I am trying to get to you just hold on you will back on your feet in a sec Almost there here we go and....... dam it why did u not wait i was right there.

Does this happen you other meds.

Yeah i stopped the suicide runs now, even though i still end up wasting a lot of time running over to bleedouts only for them to disappear, the amount of matches i've run where it seems like theres only 1 or 2 in the whole team with an injector is insane

Their should be an on screen prompt letting the player being revived that he/she is being revived. it's already bad enough you can't pan the camera around when dead.

I try to revive people as much as possible , but this game really goes out of its way to make me not want to revive you as well as make you not want to be revived. Reviving has to be made simple that by not doing it your basically a selfish person. I have wrote about this issue before with more specific details ,so im not going to do it again and leave you with a quote instead.

What's so complicated about stabbing the dead guy with a syringe?

It's literally just walk up to person, push button, receive bacon.

Then why does this thread exist in the first place if its so simple and everyone does it?????


to small radius+ 10 sec respawn time+ small reward+ levels of injectors and different cost+ bad player touching mechanics+ bad icons and player tracking + added sp cost= people dont revive

blue dust in Mag worked , it wasnt complicated , it wasnt realistic , it wasnt hard to obtain = 90 percent of the players revived

Even if there were no points attached, I'd kill people.
Getting rezzed currently just gives me 2 deaths instead of 1.

Well put Victor.

I'd also like to add that, while your down. If you see the "Standby Triage Unit Nearby" come up and then see a blue dot run over to you shoot at the guy you were shooting. DON'T BLEED OUT. It doesn't mean that he's not going to revive you. It just means that he can't till the enemy is rabbiting, distracted, or dead. Then (if he is indeed a Logibro.) he'll turn around and come back for you.

Keep the faith.

Don't bleed out? So good sir, tell me this trick to resetting the bleed out timer so I can continue to wait for the Logibro/sis instead of watching the screen turn gray and go to respawn.

I never hit the suicide button when I see a group of blues around me. I do hit it when I'm still surrounded by oranges.

There have been many times when I've seen a Logiplayer come running up just as the bleed out timer expires. Sorry, I have no control over that. If it pissed you off, then yell at CCP, not me.

I have gotten into the habit of always bleeding out ASAP so I can get back into the action. I don't put much faith in the bluedots, and when I see the prompt "Medic nearby" it typically means I will be lying there until the game forces me to die. Even if they do revive, I usually end up dying right away again because I have no health and the medic isn't speced enough to provide decent armor. So now I have two deaths where I normally would only have one.

Even with a friendly corp member in my squad who has reviving ability, I always seem to forget and bleedout. If we still get a death, or the enemy team still gets a kill, there isn't much reason to bother with a revive. Only reason I can see ATM is to save a suit.

Here is my thoughts on the whole reviving thing. There needs to be more incentive to get revived and more incentive for medics to revive players, that seems to be the biggest problem right now. I would like to see this game take on a bit of what Killzone 2 did in terms of reviving. In KZ2 you could manually bleedout, or you could lie there for really long time, and during this time a enemy player could shoot or melee you to force you to bleedout. And from what I remember, if you did get revived, it didn't count as a death and the person who shot you didn't get the kill.

So a list:

- If a player gets revived, they should not incur a death.

- If a player gets revived, the one who initially took them down should not get the kill.

- If a player gets revived, the clone count should not go down.

- If a player gets shot down to the bleedout stage, enemy players should be able to finish them off to prevent them from being revived.

- If a player gets shot to the bleedout stage, and somebody other than the original shooter finishes them off, that enemy player should get assist points (adds incentive to finish off enemy players in bleedout stage).

- A player that gets headshot to death should not have the opportunity to get revived.



There might be a few more, but the above would add a whole new dynamic to Dust's medic situation, and would make the gameplay and battles much more interesting. It worked exceedingly well for KZ2, and forced the players to play smarter because if a enemy gets shot to bleedout, but doesn't get finished while laying on the ground, one team could lose on on a significant number of kills if there is a good medic on the team. In KZ2, the medic was one of the most important roles and was one of the main factors in turning the tides in terms of who wins and who doesn't.
