Not sure how to address this but....

I would like to see a limit to the number of revivals by a medic. Make it like ammo.

Reason???

I ended up on a map that was 3 on 2 for most of the map and ended up getting ganked....

Kiromus Lyndis Kytaar of Imperfects was on my side and Zxyre Kralizec of IMPSwarm was on the apposing side.

I would come up to take the spawn and Kiromus would distract me with gun fire while Zxyre would kill me and then Kiromus would continuously revive me while Zxyre would kill me..... 12 revive/deaths later they quite. Zxyre would be up 12 kills and Kiromus would be up all the points for the revives....

Do I consider this a bug??? Not in the normal sense. Maybe something can be changed. I was not able to prevent my revival nor was I able to exit the map while this was going on so I was forced to be revived and killed repeatedly.

Do I consider it cheating? Yes. Both characters have enormous kill/death ratios and I suspect this is why.

Please move this where you see fit. This is not a attack on a character or characters but a flaw that I see that can be exploited exponentially.

Please take a moment to re-read it. The guy reviving was a team mate. The guy killing was a enemy.

I reread it, I stand by MY points (your solution is like cutting off an arm to cure a hangnail), but you have one as well, with a relatively easy fix. Simply implement a quick "left click to accept revive, right click to respawn" prompt (or x/o for controller users; button choice is deliberate on my part to make it fast and have you already positioned to start fighting right away, since you're probably still under fire.).

I don't think "accepting" a nanite injection is really an optional thing. The best solution (in my opinion) is to make it so you can only be revived by nanites X number of times per clone before respawn.

Two sounds like a fine number to me.

That would be a sufficient fix. I just want to make sure that it is not a automatic revival for a exploit like this one.

Really? You want to make the nanite injector even harder to use than it currently is? And not for some reason like you cleared an enemy base only to have everyone get revived, but because you were getting constantly killed on revival and were upset about your meaningless KDR. It's not like you were losing something of value like your ISK.

I have two better solutions off the top of my head,

1) Remove the death from your stats if you got revived, since you didn't actually die. Would help satisfy the stat-crazies out there, but I'm sure there'd be other stat-crazies who say that's not fair so

2) Upon being injector, give you an option of whether or not you want to accept the revival.

EDIT: Read the other posts here, seems you touched on some of this already. That's fine, just don't do something stupid like giving the nanite injector "ammo" or only making clones revivable a certain number of times.

You were obviously trolled. Back when I could carry a med kit on my assault suit I used to revive people into the line of fire just for the fun of it.

This is all good.

I don't really care if other people are point exploting by blowing each other away and reviving. It isn't that big of a deal anyways.

It can also be exploited to keep him out of the fight, if he's being revived fast enough to prevent choosing a respawn. This would mean two people out of the fight (since the one blueberry is already working against the team).

Oh noes, AWOXING has reached Pubs!

I think he is upset cause he was used in there ploy to gain points. And they used to allow u to choose to respawn or take the revive don't know why they changed it to the current system

You forget, I support AWOXing :-)

Depending on who this was done to, this could be an inconvenience or it could be devastating, depending on various factors like what fits he has that others don't, being their best player, or worst of all being their platoon commander.

It can also be exploited to keep him out of the fight, if he's being revived fast enough to prevent choosing a respawn. This would mean two people out of the fight (since the one blueberry is already working against the team).

Then you have no right to complain. It's not like the friendly was getting any points after the first revive anyways.


Except it also keeps the medic and the shooter out of the game as well, and it doesn't cost you ISK or lose your team clones.I would hope the teams 'best player' know to jam 'x' then 'triangle' to just respawn...

I just personally think, that a death should only be counted if they have to respawn, and a kill should only be counted if they had to respawn, ensuring this exploit can't possibly happen, and enforce shooting the body upon a kill.

This way so that medics can have a more rewarding feeling when they do successfully revive a teammate but they should also only receive WPs for the initial revive of a clone any other is worth 0 WP but still prevents a death and WPs+kill for the enemy team, while making it so that the killer has to ensure that they killed an enemy soldier to get their 50 WP, and not leaving him to be revived by a nearby medic. Makes the medics job harder, but more rewarding.
