In one of the old builds there was a 'Suicide' option while you waiting to bleed out. All they need to do is bring it back.

It's still there, but it's more rarely used.

Whenever you select a spawn location in the respawn screen, it automatically kills your last clone.

It's simple - the needle icon should only show up over your body if you push the call for help button. If you do not actively call for help, you should not be able to be revived, even if you died at a logi's feet with their needle already hanging out.

Funny thing, I suggested this after they implemented the needle fix in 1.3 and got a huge backlash from other logis. I even posited that a player could be locked into an endless cycle of reviving/dying with no other way to break the cycle other than resetting (and that has happened). Now many people want a deny revive feature. Go figure.

if u hate the death so much then lets redesign the kd/r system... or make the nanite injector take away deaths...when picking some one up or only count the number of times u have respawned on the battle field.. and count those as deaths instead...

/me injects thread

Anyone else want?

I dunno. I think we should hold out on this at least until after shield bubbles have been introduced. I've already got my rapid-response revival fit ready: Logistics mk.0, shield bubble, revival stick, repper and triage nanohives. Heavies will be full replenished by the time bubble goes down (if it's as strong as I hope it will be), and ready to rain hell.

Not to mention if shield bubbles deflect grenades... KHW make a thread on possible mechanics for shield bubbles plz.

Some people complain about being unable to decline revives, and understandably so; you could be just about to select your respawn location, and then suddenly get injected back to life right in the middle of a fire fight only to die again. Accept/deny options are needed for when being injected.

Logis also need to know that risking their lives to revive someone won't be for nothing simply because someone selected deny, so they must be rewarded regardless. Logis need to get war points regardless of even if the dying merc chooses to deny the injection.

The option to accept/deny should not disappear until the bleedout timer hits 0. This way mercs in the bleedout state would be in control of if and when they want to revive instead of springing back up at an inconvenient time.
EDIT: The injection should add 5 seconds to the bleedout timer to give the downed player time to decide to accept or deny the revive.

To prevent abuse by WP boosters, selecting the deny option, or not selecting any option, should make you no longer injectable. The deny option specifically should automatically bleed you out. These are so a logi can't just keep injecting your dying body to get more and more WP.

Disagree here. A lot of Logi's need to be smarter about reviving, but allowing a deny option would basically remove reviving from the game altogether. I posted a different solution a while back.

Basically,

-Give Logi's the +60 WP for reviving only if the revived player survives and additional 10 seconds after revive.
-Have the higher end needles offer temporary damage resistance to make logi's more likely to use the good needles.

We'd still encourage teamwork, and hopefully reduce pointhawk logi's suicide reviving you for an easy 60 pts.

I don't see how that would stop remove revival from the game at all. I really don't understand.
If there are no immediate dangers around, why would somoene choose to deny a revival? Especially when it prevents the financial loss that comes with destroyed dropsuits/items?
