Medical Kit doesn't work/Even health regen using medic doesnt work,Lag related ?

Dreamcast · 2013-05-30, 03:37 AM

Well I been noticing lately that when I use my medical kit, at first it acts like it regens my whole health but then it drops to where my health bar was at before the medical kit.

Weird thing is, sometimes my medical kit works.

Then right now I noticed that even as a Medic when I use self regen, I do heal myself but very, very slowly....

I saw that their was lag in the server so is this what is causing it, anybody else experience this?

Aye, Server lag. Good to know that's back again... Excuse me for a moment...

SOE fix your damn servers!

I've had problems like this previously due to huge amounts of lag (and almost always on Indar with med/glue guns) but never before with medkits. I've heard people complain about their medkits not working on Indar recently though.

Welcome to full continent, medkits are one of first signs of horrendous lag. Other signs: repair not working, heals not working, ammo not ressuplying, infinite jetpack, warping, time travel, alien dimensions of same battle.

It happened to me between half an hour to the end of the ALERT.

After the alert everything got back to normal, after 20 minutes approx.

But I played all the alert with NO medkits and no repairs possible on the MAX.

On top of this could not resupply ammo from ammo boxes.

A nightmare!

Alerts make Planetside 2 hardcore mode.

Hehe, aye. So hardcore in fact that 10 seconds after a fight is over the game might still decide that "Nope, sorry. You're dead too" and kill you with laggy damage

Aye, we all basicly enter... The Twilight Zone.

Medkits on Connery Indar do not work, at least not during an alert on Indar.

Yes, yes they are. You know what still works just as well tho? Restoration kits. Use those till the problem is resolved.

Not for me though, it goes full up, then back to damaged level of hp.

I have not experienced it in GU09 yet (knock on wood and throw pinch of salt over the shoulder) but plenty of times in GU08. Hate to see that coming back.

This is the reason I was even posting last night it your other thread. I really wanted to play my NC on Connery, but after burning 6 medkits without my HP going up over several occasions... waiting for medics to actually fully heal me or waiting at a terminal for my nano-regen to finally fully heal me I decided arguing with you was more entertaining than playing the lag game.

Just stick with restos! Ive been using resto since beta and never had a healing or repurchasing problem ever meanwhile this is the fifth time ive seen medkits break.
