As i said idiot ..

Plus maybe people wanna make thousands of different threads so bioware actually look at them?

It was said in a nut shell before, dps can run around farming medals, contributing nothing to the team and benefit more then a healer who's running around helping the team, all the "it's better to help win then farm self glory" crap is bs.. We all want to farm gear or at least most of us, why should a solo wanabe get more medals then someone's who's helping everyone out, in a TEAM GAME.

That said, people are generally frustrated because it's just another show of stupidness in an mmo and me personally was hoping bioware would have been abit smarter with some of the decisions they made. Yeah it's only been out for a little while but it's still a poor decision.

And a healer can run around healing random *******, instead of a fully geared level 50 sentinel that ends up capping several objectives, doing the most damage in the team, 1v3'ing people. Then this same sentinel gets 0 MVP votes because he was highest on damage, whilst the healer gets 3+ MVP votes because he has the highest healing.

His healing was completely useless and spent on random ******* not contributing anything to the game whatsoever, and apparently its my fault we lost the game since i had the highest amount of damage, also not going for objectives apparently.

You see how it works the same way around too?

They rushed the release and it wasn't tested :/

And apparently fixing the Darth title was more important than fixing major flawed game mechanics. GG.

Actually it doesn't work that way. lol.

That sentinel would have gotten:

10 kills
25 kills
solo kill
75k damage
300k damage
killing blow
2.5k hit

The healer gets:
2.5k heal
75k healing
150k healing

The only possible way for a healer to max medals is by not playing objectively. A dps or tank gets his medals regardless.

How is this much different than me stalking a level 13 keyboard turning mouse-clicker in a huttball match because its easy to lay down a lot of hard hits on him?

as far as green bar hunting, if you are used to playing a pure healer red bars aren't top on your priority list. Keep on doing your thing, the rewards will be in the wins not the medals. Mix in some damage when you can and round out your play style to fit your goals, or just cope with the fact that for whatever reason it is hard to balance rewards for healers in PvP
Unfortunately the carrot is gear and healing for wins is slower than killing with occasional losses (and in some cases a LOT more frustrating.) Incentives need to be shifted more towards the goals and less towards individual contribution so that healers can be indirectly rewarded by the fact that damage is around longer to kill things.

The 1 kill is easy to get as a healer (just keep trying to finish people off).

The 10 kills seems to be buggy because I keep getting the medal when I'm respawning and have no active DoTs on ennemy players -> easy to get

With a consular you can sacrifice your health (15% at a time) and heal back up. Pretty insane, should be fixed. I can make the 4 healing medals out of this in ~4 minutes while defending an alderaan turret, thus earning 6 medals (for 1k defense and 3k defense points).



The thing that has been bugging me is the solo kill medal. I attempt to earn it a few times in every warzone, but I kill so slowly that usually when my target is at ~10% (and I'm doing fine with full HP) some retarded teammate shows up AND STEALS MY SOLO KILL.

Healers stand around farming far more than any other role, because it's so easy to do. If you had read the other posts you would see some good points, rather than just calling me an idiot because I point out that this is yet another thread to cry about not getting credit or points by doing nothing but healing.

I assure you, constructive threads get my serious attention, but most people just like to agree with QQ threads because you get a nice warm feeling agreeing with what the majority seems to rage about.

Yet I am the idiot because I don't like copy paste threads about well known complaints.

The real reason you claim I'm an idiot is I don't agree, and it's so easy to just shrug it off by saying "man that guy is dumb"
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Healing is NEVER useless. More people stay up, more chance of winning. Common sense failed you sir.

Do a bit of damage and healing- all healing classes are capable of at least getting a KB, 75k damage, maybe even solo kill. You'll get all the healing medals, likely 2 objectives medals, dps medals and 2 medals for kills- yes, you can never get nearly as many medals as tanks do, which does suck I agree- and with the level of damage/single hit damage you need to do, there's two dps medals out of your reach- you can still outmedal a dps with relative ease though.

Healing people who actually arent contributing to the game isnt useless?

If a healer is healing a player who doesnt do any damage or objective capping worth mentioning, that means that this healer just keeps a player up who isnt doing anything, in return also making himself useless because hes not contributing.

Very nice try though.
