ENGINEERS are in trouble!

[godman]

i buyd a level 60 engineer engineers arnt deing out many buy engineers they are good in squad

if you have a storm,storm vs engie,engie the two engies win they are un beatable because you heal your mate and your mate heals you when your repair droid is reloading

and i do the mat mostly i go earth round matting ppl lol


Pst engies rule!

 

[Adrana]

Amen to that! Couldn't agree more. ^^

 

[Astraeus]

Engies are Great Ships - Weak by themselves - But Great in Squads - I love Engies ^^ :mrorange: They also fun to Fly

.... how dose this keep going back to PVP.
engineers are fine PVP wise....

this thread is about them not getting XP in a party while they are healing.

this thread is about them not getting XP in a party while they are healing.

no but if u would get xp for healing <during missions> people that are not into shooting would have a place in the game too.. thus more players thus more engineers.

on of the arguments brought up is that less engineers appear in the game.
the xp comment was not ment for pvp.. actually imo healing during pvp shouldnt give xp then.

Hello and welcome to Sim City in Space. You are playing the wrong game and always will be if shooting isn't your thing.

 

[Toorimakun]

ok granted no xp for healing in PVP.

my main point is that Engineers are getting shafted for doing there job... being keeping party members alive.
i cant shoot mobs and heal my party at the same time... so any mob killed while i am healing i don't get XP for.
doesn't seem like much one mob per skill.... but over time it really adds up.

i am now level 30 and the people that are just as far as me are level 40+.

 

[Starchaser]

Toorimakuun, I would suggest you to train more with engineer, I've been engii for ages and it's amazing that I can shoot and heal at the same time, and I do not need what you are requesting for.
Like Adrana use to say, it is a matter of skill. ^^

I love to be engii, have no intentions to stop to be one for any reason, I have grown with this game, side by side for almost 1 year now, and I am not complaining.

What also amazes me is that I do not see the "oldies" engineers complaining, but the new players.
If you think it is that hard and you need this, and that for to be an engineer, you are obviously not in the right ship, I recommend you to change to a tank or a storm, that would suit you better, but anyway, I wouldn't see that would make any difference, cause you would see any fault even in them for to complain.

If you are not pleased with what you have, maybe you should be in some game where you get all on a silver plate.

I would love some more xp for my engineer, but thats not a problem if I don't get it, when I want to have xp, I have my Storm, Tank or even shock for it.
I just change ship for the matter what it is most suited for.

 

[Toorimakun]

yes new players are the ones complaining... we don't have the extra money for a different kind of ship.
i see you have other kinds of ships... i play soully as an engineer and the people i have played with since the start of my server are 10+ levels hire then me and play less then me.

i can keep up ok with the lower level techs... but the biggest problem is i run out of energy before them.

 

[jonsey]

Maybe the solution is simple; increase the e cap for the engineers because of their healing and mat capabilities.

Cheers

 

[godman]

yay good idead i get bigger e cap!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST IDEA IVE HEARD IN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrorange:

 

[Toorimakun]

well that would solve my problem... but most people aren't very good with when to use skills so they need to keep up on the techs... and to do that you need to have the level requirement to use a tech.

The engineer's rep field actually used to self-heal, but this made it the best tank in the game

I will look at the engy class next week and see if any of the suggestions here are possible and a good idea. Remember, we do listen!

it might sound bit stupid idea but what about make the repair field suck health from the enemy's and put it on youre mates.....???? this might also solve the cry problem for engineers ^^ ^^

ANOTHER GOOD IDEA,u chose the target and suck there health into yrself and yr allies

 

[Tyrannus]

or maybe in pvp, make the repair target (like u said SG) suck the life out of the opponent, and giving to yourself, (but unlike wat SG said it doesnt do it to many opponents at the same time, and it doesnt give health to all nearby friends), so basiclly the rep field and rep target should work in like the same way

 

[sir-vivol]

is this a medic class

or

A LIFESUCKING VAMPIRE ATTACK class ?

lolz ^^

@ Jonny
thanx
i have played the healing class in every game i have played in the last 6 years and would hate to change that because i cant keep up because of my class.

@ SG-Fighter
that actually might be a good idea... that way it would do damage and so engineers would get XP for the kills while they are repairing squad mates.

still have the repair target and protection skills to find an answer for tho.

- - - - off topic - - - -

Hmmm.... i can see how repair field could be used to make them a good tank.
well i cant think of any way around that other then how its set up now.... that sucks for me. >.<
