jasoneg Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 This has dummied down the game and made my job harder as a healer. More and more often healers are getting marked and it turns into a gank fest everytime i try to get involved. I know this because my own team does it. Its bad enough we get the lowest medals awarded but now when you run into a skirmish they see you coming from a mile away, stop what they are doing turn around and all focus down the healers before they can even get involved. I like the fact i need to heal and move and avoid crap, but with a mark over our heads i can even get started before i have 4-5 people on me. What happened to situal awareness, knowing who's who out in the field. I cant even hide behind a pillar because the dam mark over my head fills the whole screen for everyone to see. What's worse it persists through death so they dont even have to remark you, how much easier can you make it for dps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistols Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If being marked upsets you this bad, than you shouldn't be PvP'ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclekaula Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just curious, can the person marked see that they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRobin Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Just curious, can the person marked see that they are? Yep... Its a good way of marking priority targets. Especially with how "tactically challenged" some players seem to be. Even they can get "Kill Blaster!"

EternalFinality Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 How do you know they marked you? You don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaxinRiens Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If being marked upsets you this bad, than you shouldn't be PvP'ing. This. Marking targets is the only way for pugs to counter voice comms used by premades. Its easy to type "kill gun" when in combat than to type XXXXX is a healer, everyone target XXXXX. Get better, or better yet understand that jsut being a healer does nto give you free reign to heal unmolested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple-A Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 At least they have to actively mark you. WoW had a mod that put a third party beacon above your head whenever you threw up a heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRobin Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 How do you know they marked you? You don't! Actually I've been marked before in warzones, not sure if that's a good sign or bad, and I could see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenicus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just curious, can the person marked see that they are? No they cannot. Even if they would remove this feature, it wouldn't make a licking difference. People who actually mark are usually premades, and those guys are probably also communicating on vent/mumble/TS. My premade pvp group don't use the marks, but instead call out targets on vent or skype. Truth be told, it's much faster. This will make no difference.

BardaTheHobo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Atleast only the ops leader can mark you (as far as Ive seen anyway) ive seen non ops leaders use the maker from some vendor but that can be right clicked off you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobings Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Actually I've been marked before in warzones, not sure if that's a good sign or bad, and I could see it. It's likely someone on your team marked you, because you can't see the other team's marks. I like the mentality of pre-maders. "Pugs should get more organized and then they'd be able to beat us" *Pugs get organized, by marking... the only fesible way of being organized with no VOIP* "Marking is an un-fair advantage, it's way too easy for pugs to get organized" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knaivus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If being marked upsets you this bad, than you shouldn't be PvP'ing. If finding a healer is too difficult for you without the ez-mode mark maybe you shouldn't be PVP'ing. Really is it that difficult to locate a healer without it? I think not.

If the opposing team marks you, then you will NOT be able to see it. If your own Ops leader makrs you for your teammates benefit, then you will.

This just in: Other team smart enough to kill healers first, including targeting them with a big ol' mark. News at 11. Seriously, we used to use Hunters for this all the time on WoW. Of course, where the heck are your buddies that are supposed to be using Guard on you and taunting every derp DPS that tries to gank you, thereby making their focus fire into kitten slaps? Healers should have tank escorts, it's the tag-team that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajing Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Actually .. just add a medal for being marked by the opposing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardya Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) They should get rid of the opposition team altogether. They totally get in the way of ALL objectives. Sometimes in Huttball I am trying to score and these #@*%$# $#*@$# players start attacking me. ***? The pubs would probably still lose, or tie.

There's a reason I get zerged by 2-3 Republic players every time they see me. Comes with the territory. Deaths don't count against you. it'll be OK OP. When they come, I just bubble everyone I can before I die, lol. Edited February 28, 2012 by islander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remulan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You should be able to mark people on the other team in pvp, but it should also go away after that target dies. It should take some effort on the markers part to make effective use of the mark instead of marking all the healers at the beginning of the match and having them stay marked until the match is over.
