I was thinking an alternative to the MEDIC shout being used at full health would be having a second clip that plays with full health instead of less than full health, with the class saying something like "I'M GOOD!" or "THANK YOU!" when at full health.
In the heat of battle, you don't want to have to repeatedly aim at different players (sometimes unsuccessfully due to the unintelligent homing of the beam) and tap alt fire just to figure out who actually needs healing. You want to be healing the wounded ones immediately, as fast as possible, and you don't want to waste ammo, either. It definitely does not cost 0 ammo to check people, and those little bits you spend add up when you have to check multiple people or have a hard time actually hitting them with the beam.The behavior of the beam is to home into any player, but don't heal bosses of course. It has its good and bad points ; yet if it wasn't homing it would be impossible to heal anyone "in the heat of the battle" because there is no time to fire it accurately. I know it definitely doesn't cost 0 ammo right now, that's actually an idea I proposed for the future ; with a fast fire rate, the heal test (tapping altfire) could be fast and useful even "in the heat of the battle" (and assuming you keep an eye on the players fighting) -- and, being able to directly see the player's health in your crosshair seems to be a complex thing, I don't even know if I can code it .//.
Speaking of which, I should mention that as bad as a medic might have it when it comes to communicating with other players and evaluating their needs, engineers have it far worse. There's absolutely no way to tell who's low on ammo or got stuck with a poor weapon selection, so you pretty much just throw stuff at people and hope it's useful somehow. (Because like I said, people don't want to use the chat and leave themselves open to attack.) Pretty much the only sort of strategy you can make use of is to follow around a skilled player and keep him well-supplied, but it doesn't feel like much.
Finally got around to making these.Tauntspamming exists also with vanilla skins, you can tauntspam with Gutsman's ass, Auto's truck, Sonic the Hedgehog, the beloved Mario face, and many other skins can as well.
This is very much part of my idea to stop rapid "MEDIC!" chorus sequences in the maps, where it instead displays one of these speech balloons over your character for two seconds each time you press Taunt.
If your HP is less than full, it displays the white balloon with the red cross.
If your HP is full, it displays the red balloon with the white "no" sign, indicating the player is fully healed.
This would help healers know who's wounded in battle and aren't just shouting "MEDIC" for the heck of it.
I'm wondering if Stardust has played any games to find out what characters to put into the next version of Saxton Hale.On this point chances are very high to have more Mega Man bosses ; most of the time THE best choice ever for me is a Mega Man crossover (between Mega Man and another series, like Dio Flash or Tomahawk Talbain represent this idea), yet character from other games are acceptable as well.
