Ok so just to make things clear I have a lot of time for healers and revivers. Having someone save me an expensive dropsuit is very pleasing and helps to make it feel like a team sport and not every man for himself, which I like.
However there have been many times when I have been revived in the middle of heavy crossfire and have been killed for a second (sometimes third) time before I've even figured out which way is up. I'm a pretty cynical guy by nature and it didn't take long before I suspected that some revivals were done exclusively to get the reviver WP and they didn't give a **** if I died immediately after, so long as they get their WP.
This, to me isn't cool. I don't know if this is a stupid question or not but wouldn't it make sense that you can only be revived if you actively call for help? I can't see any downsides to that solution but I'm prepared to be enlightened if there are.
I'm not criticising genuine revivers (I love you guys) just would like to avoid being revived when I really don't want to be. |

That's what I think too, makes the most sense to me. |

You have a chance to save a suit, second chance to kill a guy, so stop bitching about it. You don't lose anything from it.
Who's bitching? It's a discussion. |

Don't you think it's a bizarre situation where people are regularly being revived when they 100% dont want to be? To be clear I'm not suggesting that you risk your own neck to save someone only to find out they have selected 'no revive', there would be a system in place where medics could see at glance if the clone wanted reviving or not. I don't see the issue there.
You say forget about your K/D ratio but in the same way you might feel pride about how much healing or how many clones you saved in a match, I might feel pride in my K/D ratio. There's nothing wrong with that. |

You have a chance to save a suit, second chance to kill a guy, so stop bitching about it. You don't lose anything from it. you do lose, you lose the ability to change suit. I've made suicide runs to take people out with me, instead of just suiciding in an ambush, usually because I'm in AV gear or want to change to AV gear.... getting an unwanted revive is annoying. But what the OP is talking about, are the WP farming pseudo-logi's. Players that are not interested in your survival or ability to rejoin the fight, rather they only see a WP node with your name on it. They will continue to revive you as long as they can, sometimes even to the exclusion of maintaining their own clone. Its a silly and short sighted method.
That's exactly what I'm getting at. The last thing I intended was to complain about genuine revivers and healers you guys are awesome and have saved my ass many times! |
