I bleed out without even thinking about it now because no one has ever tried saving me.

Some things about revives you may not know :

- Headshots, melee, explosives, vehicle weapons, forge guns all render someone unrevivable
- Shooting someone 'downed' in the head a couple times will force bleedout.
- You only get points for reviving the same person once, in the same life. If they die and actually respawn, you can get points for them again.
- Downed people show up on the HUD as a solid triangle, similar to the dropship icon.
- Revived players get revived with very low armor and no shields.
.

Now, to the above posts. Someone mentioned an AOE 'revive grenade'. This is a terrible idea. Revives are bad enough as it is. Making it unncessary for people to put themselves in danger to revive makes it broken and defeats the point of the nanite injector having a 3-4 second animation.

People need to realize that there is no classes in dust. There is no specific 'medics'. Anyone can use pretty much anything in Dust, even if it boggles the mind as to why. Nanite Injectors are not even the primary 'healing' option. They are an 'oops' button that cheapens death. You want to play a medic? Pick up a repair tool. If you do your job well, you can turn anyone into a juggernaut.

Yes, the battlefield medic needs an easier time reviving wounded. Otherwise why even have nanite injectors that you won't be able to use.

Medics... stay at pack :)
Lonely wolfes always die alone... (atacking or ambushed). Medics dont run in places like this. To easy targest and packs need more care.

So:
- 'indicator' that you want can be local only (maybe grow up with skill).
- beter idea is that 'budy' can take your body away from 'heavy fire' to another calm place where medic can do magic...
- 'crazy' idea nr 3:) - make ambulance module at dropships or buggies... they are fast, can carry corpses (sorry dropsuits) and can sustain heavy fire.

A lot of work :)

See Nova plenty others think it needs some work.

Is this why you use a dropship all the time dont like seeing peeps come back to life ?

I've had plenty of success as a medic not being a ***** and hiding behind the front line. Some of my most rewarding work has been setting up mini bases and moving the front line up to an objective that we take because I have drop uplinks, nanohives and me reviving people right on an objective.

ya the biggest issue with this is not that they injectors suck it is that every player just re spawns because they cannot see a logi on the map and have no idea there are any around.

As a logistics player I must point out that, as others have mentioned, the human aspect that causes the nanite injectors to not be useful.

Players, particularly those who spent years playing first person shooters, have been conditioned for a long time to get use to giving up so quickly when they bleed out. Of course, some do train themselves to rely on medics to back them up, but I have my doubts about how often to run into them.

I have played games like Call of Duty and Battlefield for years and almost every time I am bleeding out I never see anyone try to rescue me. Very rarely do I see them come and help. Even if they are available, there are just too few of them and too many of us bleeding soldiers to tend to. So I just learned to give up on the bleed out and just hit "respawn".

However, when DUST 514 came out in Beta, I decided that now is the time to set the example and encourage players to stay alive as long as possible for the medics and try to stick together with the logistics merc. This is because DUST 514 will be primarily team driven if you wish to fight in epic battles that will tip the balance of power in Eve Online.

In Eve Online, the logistics ships are given strict orders from the fleet commander to only repair key ships in the heat of a battle as they use a tactic known as "spider tanking" to help each other out in case they are attacked by a squad of ships that plan on destroying the logis.

As a result of such a team-driven climate, those players that have gotten use to just hitting "respawn" rather than wait for a medic to revive them or logistics guy to help repair their damaged tank will soon learn to appreciate the importance of having such a player in their team and how important it will be to communicate and at least wait for them to come to the rescue (assuming they haven't been critically injured - at that point, you can't be saved).

Until players learn to appreciate the need to work together, quit the lone-wolf BS, and stop giving up to easily on the bleed out, the logistics will always be regarded as an under-appreciated profession.

Prob is all my lot are on mumble together but we are always split across the teams so every time I get directions to a wounded corpie some other wanker in my corp is waiting for me. Guess we gona have to swich to ingame fail coms once the battle starts but this takes away from being able to troll your buddys when you facerape them.
In game coms is soo bad tho and after a few hours you feel like your the one needing a medic.

Hey Sha Karn. I heard you on comms once. I don't have a mic but I heard you complaining about me kill stealing.. haha. Hope to see you in-game more, as you're a good person to follow around and get easy kills.. Cheers.

All you need is a simple icon above the body of the injured and show it on the map should be easy to implement problem of where they are solved.

Well Nova Knife said wounded are shown as a triangle or some thing which is fail cos no doubt when the medic gets there he finds a dropship with a pilot going "nah im fine bro now take that needle away from me k)

Yep wut cantus said.

BTW spider tanking the tanks works well we found. Well untill some noob gets stuck on a wall and you all get stuck.
