Viktor Hadah Jr Negative-Impact The East India Co. 4271	Posted - 2014.06.19 17:03:00 - [1] - Quote It's hard to recall a positive experience i have had with some reviving me while they were wearing a milita medic suit. Many people do not enjoy being revived in the middle of battle only to get shot down a second later. Many of the people who use the medic suit load are newer players who don't full understand when it is okay to revive someone and when it is not. So i recommend you change the equipment slot from the default nanite injector to a rep tool. It is hard to do damage to your own team with a rep tool.

Apothecary Za'ki Biomass Positive 95	Posted - 2014.06.19 17:10:00 - [2] - Quote or started medics get 2 equip slots and have both needle and rep tool but no side arm Minmatar Logibro in training. Rusty needles anyone? No Mic and no time for "Squeekers" Nerf scout cloak+shotgun
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 3765	Posted - 2014.06.19 17:43:00 - [3] - Quote I fully support switching the Nanite Injector for a Repair Tool. Regarding the Nanite Injector, I think the whole system should be changed so that Kills and Deaths are only registered on your stats if you actually loose the clone. If this change was implemented I would have no problem with the Medic suit having an Injector, but I donGÇÖt expect that to happen until Legion. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Also, starting with a rep tool is a much better intro to logi-ing (logying?) than a dirty needle.

I agree. before I had a logistics suit, I carried a repair tool on medium frames. It seemed much more helpful. It still does, even now that I have prototype versions of them. If this game was fun, I wouldn't be playing it.

Well....maybe the medic fit should be more of a half assed logi suit so that new players can experience different suit types rather then just the assault suit and learn how to switch equipment and all that way.

I'd actually really like that, to be perfectly honest. It'd add some diversity to the new player's starting fits as well so that not everyone in the Academy is running around with injectors or rep tools. It'd be interesting to see how new players react to that, whether or not they realize what benefits each racial suit will provide them simply by looking at them. Useful Links Aeon Amadi for CPM1

This would necessitate a full selection of racial "medics" to be available to new mercs in my opinion. The way various EQ types currently have vast discrepancies in ease-of-use and income potential I don't feel right locking them, at least for a few days, into certain equipment modules upon race selection.

Two equipment slots would be a good introduction to the Logi role.

On that note, it's huge fun to play a Minmatar Basic Light healbot. I can murder people and keep my team alive while outrunning most enemies, even if I would prefer to have some of that Logi repair bonus.

In a matter of fact why don't all the suits have a militia fit on start up? only give Minmatar and Gal heavies (hopefully after they are fixed) a militia HMG and give the Miltia forge to the Amarr and Caldari. and all scouts with Sniper Rail Rifle This Federation is now at war.

I was thinking that CCP only wants basic suits for the starter fits. Logi suit implies associated specialization bonuses. Actually, I'd like to see Basic medium suits with a second equipment slot. It would be the exact midway point between Assault (-1 eq) and Logi, (+1 eq) which makes sense for a suit that is a requirement for both. This would allow for an easy entry into the Logi role without a dedicated militia Logi suit. I know that it won't happen, though. Especially because the same logic can't be used for the Basic Heavy - You can't combine Commando and Sentinel characteristics without breaking something.
General12912 Gallente Marine Corps 199	Posted - 2014.06.21 00:50:00 - [26] - Quote no thank you. it wouldnt be much of a medic. would you rather get fixed but once you die, you are dead? or would you rather get a second chance. there is also the fact that not all suits depend on armor. if you got to heal a militia minmatar or caldari starter fit, you will not even get 25 points for triage. i'd rather be able to get the 60 for a revive.

There are reasons to base it on hp healed - currently you get more wp for reviving a person and replying them up, you get almost no wp for repping scouts but huge wp for repping heavies. In an ideal system you should get wp as though you had repped the target for that much hp - 30% + 60pts for revival (so 80% injector gives triage points as though you repped for 50% of hp) or wp = to injector tier, whichever is higher. 100% injector = base pick up value + triage worth 70% hp, or say 100 wp, whichever is higher. "Doesn't this mean you'd get like 500wp for picking up a plated gal sent gk.0? That's too high" a logi would have earned that wp anyways by repping the gk.0. It just expedites the process and makes it worth say squads running the best injectors possible. It also teaches people to terminate enemy clones so they don't get obs dropped by the logi with a 100% tool that picked up a proto squad. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.

Good idea cuz mostly noobs keep revivng you lots of times and people keep destroy teams using the nanite injector. This or they could make that the nanite injector can only revive people who press the help 'x' button when dead.

Lightning35 Delta514 48TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE 44	Posted - 2014.06.24 02:31:00 - [32] - Quote I think that medics should be militia logis, carriying 2 slots for both rep and nanite. , if that were to happen, id like to see the other 2 roles have a change. All for roles for each race are militia assault dropsuits. Keep the assault one for frontline, make the medic a logi, sniper a scout, and anti armor a heavy/ assault. What does any one think?

It just expedites the process and makes it worth say squads running the best injectors possible. It also teaches people to terminate enemy clones so they don't get obs dropped by the logi with a 100% tool that picked up a proto squad. The problem is that all shield tanks become second class citizens when it comes to needles. Reppers are specifically armor based so it's fine that they work best on armor. Needles are not. Until WP gain accounts for shield jump-starting aswell, potential gain would be far too imbalanced. Remember that hybrid tanking and brick tanked scouts are two particular things hotfix alpha has just tried to fix. Both would be encouraged in such a system. I also contest the notion that needles need to give roughly the WP repping the respective HP would provide. Repping is a continued process that reduces your DPS to zero and puts a large "primary me!" beam between you and the target. If either one of you dies or just cuts a corner, WP gain stops immediately. Then you're either without a target or weapon out or he is without reps (i.e. pretty much dead). A needle is near instant, reliable WP and a good one can make the difference between and instant re-kill or further potential gains because you just kept someone alive for long enough to give reps to. This alone should be worth enough to justify losing some potential rep WP. Lastly. WP given should generally represent a just compensation for the risk and tactical value of the action which is *why we are having this discussion in the first place!* I'd argue that rezzing a full PRO Cal heavy is a much more tactially sound action than stabbing the STD gal heavy right besides him and should therefore be rewarded accordingly. Yet basing it on armor HP healed would encourage the opposite. We'd get from one problem with needles encouraging stupid behavior to another problem encouraging arguably worse behavior. Re: Clone termination. I agree that's something that should be encouraged and thus rewarded, probably based on the suits tier even. Contrary to this completely pointless and gamey head-shot bonus, that is actually something that makes a huge amount of sense. You can take a benign object, -you can take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to its source...
