Doctor Archive

Hello,

The other day I hopped into a battlefield with some of my PA friends. I discovered that Docs can't revive players on the battlefield (well technically we can, but they get ejected from the battlefield anyhow, and they would have been auto-revived when getting ejected from the battlefield anyhow, so there is NO benefit to reviving in battlefield). This is something I JUST discovered, as I only recently got high enough Doc skill to revive players. I really feel that this is a *HUGE* issue for Docs, especially if battlefields are to be the chief focus of SWG play (which, since the game is about Galactic Civil War, I assume it is).

I think that's a good thing. Battlefields are all about tactics and making sure you all stay alive to achieve the objective. If someone gets killed, your team is down by one. There is no disadvantage to the players because as you mentioned, they are auto-revived and placed outside the battlefield anyway.

Actually this is an EXCELLENT Idea... with the 60 second gim period a revived person would be an easy rekill target. at least if they get ejected they have to come back in

If battlefields are all about tactics, why not let Docs revive? That's a tactic. Killing the enemy Doc before they can revive is another tactic. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND why people say it would be bad for tactics to let Docs revive on the battlefield. That's like saying it's bad for tactics to let ANY player use their specials on the battlefield. Completely absurd. Reviving IS A TACTIC. Keeping a Doc alive long enough to revive someone requires tactics and teamwork (e.g. other players need to draw the enemies away from the body, QUICLKY). GEtting to the body in 60 seconds without getting sniped is a tactic. Sniping the Doc as he approaches the body is a tactic.

remember BGs are capped on the # of people that can be in it..so it mught be a way to let others get in...

also once ejected from a bg u cant rejoin until the next battle

Tactics tactics tactics! Blah blah blah!

No reason to sugarcoat something stupid like not letting them to be revived.

I agree with reviving on battlefields, however they would need to fix one critical exploit. If someone gets killed outside the battlefield, they can just be dragged in =p
