Hi Cross Atu, thanks for the feedback!

On the Nanite Injector, we're aware of the location mismatch between the "corpse" and the location you need to use the injector and it's on our list of things to work on.

Technically, the problem is that the "rag doll" plays individually on each client, it's not enforced into a specific location by the server. This saves some processing and network time and makes the rag doll behave better when falling against walls and other objects on your machine. Thus, the server only knows the death location, but at the same time it's only the server that is allowed to confirm that you've successfully revived someone. Nevertheless, we should be able to make this behave better.

Cheers,
CCP Draco

How about we just lose the rag doll then? Most every other game has the fellow fall where he's shot, like MAG, Planetside 2, and Battlefield, to name a few. I'm sure people won't mind losing something so trivial to improve player performance.

I like watching them fall though..... For example the five letter map with those two pipes.... you kill some pompous sniper from below and get to see his body tumble over and down. Priceless.

True, you may like to watch the doll tumble, but what about you? What about when YOU are the doll? Wouldn't you like to not be forced to respawn and lose your fit because your doll decided to flop down the hill when 'you' are still at the peak? Gameplay is FAR more important than little graphical nuances. ALSO, I like how I asked him to remove ragdolls, but the guy after me parroted me and got all the like. Stay classy, forums.
