Yea I think this could be as simple as a HUD fix showing both wounded dude and the medic readouts. That way they guy missing a leg knows medic is on route or at least near and the medic can go find said missing leg.

Also Kor making the Logistic suit the only one with this Hud readout would be kinda cool cos atm its a bit of a lame suit for the SP and isk cost.

I completely agree. Right now I have an idea for a suit that will potential cost me about 80k per death. Knowing that I had unique abilities to revive and help out my fellow mercs would make it more appealing. Cuss right now I could have the general same set up with an Assault suit and be more offensive.

I'm sure most people just respawn because they arn't aware you can be revived

Yea as long as you scream for it over coms and give very good directions to the medic so he can find you but you normaly bleed out b4 we get there. Even in my scout class I have only ever made it to one guy that asked for it on coms.

Defo needs some work. There has to be a really simple way (Coding wise) that wouldnt be too much haslte for the devs to sort this.
We just need a simple elegant solution.

It needs to be unlinked from you trying to respawn.
While you're in the menu, while you're choosing a dropsuit, and while you're in the 10 second spawn timer - you should still be revivable in game.

So we have so far:

Extended bleedout time.
Simple and easy to code i guess.

HUD for the medic/logistics suit and the wounded showing each others locations.
More work for dev's but will have a massive impact making Nanite injectors viable

Nanite grenade
Just throwing this one in. It could AOE revive but with no shields and maybe a few pixels of armor.

Letting everyone thats not a noob and actualy turns coms on know that you have a nanite injector equiped.
Means that maybe one or two guys know you have them but they die anyway cos timers are so short meaning they watse 2 x as long out of the fight waiting for a fail medic thats lost on the otherside of a mountain and cant read a map let alone know which way is north.

[quote=Sha Kharn Clone]So we have so far:
That way a Logistic suit would get the notice via their suit that "Sha Kharn" is dying and their "Life Support Request Signal" was located on the map with an icon. It would also allow other players to know that they could indeed be revived and all they have to do is request and wait. Also if you allow a timer on the downed suit they could advise via comms that they have X amount of time to get there. We could call it "Life Support Timer" which would indicate how much time they have until being revived is no longer an option and they just Auto Release.

Could even have a sort of Mass Effect multiplayer add where the downed player can press a certain button to keep himself alive for an extra period of time. The Default timer could be so long and the longer he continues to keep himself alive the faster the timer goes down.

Also it would be a good tactic for the chance to down a soldier and wait for a logistic dropsuit to come by to revive, then put two in the guy and start working on the medic.

This was a HUGE problem in mag the first... 6-8 months of the game (actually all 2.5 years but whatevs)
It comes down to knowledge.

Players need to know that:
1: its possible to be picked up by teamates so they don't jsut bleedout.
2: someone close by can actually heal them, so they don't give up/lose hope that its going to happen.
3: how long it will be until they are automatically bled out so they know its still worth hanging on.

When they are knocked down, there needs to be an indicator that follows close by medics. Since you can't look around much while down, a moving icon on the screen that follows close by medics is VITAL. Even if you have never heard of a nanite injector... you know a big red cross means MEDIC.

You also need to make sure whatever training is there, it is brought up clearly to not bleedout... as well.... loadign screens should have important "tips" I know they are annoying to read every time... especially once you've put 100 hours nito the game... but new players are always going to be joining, especially in a f2p game.

a good solution would be to make the spawn timer of 10 seconds start from the moment the player goes down..
