Why does no one revive anyone at all?

[Delte]

I now have a nice loaout for Arkfalls to help with reviving other players. It does make me mad though when I do go down and crawl to the nearest person and they just walk from me.

So I usualy go with a BMG and a Infector gun healing and doing damage as I look for anyone thats fallen down.

The problem is when you aren't in front of or beside them. I was on one mission and another guy was doing it too, there was a two story building and he was above me and I was under him dying and he had no idea. I'd already used my self revive and didn't want to extract, I kept hoping he would come down stairs and see me but he never did, he just sat up there shooting and I was crawling around.

Edit: I let my little bar run out and it extracted me, I came back and finished the mission, but it sucked.

It's cases like these that make me wish you could bring up your chat box while downed. The icon would be nice (and something I would like to see actually) but I have a feeling if that's implemented it will be a proximity type deal in that if I'm on a hillside sniping into an area where a player is doing ground work, I wouldn't be able to see it. If they could type it however...

at least on ps3 a lot of idiots die to the blast pod stalk things and reviving someone with those around is almost gurenteed death. otherwise they die when the boss is out and I am busy DPSing, but I revive people I see because getting the 100 revives pursuit will take a while.

Seriously, at least 10 times now I go down with upwards of 30 people around, not one person stops to revive me.. Great sense of community out there...

ahem! i play the medic when in an ark fall or in any event/mission it's just people want to get back into the action so they respawn or self-revive. one ark fall i got 30 revives.

I always revive just like I always get out and help. I finished the store and majority of the side so I'm just wandering around to see what and if people need help with anything .

I always revive people (y) Then hopefully they return the favour if I need reviving. But yea most people do seem to ignore you

this is how i operate. but most of the time they leave you for dead. i even risk myself to heal other players.

I seem to have had the exact opposite to the op, most arkfalls I haven't had time to self res before someone's healing me! and if I see you down i'll res you ,(lost count number of times i've res'd someone then i've gone from some bug aoe and the person raises me!) - it's pretty simple res people and their more inclined to do the same!

Till today I didn't even know I could revive other players. I revived what I thought was an NPC only to realize afterwards it was another Player.

There's really no in game communication. I just read a faq and now I also now realize that some of those bugs at the arkfalls shouldn't even be killed. lol oh well....

Yep, as others have mentioned, one of the reasons is that it's often very difficult to see when someone nearby is downed when you're in the middle of a huge Arkfall. A noticeable icon above them, like the downed NPCs have, would be extremely helpful.

One of my characters is a pure medic, and during Arkfalls, all I do is just run around with my BMG ablaze, looking for people who I get a fountain of green healing numbers off of. I'd love to be on the lookout for downed players to revive as well, but rarely do i see any and can get to them in time.
