This is ridiculous. There should be no way a teammember can rez you before you get a chance to suicide, and even worse, four times in a row. Guy sits there rezzing me while the enemy guy sits there shooting me. Nothing I can do about it, completely locked into it. |

Better solution, remove the teribad "kdr" stat and replace with something worth tracking (like ISK efficiency, or War Points per Death). Or better yet, since I can already hear the howls about having no KDR stat just fix the broken way KDR is tracked and give deaths based on having bleed out and cost your side a clone (kills can stay as they are).
Actually I don't much care of the OP gets followed but the ridiculous "[Top Priority]" tag needed to be highlighted for it's level of sillyness. KDR in Dust at this juncture is only and e-peen stat it does not directly apply to anything of meaning (the alternate ideas I listed above are the refinements of it which actually hold some relevance). Changes to protect a vanity stat aren't even remotely a top priority when fundamentals like WP awards balance for equipment, WP awards (basically at all) for Dropships, damage bugs, targeting bugs, terrain mesh bugs, outdated descriptions, UI improvements (shooting through terrain anyone?) social features (Alliance chat, proper function of EVE/Dust Corp mail etc), skill bugs (listed effects not being applied) etc. etc. are all still on the table. Then there are new features like the player market, Corp management features, PvE, Arena, Nova Knife improvements, working star map, player to player contracts, Fighter/Bomber, battle mec, Arena, shooting range, et al as well. Things that effect the e-peen can be looked into after things that meaningfully effect the game.

Honestly, while the KDR annoys me, it's less about the KDR, and more about being locked out of my own game. I was unable to play while being treated to this. It should really be considered an exploit, if anything. This is perhaps the only game I've played where the player is forced to accept a rez.
And yes, being unable to play while two other players fiddle with your body is kinda more important than anything you list. It's right up their next to the Immobile Infantry's infinite OB exploit. |

There is a POWER SLIDE for such occasions and more... https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=49887
Quote:(...)When you are in bleed out. When you hear the stab from your local logi bro. Hold in on L3 and push in the direction you want to POWER SLIDE. You will instantly slide around 10 yards in that direction. To the people around you it will look like you are sliding into home plate with one leg out and one tucked under. So much for that sniper getting you twice. I also think I was able to do this after an inertia drop but I need to check that out today again. I was also able to do a jump mid power slide once that made for some neat parkour off the side of a cliff.(...) |

Wholeheartedly agree. Can I have your thread so I can go support it?
And remaining on topic, yes. Definitely should have bleed out before revives. |

If bleed out were prioritised over revives, I wouldn't want rejecting revives to be an option. |

I need to make this clear: Rezzers do not receive any extra WP for reviving someone who died before and was downed within a short period |

It was requested several times from CCP Devs that rezzing be possible only if downed merc "Requests help" with a square button. Syringe icon on nanite holders' HUD should appear only after someone requests help... |

I have also had this happen. That's one way to come alive dead in the game. The other is to 'spawn' somewhere whilst lying on the ground dead or hitting the ground bleeding.
I think you should be grateful that the medic even noticed you or bothered with you. Fact is that the nanite injector is pretty irrelevant. 90% of the time it has to be enemy, wounded, and medic somewhere alone for the medic to be able to take enemy out right after enemy took wounded down and then medicate the wounded.
Your OP said you were trying to suicide so I thought hmmmmm, I wonder if he has figured out a way of suiciding before dying and that robs enemy of the kill?
Better try it out!

That's kinda like saying: "You should be grateful you were raped, because you 'got some' for free." Abuse is abuse.

I was referring to forcing a bleed-out as being "suicide". My apologies for the confusion. |

Another alternative is that after the injection, players have the option of getting up aka get your life back or still die. This way you could play dead until the enemy at least comes over or moves on. Restrictions would of course need to be in place so someone can't lay on the ground the entire match. Something like an extended timer after being injected, square to accept revive or o to bleed out. |

Well, yeah "Accept Revive" is available in Battlefield 3.
Kinda immersion breaking, but definitely necessary. Honestly, we have some really mean logis out there, that would continously rez BEFORE securing the area.
I mean, at least suppress the guy shooting your way before attempting the rez. |

That's what the game needs. It really only needs maybe a 15-30 second rez timer, just something that lets you wait a few seconds to accept, or reject it altogether. |

I love how you just compared being temporarily inconvenienced in a video game to sexual assault. Yes, those two are one in the same.
On topic: They need to drop KDR as a stat or have deaths only count on bleedout / suicide.

You should never reject a revive if you are down on clones, you may be able to do the jerk into safety. KDR is second to almost everything. KCR is far more important. |

Hold left stick towards nearest cover.
Click it in as you hear the injector sound.
You will now be in cover, and not dying like a kitten. |

Just remove all public stats. Get rid of all the leader boards, or change them to PC possession boards. Maybe keep WPs, make a WP/match stat. K/DR scrubs might actually play the game and I won't have to carry so many people on my back. |

I like how half of you don't understand the point. It's not about KDR, it's about being locked into a loop you cannot escape due to bad game mechanics. |
