Annoying BMG

[Fallen_Aingeal]

Blame Trion...

*Their lack of attention to the gun{though they claim to be "working on it"} has been an issue since introduction.
*The fact that was previously mentioned about enemies not even "being seen" at an extremely populated event make BMG's and bio nades imperitive to even reaching the score board.
*The introduction of Supreme weapons at the same time as a huge Arkforge gaining nerf/cap pretty much require "score whoring" to gain anything from the event.

These are just a few examples as to why. There are several more.

Take it for what it is...

........so there I was, spam healing at a holiday ark fall with two plate slicer bmgs when a thought occurred to me. Why is it that when I heal someone they don't get poop-shoed?? If you think getting blinded and put in a hamster ball is annoying, imagine getting poop-shoed thru an entire arkfall.... while we bmg our way to first place.

I have played online for almost 2 decades now and in that time I have become quite good at healing. This game is the first and only one that people actually yell at me for healing. I don't do it to "score *****" or to annoy other players. I do it because in that two decades it's become reflex, I feel compelled to heal. Now that being said I do think BMGs are skruggin blinding, I don't know how that's my fault. Seems like Trion games needs to rework their system to me.

Don't hate the healer, hate the devs.

And you're fully aware that the healing you output is nowhere near useful, right? If the healing you do is saving other players, they're probably running around with no shield or armor plates and deserve to die anyway. There's no combat situation in the game in which BMG healing is more effective than equipping a real weapon and shooting at the mob.

EDIT: I played a Priest in WoW for 7-8 years. When I came to this game, the BMG seemed like a neat concept. Then I saw the actual numbers and the blinding that it puts out and I put it away.

I too used to have a "medic" loadout (in fact it kept that name out of inertia after it became my WM loadout; I only changed it when I junked that loadout and turned it into an expo one). There was really no point. In its current state, healing is griefing.

Buff the healing output of BMG so its worth healing with Trion!

I want to bring up a few points:

1) The amount of healing you do is more often than not completely overwhelmed by the incoming damage to your heal target. He's dead either 3 seconds from now, or 5 seconds. You bought him 2 seconds, congratulations.

2) Blinding your fellow player preventing him from being able to successfully fight doesn't sound like a great strategy for winning.

3) Some players have EGO abilities that greatly boost their damage output when their shields are down and they specifically slot long cool down shields to maximize this benefit, you are royally screwing them over with your healing. This is especially true during Warmaster fights.

4) During Warmaster encounters the only goal is to put out enough damage fast enough to kill the Warmaster. If you are not doing damage you are taking up a valuable spot of which there are limited spots in the event. It is much faster to respawn-->reload at handy ammo box-->jump down and resume firing at Warmaster.

While the above sounds overly negative towards a healer playstyle, please note that this is not your fault, you didn't create this wonky cockamamey system, you just suffer the consequences right along every blinded player near you.

This would be a good idea after they fix the VFX, actually.
