During a firefight i do not like being revived three times in a row, no one does. All i'm saying is that maybe you could include a option to terminate your clone while on the death screen? like press triangle or something and then no one can revive you.
you think this would be a nice feature? I do, this would be an awesome thing to put into the next update.

I opted for a selected approval ( where you are asked if you would like to be revived , before it's actually done ) sometime ago because sometimes people revive you just for the flimsy points they receive , in the middle of being slaughtered , so you MIGHT just be able to breathe for about two seconds before you get killed right again , then the same person does it again so you can die again . I know because it happened to me before and I was furious . What's even worst is when , one time ( and no I wasn't in band camp ) I could swear that an opponent revived me only to kill me again , and I couldn't understand what just happened .

Instead of a kill they get a kill assist, well played indeed

this little respawn system used to exist.
my only thought on why it might have been removed is because most players would respawn the second they went down even if their was a logi with a nanite injector.
and this happened all the time.
not in the middle of fire fights.
but in those areas where its safe to revive. |

They should implement a timer so that if you die within a certain amount of time since your last revive, you can't be revived again. It can't be good for your heart to repeatedly go through the shock of dying and I imagine it would just give up, nanites or not.
It would also mean logis would need to be more tactical about their reviving. Reviving someone gives the chance of getting another gun back into the fight immediately, but not waiting for a pause also carries the risk of that merc dying instantly and not being able to help until they return to the battle field from an uplink, cru, etc. and run back. |

I think the clone termination issue actually goes to a deeper problem. I would like to see it where you don't take a death until the clone is actually terminated. This would lead people to hold out hope for that revive and greatly improve the logi function. Part of this would include giving a player additional points (5 to 10) for terminating a clone.

Really like this idea as it would dramatically increase the desire for revives and repping and also increase the drive for squad mates to "push" enemies back so their team mate could be revived. Would also stop complaints about being revived and then killed again since it would not impact the player (still only 1 death). |

After hearing some more thoughts on this it seems like a good option would be to have the option of accepting the revive paired with reducing your death count by 1 once you are revived or having a death not count against you until you bleed out.
Something to note about this is that the way I see this working is that it would not effect the folks doing the shooting. Once they down someone they get the kill counted.

How about a needle simply gives you the ability to get back up, and you have say, 10 secs to get up or bleed out.

Giving wp for terminating clones would make needles useless, since it only takes about a second to finish off a downed clone. And people would go crazy killing downed clones for that extra wp, so there would be almost no one to revive. |

Perhaps reduce kills to 40 points, then give an additional 10 points for terminating a clone? And make clone termination harder: you need to headshot the downed clone to terminate it.
Headshots can be reduced to 50 points, and the extra points can be justified as clone termination points. In competitive play I can see at the individual level tough decisions for slayers deciding whether or not they should possibly waste time terminating a clone or move on, whereas the logibros may worry about reviving someone if they haven't been terminated for a while for fear of a trap.

You make a good point. Without the WP bonus downing a clone would be more of a tactical then a WP decision. The inherent benefit of downing a clone is you don't have worry about them getting up to kill you if they get revived.

This would be a great idea especially in ambush. In ambush right now the instant the clone count hits zero you loose so even if you have say 5 players up and running and you manage to totally terminate the rest of the enemy (lets say they only had 2 clones left and 2 people alive) even if you manage to totally kill all of them and exhaust their clones doing a great come from behind win. Once the screen comes up you still loose because your clone count hit zero first even though someone went around and revived.
Very very clunky mechanic there. Almost as annoying as how the match can go on for minutes after the clone count reaches zero. Wish you guys at ccp could make up your mind as to when the game ends. Is it when clone count hits zero or after the clones bleed out and die? |

Yeah, I too sometimes was revived in front of enemies who of course killed me again.
I like OP's idea of using Triangle, or another button, to prevent your clone from being revived.
But I also understand those LOGIs who would become "less useful" since many players would instantly decide not to be revived. |

either that, or you're able to decide when the injection will come into "effect". lets say a logi stabs you and then you have 30 seconds to either get up and fight or lay there prone to let the battle calm down before you decide to stand up.
the logi would receive the WP's once the clone decides to stand up and join the fight.
also the longer a clone lasts the more wp you get.
.1 second 5wp
.2 seconds 10wp
.10 seconds 50wp
I die alot AND have fun... Who knew?

I personally wouldn't mind dying multiple times if it didn't cost me a life. When someone revives me pointlessly it hurts my team's clone count and also is mildly annoying because it affects stats. I don't worry a ton about K/D, but it is annoying to get extra deaths on my record when I didn't actually die; especially since corps might look at it for recruitment.
If reviving restore a clone point like in other games and didn't count as a kill until the clone is terminated, most people wouldn't mind. I think the new system should be kills (but indicating how many clones you incapacitated, not terminated,) deaths (how many time your clones were terminated,) and assists (same as before, helping a team mate to incapacitate an enemy.) |

I came from MAG, which has this revive or finish off mechanic. There were always plenty of people to revive. Lots of enemies forgot to finish a downed player off, and many times there was no time for them to do it because they had to reload, duck back into cover or got killed first.
