do you use lifegiver?

(1/6) > >>

jonny rust:
I am trying to figure out if the life giver perk is obsolete, i.e. if everyone uses it then why have it?

if everyone uses this perk equally and we get rid of it we are all still equal but we get 2 more perk's which we can use for other purposes!

wargreymon19:
Life Giver used for more HP... +1 (4HP) +2 (8HP).... is better for have 200 or 250 HP in lvl 21

Luterus:
Lifegiver might be useless in regular Fo where you have a Save/Load feature. It is not in Fonline. I mostly do PvE and i couldnt do it without at least a level in LG, naither alone nor in a team. My main alt is a crafter, but i don't think my burster would survive a Gang Press encounter without LG. Just to make an exemple.
I can understand your point, that perk is practically mandatory, we could choose more interesting ones instead.. But this is the point of view of a PvEer, and I'm not alone, trust me.

Yes but there is more to it than just having more HP. This can give a chance to make the PvP battled last longer, you can get a chance to survive a LSW burst instead of instakill. having more HP gives game more depth.

jonny rust:
of course it is, but my reasoning is this:

if we are all using lifegiver to make extremely durable yet extremely low intelligent tank builds (which I believe we are all guilty of out of necessity) we could potentially cancel out the lifegiver perk leaving all of our characters "more" equal.

What I hope this will help to achieve is a more dynamic wasteland full of PC's that are more adaptable to their (now slightly harsher yet more realistic) environment while narrowing the HP gap between the tanks and the professors not to mention tanks will have 2 perk slots now available to more interesting and balancing perks. People will need to rely more on their characters skills and each other making the game that much more social and people will need to consider their actions a third time before carrying them out.

Personally I prefer intelligent characters to stupid ones as they are more skilled (a trait I no longer use because characters only survive the wasteland as is if they are extremely specialized) and I find that extremely specialized characters are only good for one thing and are thus less interesting to play with in the long run. So instead we make alts, one for each of our needs, and then rely on caves to share between them which I find tedious. Unfortunately smart characters, while far more interesting to play with, have a very small niche in the wasteland because a highly skilled man with 110 hp will get slaughtered by a mindless juggernaut with 250 HP without much hope

of course this is my opinion which is why I started a poll but I guess it comes down to this;

do you prefer superman or batman?

keeping in mind that the two can't really exist in the same universe (despite what happens of children's television these days).

I would say that super man had only three things going for him. He can fly, shoot lasers from his eyes and he is virtually indestructible. The only thing that made him remotely interesting was that his foes were always equally and ridiculously over charged.

I always liked batman more.
