Geeko Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 After playing the server for about a week something I have noticed a lot is that very few players play medic. From what I believe this is because there are other ways people can heal without needing a medic and also the job being a lot less rewarding than other jobs. I do not personally play as a medic but I think this should be improved to add more variety to the jobs players have on the server and for medics to be more useful. So here is my idea... Since most of the time there aren't any medics online, I think it would be a good idea to remove the entire medical branch and have medical jobs in each branch. By this I mean getting rid of the medic jobs and instead adding jobs into other branches, for example, a gensec medic or a Nu7 medic. This might seem crazy (because it probably is) but I think this would be a good solution to the issue of not having enough medical players online. Personally, I do not want to play the medic because it takes up an entire branch and also primarily focuses on healing other players which is a very small part of the game where as gensec focus on controlling D-Class and researchers focus on testing D-Class with SCPs. This idea would fix the solution because it would no longer take an entire branch and players would be able to heal others while also having a more important job as well. Obviously this idea isn't perfect so please add your thoughts to it as well because this is definitely becoming an issue. 1 R&D Chief Inspector and Poop Inspector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Twix Bar Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I mean, yeah. That is a bit extreme to just... remove a branch. And, saying Medical is a small part of the server because they just heal is like saying Security is a small part because they just control D-Class. If Medical can be replaced by jobs in other branches (e.g. a Nu7 Medic), then why can't Security be replaced by say a Nu7 Security Force or just have any and all Nu7 do Security's job. If we're at it, I'll take your example of Research as well. It literally just does roleplay with SCPs, so why not remove it and allow anyone to do testing. It's not that hard. Also, there's Maintenance. They just fix ccs and what not, right? There are already MTF classes that can do that. Lets remove Maintenance too. The reason why this doesn't happen is because the server would just become much more of a TDM than it already is. Every branch contributes to the roleplay. The RP focused ones (Medical, Maintenance, Research, CI RnD) much more so, and removing them would just remove a huge portion of the roleplay. This is SCP Roleplay after all, not SCP Team Deathmatch. Fuck. This is a tangent. Yeah... Tl;dr "I mean, yeah.
