I'm very sorry to say that I saw & had it happen to myself yesterday..

I'm still new to the profession myself 2/2/1/0, but I guess someone had just gotten the ability to buff on Bria. I was sitting in the Med center healing the people I could & this person is running around giving everyone -400 stat buffs.. The sad part of the whole thing is that all of these people were inline waiting their turn for the master Doc to buff them...

She was told by like 6 people to stop, but kept doing this to a total of about 13 people including myself...

It will never happen, but I agree that someone should know if you are trying to buff them..

Sorry, just my 2 cents

I agree it should be implimented, ninja buffs if they suck can be annoying but its just too fun to ninja buff AFK tumbler's secondary stats

I think the reason we need consent to revive is to stop someone from killing you and having their friend revive you so they can kill you some more and leave you with massive wounds. If you have to give consent to be revived then you can choose to clone rather than get up for another tonking.

As for consent for buffs, I'd say the best way to fix it is to make it so people can consent to de-buff, that way we can get rid of any crap buffs a nija has given out and replace them with the inevitable crap buff we dish out instead

I'm working my way up to to md right now. Currently 2\4\4\2 and the only people I will ninja buff are afk tumblers. In which case I will only buff their action. Everyone else I ask if anyone minds if I give them a low quality buff for xp. it's another 500 or so hp's to all their stats...and most of the new people agree. I don't really see a need for ninja buffing though...I get more then enough xp healing wounds and farming in the cantina.

crap buffs don't last for 3 hours. They last for 20 minutes. . . right?

That would make sense if it were possible. Unfortunantly regard how you die, or if you clone/rez you still have to duel to get in a fight. When you die, you loose your overtness/tef, so thats not a possible combo.

That depends. If you got, say, a set of resources with 1000 OQ and 1000 DR, but had a PE of 1 (or better yet, use resouces that have no PE at all on any of them) AND you applied that buff pack with a droid with the worst med-rating module on it you could get, they you could have a very low power buff that easily lasts for over 3 hours.

I agree with ninja-buffing being a problem. Easy solution is to have to be in the group with your patient, like rezzing or group mind buffs.

And as much as I would LOVE to have a debuff command, it will most likely never happen. Why is that? Well think about it. You think tumble healing is a fast way to level up? Well I leveled 10 times faster once I got Buff Cs.

I have seen griefers in action, and it does need to be addressed. The solution we have heard of from the Devs will take care of this--if and whenit is implemented. That is to allow overwriting of buffs by a higher buff. Also, allowing buffs to be dropped by the player would be a good thing for us to get past the griefers and the buff timer bug.

FYI--you can make long lasting, horrid quality buffs, by using low OQ/PE ingredients with high Decay Resistance to up the duration, thereby allowing this griefing to last far longer thanthe Enhance A packs some use. I am by no means advocating this awful gameplay technique, I only include this to show you that the griefers can make much more than a 20 minute problem for others.

We need the buff overwrite and self debuff options to go live asap.

simple sollution: close the game and restart it. when you get back in the game your buff will be gone. no need to die. takes maybe 5-10 minutes to close out and restart.

I sense the dark side in you.........

crappy buffs last shorter durations - especially unexperimented or failed experimented. More like 1 hour, not 3.

The duration isn't the point....its the fact that people can buff w/o permission. It doesn't matter how long they last, it still puts the recieving person in a spot he should have to be put in.

Obviously you didn't read my post on how to get a 3 hour buff that is crappy.
