Reviving in this game is pointless.
Death still counts and there is a 95% probability that you will be shot down again because you are not revived at full health and there is the revive animation that will get you smoked.

I do. Its actually the central doctrine of our Corporation's Heavy Infantry. Commando's carry 100% State Wyrkomi's or Wyrkomi's for 80% and when one Commando drops the others win the fight and rez the downed soldier for an instant "get back in the fight soldier!" momment.
Couple that with an HAV giving support....... no one sticks around long enough to return fire.

I like it... Sometimes.
Only if I'm not picked up under fire.
Reviving is a dying art, though.

I care about my wallet far more than I care about my KDR. So if someone revives me, atleast i can limp to a supply depot and change suits.
Even If I get killed a few times in the process, its still worth it if it saves me the cost of a fitting. |

I do like getting rezzed when running my proto stuff + faction gear in FW but otherwise, in pubs, where I use bpos and advanced gear, I'm not as concerned about getting picked up but I do pay attention to if there's a needle nearby and my body is not in immediate danger of getting shot back down. |

"deaths still count" What is this, CoD? KDR is pointless, and your deaths still count because somebody had to pick your dumb ass up. While it counts against YOU, it doesn't subtract from the clone count, and you don't lose your fitting until you permanently die.
If someone revives me, that's great. However, it never happens because apparently people fit nanite injectors for the lols and never actually use them.

As for revives, I enjoy them. K/D doesn't matter, and there's a good chance that Iit'll help keep the clone count high. As for not being fully revived, Logistics would have an incentive to run higher tiered injectors if they wren't punished for doing so.
Outside of PUBs however, all my teammates are guaranteed 100% armor upon revive.

I do. Even if I get killed right away. Sure not 5 times in a row, but I appreciate the effort.
I just wish CCP would buff blueberry AI so they know to actually kill the people around a body before reviving it. Also making it so you have to ask to be revived before they can do it would help a lot.

tbh i play solo and mostly die alone away from blueberries which is lucky.
i am not a K/D ***** as some but realistically 80% of the time i get revived its unwanted.
to break it down
50% of the time i am revived by dem rusty needles to be slaghtered again before i can do anything. great your so shite at the game its your only way of getting WP's.
20% of the time i am looking to relocate or change suit after my death either because i am far away from where i would like to be or i am in the wrong suit - no i do not want to run around all battle with 213EHP a CR with no uplinks or be so far away from the action its going to take me a while to get there.
10% of the time i am trying to die because i have no ammo ....then some **** brings me back. hello i was trying to mellee the heavy to get myself killed.
20% of the time - its seems i am not being picked up by a scrub who wants to get his +60 WP's in his free medic suit and is perfectly happy for both of us to die in order for him to get it. but by someone who actually has an idea of when to pick you up and actually makes sure you have life when they do it and if they are really loving they will even give you a nano hive to get more ammo with - bliss
imo only if you ask for help should you be able to be revieved. there is a time and lace for everything. |

But, mostly, I do not trust most logis. There suit simply can't win confrontations to make accepting there revive safe.

This is precisely what I see most of the time happening.
It's amazing how many people enjoy dying in this game. So many times have I killed a guy around a spawn area only to have another red dot spawn in a "hot area" and run straight to pick the wounded up. Only for the wounded to get shot again and for the medic to lose his life as well.
No sense in comparing the revive mechanic in other games because fools with just say, "go and play those games then". But reviving people in Dust is just worthless

Breakdown of revives:
20% - redberry standing over corpse waiting for blueberry to do the revive, redberry kills both revivee and reviver 20% - as above but redberry lets blueberry revive corpse multiple times for +50, +50, + 50 20% - no redberry waiting for the revive, but revivee spotted and instakilled by someone else due to the lengthy revive animation 20% - no instakill, but you now have almost no HP and probably no bullets in the clip so you die a few seconds later 20% - not killed but you now have low HP and ammo so have to waste a minute or two finding a supply depot or quiet corner to sit on a hive, instead of contributing to the team effort as you would be had you been allowed to respawn
My suits cost 100,000-200,000isk so in theory I should be a prime beneficiary of nanite injectors. In practice I want that thing in my arm as much as I do a discarded needle in a public park. |

Picking people up is a bit of an art form.
Here is the best way to do it.
1. Clear the red-berries of the area.
2. Switch to the repair tool.
3. Stab then instantly rep (with proto reps).
How do you kill that which has no life?

