Hmm. I was under the impression that any old logibro on the battlefield could see a "downed teammate" syringe. But, yes, balanced squads are nice; not always obtainable with randoms, though, which are usually what I wind up with this time of the day. |

yes but they are blueberrys after all friend of mine told me something important and I hold that in my thoughts even today:
anything you think a blue dot can or should do, expect the complete opposite. |

With all new mercs running around they probably are not sure what either means or how to revive yet.

Every injector carrier sees those. But sometimes it's not a logi, sometimes logi is used to carry things like mines, remote explosives and nano hives. He will not pick you up, obviously. And this message you see is from some scrub who picked Assault - Medic [STARTER FIT], but doesn't have a clue what's up.
Also if you died in a crossfire and reds are watching you with no retaliation from our side -- you're on your own. Will not risk my squad to pick a suicidal random, sorry.

Go to the suggestion forum and create a suggestion that they add a mechanism to help us know when a triage is nearby |

My favorite is when the only blueberry on the map near by is standing on my body, not in a fight, says triage is in the area so it has to be him, yet no revive. Yup, this has to be the new teabag team troll move I assume. |

I'm thinking the same, I'm actually giving The New Bluedots a break for a while. As cute as they are, they're still stupid.
Hopefully some great players can rise out of this influx of new guys. |

This is why we need team deployment. Im not accepting "blueberrys" as competent members from my team. Just stupid beyond believe. The trailer sayd that i can make a army so then i want to be aible to deploy a army and that is in my sense full team deployment (16 players at the moment). |

Mostly I try to revive blue dots, but sometimes I'm too busy keeping my Heavy squad mate alive with a continuous repair stream to stop and take the time.
Sometimes the guy with the needle is otherwise occupied and may be quite a distance away. My advice is to have your own squad mate with a needle and coms and not rely on strangers. |

LOL. If you knew me GÇö and you don't, of course GÇö you'd know I'm pretty much the anti-thesis to a "suicidal random." After all, a logibro is no good sitting out there by him- or herself. S/he needs to stick with his/her squad or, at the very least, other blue dots. |

Oh, that's pretty much a guarantee. They just need time to learn the ropes. In the meantime, Yoda I shall (attempt to) be. |

I see what you did there.  In all seriousness, though, a "meters to xx" indicator would be incredibly useful. |

Well, for now I guess all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that CCP is working on that sort of thing for future beta releases. One of the more immediate improvements I'd like to see are larger squad sizes GÇö six at a minimum and up to eight, ala MAG. That would be especially helpful when you have a larger number of corporation members online at once. |

Ha! It's a version of the old advice, "Don't take candy from strangers." Dust version: "Don't rely on strangers to bring you back into the battle!" |

I wish there was a distance indicator. It seems like you can see EVERYONES bleed out indicator so long as your looking in that direction. It's annoying to get the indicator showing up and start running towards it to find out it's coming from halfway across the map or what have you.
When down, you'd know if the nearest revive-capable teammate was getting closer to you (hopefully for a revive and not to just get to an objective) or not even bothering with you.
I remember them "working on it", but that was forever ago, so it's kinda swivly right now. |

The fit I mainly use has a nanite injector, but that's only if some people working with my LAV get downed.
I almost never leave my LAV, in fear of the usual instances of blueberries jacking it. You might see me spawn-camping a red CRU, but that's because I'm covering it while my teammates make their way over to hack, instead of making their way over to drive off and crash my methana. |

you do realise that reviving a teammate does not refund them a death count, meaning if you revive a teammate who got killed again 1 second later the deaths will count as 2 instead of 1
the only benefit of a logi reviving you right now is you save the current set of dropsuit

You're correct, reviving a team mate does not save a death (Kill/Death count) but does save a clone which is vital in Ambush. |

Here's a good idea for the medic system.
Look at MAG's and do your best to copy it. The whole medic system in MAG worked, and worked well; you knew if someone had a medkit, repair kit or electronics, and when someone was down you knew how far away they were and if you were down you could see medics coming.
Is it really that hard to do something similar? |

sometimes i think the "triage is nearby" message is buggy, reason being, the logi's will be on the ass end of the map but the message will pop up. like when im playing as a logi and i see a downed squadmate or blueberry, the syringe sign is on the other side of the map, so if i had to run over to revive him it might be too late.  |

LOL. Quoted for truth!
I'll be following my squad, keeping their armor and health up and, all of a sudden, the syringe symbol appears, seemingly nearby, on the map. "Oh," I think, "Well, that looks relatively close, and my little group of blue dots seems to be doing well, so I'll trot on over and get that downed blue dot back into the fight."
(45 seconds later)
"Good God almighty! These maps are so damn big, and I'm *still* trying to find that downed blue dot!"
At which point, to add insult to injury, I begin hearing screams of agony over the comm from my squad.
"Quill! Where are you, bro?! I'm low on ammo!"
"My armor! It's gone, IT'S GONE! Help me, Quill, help ..." BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! *death rattle*
At which point I go rushing back ... and get sniped.
