none of my characters that i play medic on are getting heal xp with the medic tool anymore, buf the action skill for medic provides it perfectly. this happened when base defense stopped giving xp edit - it HARDLY ever gives xp when i heal people that are brought down to 15% or health it almost always gives no xp. don't think this is intended.
That's weird. I'm pretty sure I was still getting heal XP for my heal gun earlier. I'll have to take another look at it. Might just be some rare bug
Medic tool is subject to diminishing returns, just like ammo packs and ammo sundies. If you heal the same person over and over, you get less and less XP until eventually you get none at all.
I can understand ammo replenishing giving diminishing returns, since you just throw down the ammo pack and go to your regular XP farm. But healing requires constant attention. You can't throw down a heal pack and get easy heal XP. Imagine if blowing up vehicles or killing people had diminishing returns after a certain amount of kills. This feature is silly
Like phreec said, you were probably healing a lot of friendly fire. It isn't unusual for someone to lob a grenade or land a rocket near a group of friendlies. You'll see a lot of health bars go down but none of those friendlies are going to award any exp when you heal them.
Thats biased! I will go to SOE employees and yell them in the ears for that! And then make them eat a pine cone!
Dont bother with healing OP, just wait for them to die in a fight, kill the bad guy that took him down, rez him, get thanked, get more exp. Its a win-win situation. (Well unless ofcourse you guys are just standing around with no enemies in sigh)
