Emergency treatment kits cause blindness for 30 seconds due to need to rebuild the retina, so Doc heals, particularly "Total heals" should operate the same way.
This way all you team players can enjoy the game operating on the mini-map alone, like solo players now do. Or you can all stop fighting after each mob and enjoy a 2 minute siesta of healing with the standard treatment kits.
We are only the slowest leveling and weakest characters ingame with no boss loot, good thing we now have the option of either running around blind or sittting down for 2 minutes between every challenging fight to heal.
Oh sure, I could just kill greens until 200, but isn't the fun in the challenge. Or do you team player just get together to kill greens and greys?
I envy you guys, being able to flow from mob to mob, giving the game a sense of flow, rather than stop and go rush hour traffic. If I had the time, I would join you, but alas.
But I invite you to join me in my world of darkness and stagnation, bring a white can or a good book.
(Yes, I do realize that Emergency treatment kits were designed to come with a penalty- I would gladly accept 75% weapon skills for 15-30 seconds, rather than the time sink they have devised.)
PS: Thanks to Funcom for just deleting the most active forum arbitrarily, without warning. Have you guys heard of "Rooted threads"? You can put this at the top of the forum stating that it will be deleted at X:XX GMT so people can transfer active threads. Just another PR blunder.
