Repair Terminal Taking PEDS, But No Repairs!

Hello all. Just thought I would gripe about a bug that has bit me twice. There is a outpost north east of twins that I believe has a faulty repair terminal.

The first time it happened it went like this: I put my armor + plates, a103, and a104 amp’s in the said terminal, clicked repair, my PEDS dissapeared, and my items went back into inventory like always. I ran over, bought 10k ammo, and went on a argo hunt. 6k into the hunt I get a message saying that my a104 is almost broken. I use a kross h400, and I know for a fact that it will run through 14k+ ammo befor breaking, so I knew something was wrong. Sure enough, I went back to repair terminal, and put everything in, it was all decayed again! Armor + plates, 103, and 104 amps. for a total of 47+ PEDS.

Now today, it happens again, but slightly different. Before I went on a hunt, I went to the repair terminal and clicked armor and weapons buttons, nothing went in, so all is well. I checked my 104 amp, it was full tt. So I run over, buy 10k ammo again and go argo hunting. At 6k or so ammo spent, I get the “the item you are trying to use is broken” message. NO warning, no nothing, it just breaks. So I die and go back to repair terminal, click armor and weapons, and its almost 45 PED in repairs!

Now I shoot up almost 250k ammo a week on a kross h400 + 104. I wear the same armor (hunter/vindicator +2a) all the time on argos. I know what the decay should be down to a science. Something is highly amiss here and it’s cost me almost 92 PEDS now.

I sent in a support case, and they say that it repaired everything fine, and that there is nothing they will do. The first time, I figured maybe I was just tired and missed it. But this time I know. Ma has bent me over yet again :frowning:

Well MA do say that they make there money from decay…Just didn’t know 2x decay week had started

did you made suport case?

hmm…
repaired a103 at terminal in outpost; and didn’t have the problem (else it would already broke). Maybe they fixed it? or are there 2 rep terminals there?

ya, I’ve sent in a case. They said their record show that everything repaired fine. I’ve updated it about 4 times now with no reply back. Perhaps I’m screwed. :confused:

No clue which repair it is there, but one of them. And no, can’t be fixed because it happend to me the second time not 15 minutes ago :frowning:

I used the one near the turret (west one); about 1h ago.
Maybe it’s an avatar based bug?

it’s pretty easy to tell if repair id not working …check tt value of item before repair…picture it.

Repair item and check tt value again. Picture it.

Post results here if you like. (Note if you suspect repair terminal is not working just repair a slightly decayed one rather than fully broken)

thing is, I have used the repair prolly 50 times, and only had it happen twice. So who knowns when it will happen next. I will begin taking screenies before I repair (something to send to ma and post), good advice.

possible, but it has only happened to me at this one outpost, so who knows. could be 100% random and I’m just very unlucky :frowning:

Are you certain you repaired at 100% ?

Maybe the slider is at 50% or so, which would repair your equipement only 50%…

:slight_smile:

yep, 100% every time, all the time. I’m not sure I have ever moved the slider actually, lol. :scratch2:

Full repair of the A103 and A104 is around 70 PEDs alone, so the A103 did not decay at all.
7 PEDs sounds like the armour decay which sounds right for about 6k in ammo.
Do you remove the amp from the gun for the repairs ?

It’s dynamic

I think the result of this is that it is always best to check that everything has been repaired fully after being put in the repair machine. There is always a risk that one presses the wrong button, tries to repair an (L) or has the percent-repair slider at another place than 100%. How do I know?..

I guess you can’t repair the repair terminal if the repair terminal isn’t working :laugh:

Nah, a103 is just for my backup, there was hardly any decay on it, maybe a ped. And my hunter/vindicator +2a decays between 5.5-6.8 ped for 10k ammo on argo’s, depending on how many argo trains I get on me during a hunt :slight_smile: And no, I don’t take the amps off, I just click “armor” and “weapons”. Sometimes I will drag an item into the repair terminal, but not often.

take a screen shot before to repair
take a screen shot about the repair message
take a screen shot about your items TT value after reparation

all those screen shots must confirm your hypothesis, if you right send a support case with all the screen shots and give a little of shit to MA publicly here on EF. Thx to advised us about this possible issue
