So... How did it taste?

this used to be the case in chronosome....not really an issue.

sure your kdr gets owned but that's one of the risks of playing with blue dots.

look at it this way, if people don't have targets to revive nobody will use nanite injectors, as has been the case for most of uprising. if you want to ever be picked up it's got to be this way imo.

Didn't taste very good after he died trying to forge gun my tank.

So there's no "call for help" now?

Well, maybe he was eager to test out the new revive-mechanics? One revive and you're already compplaining? Give it some time and then maybe you can make a point without the whining-attitude.

You do know hitting continue bleeds you out, right?

Now you almost have no choice if it takes you a second to change suits. Some moron wants his 60 points and picks you up In front of the same firing squad that put you down.

Yes run with friends I get it.

However this has now added another button for me to scroll past to not be picked up.

Not sure what the fix is but this really is annoying. Give me another choice like triangle to immediately choose to bleed out so I can't be ressed in the middle of a suit change!

This isn't something that happens a few times then never again because people are curious about it. This happens and is a problem in all shooter games where people can be revived. People do it because they want the free points and often times I see blue dots in many games screw over the person they revive, and themselves, putting themselves in a easy position to die and wasting your time. In the end it's "I'm playing for the team" camouflage for padding score at the risk of holding the team back.

There's a time and a place to revive and some people don't seem to understand that. Having an option to bleed out makes it so that you can keep these types of players from making that mistake. It's rare that I played with a logi (a real one, not just a logi assault) who revived often and did so at the right times instead of running into a hostile & active area, not shooting anyone around him, just to revive you so that you can both get gunned down a second later. Just wasting clones and time.

I'm not trolling, I just hate spam.

You put the example

John (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste
Dave (revive) HowDidThatTaste
Steve (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste


But in most games I play it would look like this.

John (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste
Dave (revive) HowDidThatTaste
John (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste
Dave (revive) HowDidThatTaste
John (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste
Dave (revive) HowDidThatTaste
John (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste
Dave (revive) HowDidThatTaste
John (assault rifle) HowDidThatTaste
Dave (revive) HowDidThatTaste

if you don't want a revive, then respawn.

i agree that getting revived right away sucks, but can't you just select a new spawn and that will cancel your down'ed corpse?

I'll never revive you and i'll emplore all logi's not to revive you either ... think of it this way .. how would new players learn when and how to revive if you take the option away from them ?? Once again vets thinking of new ways to put new players off PS If you select revive i cannot revive you through nanite injectors (i've had ppl die right next to me, ive killed the person who killed them 1 sec later go to revive and theyve clicked respawn already so i have to stand there and watch us lose a clone i could have revived had the player waited 5 secs) If you aren;t a Logi reviver then you have no right to decide when and if you get revived .. why would i bother being a logi if you decide what i should do ?? Let me and other logis focus on reviving and you focus on killing and not getting killed yourself !!!! How about Logi's get the ability to turn the weapons of allies around them off ??

Ppl make mistakes but you have to give them that opportunity .. if your really whinging about revives then dont play pub matches and do PC .. pub matches are there for new players to learn the game and their class and I dont just revive i repair straight away and do so with back up .. alot of games I play if the team is pinned down with 4+ of us then Me repping and reviving ppl who die around me is often what helps us turn a loss into a win but obviously you know better don't you ... You have to trust the medics and let them learn to become better ... do you think we like dying when we go to try and revive someone ??? Ofcourse not so why not try putting your trust in us and one day that medic that revived you by mistake may well be the same medic in the future that keeps you in a game you should have lost because right now for every mis revive that gets me and the person i revived killed (more often i revive the dead person, die myself and then they live lol) there are 10 ppl i could have revived safely that decided to respawn rather than waiting a few secs for me to revive them .. when your dead you cant see the battlefield or whats around .. we can so let us judge if its safe or not .. you;ve already got yourself killed once afterall

Not a absolute solution but could help alleviate the "rez-WP fishing"

[SUGGESTION:]
Give the WP bonus of base +60 only after the patient has lived ten seconds or more.


Ofc the real fix would be to get rid of the damn worthless kill mail screen and keep your PoV still in your eyes until you [hit the] bleedout.
but that's been suggested many times before.

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?

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:



GÇóOffsetting the kill screen, and/or allowing it to be toggled on/off.
GÇóAdding a remaining bleedout timer/indicator to the bleedout icon so they know if it's worth running over.
GÇóSome kind of indication, color, flashing, or other, to indicate that you really want to be revivied.
GÇóAllow "call for help" from the kill screen.
GÇóKEROSIINI-TERO's list of other suggestions.
GÇóImprove the location of the icon vs. the corpse.
