I've seen this skill on other servers, and found it very helpful. You're not blocking people's view with your fire because they're already at full health. Just wanted to know if there's a reason it's not available on this server, or if you might consider adding it.

Uh what is it? You assume we play other places and have seen it. maybe describ the skill or a link to the mod if it is a mod, so we could check it out or maybe our own awarness already does this and you have not bought it for your character!

Hey Fryman, just so you understand how things work:

99.9% of the stuff you see on MM is not shipped from Epic. It's stuff we have, or other people have written, and we've chosen to actually add it to the server. So if you see something on another server, there's a 99.9% chance IT is not from Epic, and they have either written it, or chosen to add it. So when you ask us about a skill you've seen on another server, we may not have a clue as to what you are talking about.

Best thing to do is try and find out what it is called exactly on that other server, and see if it is an independently developed 3rd party mutator that we can add. If the server community wrote it, most likely they will not want to share. But if you have the exact name of the mod, link to the mod, or at least the server where you saw it, we can investigate it.

Thanks,

Rich (TW)

If your talking about the same awareness that healers can have, we have had it since day 1, and have even customized it so that you can have 2 different styles to use. You have to buy it and be a high enough level to be able to purchase it also.

The awareness put a bar above the creature that shows how much life they have, we have that already as well as a circle form instead of the bar that is user configurable when you hit the INSERT key. If you have no insert key, then hit the tilde or ` (key above the tab key) and type dwmenu in the console and the menu will pop up. Thats the same menu you use to configure the hoverboard and hitsounds and disabling/enabling things like invisible, beserk etc.

I think this person means an awareness that lets medics see PLAYERS health as a health bar above their heads.

We have a method where you can tell if someone is full of health, you just need to hear the pinging sound when you heal them, it changes when they are fully healed in addition to the visual cues that change when they are healing to being fully healed also. Their skin has a light bluish cast with each shot they receive.
