heinywb Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) i woulda replaced the word healers with dpser since the only players ive seen get over 8 medals consistantly in a single game have been tanks and healers since dps dont have access to the heal and protection medals while healers and tanks have access to the dps medals. of course im not even level 30 yet so this might change at higher levels but.... ...for the rest if us who have played double/triple digit warzone matches, please explain in greater detail Edited December 19, 2011 by heinywb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the medals are DPS related. I have two I can get from healing, the rest I have to do via sniping kills, etc. I do more healing than the highest damage most warzones yet get half their medals.

Sheldon_Ghast Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Never mind, I was thinking of the badges, not medal system. Edited December 19, 2011 by Sheldon_Ghast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brohansky Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 You have: damage medals, defender medals, healing medals, guard medals, killing blow medals, kill medals. Should be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Foy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 As a sneaky operative (at around level 20-24) I can *easily* get the following medals in a full game: * 75k healing * 2.5k single heal * 10 kills * 1 Killing Blow '-- and possibly solo kill medal * 1k (or 1.5) defender points Rarely I can also get the next tier of defender points (in one life, or whatever it is) if I don't die at all (also rare... equally as rare, actually) I do agree there should be more medals, specifically objective based ones. I'm thinking: Huttball: Carrier Killer (Kill the ball carrier) Touchdown (Score a point in Huttball) Unstoppable (Score 3 points in Huttball) Alderaan: Control Freak. (Take a turret, or kill "n" players near a turret control, OR kill a player who was attempting to take the turret?) Voidstar: Saboteur (successfully blow open a door in Voidstar) Bomb Disposal Unit (disarm a bomb!) Raider (extend the bridge) P.S. I think my medal names were clever.

_Foy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Oh, and add a medal for passing damn ball. (I could rant about Huttball for hours, so I'll leave it at that.) Maybe some "clutch" healing medals too... for healing people who are very low on health? Edited December 19, 2011 by _Foy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is relevant. I get less gear because of a broken system. I heal, interrupt, cc, snare, etc, but I have to dps also to get gimmicky metals? So stupid.

Sapphires Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If your doing a good job of healing, you will get bonuses at the end when people vote you MVP, its quite a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt agree more. Love healing for 300k more than the entire rest of the warfront combined and getting absolutely crap medals for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue is a dpsing healer isnt being a HEALER! Granted sure if no one is dying and your free to cast then out standing... but in the 30+ warfronts I've played in the past few weeks I have experienced maybe one warfront were I had the ability to dps as no one needed my healing attention. DPS should DPS and Support should Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyyr Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Couldnt agree more. Love healing for 300k more than the entire rest of the warfront combined and getting absolutely crap medals for it. This. I hope they fix it because I would also like to be rewarded for my healing in pvp, as I don't dps at that moment. My friend gets double medals everytime.

Fueledbycaffeine Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 There should probably be one more medal for healing, but it's not that bad to get around if you try. Toss a few grenades out, snipe a KB at the end of a fight, fight on nodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrostasis Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 best fix IMO is let the medals get repeatedly earned. That way for every 75k healing I do I get another medal. So when I heal 300k I dont feel like I was wasting my time. Other wise I can just respec and farm it up like everyone else...our sides just going to get rofl stomped.

And since it's harder to hit 150k than 75k make the 150k one worth more also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDRuss Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ^^^^ stupid. As a combat medic, I respectively disagree, there are plenty of opportunities to get medals. If all you do is sit back and heal then yes you deserve 2 medals, but if you fully utilize your char and play defense, then you will be surprised, I usually rack up the most medals in my matches. A gripe that is legitimate, however, is healers don't get MVP love. I've found that it is not the case that people don't want to vote for healers, but they usually don't pay attention and vote for the first number they see (usually damage) The way I've rectified this issue is as soon as the match ends write "Healer Love Plz" and people will realize that they should consider those who keep them alive.

"There are plenty of opportunities to get medals". I'm pretty sure he didn't mean "There are 3 people at sub 30% hp, fsck it, throw out damagelolol" If I'm healing a group, everyone is topped off, and I have more than 80% energy you bet I'm going to start throwing out extra CC or damage. That's utilizing your characters abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I get a free moment I'm letting my heat burn off so that I can save them again in a few seconds and 90% of my CC is used to save my own butt. To get a DPS medal I'd have to stop doing my job I think thats what most of us healers are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
