Kazomir Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If you see a tank-healer combo that are working together, they are really tough to be brought down, what buggs me tough ( as healer) is that they get medals for doing defence on me, ending the game with like 9 medals (every time) I've noticed they have medals such as 5k defence, 2k defence in single life, 10k defence in single life etc etc. Why healers dont have medals for X healing in single life also? Since we arent all that best at doing solo kills or kills at all, give us healers other way of getting medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicycookie Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I stopped healing because i get more medals killing stuff. Players always vote for top dpsers too... healers get 0 MVP most of the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jestunhi Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Remove all deathmatch medals. Replace with "healed ball csarrier x amount", "scored 2 touchdowns", "planted 3 bombs", etc, etc. Reward objective play in objective-based pvp, not deathmatching.

I intend to keep doing so until they increase medal opportunities for healers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guardian can get 11, and I don't even use guard most of the time since I don't have a healer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players always vote for top dpsers too... healers get 0 MVP most of the time... same here went sorc dps instead of healing scoring 3-4 medals and zero mvp votes for 3-400k healing is just not worth it when you can sum up 7-9medals for spamming lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohawksinspace Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Are you retarded who even cares about mvp votes. /facepalm I state to someone, who is complaining about not getting MVP votes, that things are not the same on all servers and you flame me for 'caring about MVP votes' ? Read and think before posting. One thing that is the same across servers is players have heads, that typically contain a cognitive brain. Use it before posting.

Aroidan Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 MVP Votes give you more commendations and Valor!!! Thats why people care about it. On my server the person who gets MVP votes is usually to Medals or Healer. In some instances though the top medaler is also a healer. Also I wouldn't say that a healer can't get a ton of medals. Most medals I have seen came from a Consular. I have no idea how they managed to put up over 100k in both healing and damage as well as about 40k in protection but they did it. Also not sure what the spec was sage/shadow since all I had was the icon to go off of. Here is the medals they got though. Assassin Quick Draw 10 Kills 25 Kills 2.5k Heal 2.5k Damage 75k Damage 75k Healing 2k Defense 5k Defense 10k Defense 1k Defender 3k Defender Highest I have ever gotten on my guardian was one less than that as I didn't get the 75k healing.

exphryl Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing that was a Shadow on Civil War? (Only reason I say that is my highest as a tank was 15 and was on Civil War since I have the hardest time getting defender points in Huttball and I have yet to figure out what causes me to randomly get it in void star) Edited February 2, 2012 by exphryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaredSteak Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I totally agree. If healers don't do anything but heal, we only get like 2-3 medals. Meanwhile DPS classes get tons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageLaL Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 How do you create a system that reward healers, but can't be abused? The tank medals can be 'abused' as well, its not like guard is a skill exclusive to tank specs. Dps who have a tanking tree also get guard and can get the medals for guarding other players. So maybe a better question is why should healers do damage to get medals? lets remove the damage medals and put in all healing/tanking medals see how dps like it since they can 'abuse' it anyways. (no I'm not serious) I think a simple solution would be to put in same sort of medals as tanking: 20k healing done to a single friendly player in one life 50k total healing done to friendly players in one life 100k total healing done to friendly players in one life remove 25 harmful affects remove 50 harmful affects etc. These sort of medals wouldn't be easily acquired by non-healers and would easily increase a healer's potential medal count during a game.

Aetou Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 On my server top healer gets the MVP more often than top DPS. Likewise. Then again, we have a pretty tight knit community and appreciate our healers a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzzy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Using the frozen whatever water from tat/hoth for the white crystal, you can get 2.5k, 5k and sometimes 75k healing. Edited February 2, 2012 by Adzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make much sense to rewards things that don't directly help the objective in mind. I love scoring 3 buttballs and getting a meaningless objective score or whatever it is that most people simply overlook. As it is right now, too many people simply farm kills as that's what will get them more medals, which equals more comms, valor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillycat Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I can be healing the ball carrier, healing defenders of turrets/doors and get nothing to show for it. If I switch to dps spec and ignore the objective just killing people the medals are rolling in. You have to be a kind of hybrid healer in this game and spend 50% of your time dpsing or put yourself at a major disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmcbo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 look at it this way- you may not get as much credit, but you're still greatly increasing the chances of a victory, and with that more credits/exp/commendations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure DPS have a tough time getting medals just like healers. As a Sentinel I can't get medals through Guarding, or healing. It's the DPS/Tank capables or DPS/healing capables that can really get the medals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
