I sometimes do it to get away from heavies, as long as it ain't me!








-trolling since 7yrs old

Sadly this mechanic used to be in the game.

And an answer to other than just the header...




MAIN IDEA:
Somewhere up was good idea about accepting/not accepting revive. I further improve it:
- When you receive a revive, give some three( as suggested?) seconds to choose whether to instantly (o) Suicide (x) Get Up
Suicide because we are clone troops with suicide minibombs in our brain, so that IS an option.
- After 3s time, if no selection, Get Up.



WP GAIN OPTION A)
- if you get up, your reviver gets +WP full amount
- If you decide to suicide after all, your 'reviver' gets +half amount



WP GAIN OPTION B)
- WPs are not awarded immediately
- WPs are given after (example) 10s if the patient survives that duration alive





Additionally, when talkin about WP gain, the awarded WPs should correspond to the percentage amount of armor healed.

I can count on 1 hand the number of times someone has seen a dead body, scanned the area, deployed a nanohive, revived someone then repair or start shooting the reds.

I have 87 armor. Oh, you used the proto needle? Thanks so much for the 69HP, too ******* bad that is literally 2 bullets from any full auto or single fire weapon and 1 round from a burst weapon.
Even better, when you get revived without a nanohive nearby so you're ******* stuck out in the open without any ammo.
The reasons I died are one of three things: (1) I'm out of ammo (2) I got overwhelmed by numbers (3) not using an optimal suit&weapon for the encounter.
If I die, it's better for me to just respawn elsewhere in a fresh suit or a different suit altogether.

It has very, very little to do with KDR. The fact that you have 0 control over your own character is the issue here. You don't have the option to ask for help, you don't have the option to ignore it. Anyone at anytime can pick you up regardless of how you want to play the game.

You can tell who the terri-bad players that use needles are because they try and pretend they are actually useful when they do it. "Oh, yeah, well that might sometimes happen, but Inever do that!"
Ego and bullshit right there.

Seriously - CCP, how hard can it be to add a option where I can choose if I want to be revived or not?

This is worse than being proto stomped.

But who gives a f***.

Why the call for help button does not function as a way to signal you actually want a pick up I do not know.

Hotfix Charlie

* WP for injectors, STD/ADV/PRO 25/50/75 WP


Still under tech evaluation
* Suicide/Bleedout/Overview option properly enforces that revival is not possible

Adding an option to accept a revive AFTER someone has already made the effort to get to you, possibly missing he opportunity to revive someone else or even put themselves in harms way? NO

Adding the requirement to ask for a revive BEFORE a notification is even sent? YES.

All issues fixed.

I have been thanked for reviving people in my squad far too many times for your logic to hold up to all players. Not saying that for you this might be true, but my experience has indicated that this is not even close to universal.

But really a moot point either way if the ask for help button worked like it was supposed to.

Yes, that's great but you're in a squad where you communicate with you squadmates. The most common situation that everybody speaks of is a random blueberry. Even when requested on team chat to not be revived, they still do it anyway.

If you're not part of the problem, why get upset? it's obvious we aren't talking about you and its obvious we want the choice for the revive.

So yea, you're a minority. The majority of players revive in the most stupidest situations with no effs given. We want that to stop and we have been requesting that for over a year now.

I'm actually not upset

What I do get on a soap box about is having an accept/decline revive option. That wastes a logi's time and might put them in harms way. If the marker doens't come up and the clone can't be revived unless the person is calling for help with the X button, the problem is solved without introducing a new problem with an accept/decline revive option.

The deduction of WPs doesn't work. How come they do not understand? People will revive you continually even after the first WP gained. Not forgetting that some use this to farm the crap out of you, so the reduction of WPs doesn't even make sense unless they have no way of implementing a "accept revive" option, in which I don't see how it would.

That's what we want, an option. No a discouragement of revive by the WPs. An option, a choice that we have. We have many choices in Dust; we cannot have the option to accept or deny revive is beyond me.
