Armories need to be more consistant healing/reloading

sotanaht

I always seem to have trouble with armories not healing me when I'm up against them until I change to another side, or they might even stop mid-heal until I move again. There are all sorts of things I try to get them to heal me or figure out why they aren't doing their job, like circling the armory or standing on a corner with two sides open at once.

I'm not really saying that armories should heal FASTER, I just want the healing to be more consistent and or some kind of indicator to explain why I'm not getting healed and when I will be healed again next.

You need to be looking at the armory to gain both health and ammo, not looking around. I agree that this should be said <i>somewhere,</i> though.

You may be right but I don't feel like that's the only thing at play here. It will need some testing when I have the chance.

You basically have to hump the armory. Every time you pelvic thrust into it, it heals and replenishes your ammo.

You have to be looking directly at a flat "face surface" of an armory for it to heal and reload you. It does not work on a corner. If I remember right though it does work if you are on top of it looking straight down (again that is LOS at a flat face). This keeps marines from potentially acting like a sentry and just turtling up against an armory. Imagin an armory surrounded by marines that are continually being healed and reloaded...silliness. The point is to sacrifice vision for free ammo and health that a comm doesnt have to drop for you...which makes sense

^ What he said.

The armoury can only heal so many people, the more people hump it the slower it will heal them.

This restriction was brought in when they allowed armouries to heal armour again (still think this should be limited to advanced armouries).

So if you have a whole stack of team mates...just wait till some finish healing then try.

Armories run out of energy if I'm not mistaken. So you could be trying to use an over used armory.
