China Black Lotus does not get XP for attacking vehicles

[xezon]

China Black Lotus does not get XP for attacking vehicles. Lotus will get XP for Cash Hack and Building Capture however. Lotus practically never reaches Vet 1, 2 or 3 in any regular Multiplayer match.

Note: GLA Jarmen Kell gets no XP for Vehicle attack either.

See also:

• Ranger, Rebel and Red Guard get different amount of XP for capturing buildings #399
• China Black Lotus vehicle attack range is lower than attack range of most vehicles #415

You could disable one vehicle out of reach of your enemy and grind on it infinitely. Would not change this.

According to Jundiyy, Lotus passes XP to the player as well, meaning that the above tactic could be even worse.

[Jundiyy]

Maybe a misunderstanding, she passes xp over for the ones she receives for only. So she gets it for cap building and cash hack and so does the player.

Coming to this issue itself, I don't think it's a needed one.
Would prefer to keep original if not needed.
Although not totally against it as well.

Edit: okay so you meant if we enable xp for vehicle hack then the player will get it.

You could disable one vehicle out of reach of your enemy and grind on it infinitely.

Which would require a lot of micro / attention as well as an inattentive opponent. Players can already achieve the same effect with GLA buildings by continuously destroying them to a hole and letting them rebuild. Nobody really has time for these things at the highest levels of gameplay where a change like this really matters.

That would be similar to abusing the GLA Sneak Attack for Neutron attacks. It's a valid point. See

• GLA Sneak Attack can be abused with China Neutron Shells to make Tunnel Networks unusable for long periods #361

[Madrageeeeee]

Wouldnt change really, not a big problem of the game i feel

[MTKing4]

Could we implement it for testing anyway to see how effective it is? With the jarmen addition as well

[commy2]

Will do.

What is even the advantage of a vetted Lotus? Only giving off more XP when shes killed?

[xezon]

More health and self heal I think. Maybe faster capture too?

[ZekeDlyoung]

Not faster capture, just more health and auto-heal

[xezon]

Would it be possible to change capture times on veterancy?

[ImTimK]

Would it be possible to change capture times on veterancy?

That would make Super Lotus OP though if vet 2 & 3 make her even faster

[xezon]

Depends how fast. 3 Star Jarmen also shoots faster right?

It's gonna be faster than currently and that's too fast.

Currently it's already hard to react in time if alot is going on, with some lag it's sometimes impossible to sell off your buildings even, even if you respond instantly.

Or you need to nerf current speed, but not a fan of that.

[xezon]

Personally I never had issues selling vs Lotus. But that may be just me then.

Guess you haven't experienced a mrs super lotus in your base under laggy circumstances then?

Or regularly play opponents who challenge your multitasking skills?

Trust me, it can be hard and stressy and any faster would be OP.

[ZekeDlyoung]

No need to argue about it, as it is not really possible since capture building is an ability not a weapon

[xezon]

This was addressed. Black Lotus now gains XP with vehicle attacks.
