Nanite injectors should be -1 death. He knows it... Everyone knows it.... But it is probably way to hard for them to code and they don't want to admit it.
If your Clone didn't die.... Then How did you die? It Makes no sense in the realm of DUST 514 and the story and game concept that we have been given.
Instead CCP Rattati believes that if you get beat then you should have a death marker on your character... No matter if you never died and your clone was never terminated.
Worse? He then catered this amazing mechanic around the very very few DUST players who never want to be picked up because they have spent years with this unfinished un polished mechanic that we warned CCP about since the beginnings of this game.
Clones do not belong to the individual Mercenary.... They Belong to the team as a whole... You should have no choice about being picked up... If a Logi gets to you with a Needle? You get picked up whether you want to or not...
The Team needs that clone and life to stay competitive... To Bring in those close matches.
But when you get picked up you get -1 death and a chance to defend your ISK investment? No one can make an argument against why nearly every player would embrace the needle mechanic and actually look forward to it.
We Have taken one of the most amazing items in the game "Nanite Injectors" And one of the core concept this game was built on... "When your clone is terminated your conscience gets transferred to a new clone* And never put 1 amd 1 together to complete the vision.
Instead CCP Rattati is stuck in chest puffing land thinking if i beat you, even if i didn't double tap your incapacitated clone... You should die. And have a mark against you.
No Matter how little sense it makes in the application he is referring to.
Alot of people white knight Rattati.... But seriously... He spent a year buffing and nerfing everything... And has spent more time gutting DUST's mechanics that where good.... Inertia Dampener, Nanite Injector... Bandwidth....
He has spent more time taking away from this game then he has ever added to it.
As a proto logi player, I disagree with part of what you said. First, what I agree on.
Yes, a revivied clone should not count against your KDR. If this were changed, I think more people would call for help.
No, it was not a complaint from a small few people - it was from a lot of people in the community., The call for help is important because there were people with no regard for anything reviving people. This is a problem for 2 reasons. First, every time they "die" (see above) it hurts their numbers, and logis never cleared the area first (often running a full BPO suit so who cares) and second because the downed players wanted to get a different suit for various reasons.
Fix the first, and more people will ask for help and you won't be complaining as much.
Also - the clone's may be the teams, but the suits are the ISK earned by the players. They should have a right not to be revived if they are willing to sacrifice their ISK in the process. The lore is that we are immortal - and everything that comes with that fits in. We don't care about dying if it is for the betterment of the team as a whole. Perhaps re-spawning is better? Re-suit to a better fitting; try a different tactic as your current tactis is failing; re-position yourself; resupply yourself. So many reasons to terminate, and again this is coming from a proto logi.
The other thing I have to say - I see people call for help with regularity in my matches. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I"m recognized as a player who didn't start as a Logi (I'm an Assault at heart) so they know I clear the area first. I'll defend their downed body, staying close so that they know I'm still shooting at someone they can't see, and I think they appreciate that fact.
Also - he's done more to revive the game than detract from it. Bandwidth was needed, the inertia dampeners shouldn't have been changed, but you are neglecting all the positive. If you are going to call his entire run into question, you can't leave out the positive for the sake of making a point.
No +1 for you, as most of your post seems trollish.