Pubs: no. Rarely helpful as the blueberries use crap needles and I often need to switch suits as a logi myself. No benefit to getting revived in a suit that I've already dropped the equipment from!
Elsewhere: Yes.
I also rarely use anything but a wyrkomi, if I do it's a KIN-11 needle, backed up by a rep tool, and only in pubs.

I wouldn't ever deliberately revive anyone in the line of enemy fire without first killing the red dot (as if I dont then you dont get a revive do you :P) however sometimes there is no way to know a Sniper / RR / Forge / Tank has us locked in its sights and is waiting to open up.
That being said, this is a game, I will try to pick up any fallen brethren that I see. + its good war points.
By the way I think it is clear that the mechanics of how reviving works is more the pain in the arse here, at least more so than a medic trying to do his duty.
I hate to say it, but BF4 got it somewhat sorted with their system. |

also ide like to note that repper logis with injectors work best with other armor types.
just the other day i dropped a 3sec uplink on the roof and jumped off to revive 2 heavies..they were so happy that they did this little dance on the end of my lai dai reper and took the objective objective i was bombarding with my assistance.
there is a situation where it worked and there are many others..my needle is my most valuable tool on my amar logi.
i can spawn the whole team ona point rep 2 people at once and reviv anyone who goes down..that is priceless.
gotta love it when u bring up an amar assault scr with full armor and then turn em into a god with 70 hps.
hell ive gotten like nine guardians off a recently revived soldier that i brought back and reppered while under fire
sure you may die again but with a good logi you may not and at the very least you can take 4 or 5 of those mother ******* with you and give our team a few seconds time..
ive had my heavies get downed an out and the only thing that kept the objective was reviving a gal scout with a rr..who killed the peeps bombarding for 3 second straight..and bam the heavies and .team was back at out backs...i think he actually ran off to go re some people after that..his kill feed went on fora bit.
at least for the amar logi..an injector can make all the difference in the world.
my amar logi carries 1 link 1 repper 1 injector like a good battle medic |

As someone who has many characters and suits to choose from, I have been able to play a multitude of characters with the purpose of playing with a logistics. All but one have a nanite injector on them, save for this character as a sentinel. The rest of my team may share the general viewpoint that ad-hoc revives are likely bullshit every time, but with the amount of times i have been able to assist my support battlebuddy, i would never, ever want to play this game without it. I can barely even play a sentinel with her, though... Nobody wants to see their partner go down with no way to help. **** yes nanite injector.

When I run Logi and revive Clones, I often feel like I'm the only one doing it. When I go down, will there be someone there to revive me? Chances are "no."
However, I will revive a friendly if I'm able to clear the hostile threat, or think I can revive and them rep him/her until we can get to cover. Reviving saves the team a clone and many times matches come down to clone count (obviously so in Ambush). So no one likes being revived and then 1-shot killed again, rinse and repeat, but if someone can safely revive me then please do so. I will do the same!

It's terrible. I wanted the option to deny a revive. It's entirely frustrating and idiotic that a medic will dodge gunfire just to pick you up with a cheap needle only for you to die instantly which also fuels enemy momentum. I really can't stand that.
I have watched a medic revive a victim of mines four times in a row without even looking or firing in my direction. He was going to do it a fifth time and I just killed him.
I want that accept or deny revive option

I run logi when I squad up and people are always asking for me to revive them. Granted, I carry a repair tool so I repair you as soon as I revive you so you are good to go back to good old fashion killing. Hell, I even carry a rep tool with a scout.
I do however, agree that some people are idiots with the injectors and it should be taken away from there. People be responsible with your injectors and use them responsibly. |

This x1000. Just let me accept the revive, so I can assess whether it's a tactical viability. I know it's just pubs and kdr isn't the problem it's just annoying as all hell. As a logi I run no less than kin if I do run a needle and I rez and rep accordingly.

