Of Medics


(kyleb) #21

ya [B]Visa, that happens to me constantly while playing covert and i sure as hell file for it because the medic is just being a bonehead and needs to learn. or when there is one last enemy and i step back around a corner to reload only i am capped from behind by a medic who thinks he is trying to help, it is just downright annoying so they get the complaint. but it is not like always file for it, i still give a thank you if i was calling for a medic. but some people are just damn stupid about how and when they do it and for them i do type out a “please don’t do that” when i have the time to but sometimes i have better things to do and i figure that a quick f1 gets the point across. unfortunately some people still have the “if someone has like 30 health or under I generally always tk/revive” attitude.


(ColdBackHAND) #22

I hope we never meet in a server because I will tk revive you. All you are is xp whore. Now the tk revive covert in uni is lame no aurguements about that.

c-ya


(kyleb) #23

damn it, why do so many people have to make argent assumptions about crap. i could care less about my score, but i do like for my team to win and battle sense can often be an important factor in that. on top of that, not only is tk/revive on a covert in uniform lame but same with a covert about to grab a uniform only to have it disappear because of the time wasted on the tk revive, or an engie with a clear path to a plant, or a fieldop that was just about to call in artillery and keep the whole damn team safe; in this game seconds count there are lots of bad moments to pull a tk/revive and if someone does not understand that i sure as hell am going to file just for the off chance that it might drive a little sense though their thick skulls. :angry:


(fluffykitten) #24

So do you file for the 90% of tk-revives that take place well behind the fight too?


(=MLK=FOO) #25

kyleb,
If I am the medic and you file on me for tk/revive, I will leave your ass to rot in limbo. I will not pick you up…Period. Better hope I am not the only medic on your team, if so your screwed. Lamer.


(Majin) #26

Ugh.
Kyleb, please, for the love of god, make your posts readable.

You don’t use capital letters, you make bad run on sentences, and everything you write is one big paragraph.

I can’t read what you say to argue this point any longer.


(Hewster) #27

well I understand why TK/revive is used, and that when used well is a
bonus for all… however …

I don’t appreciate it on pubs… clan play is ok, but on pubs wait for me to
die please… I won’t file initially, but if i say “please don’t tk/revive me” in
chat I mean it :wink:

(I guess it a control thing hehe )

Clearly I wasn’t specific enough when stating “when someone has 30 health or less I generally always TK revive.”

I usually say any good medic will TK/revive… but now I have to rephrase… (even tho I’ve never met any of these people who tk/revive while planting dynamite/taking a uniform/while in uniform etc). A good medic will TK/revive when appropriate. Not while planting dynamite, taking a uniform, etc. Only a complete retard does that.

And Hewster, if I’m on a pub with you and you’re down to minimal health and you and I are both going to make a run for the objective, and for example you’re running ahead of me, I don’t want to have to try to raise you in enemy fire, so I’m going to stop you by tk/raising you. That way we’re both at full health, more strength and numbers and have a much better chance of accomplishing whatever we’re trying to do.

However I’ll respect any “don’t tk/revive me please” request I get. Although I’ve never gotten one yet.


(|Robot|Bender) #29

1st off, i am not a noob, so if you don’t like what i’m going to type, disagree but remember i am no noob.

I :banghead: :bash: :angry: when i’m tk/revive. May be great for you, but for me it pisses me off.

I give medics a few warnings like “i don’t like tk/revive please wait until i die. Kthnxs” but i don’t do it acting like a jerk.

HOWEVER…if a teammate has ASKED you not to do that and you keep on? I’m filing.

You piss me off? I’m filing. Go do that to someone else. I last pretty long in battle and am really good at keeping my back to health areas and groups of medics, so i can usually take care of myself.

I play as an engineer, and i don’t care about XP or Battle Sense. I just like the “flow” of the game and when you keep getting shot in the ass beacuase of someone trying to “help” you, i can see why people file.

I’ll file on your ass in a second. I asked nicely, you won’t stop? File.

And if you don’t like, get your noob ass to another server and off the one i’m playing…

:disgust:

First off, lol @ Majin!

I am sorry for not realizing that you require something as superficial as capitalization to comprehend the written word.

I am also sorry that i did not respect the fact that you cannot appreciate the difference between a run-on and properly punctuated complex sentence.

Lastly, i apologize for confusing you by putting upwards of four related sentences in the same paragraph.

When talking to you in the future i will make a conscious effort to follow your lead.

I will capitalize the first word in each sentence so as you have that extra clue that it the beginning of a sentence.

i will avoid formulating sentences which require anything resembling an attention span.

I will break all of my writing into little single sentence pseudo-paragraphs.

Do you have any other requests in relation to my writing?

Should i avoid words with more than two syllables when trying to communicate with you in the future as well? :smiley:


now with that out of the way, the follong is not for Majin but the rest of you who dont fall into the “special needs” catigory. :wink:

no fluffykitten, i tend to keep in the fight so that situation rarely comes up for me. however, like i said above, i don’t file on every t/k revive but just when it is done at a very stupid moment; unfortunately that tends to be the majority in et from my experience which is why my innital complaint came out the way it did.

FOO, not really much to worry about there as if i see there is only one medic i am going to switch to medic anyway; especially if you are tk/reviving people at stupid moments and compelling me to file against you. that is unless the rest of the team is all covert ops or something, at which point i will just leave the server in disgust anyway.

