Is there no way to heal yourself?

EVILoHOMER · 2012-10-10, 08:11 PM

I could have sworn you could go to the terminal before and heal up but it doesn't seem to do that any more. It's so annoying, especially as a max unit because the health doesn't regen, as it costs resources I think it should regen like a vehicle.

Not medics ever heal, they just run straight past, I'm not sure if that is an issue with the UI not communicating I've got low health or what not. That said we definitely need to be able to heal ourselves at the base.

Also what is up with being killed as a max unit by an enemy tapping you with a vehicle? The guy just gave me the slightest touch and dead......... I was trying to get in close range away from his guns, just so dumb how much damage you take.

Max units cant be healed by medics they require engineers to fix them.

you can get personal heal stuff via certs then you buy them like the spawn beacon. also medics can heal ya ect

Medics can heal themselves. All players actually have two different ways currently to heal themselves. If you could be bothered to check the cert aspect of the game, you would know this.

They removed the feature of healing yourself at a term because it basically took away from the need for medics.

Yeah, there really needs to be at a minimum healing terminals at bases . If your at big fight and you stand in the right spot use Voice macros for repair eventually you'll get one. If your non Max just switch to Medic to heal and switch back.

when they decided to stop having equpiment terms heal you fully(which was badly needed), we did say there would be a need for medical style terms in bases like they had in PS1.

You'd think I'd get sick of being right but so far that hasn't happened

I was just going to ask about what Helwyr said to do.

That's probably because no one wants Combat Medics and purchasable healing devices to be useless except you.

You won't always have a medic/engineer nearby you in combat and maxes can't use healing devices or your infantry guy could be spec'd to carry spawn beacons or another tool needed for combat instead of a healing device.

Having medical terms just makes sense as they did in PS1

As infantry your shield regens so it is something and the same as vehicles but as a MAX it doesn't regen and it costs resources, yet engs can repair vehicles.......

MAX Units need to have the vehicle regen or not cost any resources.

I can't help but think that there should be a very slow regen that kicks in 60 seconds outside of combat for infantry too.

If you've not been in combat for 3 minutes - you've healed.
It was insantly changing classes to heal. It's instantly healing as you duck behind a tree that is the problem.

The game has an ability for medics which is IFF. Heals friendlies. Harms foes.
We should have this as a low level field in spawn rooms too.

Regen is bad. If you're behind enemy lines and have half health, you shouldn't be regening health. Have a medic along or face the consequences

As for spawn rooms, you can't get back into half of them y'know.

Engineers can repair Max armor, and Medics can heal them.

If you are by yourself and need to heal and you can get to a terminal switch to medic, use medic AOE heal (F) that heals yourself then switch back to the class you want to continue as.

Obviously not suited to max units as you would need to spend resources to change back to a max again.