Death still counts and there is a 95% probability that you will be shot down again because you are not revived at full health and there is the revive animation that will get you smoked.

Depends how clean the needle is.
In all seriousness, I don't like to get revived because that's usually all someone will do. If I revive a person you will immediately have reps on you, I don't just walk away and leave you with 50% of your armor (I sacrifice on the needle for better equipment elsewhere). I will, however, revive you in the line of fire if I believe I can get you out of there alive. I take the risk that you will go down again (that's why I usually only revive Green Dots, because they know that they need to shoot), but that you can take them down with you. Usually, they get up and stay up, on occasion they go down again.

That being said, this is a game, I will try to pick up any fallen brethren that I see. + its good war points.
By the way I think it is clear that the mechanics of how reviving works is more the pain in the arse here, at least more so than a medic trying to do his duty.
I hate to say it, but BF4 got it somewhat sorted with their system.
And see that's the thing.....if you spawn or run into an area and see a downed teammate, what do you do? He could be a blue and not have comms and thus, not able to tell you if its safe. Sometimes, you are killing people in an area and the red logi doesn't notice you. You end up killing the guy all over and the logi.
Sometimes, you are looking for a safe place to respawn or change suits and then you get rezzed and instakilled again. In BF4, the medic risks his life because he has to be right on you (just like in dust). But you are given the option to decline the rez. There is no penalty for being rezzed in BF, so it doesn't matter. In MAG, you were rezzed with full health and no animation...plus the medic can rez you at a safe distance so it was cool. Plus, in MAG, it made sense to want to get rezzed since there was no objective spawn, or beacon or teammate spawning like in dust or bf

You can always tell who is about to get rezzed....so if there is a firefight, I always concentrate on the guy getting rezzed. And it is rare that he stays up. A Gallente Heavy that's being repped may be the ideal for being able to stay alive. But if there are others around me, chances are that I'm not the only one concentrating on a rezzed red dot.

I have my moments when I think I clear the area and it turns out a sniper was around and that guy wasn't on coms. I've rezzed people in the clear who just went afk. I've had people yell at me over coms to come get their precious proto suit even though there are 5 redberries around them. I've had to sadly leave some teammates in the dust because it was more worhwhile to the team as a whole to keep repping those I had to keep pressure on the objective.
I've gone down plenty of times and never had a blueberry there to back me up. I've had blueberries pick me up when I really was done with the suit and wanted to come back in with a new one as there were no supply depots. I've had blueberries pick me up in front of redberries because an icon appeared on the screen and sometimes they're dicks, other times they're just desperate to do anything in this game worthwhile and get some precious wp just to make it to the next damn skill so they can be useful eventually.
I've also felt guilty looking for the downed merc to find him on a rooftop somewhere I couldn't get to in time. It's not that I don't want to save you and not that I'm actively ignoring you. Yelling into coms that I'm all of 3m away from you is not helpful if you're 50ft above my head.
All this shaming isn't useful to new players and won't stop them from doing it to you. This is a role that simply takes education so instead of telling players to stop reviving period, just direct them in the ways they can be better. Reviving has plenty of uses in this game and I've seen it win games before in both clones and teams who thought those 3 greenberries of mine they killed couldn't possibly come back to bit them in the ass.

