good point.
i was still doing the old fashioned run to the body with needle in hand method. i'll train myself to run with the repair tool and use the circle button method from now on. |

I'd just like to acknowledge that we're aware of this problem and we're looking into various solutions, like allowing the client to do the "hit detection" and the server only make a check if it's reasonably close or not.
Cheers, CCP Draco
Just like to jump in here and show that while these tips are great there is a middleground fix coming soon. Middleground because we don't know if it will fix it, it will still need alot of testing so keep your nanites out. |

I've been trying to revive everything that dies around me lately (even if I know it's going to end badly) to test the best way to revive. Here is what works the best for me:
- I still revive the "old school"-method, I swith to my Ni while I run to the dead body.
- Locate the feet of your dead ally and align with them so you are overlooking his dead body from his feet.
- Move a bit around untill you get the "press R1 to revive" message (the press "O"-method might work too?)
- Press R1.
Note: (as of now) Revives won't work if the dead body rolled/fell down. God knows where the dead body actually is when a bluedot gets run over by a LAV, so you won't get to revive them either if this happends (with exception to some rare occasions).
Happy Reviving All! |

That one worked quite well for my girlfriend!
Oooh!... That sounds odd!...

Great thread and thanks to the OP for posting the suggestions. I follow the above quoted method and find I have about an 80 percent success rate.
I still am not sure about a couple of things.
1) Does a blue dot have to hit the "X" button on the map screen in order to be revived? I always do but that would explain why I see so few opportunities for revives.
2) I always equip the injector. Does this mean if I don't equip the injector but try to revive the clone like I usually do with the injector, the "O" button notice will pop up? I am still not clear if the circle button only appears if the down clone "calls for help" or will just appear when any player carrying an injector is in the "injector spot"?
3) Can anyone confirm it the advanced or proto injectors are easier to use, make it easier to find the "injector spot"?
Thanks. |

@greyarea67:
1) This may increase the visibility of seeing when blue dots need to revive. The only thing is I've seen the icon AS SOON as they "die" (when they get killed by the enemy and immediately during the "dead-body-fall" animation) meaning that it wasn't possible for them to have hit "Call For Help" as they haven't even gotten the Kill Report screen and thus the ability to Call For Help. And yet other times, I've seen people run around with the Swarm Launcher and the revive icon is hovering above them even though they are alive AND I don't even have a nanite injector (lolwut).
2) Yes, when you press O, your character will switch to the injector and attempt to revive and then switch back to your weapon/equipment item. The reason I say "attempt" is because I have pressed O while over a body and whipped out the nanite injector. However, I moved a slight bit too far and my character just stood there like an idiot for a little bit, eventually switching back to my weapon. This tells me that:
##Psudocode## If friendly_revivable_dead_body is "Nearby" Then [b]Start timer for x seconds[b/] Equip nanite_injector Use nanite_injector When timer = 0 Then Switch back to previous_item ##End Lousy Psudocode##
TL;DR: Basically, it's on a timer.
3) I am now using Proto Injectors and I'm not really seeing a difference between the Militia, Standard, Advanced or Prototypes. From my experience I would vouch to say better injectors are NOT in correlation to success rate. (Of course, it's hard to pinpoint the problem; refer to 1.)
Cheers and good luck! |

Just saying. Oh trust me, I'm with you on that.
But for now, we'll have to find ways to make it work and if there is ways that make it work better, I'm all for that.
At least it seems they hotfixed the revive icon slightly. Still seeing it come up when people run Swarms, but overall the visibility of downed allies seems to have increased. |

I want them to put the "'old school'" method of pulling out the needle and then switching to the repair tool. |

That's silly, just switch to your repair tool and press O. It saves time instead of having to switch over between the two. |

Pressing O seems so slow, I used to keep my repairtool ready when the stabbing animation started playing in the previous build, now I don't even dare to press a single thing while the stabbing animation plays.
I'm missing all that risky on the fly rezzing and repping and I hope that reviving will be a smooth procedure once again in the sooner than SOONGäó-future.
Edit: it would be cool that we can set our own weapon/equipment to swap to when we press the 'R2'-button. |

I guess the same key you use when you enter a vehicle/hack with. The message of "Press ?-button to revive" needs to popup first before you can use it. |

LOL If you can manage, switch to your rep tool using the crappy weapon wheel, and do what exactly? 1. Hit the button, 2. Wait, that didnt work 3. Release and hit the button, 4. Wait, that still didnt work 5. Hit the button again, YAY :) damn!!! :( wrong lock 6. Go to point 1 |

Wow, my thread got revived, and with some more helpful tips no less. Thanks guys.
I just wanted to come back hear to add one more bit of advice I've leaned, one that many people (particularly non-Logis) don't know or understand:
At this point, when someone is killed by being ran over by an LAV, it is NEVER possible to revive them. The revive symbol will show up everytime, and they will get a countdown until they officially die, but I have never successfully revived someone killed by an LAV in Uprising.
This has led to some misunderstandings with people I've squaded with, where they ask for a revive, I tell them it's not possible because of the LAV, and they try to argue with me because they see the "Call for Help" button and the revive icon. But please just trust me, if you've been hit by an LAV, you are down for the count. |
