Thread: The shock lelvs are reducing your medicines effectiveness
BF used to be called "Shock wounds." Looks like the message never got changed.

The last dev word on them was this.
They start at 200.
at 201, they reduce your healing at number / 10 as a percent.
so 201 is 20.1%
300 is 30%.
max is 1000 (100%)
Nobody is currently sure if the message is bugged (at 300, but counts effects at 200), or if the devs bumped it to 300, without telling anyone.
BF may also affect other things in game.. I'm not sure.

Yeah, the "shock level" message is due to your patient's BF.
Why? I dont know. Seemsignorant to me. The only time shock level should affect OUR healing ability is if it isour own BF levels.
Maybe this is bugged and is in fact supposed to be based on us and not the patients?
Nope, it's always been on the patient. Never, ever, EVER made sense to me. But they raised the level that the BF would start effecting our healing back in Beta when we would complain that people had to FIRST visit a cantina before the hospital due to their handful of BF effecting our healing.
I've seen the message but have ignored it due to using high-end woundpacks, so I never noticed that it still said 'shock levels'...
only thing I've been able to figure out is that I was diseased (for like 2 days) and ever since then it's been happening...
I don't see a huge difference in my healing, but still...
Hmmm I was on dath too...I still have it tho even after hitting numerous other planets...
Do you still get it?
I think that you will find that this message appears when your target has Battle Fatigue of greater than 300. This means that your heals do not work as well.
Send them to the cantina first.

Your patient is still in shock from the battles s/he has been going through, and thus can't rest and let your medicines help the wounds heal. When you are using Mind points to heal someone, you're not magically transfering mind-energy to them (that would NOT be SW, ya know), but instead, are concentrating on getting the medicine to them in the right doses and in the right manner. So your own BF wouldn't affect them at all, so long as you have enough 'concentration' to be able to apply the wound pack (if you don't, your mind bar is too low, and you can't).
If they are too panicked or shell-shocked, they're too jittery or move around too much, and thus your wound healing is less effective. That's how I see BF affecting your healing.