If CCP put the 'bleedout' option for when we go down, I'D LOVE IT!!! I hate getting rezzed when it's in the middle of a hot zone... Hell I can remember a former corpie that rezzed me 4 times after going straight down just to make fun of me because there was no 'bleedout' option...
All in all, getting rezzed in my opinion sucks. 90% of the time I'll get rezzed in the middle of a fire fight when I want to switch out suits or respawn. |

I just go on these forums every once in awhile why I try to kill time. There is no way I am coming back to Dust anytime soon. I have always enjoyed the game but I do not trust CCP, they have made too many awful choices lately and the crap they pulled at fanfest will not be easily forgotten. I will not play a game that the developers lured people into travling and spending large amounts of money only to tell them that basically most of the support for Dust is gone and now it will be on Legion which has not even received the greenlight yet. My time is better spent raiding on FF14 with Doc and Zero, until Destiny comes out. |

i use 50% revives or higher and always repp upon revive and i will revive a heavy in fire or a heavily tanked armor type if they die near my proto especially if i note they're skill. 100% revives meet lai dai repper...and if a squad mate says ima just respawn they will find a 3 sec uplink right next to me and the rest of the squad
i know for a fact that if i revive one of my mates in there good suit they will survive i dont play with chumps that cant use full armor and 70hps to get behind cover..also because they are not chumps they rarely die out in the open

But the fact that people are being revived in the most stupidest situations is more than enough reason to have this thing changed.

What about if we only have about 150hp and less armor though? If it isn't full health with no revive animation, it's worthless.

Nope. That isn't worth it. LOL @ medic dancing through gunfire...I mean...he's dancing! Dancing and determined to stick you with a needle only so you can die within a nanosecond. I hate that crap. It's so stupid and that has nothing to do with my KDR. Stupid is stupid.

We are infantry and cloned soldiers. Our job is to die for our employers. If someone can not only ensure we lose less clones for the win, save me ISK, and rez me to help with the fighting then its a job well done.
My KDR matters not before the calling of the Faith.

Even still, it isn't worth it, if a medic wastes time to prorez you and get himself killed in the process. That is time wasted, cause you could have respawned somewhere else or the logi could have been repping other people and keeping them alive.

Instantly accept clone loss by attrition or delay clone loss by attrition....... why would you just roll over and accept it?

Idiots like you describe happen to me once every other game session of sometimes several hours.
And even then. Don't blame the needle, blame the incompetent wielder.
That and advocate for proper WP scaling across the needles so that players actually have a reason to use better ones. This will also help you in the long run.

Oh god man, not you True with the KDR reply. You know, its really not about that. And when I say that, I do mean that. It has nothing to do with KDR.
It's why I don't get mad at someone ramming me in a DS. You know why? Cause it was smart. They took the available means they had to take me out and used it against me. I applaud that.
But I'm not a fan of stupidity. Never been.
So when I see someone breaking their neck with the sole thought of reviving a merc and they done nothing to clear out hostiles, the enemy is still firing upon their location, and they don't have reps to get that man to full armor health-I instantly think its stupid.
I applaud intelligent choices on the battlefield. I despise stupid ones. Reviving people in the middle of gunfire is just plain stupid. Nothing to do with KDR. Nope. Just the fact its plain stupid. I don't want to be revived in gunfire. Why? Cause I can't do anything about it! I just got shot again and I die. So it would have been better to leave me be and let me die. Then let me spawn in. And if I die, its by my own hands again.
There's really nothing that anybody can say that would make me look at this falsely. It's stupid to revive people in gunfire and I want it changed. If I had power to deny a person such, I would use it.

Meh I trust Aero to have my back in most fights, he knows being picked up to die instantly pisses me off, it doesn't stop him through, in the end if I don't lose my 200K Isk suit and he rezes me back into a fighting role instead of having to redeploy I'm happy.

