Medic Assist/Waypoint

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 3:39 am

Too many times when I'm playing online a medic pass me when I am down even when I'm right in front/onder the medic he still runs by me without helping. I think there should be a waypoint system so medics can find down teammates faster. He makes me so frustrated when a medic pass me by without healing. Just an idea and thoughts and other ideas on this

I don't know what could be more obvious than a black cross in front of a yellow square.

^^ Agreed. Maybe the medics run past you because they don't have the supply pips. I play Medic and I have no problem finding downed team mates.

I three agree with this.
Maybe you haven't played Medic yet, but its pretty damn obvious when theres a downed teamate nearby.
Don't just think for yourself. As the post before me said, they could be out of supplies, they could be trying to heal a higher priority teammate, they could be close to fulfilling an objective and worst of all, the area in which you were incapacitated could be too dangerous for the medic to attempt to revive you. Medics shouldnt have to face certain death on occassions to heal another teammate because its more detrimental to the team. If the area is full of the opposing team and you peer pressure a medic into healing you and he dies, surely one of the opposing team will spot that you were thrown a revive syringe or even in the process of reviving and they will kill you with ease. 2 dead teamates sure isn't better than 1. Theres nothing worse than a teammate selfish enough to rage everytime they dont get revived.
But then again, Im biased as I play Medic, but thats just how I see it.

It is funny. When i see my friend play it, he always passes by rooms filled with downed people and no enemies. And we always see medics pass right by everyone. It makes me lol. XD

Waypoints would either have to give Heavy-route only, reducing the speed of Medium and Light body types, or they'd destroy all the fun of learning the fast routes for yourself.

Light body types can get EVERYWHERE in this game.

Try playing as a medic then report back, see what they see first.
It is possible that the medic ran out of supply.

The only thing I've had a hard time with, which hasn't happened too much, while playing Medic is when you're trying to revive a team mate on the floor with other people around, and instead of reviving, you buff the guy next to ya'. /fail.

It's only happened maybe two times.

They may not even see you. If you don't have 'revive team mates' mission on, the icon for reviving doesn't stand out as much, its still possible to see however.

Gah too true! Nothing worse than hitting your skill key to be catapulted into a room full of enemies because you were following a team mate by accident >.<
