Thread: New patch broke enhance packs even more ???
I was using enhance D packs last night and they were lasting 60mins +. Tonight I use the same packs and they last 3 mins !!!
OMG, on top of the freezing HAM bars associated with those packs, now they don't even work right... Guess it will take Sony a month to repair this.. any bets ?
I have a bad feeling that doctor issues will not be resolved for a long time.
Why I am so negative? Well, not one single doctor-issue from beta has been resolved since launch. I fear that doctor profession (as most of the "elite professions", just look at the poor commandos) just have no priority for a long time.
It does not make me happy eiter...
What skill do you need to actually use these? I made some health and action enhance packs that require medicine use skill of around 50 - checking my skill mods I have 55 but when I try to use the pack nothing happens at all. No message, nothing.
Do I need some other skills? I currently have Novice Doctor and Int Doct Crafting 1.
howdy
not sure what your taking about damian
i made some enhence packs late last night and they were lasting a very LONG time. of course i am ecperimenting iwith them puting half points on charges other on effectiveness
Cheers
Ok, I've noticed lots of bugs with enhance packs, and I've spent a couple days testing stuff out... here's what I found.
1. If you buff yourself, or someone in your group, while in town or in camp, you'll lose the buff when you leave the town or camp. So, buy a droid that lets you use the enhance packs, and just drag him outside of town before buffing everyone.
2. Buffing people who aren't in your group works fine, as long as you don't group them afterwards.
3. Most of the time the HAMs bars aren't bugged, they just extend farther then you can see. Once enough damage is taken, you'll see your bar start to go down. If you use an enhance pack and food or spices, then you'll almost always get bugged HAMs. The solution to both of these problems is to exit the game (don't logout) and log back in. You should have your buffs, and have a working HAMs... until the effect runs out... then you'll need to quit and log back in again.
4. If you activate a clone, then you'll lose the enhancements, and you can't reapply the enhancements. You have to wait until the enhancement would have run out, and then logout for about 15 minutes. Then you can re-enhance.... the way around this is to not clone... make sure the doc lives and uses revive on everyone.
If anyone else has noticed anything, please add it to this thread so we can all benifit.
/healenhance which is the skill that you need to buff people is acquired at wound treatment 2
so with out wound treatment 2 you can not buff...
there is also the ease of use bug on buff packs...experimenting on ease of use actually increases the med use of packs...this needs to be addressed quickly as it renders a very popular template for a CM/Doctor ineffective (I'm talking about the rez/buff CM styles)
I tried buffing myself in a house very far from town with my medical droid.. buffs only lasted 10% of duration.
I think all my D pack buffs laster a big whopping 5 to 10mins ! wooot !
Those are supposed to last 100 mins !
Guenhwyvar, you are correct about buffing in town...
I tried buffing outside in a merchant house and my buffs held 100mins+. Thank you for finding that out. I can now go back to town and still keep them on.
Ok, I've found outa bit more. It looks like if you cross a town boundery, orgo swimming (and some other random stuff),in the first 10 minutes, you'll lose the buff. After the first 10 minutes are up, everything works fine.
So, what I usualy do is go just outside of town with my droid. I buff everyone quick, and write down the current time. As we head out, if we find that there is water we need to cross, we just sit and wait until it's been 12 minutes since the last buff was applied. I'd say this works 95% of the time... and yes the enhancements are worth it.... they just need to have mind enhancement that are equal strength...
