Hello all. I was just thinking. player hospitals are sorta useless atm. its only plus 100 and med droid is plus 110. So in a player city or anyother city, you never need a hospital.

Why not make a item called "operating table"

the operating table could be placed in a player hospital. any player that lies down on it would be able to be healed or buffed at a greater rate. IE it gives a bonus of like 130 instead of a med droid 110. this would make it so people would actually use the med center.

I know there is just a /sit command but it would be really nice to see a player beable to lay down on an operating table. the decoration of the player hospital BEGS for a operation table.

What do u all think?

I like the idea.

You know whats funny...they spent all that time making stupid little emotes like /burp, /fart, /flower, /dance (which looks nice, but what is the point?) and the myriad of other emotes, yet they dont have a /laydown, or /use bed command? Come on, when you get incapped you lay on your back, granted this would look funny if they used this animation for /laydown (head off to one side, arms and legs spread in different directions). With so many problem in the game i wouldnt want them taking time out of thier busy schedules to introduce something else that might potentially be bug ridden, but it amazes me the number of emotes and no one even thought "hey, we have these nice beds, lets let people laydown on them"

I like the idea of med centers having higher medical ratings tho, sry for the tangent.

P.S. Why is it when you type /dance with no taget you gracefully (more so than a Dancer with Formal Dance, i might add) dance around, but with a target selected all you get is stupid bubble over the head that says...so and so drags so and so out on the dance floor. Why not have your character walk up, bow, and then the two chars dance gracefully around the area? Sigh...so much to fix, so little time.

This is a good idea, as it is right now Med Centers are only good for auto heal. Maybe a table can be placed on the 2nd floor of the NPC Med Centers too. There is nothing there anyway. Plus it should be limited to maybe only 2 allowed in the same building, and only usable by one person at a time.

Right! It's not the medical centers fault it's the droids fault.

I'm a Master Doctor and I'm calling for a Medical Droid NERF!

All medical Droids should be 50% of a Med center and A HTFB (high tech field base)

Med Centers should be 150 rating HTFB 150 med rating and reg Field base should be 110

The BEST droid would be 75.

If you are a good doctor with good wound medication healing wounds in the field wouldnt be a problem and would give use back to those wound E's.

It would give use back to Camps since they are now 90% useless (tell me why you need one I dare you)

There are a billion player cities and NPC cities you could hand around and buff in.

Entertainers are screwed and anchored to Cantinas why shouldnt we depend more on Med centers for buffing?

Wanna Buff in the field? You better find a Master Ranger.

Why would you then need a 75 max rated medical droid at all then?

To heal field wounds and apply emergency buffs.

(Why do you need a 110 med droid now? So you can buff on the move?)

Entertainers don't get a droid that lets them heal BF on the move....

Why are we so spoiled?

NERF medical droids helps A LOT of people and brings the intended uses back to Camps and Medical centers.

And with the droid invasion coming a droid will get more useful even with this medical nerf.

So it's not gonna hurt DE sales, they will go up regardless and you will still need a droid to heal wounds in the field.

Sounds like a great idea and would bring more use to the player city for sure.....Especially if the player city hospitals were the only ones to have the surgery table. Could give players more reason to hang out there. As it is you never see a doc in the med center....only medics trying to become docs or combat medics.

Ya, I have a player hospital on eclipse and it is basically my house. noone comes in there. I would not nerf the med droid. but i would deffinatly make a operating table or something so the med center can have a use.

Well I do agree to the others, but Im using my hospital and I have made it clear to everyone that it is there you find me. Actuallymaking my hospital a focuspoint for ppl to come and get healed, buffed, getting their stims or just hang out for some chitchat. Makingmy town a tiny bit more attractive to be in. I havent locked myself into my hospital, but Im trying to be there regular andmaking a habit of doingstuffs like crafting, writing emails or just do stuff not location dependent.

