The problem with zs...

[Lobe]

Way too many medics, everyone just runs around healing themselves and nobody else. All other classes are nerfed and/or useless, leaving medic as the most powerful class.

You could fix it one of several ways:

1. Medics are frozen while healing
   
2. Medic bags do not regenerate - instead they get "ammo" from crates, just like everything else
   
3. Medic bags use 2x/3x the healing power to heal the user, rather than someone else
   
4. Medic bags result in a slower running speed
   

Comments?

More medics, more people getting healed?

[VMR]

I liked the 2x drain rate when healing yourself. Maybe 2x drain rate + slower speed. They should'nt be able to flee while healing themselves imo.

[Pufulet]

Make them weaker! they dont have any armor or anything and I think they are too agile anyways

[Jeremiah]

Lobe is right and there are used to be even more medics than that picture shows.

Everyone agrees on the medic issue but they won't fix it

They also need to make other classes more attractive.

No, people see (Quite rightly as well) that the medic class is basically commando without the perks and with the added bonus of being able to heal yourself at an extraordinary rate.

slow runing speed. If your a medic helping your team in a good camping spot you don want to be punished for trying to stay alive then with a 2x drain rate as that would harm your team aswell as you

Its the medic rushers who are the ones who dont play as a team so simply nerf their runing speed when there healing themselves

or a 2x drain if your moving so they canot continously heal themselves.

Commandoes and Engineers are useless now, not berserker since they are like all manly and shit and tank ( block entrance while everyone stays behind them )

[Mr. Darkness]

If I would use Berserker, then only because I like deagle at start, and a weapon to melee with. Nothing else.

I suggest to make medic lose speed on healing and make it like running backwards when healing.

[Damien]

My suggestion is that he needs to stand still to heal including healing himself. This will atleast make them killable again.

We will look into this problem early next month.

What he says. He's the boss!

[Pufulet]

Hail Jesus (Deluvas) and God! (Ywa)

[QTesla]

If the class stats were fixed and they actually went up after a map, this problem wouldn't happen.

You guys are just picking at small things.

[Hundred2]

We will look into this problem early next month.

In Valve time ofcourse

[Jeremiah]

Ah, finally a promise for a fix.

Yeah, go medic and just run around for 20 minutes with the quick cure and Adrenaline and you'll most likely win the match easily. Zombies also think zombines will stop them on maps like shithole but they could easy jump out of a window when the zombine holds a grenade in his hand ready to detonate. (As zombies can't crouch jump making it useless on open window house maps) But anyways nice to see something being done about the medics to make every class worth a try.

[Pufulet]

Out of 30 people usually there will be 20 medics or so running around with a 100hp quickcure adrenaline crap. Its horrible it rages people and thats another reason why people will leave the server. They are overpowered

[stalker-dude(nl)]

I agree, make the medics less powerful or make the other classes more attractive to play.

[Pufulet]

make it so thatMedics cant heal when moving.

Give berserkers more strength again cause they are weak and only heal 4 which is impossible to lvl up since it takes forever.

Commandos need stronger weapons stats and other stuff.

Engineer needs fixing.

Support needs fixing.

Do that and I think the classes are fixed.

I noticed a difference in commando: the chance of spawning with a rifle has doubled from 3 to 6 % and increases 6 with every lvl. But i agree that there are to many medics, to be honest you can blame the noobs, they just pick the strongest class.

Medics should be weaker I think in general. They should take more dmg since they can heal whenever they want.

[Damien]

dmg isnt the problem, its just the walking and at the same time healing which makes them very hard to kill.

[Pufulet]

nothing will happen if we just keep talking about this. All we have to do and can do is wait untill deluvas fixes it.
