Cat Merc BetaMax. CRONOS. 3384	Posted - 2013.07.20 19:35:00 - [1] - Quote If you get downed, and then someone revives you, should it count as a death? Before PC I would say yes. But after playing PC matches, I realized that what's important is your clone efficiency, as clones cost money and are needed for respawns. Revives restore the lost clone. So basically nothing lost, so why should it count as a death? Discuss. Disclaimer: I am on the side of nobody as I have not deicded myself, I just play as devil's advocate for discussion

But the clone was restored, not wasting any resources, so why should it count in the end? And there is no reason to take the kill away. Maybe add a clone lost counter in addition to the deaths counter?

I edited my first post with this: If it's changed so it doesn't count as a death it should also be changed so that you get 50 points for downs and then another 10 points for the kill if he actually bleed out. It should also be way easier to force people to bleed out (by shooting them etc). Then I would probably be ok with it.

If it was easier to force people to bleed out nanite injectors would be even less common. It's already very easy to bleed them out, do a headshot or kill them with explosive weaponry. About your points idea, that sounds neat. It should also only give 10WP if you kill the same guy again with the same clone. So if he does gets revived you won't get too many points from farming him.

P14GU3 The Southern Legion RISE of LEGION 197	Posted - 2013.07.20 19:52:00 - [11] - Quote When did you join BetaMax? And why?? Also it should count. I killed you. I got points for it. You get counted for a death. It only affects K/D which is a pointless stat in this game, so why does it matter?

And this isn't about K/D, this is about your effectiveness on the battlefield, I couldn't care less about K/D, what I do care about is that you wasted a clone costing us money and possibly the match.

K/d is not pointless only people with bad k/d's say that, last I checked ambush is about kd..your team gets more kills than deaths or you lose

True I forgot about that, but also think you never fully died you were brought back before the bleedout, if they can bring you back how could that possibly count as a death?
N1ck Comeau Pro Hic Immortalis League of Infamy 795	Posted - 2013.07.20 20:13:00 - [16] - Quote Maybe 2 different counters, Downs is when you get put down but get revived. Deaths is when you bleed out
Nalhe Saldana Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 41	Posted - 2013.07.20 20:25:00 - [17] - Quote Yes, its the death before the revive that shouldn't.

P14GU3 The Southern Legion RISE of LEGION 198	Posted - 2013.07.20 20:41:00 - [19] - Quote If you get revived 6 times its still only one clone lost, but you can keep pressure on a point possibly winning the game. Hence, why I say K/d is pointless outside of ambush atleast. But I usually play skirm/fw/pc
THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD 90	Posted - 2013.07.20 20:54:00 - [20] - Quote Deaths after being picked up should not count. Give players an incentive to wait it out.
