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

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?[/quote]

I wasn’t talking about the heals I was talking about him being a fucking wizard.
You’re a wizard Phoenix

What about Sparks giving you ammo in front of Skyhammer? lol

(Jostabeere) #24

No.

(Samniss_Arandeen) #25

Only if they use the same primary weapon as you. Otherwise, there’s the Looter augment for that.

You mean like this?

We can already revive people though.

The only I way I could see this working if giving everyone a Syringe that replaces health regen, and you can choose to heal yourself or others.

But that wouldn’t fit with this game honestly.

Well you do have a point, really, I kinda just randomly suggested off of your idea hah.

that could be a cool merc though. A medic who has a bigger health reserve and regen who instead of healing with packs gives people some of his/her health.

Sorry that’s a psionic spell and the DM banned psionics. Besides, Phantom ran off with my D12 yesterday and I haven’t been able to find him.

True but the current meta I think for Dirty Bomb wouldn’t allow that, even my giving a clip to an ally idea might be a bit much.

But I feel like if people don’t have a soft solution to something like no medics, or no guys who can give out ammo, or nobody who can plant, actually adds to the game play. You can make a serious trade there, without affecting the game’s meta.

I like that we can revive people even if we aren’t Medics, and that we can plant bombs even though not everyone is playing as an Engi.

As far as healing goes…idk, it could work in theory…but it needs some sort of trade. I think getting rid of health regen, and giving people syringes to basically serve as healthpacks for themselves, would actually work ok.

But maybe not for Dirty Bomb…idk, maybe it could. But until the devs add it we’ll never know. D:

I see watcha mean, pretty sure either of my post and your idea will be implemented in this game haha.

How would that work, like you set up some ghetto IV between you and your buddy and give him your blood?

(watsyurdeal) #33

Read my earlier post Ghost

Think of this for a moment, instead of health regen, we have Medpacks, they restore our health to full, and take a bit to use and activate. So, you have to take a moment to stop, patch yourself back up, and get back into the fight.

Now imagine that with a spin, you can give your health packs to allies. So if someone is lit as fuck, you can choose to heal them, or save it for yourself.

I think some people might save it for themselves but I think team players would totally do it.

It’s an interesting way to go about things, it means people aren’t hardlined into forcing to play a merc to serve a role. It’s more like there’s a soft solution, that’s not as consistent and has real risks, versus one that is a reliable consistent way of doing something, and the only limit is that your merc is balanced around it.

We sorta have it already, with everyone being able to revive and plant bombs, but Medic and Engineers simply do it better.

@Watsyurdeal I think that over complicates the game in an unwanted way tbh.

(watsyurdeal) #35

@Ghosthree3 yea I agree, but it’d be pretty sweet if another game did that.

(CCP115) #36

You’d give him some of your blood, then 10 years later you’d both die of HIV.

Sounds good to me, lets add it in.

As nonsensical as this suggest is, it would be kind of a cool mechanic in another game. Perhaps one with undead or robotic player characters.
