Allowing you to call for help from the "kill screen" is a great idea. We should be able to add that easily.
We will also take a look at how we can improve the kill screen and overview map to let you understand if you're in bleedout or dead. |

On the "automatically call for help" feature, there are many voices both for and against. Allowing you to go to the overview map directly gives you the opportunity to make a tactical decision if it's better to respawn in a new location or run from where you are.
I can think of two possible changes of the top of my head that might improve the system (apart from fixing actual bugs of missing icons, etc):
1. We always show the bleed out icon, but with some ammendment or color change if the player actually calls for help.
2. We allow you to configure automatic "call for help" when in bleedout.
What do you think? |

Thanks for your feedback on this issue and the suggested improvements.
The simplest change we can do right now is to make the call-for-help automatic, meaning the icon will be displayed immediately. This can be done with a simple server change and is already scheduled to go out very soon. The call-for-help button would still be around, but essentially do nothing.
The icon color, better help buttons and the ability to call for help from the kill screen requires a client update and I'm currently looking at when we can get this in, and what other changes related to this we would want to do at the same time.
Thanks,
CCP Draco

The quick fix will let you wait on the kill screen, the icon will show right away.
We will also look into what we can do with these other suggestions:
- Offsetting the kill screen, and/or allowing it to be toggled on/off.
- Adding a remaining bleedout timer/indicator to the bleedout icon so they know if it's worth running over.
- Some kind of indication, color, flashing, or other, to indicate that you really want to be revivied.
- Allow "call for help" from the kill screen.
- KEROSIINI-TERO's list of other suggestions.
- Improve the location of the icon vs. the corpse.
Cheers,