Death still counts and there is a 95% probability that you will be shot down again because you are not revived at full health and there is the revive animation that will get you smoked. I played for the second time in about a month last night. Spent the whole night saying "Don't respawn, I got you." Not a single person complained and we won almost every game by clones. Sounds like you need a better logi. Sounds like you've been playing against guys that can't shoot. Maybe you should spend some time training your corp mates, cus a couple of those matches were against RND Lulz...what are you saying? Why do players like yourself talk trash lol? I wasnt trying to talk trash. Any half way decent logi, who doesnt revive in the middle of fire, should be able to get you up, repped, and resupplied faster than you respawning. If your logi's arent doing that, you need better logis. You came at me with the "you can only do it because your opponent sux" theory. I do this **** in PC all the time.
Do I have teammates who tell me not to bring a needle? Of course I do. They are just like you, precious KDR whoers, with boatloads of isk, who would rather take a suit loss than take one for the team again. But the fact is, its 9/10 better for the team for you to be right there ready to charge when the time is right rather than you showing up 20 seconds later to pop the guy counterhacking the point after the firefight is over. Get over yourself.
Do I think there should be a no revive button? Yes. I hate trying to change a suit and get revived just to die 3 seconds later as much as everyone else. But to say no one should be reviving mercs in competitive play is a bit ridiculous.
I only play dust514ums now. It was always more fun than the actual game anyways.

Honestly, there are times that I do that just to refresh the timer on you - if you were at 5 seconds and you get killed again you're back at 30 seconds and it gives me a chance to kill people around your body and then pick you up again.

You guys make me laugh. How many of you run a proto needle and rep someone after picking them up? When I get picked up it's by someone with a mlt needle farming WP and they don't even rep you either. Very few people actually support you after picking you up..but yeah if you have a proto needle or proto reps then by all means pick me up but don't do it just to farm WP, do your role correctly. |

I run ADV needle and rep when I pick people up, but I work within a squad, and generally only pick them up under fire (unless the person is spamming the help button); otherwise I try to suppress the enemy enough to pick allies up or leave them alone if that endeavor is pointless...the exception is in Skirmish when defending a point, when a few more precious seconds on either offence or defense is all you need (Sorry about your K/D bro...still wish it didn't count deaths until termination) |

There are uses for each if you know how to use them properly. Btw I get way more points from links than revives, but I also dont farm people with a needle.. Yes to all of this. I run Min logi, with a KIN-012 and a Core Rep tool. After the engagement is over, you pick people up, and rep them as quick as you can. They already have their bearings, which is more advantageous than an uplink, which is likely hidden or out of the way somewhere, and might be camped. Throw down a hive, and everybody is back on their feet and good to go.
I try to never revive if the engagement is still going on, that's always a mistake, and I see it happening constantly -- some scout running out in the middle of bullets flying to rez somebody, which is just plain wrong. It gets you killed, cause you are immobile when rezzing, and your squadmate killed again, cause he's got no health to survive. I constantly put down enemy logis this way, in fact I look for it -- 2 easy kills.
The biggest part of being a good logi is knowing when to rep, and when you should be firing. My general rule is, rep until your guys are about 1/4 health, then start shooting. More often than not, you can finish what your squadmates started -- then you go back to doing your three R's.
90% of my logi injector fits have a rep tool also, which is the only way to play it if you want to actually help your squad, in my book.

If everyone is concerned about being revived at 30% armor, maybe people should try stacking Repairers instead of Plates. It's actually pretty fun.
As a logi, I've become a pretty good judge of when to shoot or revive. Sometimes I revive while the enemy is still around, and I lock the repair tool as soon as my ally gets back into a fight with said enemy. As long as my ally jumps around to dodge bullets and get more reps than damage for a second, he usually wins. If not, I finish the fight and pick him up again.
Though I would like to know who's near me while I'm downed. I'd like to be able to tell the difference between the starter fits that will revive me in front of enemies and the smart dudes with Repair Tools.
I laugh at those with Sergeant in their name.

What you just said, actually doesn't make much sense. I'll give you a homework assigment....ask any successful pc corp vet, if they had to choose for their logi to carry a nanite injector or an uplink...which would they mandate?
I believe they would probably require them to have nanohives over injectors. Remember they must be a leader of a successful pc corp, past or present. Because I'im sure there are clueless leaders who would instruct their logis to use a nanite injector if it came down to a decision of the two.
And don't say that you acknowledge that uplinks are important because I'm not doubting that you feel they are important. But you said that you feel that "a revive can make way more difference than a link". That implies that you feel that nanite injectors are more important and for me, they are the least useful piece of equipment in this game (that I can think of)