Maybe I should care about thoose stats, but as a mather of fact I only think we doctors know the difference. Lets keep it a secret and tell everyone "you have to come to my hospital for me to work properly". Voilà and you have a living hospital

That's my whole point.. Healing has no value beyond grinding. It sad really, considering that's the cited "Interdependence" for Doctors and the other classes. Really buffing is the only value of a Doctor. Healing wounds from a death or two is trivial at best. I can easily heal most people just using /tendwound, but that causes mind damage.. and well I'd hate to make any extra trips to the Lagtina.

Mastering Medic has some uses, I mean you can heal damage pretty quick in battle.. but the ability to heal large amounts of wounds and to do so quickly, just isn't helpful. Unless you happen to run in a guild where people get black barred all the time. Then I guess you'd have alot of friends.. heh.

Now if only I could heal NPC's.. That'd be fun..

I dunno, My MBH has novice Medic and I hate it.......whenever I'm hunting I have my MD on follow. I just can't so without the speed or power of a MD. The problem I see at this point is that.

1. Creatures are little to no challenge

2. Most people can afford buffs, so they never die.

3.Almost ALL people clone now.....effectively removing any wounds that we use to depend on.

Creatures just so NOT do wound damage anymore....NPC's just don't do wound damage anymore. Armor is SUPER over powered and also reduces the amount of wounds we use to heal. I mean, just walking around cities, and I hardly even see people with black bars like they use to have. Medical Centers and Hospitals are all pretty much empty except for little tumble monkeys.

This game is just getting more and more Non Fun. The POI's eliminated ALL fun of exploring, and effectiving introduced nonstop Camping services, where Red Cons don't attack, because you aren't moving....

This game has a ton of problems, and its just very disappointing, and SOE has really disappointed me to no end. Time to go back to Blizzard, now that company knows how to make games.

I like the idea of Med Centers and Hospitals being better then Droids... (I'm not sure that lowering droids is needed), but right now a player hospital is just a different floorplan for a 3 lot house. The fact that you can slowly heal afk doesn't matter, because I can simply run to a NPC Med Center and get some hologrinders to heal me quickly. (Granted this might change when holo grinding goes away). I always use my droid to buff, because he is better then my hospital and every little bit helps with a buff.

Granted, it's nice to be able to heal wounds with out calling out my Med Droid, but really... how many Master Doc's heal wounds? I usally only heal myself or friends... there is no incentive for me to waste timeand resources on wound packs for random folks. No one tips for healing, and well you don't get anything outta the deal except xp you don't need. It'd be great if player hospital enabled a "Heal for a Fee" type command.. so I can fire a heal at you.. and you geta box saying "Bob wants to heal x number of wounds for x credits"( where x = 1 * woundshealed) and the receipent has an accept/cancel choice. It would give both an incentive for docs to be in hospitals and for docs to actually heal.

Yeah, I know I could just heal folks to be nice... I just don't bother to carry around wound packs... wasted inventory space.

I don't heal for a few reasons.

1. The normal person that asks wants only about 60 wounds healed.

2. No one tips.

3. If you ask for money all you get is an additude.

4. I use the best woundpack, because I hate carring 20 crates around....I would rather have 62 use packs then a bunch of B's. Its a waste to heal people with only 20-30 wounds.

5. I don't need the XP

6. I don't care about the XP

7. Oh yeah and I don't want the XP

*grin*

I do however spend a lot of time in my hospital....not exactly sure why....maybe because this game just has 0 content..../shrug

Why not have a surgery function doctors can perform to enhance players or pets via cybernetic upgrades, ala-shadow run style, of course the various components would require droid engineers or bio- engineers, or a combo of both, the doctor would just be the surgeon, such upgrades would have a long degradation rate and would have to be removed once they became ineffective, and of course certain ones would not be able to be place while certain others were in effect, I love the idea of subdermal plating(+10% base def in wichever area it was installed), or enhanced reflexes(better attack speed in millee), cybernetic muscle implants(+10% bonus to strength), holo projector(for 5 mins creats 3-6 hologrames of self in battle to cuase miltiple targets, and generally confuse your attacker, would only have so mush battery life and would need recharging now and then), all hail the cyborg.... man I watch to much sci-fi.
