We've been over this repeatedly for months on the forums- it's a death because you slowed down your team.
Preventing a death means you have to do some work- by getting downed, you failed to prevent yourself for potentially getting a death, but someone else put time and effort into picking your sorry ass off the ground.
A good KDR means you can take care of yourself- you don't need some medic saving your ass.

However, it only damages your KDR, because the medic saved you to keep the clone count up.

If they fix...what? Nothing is broken. You went down. Your HP went below 0. That's a death. You don't undo that just because someone saved you afterwards.

Thats not true

Your KDR reflects how bad you suck, not your ISK efficiency.

Not true at all, your KDR reflects absolutely nothing. I agree with the OP that it shouldn't count as a death for the simple fact that you didn't die, you were just wounded. Perhaps you went crazy and reckless because you knew you had a medic nearby, but in any other circumstance you would of never made that decision. Honestly I don't care because KDR doesn't effect anything in this game, it's just a bragging stat.


My favorite suit is a logi and I run around supporting my team giving them ammo, repairing their armor, and picking them up when they fall. I'll often get in the top 3 players on the team with a few death and maybe only a couple kills simply because that's not what I'm focusing on. Heck, I made it into the top 3 players without killing anyone once.

And that is why medic get points for picking you up. Your not making sense buddy. As I said before you did not die yet. If they fix this it would be more of an incentive to let someone revive you.

To be honest i didn't realize that a "revive" counts as a death, to i saw this topic. Now i know this, i don't going to be waiting for a medic any more. As soon as i die, i going to re-spawn as quick as possible, and get a right NEW, fully restock dropsuite.

What you guys has done in the Close Beta ? it seems that CCP have some horrible advice from some of you guys.

When some one dies in a hospital and is then revived, they still died.

And came back, so they beat death. When they come back they are no longer dead. Stats should reflect most up to date information.

It seems you don't understand what a "death" is. It is an event that occurs, not a state of being. None of us can actually "die" as our consciousness is simply transferred to a new clone at the moment our current body expires.

Whether you spawn into a new clone or whether somebody uses a nanite injector on you is irrelevant. Your KDR is just another metric that potential employers can use to determine your value as a merc. Therefor each time you are killed it represent a potential loss of a clone and resources. This way it measures your skills at combat, not a corpmates skill with the needle.

Don't forget nothing is simply stuck in to this game. Everything has a purpose and to greatest extent possible nothing is arbitrary.

On the rare occasions that I run a logibro I'll let someone bleed out before I'll revive them without clearing the area first. Only time they'll get a double killed is if a red dot straight up outplays me and sneaks in there. The double death caused by idiots in pub matches is just that; idiots. It sucks that their stupidity screwed you but it happens to all of use and that doesn't mean they need to start changing game mechanics.

OP, What you're saying is that if you get downed and revived you shouldn't have a death on you, what is supposed to happen to the person that "killed" you? they took you all the way down and got a kill added to their stats, is that kill supposed to be removed once you get revived? that's robbing the enemy player of that kill. You're asking if it is intentionally implemented, i believe it is just to reflect the skill of all players. If someone bests you in combat and runs off, then a teammate comes up to revive you, that opponent still bested you and it should reflect on their stats.

it counts as a death because you died, if it weren't like that kdr's would be skewed.

Again aren't you lying there calling for help? Does the term bleeding out mean your already dead? Funny, I never heard a dead man call for help.
