Thread: All docs read!
could anyone else confirm this?...cause that would really suck big time
Especially in like the following situation:
you are at krayt graveyard hunting krayts, you(doc who can rez) is slain, others are still alive. You clone and make your way back 5k+ run from Mos Entha. During your run back another group member dies say he is the most powerful group member master commando or something...you tell em to not clone since your almost there. You finally get there only to find you can't rez them? That is messed up cause now you have to wait another 10+ minutes for him to get back to the group.
This is not a good situation if true
Bad title, BTW. I would have probably skipped this post if it weren't for the fact that I read pretty much everything on this particular forum. Something like Rez Timer would have been better, just as a suggestion. 
At any rate, if anyone can definitely provide some confimation here on this, I'd like to know about it.
As it stands I think I'm going to have a bitch-session list for our Dev that won't make him happy at all, which is fine by me because I'm sure not happy about some of this stuff myself.
When my server came up after the patch, somebody next to me appeared to have logged in as a corpse. I ran over and tried to rez him, but I got the message "this person has been dead for too long".
I figured this was simply a message I had never seen before, because I usually perform rezzesvery soon afterthe person died. So it didn't bother me -- I presumed the game must be judging by the 17-hour downtime or whatever that the corpse was very old.
Has anyone been able to try to revive someone today and seen this in action? We need to start screaming about this on Q-3PO's October Update Notes Errors thread if this really was secretly added.
happend twice today: "this person has been dead too long" !!
I hate stealth nerfs =/
go figure. The patch notes say nothing about the doctor professions being changed, And what do they do, change things and not for the better either. This sucks.

If they feel that they need to do this for some reason, then I'm ok with it as long as the timer is such thatI can recover from a mind incap, rest enough to get half my mind back, and still have time to res a couple people.
Any timer is absolutly a horrible idea. Buffing and rezing is the bread and butter of doctor prof imo. Anything to hamper that takes away one of our most important abilities if you take part in large hunting groups. I could understand a timer...IF novice docs could rez...and say have the timer increase up the wound treatment speed line. BUT you need master wound treatment...which is waaaaay too high up skill wise to take away such a high lvl only skill
I'll try and get some testing done and see if i can confirm some time tables if its true
Playing Devil's Advocate here... technically it does make sense that you can't revive someone after they've "been dead too long". Think about it? Even if you revive the body, it's just a vegetable. There's only but so much you can do. Even the Borg can only revive people for at most 72 hours after Brain death, but they keep track of the person's consciousness anyway.
Sure, it'll probably suck... but I am never really in a situation where this will really affect me, since when someone goes down, I break off combat immediately and revive them.... namely 'cause I am the cleric, not the tank. =)
