Should We Be Able to Give Our Allies Part of Our Health?

(XavienX) #1

Yes, I literally got 99% inspired by Watsurdeal lol, don’t hate please.

Basically it’s like what Watsurdeal suggested. If you see your teammates that are low on health but you’re not a medic, you can give part of your health to them by holding a key binding, like +3 health every .5 seconds but you can only devote 50% of your original total merc health to your ally. What I mean by that is like, if you are Fletcher and you have 110hp, you can only give 55hp total to your teammate, meaning you can only be left with max 55hp. But if you’re Fletcher and have like 80hp, you can only give up to 25hp since 55hp is the least you can with your health when giving to a teammate.

So, watcha guys think about it?

Oh yea, and sorry @Watsyurdeal if you copyrighted that post :stuck_out_tongue:

There are people in game called medic for that reason. Some people suggest we should able to give a part of our ammo which understandable. But still, there are specific class for that role. Beside that if even they decide to do so, which key are you going to use. That only makes the game way complicated than it should be.

Yo wait up, you seem to have a large hole in your chest. Lemme just rip out a chunk of myself to patch you up with. I think swapping magazines is slightly more practical than that. :stuck_out_tongue:

Right, because that would make sense.

Sorry to say, but to be honest, in my opinion, this sounds dumb.

That’s actually what I was thinking when suggesting this but I mean…games often have a lot of stuff that don’t make sense. For example, when getting struck straight on by Kira’s Orbital Strike, how does your body still stay in piece? :stuck_out_tongue:

Still make no sense since we got medic to do so. The real problem is player’s aweness. One in awhile we will meet a noob medic, can’t blame them, just hope thet get better through time.

Dunno, just a random suggestion. I mean there aren’t like “health crates” around the maps like there are ammo crates. Also ammo can be dropped by Skyhammer and Arty which gives immediate full ammo and ammo stations basically like ammo crates can be set up by Kira and Stoker. But health usually takes a while to regenerate, except for Phoenix’s heal.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Xavien Consider this though, anyone can pick someone up after they have gone down. Perhaps this should be the extent that non medics encroach on the medics’ role. As it stands no-one but fire supports can provide ammo to anyone and sometimes crates simply aren’t able to be reached. If you could provide health AND pick someone up, you could do everything a medic could do but just slower.

It would in a sense make having a medic on the team less important. You could give health, hide, regen health. I know as Phantom I do a lot of the hiding and regenerating. If the medic isn’t doing his job you can still get people back up. If a fire support isn’t doing his job you have to run around the map to get ammo.

So what, mercs are some kind of spellcasters now that can transfer health? That makes zero sense.

Well Phoenix is…

He doesn’t so much transfer health as he just conjures it out of thin air.

Come to think of it, so does everybody else.

Ammo I get, but health? Mercs already regenerate health on their own.

(K1X455) #14

How about looting a dead corpse of his unused ammo?

(Gi.Am) #15

Ok I don’t like both ideas (ammo/HP) simply put not only does it dimish the whole team synergy aspect of the game, and would damage the balance quite a bit (why bring a medic, or firesupport when engineers/assaults can do a resonable job at it themself?).

But most important there is more than enough griefing because people don’t play the way someone else think they should. We really don’t need everyone screaming at everyone else “Give me ammo/HP”.

Lemme go rhino n stand behind and heal my other Rhino basically a rhino with lots of forking health?

Or better yet,

lemme put my buddy rhino on health station and i will stand behind him as rhino and give him health ?!

(Feley) #17

Rhino Assault-Medic… Nope… Nope… Nope… I like the idea of giving* ammo though, but only for same type of weapon (SMGs to SMGs, ARs to ARs, SRs to SRs, etc.)

Phoenix is a medic and he use a specific device to do so (and the same apply for the other medics in the game). How do you explain Skyhammer randomly heal you?
