Yeah. It makes me reluctant to revive people 'cause I feel even more guilty knowing I just gave them two deaths instead of one by reviving them, if they go and die as soon as I pick them up. Death should be counted when the clone is lost, ie. when the mercenary is unable to be revived.

Sometimes people tell me not to revive them because they don't want to risk dying again. This wouldn't happen as often if the mechanic was changed to perhaps what I suggest above.

Also, all the kitten-talking about KDR doesn't help, either.

the logic is, your health has reached Zero. Once zero has been reached you are dead, the nanites are there to repair the dead cells/tissue/armor it doesnt prevent your death, nor does it erase the past

KD/R is a statistic

if a merc is defeated, they are defeated. It doesnt matter that you got back up again, the ref counted to to five and you got back up, but the judges are still keeping count.

I mean if I get revived by a Logi, Im searching for you guys out there and have in the last few rounds seen some very good logi's, why do I still get a death against my record even if they res me?

That doesn't make sense to me.

That is why they are different. The death is your performance (or not) on the battlefield.

Soo... have a death and a wounded counter? Being wounded would still grand full WP?
I see nothing wrong with this.

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

I never even thought about that, but OP, you have a good point. I typically don't care much about my KDR, but I do look at my deaths during a match sometimes as an indicator of how many suits I've used, and that kind of thing...but I guess deaths doesn't really have a direct correlation to deaths anyway, if you get revived a lot. Right?

Although, it could definitely be argued that WP's awarded should change too, if K/D changes. If downs awarded less WP or no WP, there would be a lot less opportunities to get revived, I'd imagine. Maybe they should just leave it alone and players being aware of it is enough.

Because the guy that killed you has a Kill?
maybe..?

You should be grateful you dont loose you Dropsuit...and dont need to spawn again...and travel to the battle area again...

I dont know i think this is the purpose....

I mean if i kill you, and you get revived, i would have 1 kill and you NO deaths?
Not only it would mess up the ''cloning out'' part of the game, but THAT really desnt make sense to me bruh...
