I do try to revive people as much as possible. However, in an Arkfall, it's pretty hard to see if a person needs reviving. I would like a little revive icon to people who need reviving so it's easier to see.

Ehhh, it used to not be that way. At least on NA Xbox in the first week. Im noticing now that people have got to be either on second characters or they are super high level and just don't care anymore. It is harder to find groups of people in major Ark Falls willing to revive from as little as 2 days ago.

The last arkfall I did at the end it showed revived totals, so if anyone doesn't like reviving just know everyone will get to see how much of a team player you really are. I think I have 36 revives thus far.

I blame the weapon scopes giving people tunnel vision.
Kill them! Kill them with fire!! Nothing worse than going along at a good clip and then the dreaded, as I like to call it, "circle of death" pops up. If you're down and these are locked on to you I would almost rather have my fellow Ark Hunter not even try to pick me up because it's instant death. And then you'll get caught in a he/she helped me I need to help them revive loop. It's the worst. I almost want to type leave me be when this happens because I'd rather bleed out than to have someone constantly getting dumped on trying to revive me but...I can't type when I'm down.
Now...having said that. I think this is where your perks that deal with the refreshing of your self revive may come in handy. Especially if you're going to alternate between support damage and healing/reviving. The kills refreshing your self revive and the picking up of a downed companion refreshing your self revive will be quite handy in these situations I think.
In regards to people self reviving: I automatically self revive to save time, unless someone's standing over me or directly beside me when I go down. Otherwise, I could be laying there for a long time, especially if I'm behind a barrier. And honestly -- and this sounds elitist, so I'm sorry -- but if I get dropped, it's pretty darn bad. If the blastpods are in full force, I feel like I need to self revive immediately so I can take the pods out before I have to start reviving 4 or 5 downed players.
Now, when I die, by all means, help revive me.![]()
I'm always looking to revive people if possible... sometimes the 'downed' player icon wont appear above them....hard to see them.
They should allow you to use the emote chats to call for aid while you're crawling on the ground.
Its very hard to tell when members need to be revived. Especially if they are behind or to the side of you. There isn't an icon or anything that lets you know if someone is down. So if someone is down behind me, I will never know.
I help out downed players. But most of the time, the indicator doesn't show. I just happen to notice a player crawling across the battlefield.
