Question for a Dev: Air Strike Recovery post DLC

We know you will be "increasing the skill recovery time" of the level 2 and level 3 airstrikes.

Does this mean the skill will regen quicker, or regen more slowly? I've seen people interpret it both ways.

My reading of it was that it will regenerate more slowly (hence, an increase in recovery time).

Hmm.... I always assumed that it meant the recovery time would take longer, meaning you wouldn't be able to use it as much.

Whoever's interpreting it as a faster regen is, frankly, wrong. There's no way that an increase in recovery time will lead to faster regen, which would be a decrease in recovery time.

For such a powerful thing I doubt Uber would make it any faster than it is now.

They also said they'll be greatly increasing the cooldown time on the juice machines. Since there is currently almost no cooldown, it would have to mean that the cooldown time will be increased.

Ahh, nice observation Lief. So I guess it's safe to say the cooldown time will be longer.

I have yet to see it explained exactly how juice will work. Does anyone know how long of a cooldown it will be? Someone acted as if buying juice would be a rarity and juice rushing would be a thing of the past after the patch but I find this very hard to believe.

It was posted somewhere the the Juice dispersers will be on a global 60 second cooldown timer.

Also depends on your definition of Juice rushing? Turtling until over time then blowing money on Juice? Juice chaining while their Moneyball drops? Assassins bot farming for Juice just to destroy defenses?

Besides using a few "tricks" Tanks and Assaults gain a fair amount of Juice from picking up all the scattered Juice boxes.

I think we will still see lots of Juiced Pros but not juices in the succession we see them in now.

That is what I was under the impression of as well. Which is still not enough of a timer imo. Because Juice is pretty much the only reason I don't like this game.

P.S. Stretch, our team from earlier left a game and didn't invite me, and picked up different people. What's up with that?

Thank you Stretch... I guess that will help some (and it will be fun picking off the pros circling around the machines)
