First Aid in Turn Based Combat
« on: August 16, 2012, 11:12:18 pm »

My suggestion is that the First Aid skill be usable in Turn-Based combat, as i am a non combat medic it is annoying not being able to heal inside of Turn-Based combat...tbh i dont have a huge essay about doing the reason of doing it or anything i just wanted to suggest that this be changed, thanks.

terrible, while you are waiting in TB, your cooldown will go away and you can FA yourself again and again

If it takes 5 ap you'd still be wasting more of your turn, not like tb builds cant kill you twice over anyways

You would be more effective with super stims since they take less ap and can be used multiple times a turn, thats not a great argument against it. Not hard to outsmart this games AI.

When in turnbased combat you could pause all cooldowns, and when someone goes through their turn it -30 seconds to cooldowns for that particular person.

I'm pretty sure one of the devs stated that they wanted cooldowns in TB become turns instead of seconds. This was the reason FA in TB was disabled anyway.

I still can be reached over e-mail if you somehow need anything from me. Don't see a reason why you would, but if you do, e-mail remains the safest bet, as I do not visit this forum reliably anymore.

Better with -5 seconds since 1 TB turn is 5 "seconds" long.

Easy fix, make the timeout, equal to a certain amount of TURNS.

Hmmm maybe have it so that if you FA is at around 30% you will need to wait 8 turns to heal, and than when it gets to maybe around 250 it only takes 2 turns cooldown.

This makes sense.  Also the also drawback to medicating in turnbased:

EVERYONE KNOWS: the more time you spend in a turn based battle, the more likely you are to be encountered and perhaps killed. No one wants to spend more time than needed in an encounter, and therefore by allowing first aid in turn based, you are enticing people to risk their lives, for more loot...

So this is a Risk vs Reward ratio we're talking about here.

Allow people to first aid in turn based, you allow others to have more opportunity to encounter them, so long as there is an understandable TURN COOL DOWN for it... Everything should be hunky dory and perfect, no?

I support this idea, however, even when FA is used once in encounters, there is a chance that there will be a endless amount of FA alts with radios parked nearby.
The FA should be applied only once per receiver in one uninterrupted combat, then, the medic will be able not only to heal himself, but also with cooldown everyone else in his team, while not being able to cheat.

I'd like to hear a opinion on this.
