Voodoo Points Repair.

I probably missed the announcement somewhere, but lately I have noticed that my ship's VP reps in increments of 10k. My question: Why the change? What was wrong with the way it was? Thank you.

 

On the 12th of Dec a change was implemented to the Voodoo repair system. From the Patchday Notes 2018:

• Improvement: The Voodoo priest’s absolute base repair tick has been lowered and the also integrated percentage repair time buff has been removed.
  • Explanation: This system was heritage from the transition to the AMS system and needed to be straightened. It gave the Voodoo priest a base tick rate of 10 seconds and immediately reduced it by 90%. We removed the 90% tick speed buff and lowered the base tick rate from 10 to 8 seconds. To (over)compensate for the missing value, the amount healed has been increased to the tenfold of what it was before (e.g. VP4 heals 6750 instead of 675 points per tick).
• Bug fix: some bug fixes for the shop in the client
• Improvement: The Voodoo Doll does not longer increase the amount of Voodoo Points restored for each tick by 10% but increases the tick count over time by 10%.

Has this answered your query?

An 'improvement' from a coding POV perhaps, but not an improvement for the players. It means a lot more sitting still to get any repairs done at all because if you move before the 8 seconds pass you don't get any repair at all.

 

I totally agree with you Bawdyn. Thank you very much Tex! (You can close).
