Thread: Group XP/tip
I am new to the forums, so I am not sure if this topic has been discussed or not, so here goes.
Has the topic of Group Medical XP been broached? If so, what were some of the points talked about?
Has the topic of group /tip been discussed? Is it on the way? Is it never going to get here? What are/were your thoughts?
when you are grouped with fellow medics, you would receive bonus med XP for healing someone. similar to entertainer XP.
what happens to me often, is when I am in a med center, and a patient runs in, all the medics rush to him and heal the crap out of him, good for the customer, bad for the XP. I can get 1 or 2 heals on the guy before he is fully healed by everyone else in the center. I would like to be able to get more XP other than the 1 or 2 heals per patient. but there isn't a process where a single doctor is assigned to a single patient, which i dont think would work, or maybe it would? so I am proposing/agreeing that there should be group XP for the med profession
the med center stim spamming works well, but I have experienced less interaction with the entertainers than the wounded. Also, since I am almost a doctor, I try to let the noob medics spam stimp-a's/b's in the med center so they can get the XP that I got when I was starting out.
group tip i would like to make it easier for the patients to tip the people that helped them. right now, if there are 5 medics in the med center, the patient has to figure out who healed them and tip all of them individually
My take on the hunt for xp desperation is this:
If the medcenter you are in does not yield you enough xp for you liking go find another one who does.
Or why not visit your local cantina and heal the dancers there, they will be MORE then happy to provide you with hours of xp, just come well stocked with stims and go to town.
My main goal in the medcenter is heal patients to get them on their feet and back to hunting/fighting the war/whatever. Xp gained while doing so is secondary. If I want xp I will go somewhere I can gain it at a good pace.
Ofcourse I am since long out of the xp circuit having reached Master a long time ago but this stood true while I was working my way up there. And as a MD I still man the Bestine Medcenter atleast for a while every day.
I know as well as the next medical practitioner that tips vary enourmously from day to day and that players need to understand that in the time it takes them to get as wounded as they are when they arrive at the medcenter they made X credits and in the same time you where hunting making money the medic who just healed you (no matter if it took them 3 heals and 45 seconds or 30 heals and22.5 minutes) has probably made X/25 Credits if he was lucky that day.
I am not sure a group tip would help any really, only higher moral standards among players will IMHO.
