Faction Bandages

What is the deal with faction bandages. I don't understand why they were removed. Some Developer's keep saying it was in error and they're going to be re-added, other's say they were removed by design. I want to know what the deal is, and if/when they are being re-added. I think it's unfair that they were removed when everything else was kept the same such as super nova potions. Please make your voice known on this thread and support getting us our faction bandages back!

Thank you,

We need to keep crucial things like this. It is a necessity for some field fighting templates. Healing is really a thing of the past anyway now days. Most healing is done through Mysticism, Chiv, Magery, or potion enhancement, which could be the reasoning behind removing this. However ,it has other beneficial uses.

The whole point of faction bandages is they remove curse. I think they need to be re-added ASAP. What is the point of building an all 70's suit if you're going to be cursed and have all of resists lowered to 60. Yes, I can apple the curse however, if you blow your apple on a curse you don't have it to remove mortal then you die. Not only that but if you remove the curse the mage can just reapply it. There's no cool down or anything which isn't fair. Everything seems to spam proof against spamming it on a player except curse.

If they're put back into the game they need to be changed. Shouldn't be effective regarding healing/removing effects without healing and anatomy. Just like super novas aren't really effective without alchemy. Personally, I don't think they should remove curse either. You have apples for that. Only thing I'd like to see them do is res VvV pets without requiring heal/anat.

Id like to see them back too... but I disagree about curse. The balancing of mages & dexxers has always assumed 60 resist for the dexxer. I know with 4 sec bandages + 50% EP and an interupt here & there I won't kill a dexxer if he's not cursed. One of the most annoying things in the world is a dexxer that applies is apples wisely ONLY when you've got off a full dump & just before the damage hits....

I never really used them after they nerfed them initially. If they were reintroduced like they were originally it'd be cool or at least untie the timer between apples and the bandages. It doesn't even have to heal and remove curse at the same time.

Otherwise, they're worthless anyways. Just carry apples.

Wrong, faction items are not gone they're all still in the game except faction bandages they've just been changed to VvV items maybe you should pay more attention.
