Mirdthestrill Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Sometimes when I go to the republic fleet, I just start randomly healing completely uninjured people. Pointlessly. What I want to know is, people's responses are pretty hilarious, but is it rude to follow people around and do that?

CandiceAurora Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I run around healing people as well, though I tend not to stalk them. I'm fairly certain people frown upon that kind of behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brosephiine Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Not for a Paladin. And as a Paladin, it doesn't matter what I'm playing currently... If I have a heal, I'm going to use it! It's not a class, it's a lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiningriver Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Personally I'd go "Huh? Wha? Oh, thanks." since even if I know it's not that necessary, it's the thought that counts for me, even if it random. Oddly, I also find it sweet.

Rodregeus Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If it's a bount hunter doing it with their free heal, it's annoying as hell. You ever head the sound clip for that heal? Then heard it constantly, over and over and over? Especially while in a conversation because it overwhelms the NPCs voice. So yeah it can be kinda rude at times. Wasn't so bad in WoW, when a lot of heals were casts, a short animation and short/quiet sound to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGraced Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Random healing with the incumbent sound effects could be annoying. Of course, I buff everyone who walks by me at all times, so I'm probably just as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I buff everyone who walks by me at all times, so I'm probably just as bad. Oddly enough, the annoying sound effects remind me of Ragnarok Online... where you see casting and buffing all around you in succession. Sometimes it overpowers even the background music (Which I love a lot). That, and the massive flood of chat. I'm also guilty of buffing random people. I think it's helpful... but I only buff them near dungeons or instance areas... In SWTOR's case, my character's level is low, so I don't think I have a buff skill yet.

ryanwylde Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Reminds me of when I played Bu, my Draenei Pirate Priestess in WoW back when I played. "Bu will heal you! Bu will heal you all! In your sleep!" ^o^ Bu - psychotic serial healer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScuffleShuffle Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 As a mercenary, I enjoy chasing people down and peppering them with combat support blaster fire. Some people stop and take it, or i get bored and go back to questing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narny Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If I pass someone who looks like they're about to die, I heal them up, but I don't go about randomly healing people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerihae Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 In SWTOR's case, my character's level is low, so I don't think I have a buff skill yet. [/color][/font] Actually, the first buff you get (dependant on class) is a percentage buff, so it stays relevant the entirety of your play career and is just as useful cast on a Level 50 as it is on a Level 1, regardless of your personal level. I always click on random people I'm passing by while out questing and give them my class buff if they don't have it. it lasts an hour and it's useful, why wouldn't you? Following people around and spamming pointless stuff like heals in social areas could be considered harassment, which is against the TOS, so be careful!

RikHar Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) You log in to waste time doing something totally pointless and useless. It's like the idiots who jump on their speeders at the fleet and begin following players who are buying or doing something worthwhile while bouncing up and down on them. And all, just to see the reaction of other players. This is their idea of fun. Makes no sense. Edited February 2, 2012 by RikHar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom_BiC Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sometimes when I go to the republic fleet, I just start randomly healing completely uninjured people. Pointlessly. What I want to know is, people's responses are pretty hilarious, but is it rude to follow people around and do that? People are talking about sound effects and such, but I have my music turned almost all the way off, and the random sound effects turned down ultra low. TBH, if I was at the fleet, I'd probably not even noticed if I'd been healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom_BiC Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 This is a great idea. How does one give items away? you can drag and drop on them to open a trade window. Or just mail them the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerihae Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Or just mail them the stuff. Dear lord, such an obvious idea and yet it never occurred to me! Why throw away half the stuff you're going to vendor when you could mail it to newbies just by sitting in one of the starting areas and noting down a few names. They may not even realise who it comes from if you write a well-written note to go with it, thinking it's another mission update thing from an NPC! I am so doing this next time I log in.

Valeena Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hah, yeah. I randomly drop my aoe heals and start heal bombing people inbetween warzone queues. Sometimes other healers will start healing me back. I've never followed someone around the fleet doing it before lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajackz Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Take this obsessive need to heal other players and channel it into pvp healing. That is where we could really use your kindness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamajawn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I regularly heal people on missions when I see they're having trouble. One time, one guy even thanked me for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrong_turn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've had it happen. Its just sort of a benign action so I don't mind it. Also when I play my healer I do it to or lay on Force Armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not so much that as following people for a short time until they either start healing me back, or jump on a speeder or go up an elevator.
