Re: Multiple players help with Revive, but no XP?

Big problem with healers...no jump revives to get to safe position around corner so if teams are even or god forbid the other team is stacked reviving is a death sentence every time...also people know this now and camp dead players waiting for you to revive.  If the sunflower who I've mastered revives faster then other chars then it must be very minimal.  I've seen the majority of team vanquish games where one or two revives is normal.

  • @Gormey It's not much better in turf. I've played sunflowers for years & unless I'm on a very good team against a very weak one, I'm used to getting 20-30 revives per match - I haven't hit double figures yet! I can only get a good number of revives if people help. Mine's maxed as well & with the upgrades you get great heals, but revives are a lot harder & I really dislike having to use an ugrade slot to allow me to jump at all while reviving, as using the heal burst makes you jump a little & it's 2nd nature to jump to try to avoid snipers.
  • @Gormey Yea the upgrade slot just to use jump or other abilities is stupid imo. But thats the only way to be a true healer.
    People are also self conceited in this game holy peanutbutter. I often make top revive as a non-healer... with only 2-4 revives in turf takeover for peanutbutter’s sake. Funny thing is sometimes with 2 healers in my team -_- hell just this morning I had more healing as a darn Snapdragon than the healer in my team. I only ‘healed’ for 400something!

    @ToastedSarnie I’ve seen the comment ‘healers don’t (seem to) heal any faster’ so many times and I’m like have you been healed or healed yourself often? I definitely notice it. It’s not like GW1/2 but it’s definitely there.

    It doesn’t give you any exp for helping unfortunately but who needs exp when you can in the nick of time revive your teammate and kill that nosy SuperBrainz together! :P
  • @Koochi-Q No, I've always played PvZ as a fun team game. I like healing & support most of all & have never cared about my vanquish rate. I'm far more proud of my GW2 Stuffy hitting a million heals than my highest streak. I don't care about revive or heals xp for myself, but I keep hoping that more players will revive & play heals if there's greater reward. I also find all too often I get the boasts even when not playing heals & am very rarely healed myself unless with all the friends I've made BECAUSE we heal!
    I find it so frustrating how undervalued the role is 😖

    @ToastedSarnie I am with you on that front. I liked being sunflower in previous installments too but more that I could be an offensive healer. First I shoot you to death and then heal my teammate who just died next to me while I shoot their teammate to death! OP sunflower badass!!! XD

    I did some testing and even when you initiate a revive right when someone else did it (so it’s not even at 1/10th of the circle) you don’t get any xp

    You’re too used playing with ‘leveling faster’. I think only then it’s 62 exp cause I always have it on and get that. I think without it it’s 50 exp :P same with vanquish xD
  • @Koochi-Q Yes, I enjoyed offensive healing as well! I noticed the 62xp figure when I was reviving as an unmastered non-healer - thanks, I don't often pay attention to the numbers as long as I'm having fun!