AmazinGLarrY, fair enough. your comment reminded me of some bad situations i have been in lately but i can’t rightly say that you are someone i would file against as we have never played together anyway. however please take what i say to heart. it is not just while planting and the like that is bothersome but the two seconds spend tk/revive can screw up what would have otherwise been a well timed artillery strike, or an engines chance to slip up the stairs at axis spawn on oasis unnoticed, or many other situations that can be accomplished with well under 30 heath.

also, thank you Hewster and Bender, it is nice to have some input from others on my side of the argument. hopefully our points will get though.


(Riftgarde) #31

I do not care what my team does to me if it wins the campaign.

Winning the campaign is all that matters, the points and skills are just gravy.


(|Robot|Bender) #32

NP

Remember people…it only takes 2.5 seconds to plant dyn on Oasis…i can do that perfectly every time if its timed right…

My suggestion: Don’t TK/Revive unless you have warned/asked the players. If not, don’t bitch if you get hit with a complaint.

ESPECIALLY if you are doing this to a noob, who will not care about the end result, but just the fact that you killed him.

If you gonna do this, don’t bitch when you get tapped for a complaint…this is not a normal flowof the game… :banana:


(Riftgarde) #33

I don’t care if they TK/Revive me, it saves time if he’s low on med packs.
Quicker than him shrugging at me.

I don’t care if a soldier panzerfausts me to clean out the captured bases to reclaim it.

The comedy value alone of these actions cheers me up. :smiley:

A lifespan on complaints would solve this apparent MAJOR gripe.


([B]Visa) #34

I can’t speak for other meds, but as for me I never TK-revive someone when they don’t need it or it’s at a bad time…

The TK-revive has always been an important aspect of wolf (in pubs and matches) and it’s just continued on into ET.

Please also keep in mind that in ET bodies are gibbed much more easily. Therefore, if I have to wait for you to die there’s a high chance that you’ll be gibbed before I can get my needle out, which makes a TK-revive with less than 30 health smart play for the med AND the field ops.

On pubs, I’m looking to have fun. I’d prefer to win but it’s still fun to lose if the score is relatively close. To help my team win I try to use my classes in the best way possible. This means when I’m a medic I will TK-revive when needed.

If someone files on me for TK-revive then that’s fine. The rest of the time I will not give them medpacks or revives. Those will be reserved for the people that understand the concept of the medic in ET.

"If someone files on me for TK-revive then that’s fine. The rest of the time I will not give them medpacks or revives. Those will be reserved for the people that understand the concept of the medic in ET. " :disgust:

Thats the problem with you dense medic morons… :banghead:

And i DO understand the concept of the medic as well as you do…

You think TK-revive is an important part of the game? It is…but if you do it all the time and someone asks you to not do it…then you do it and get called on…you won’t medic them the rest of the game?

This is why i wish the other clases could at least carry 1 medic pack with them. So self-rightous jerkholes that

  1. Get mad at someone so don’t ever heal them
  2. Hog all the packs for themselves
  3. Throw out all the packs at the SPAWN point and then come out into a firefight with nothing…

can’t effect the outcome of the game so dramitcally.

This is why i never count on medics…if they are there they get a big huge “Thank You” and (if i’m playing FO) as much ammo as i can give them in repay. Otherwise, its ammo bunkers for me or a suicide attack (which has worked).


(=SWAT=Shadow Fox) #36

Ok, a tk/revive is done mostly because med pacs are not coming out my ass, a needle prick starts you out at about half life. SO a needle prick and a few meds and your on your way.

Doing a tk/heal in batlle is just wrong, it should ONLY be done when the medic is SURE that he/she will be able to re heal the one he dropped.

If people say plz dont, thats simple? not always, dont think that they tked you just to heal you, it might of been a stray bullit. Never know.

Its just a game try to enjoy it and bitching DURING the game doesnt let anyone enjoy anything.

Im sure your all great players, and great players have diffrent ways of doing things, best thing i would say is just try to get a feel for who your playing with before doing anything that might get you in trouble.


(Ant) #37

It seems those who complaint about TK/revive are noobs or think they are so valuable to team that every second is important. I belive a good medic who really tryes to keep team healt up can help team much more than one arrogant complaint filing “leet” soldier.

Of course TK/revive for covert-ops wearing enemy uniform is not good thing to do. But filing complaints can do more damage than loosing one covert-ops who think he is irreplaceable. Good medics are hard to find and sometimes even one can change the balance of the whole battle.

Filing complaints makes it harder for medic to heal the team, it makes engineers too afraid to set up defence with mines and field-ops can’t use air strikes or artillery for support.

Filing complaints hurts the whole team. Please, don’t do it if someone is not killing you just for fun.


(Coolhand) #38

tk/revive is an exploit. Don’t do it, and all the arguments will go away.

:stuck_out_tongue:


(fat boost) #39

I don’t TK/revive at all in ET. As some of you may have already noticed, the majority of the ET community is composed of stupid point-whoring asshats who will actually subtract points from thier team when you try and make it easier for your team to win.

I’m wondering if some people even realize that there are teams in this game at all. Or objectives for that matter.


(SCDS_reyalP) #40

If the devs thought it was an exploit, you’d think they would have taken it out of ET instead of making it MORE effective.

Do the math and the arguments will go away :stuck_out_tongue:
