Thats something I wonder. I have mine but I still try to pick people up. About halfway through the revive the bring themselves back or leave the area.
With the amount of lag some people have in this game your character may not have loaded on their screen so they don't know your down.Quote:

I must admit, Revive was where the game "MAG" absolutely excelled. You would get points for actually reviving people and your team would lose points if people self-revived or weren't healed. If they could somehow implement this into the game I think things would be a lot different.
But I do on the other hand, have been victim to not seeing down teammates. I think thats because of lag, but also due to there not being an ability to tell the difference between a down teammate and nobody there. If maybe they could implement a flashing blinker or just some way to know a person is down, that would be awesome. Just throwing it out there.

I've had to try to find people screaming for a revive and me not seeing them, not fun.
Other than that, if I ever found myself in the situation of seeing a rocket launcher noob being down after continuing to shoot at the skitterling spit crystals after being warned, you can bet your *** I would let him die. Probable stand next to him, revive him half way, then stop, repeat a few times.
sometimes i cant see the injured. its like they phase in and phase out. i only need to heal 4 and its done. i'll keep healing them after hiting the 100 mark
That's the main problem at arkfalls as a medic it's crazy annoying when,
people keep phasing in and out or just disappear all together...
On a side note I don't mind when people self revive, If you've got it USE IT! it's a cooldown not a finite use.
Yeah I'm all for people self reviving. The thing that I hate is when I see someone dead on the other side of the arkfall and I run over there and actually am the only person to revive him. Than when I'm halfway done reviving he self revives. Its like I know you saw me there reviving you. Pretty sure self revive doesn't recharge when ur dead (could be wrong bout that)
But yeah I got my 100 revives a while ago but I still try to help my friends get there 100.
Even if I do 'accidentally' get to close to my own grenade every once in awhile :)
It's because people are doing what they can to be on the top of a list that means nothing. So if you're down, that's less competition for them. Why bother getting you back up so you can put up more numbers? Just sayin'
sad but true, I've scored from all over the board and really don't care how i place. If i see someone down then i try to pick them up as best as i canQuote:

Toons aiming down a scope could be part of the problem. But I do agree that there should be some type of score bonus for reviving. It would also be nice if downed toons appeared as pink dots on the mini map.
Yea because when people go down their purple dots completely disappear.Quote:

I didn't make it onto the scoreboard top 20, but I still got my xp, keycodes and a decent purple item. That alone makes me want to spend less time at arkfalls spewing bullets and more time reviving and healing with a bmg.
Currently at 97/100 revives and as previously stated I seem to always end up having people "auto" revive half-way through me reviving them. Couple that with the "phasing"/"disappearing" act player's characters tend to have and it makes for a frustrating pursuit, not impossible, but frustrating.
I will say that I revive people during arkfalls I mean i've yet to complete that part of the pursuit mainly as people just self revive but I will still revive others even after that part of the pursuit is done.
Also I would agree that bonus points should be awarded at the end for reviving others i've been all over the top 20 scoreboard but reviving others does have it's own rewards such as new friends, after reviving someone in a raider arkfall they found me in headlands transit and even said thanks for the save and added me as a friend
LOL< theres such an easier way to get your hundred revives, just get in a group, stand inside the red circle and blow your self up, have group member revive, rinse, repeat... it works real fast with a full group.

learn to play people, destroy the crystal do not shoot the skitterlings, eventually they all die when you shoot enough holes on the crystal and they send back up, then repeat. at the arkfalls where it says kill the hellbug swarm be my guest and use as many gernades and rockets as you want. playing proper create more arkfalls which create more keycodes and more arkfall kills if that's what your going for is kills.
lol get a friend or two to cover you back and do it with a wolfhound or bull rush the damage output is insane.Quote:
