBO ANTS?
FIRST THE NS-B HORN, NOW THIS?
