Ok. As a support logi, I have become accustomed to being shot by blues that need reps, and melee'd by blues that are in need of ammo. With friendly fire on, this may no longer be a good way of communicating the need. Since PC has had FF on for a while, is there already an established non damaging method of asking for ammo/reps?
If not, perhaps we should consider instituting one, since killing the guy with the ammo and reps you need is not a particularly effective way of getting what you want.
Anyone got any good ideas? |

We use mics in PC, but to be honest there isn't much asking due to the low TTK.
I don't run a needle or rep tool in PC, just uplinks and triage/rep hives. I throw out the hives in tne contested area and they do the work for me.
The currently acceptable method of asking for ammo is to shoot the ground at your feet, so that doesn't need to change. |

if I see a logi in pub games who isn't on voice and I need ammo I swap my wepons back and forth and if I need reps I crouch up and down in front of them sometimes they get the hint .

I believe they are going to fix it so that if you have a rep tool out you can see the health bars of friendly players. This should reduce the need for shooting you to ask for reps.
Also, someone told me that even with friendly fire active, melee damage is not counted against friendlies. So they could still melee to signal you. Then check to see if they need reps. If not, drop a hive. (If this info is not accurate, please let me know.) |

Yeah, we do that, but blues outside the squad still use the shooting/melee method fairly often. My squad doesn't need to. |

Well, if they EVER FIX THE GOD DAMN HEALTH BARS, then it won't be much of a problem. Drop hives a bit behind a hot zone, and scan the team if they need reps. Works reasonably well for me.

I can't remember what game it was but you could bring up this thing which had things like 'need medic' or 'need ammo' and a symbol would appear next to your name that would flash and such indicating what you need
