EXP for extinguishing and unfreezing

Recommended Posts

you got both frozen and burned when a freeze and firebird are both shooting at you.

Is that true? I always thought the two mostly canceled its counterpart out, meaning that you only suffered the burn/freeze affect for little time.

I'm not certain, but at least earlier it did happen I think, unless the main problem was both damaging us and not canceling the damage. I know, that would be too much to ask, but it was something to complain about when playing Highland CTF.

Why do people have to be so selfish? Yes, you do waste your ammo and yes, you do not benefit yourself, but you are helping your teammates and that's just as important

A lot of players are individuals playing on a team, playing for themselves, but they are not team players. Some people have never played on a team and don't understand the team concept. They watch a ball game and cheer when someone scores. What they fail the realize is the player would have never scored if it wasn't for the team helping him.

As you know you can unfreeze a tank with firebird and cool down a tank with freeze. I consider that you should get some XP. But you just help the tank from moving slow (after a freeze fight) or you cool it down ( after a firebird fight or after shooting a long period with vulcan), you do not heal it, like isida does so you should get under 50% the XP isida does when healing.

Thank you for your attention

Noted. :rolleyes:

But yeah this idea seems good, not everyone want to help their teammates if they would get points for it maybe they would help more often.

Some time ago, there was a discussion about this in the forum. One player asked why should he waste his ammo on a teammate? It takes too long to reload. Meanwhile, the enemy comes into your base and you have nothing to fight him with, because you just wasted your ammo on a teammate. 

 

I think there are a lot of players who don't know about stop freezing with Firebird and stop burning with Freeze. I seldom see it done, anymore. I think with this type of update, it would give more player awareness about the abilities of these turrets.

Technically you already do get the EXP for healing them with Isida. The removal of the effects is a nice bonus. Would those stack, or would it remain just EXP for healing?

We are ignoring Isida as of the moment and we are addressing just firebird and freeze. Isida's EXP gains will remain the same. I just believe that firebird and freeze deserve some EXP for unfreezing/extinguishing.

I suppose it would promote doing so like airblasting does in TF2. In that game if you extinguish a teammate you get some health back.

Good thinking though. It does make sense that it would be suitable for Freeze and Firebird players to earn XP when unfreezing or cooling down hot team mates, just like Isida earns XP for healing team mates.

I feel like this is now needed more than ever because by being hit for firebird for any amount of time, you are guaranteed to be dead unless a teammate freeze quickly extinguishes you.

It's a real pain when I'm isida and my ammo is at 10%  while my teammate is at 15% health and burning furiously. At that point, whenever I see a freeze that notices I don't have much ammo left and he outs the fire and then sprinkles some freeze in my face before driving away, I make sure to thank them, no matter the language barrier. 

 

 

 

I don't believe that you should get EXP for this but it is a good indicator for a player to know that you are experienced, or maybe it shows that you read things before playing -_-

Why do people not read descriptions, they just jump straight into the game without asking themselves the questions that need to be asked and then complain when they don't do good in the game when they could have taken full advantage of a mechanic that was clearly stated in the description of the item they were using.
