If you die at a major Arkfall ...

[ViciousTwist]

This problem would be fixed if the game didn't allow players to self-revive. It doesn't even make sense that we can revive ourselves.

Unfortunately, no one wants to waste time waiting for someone to finally run and get them if they don't have to. People are gunning for rank one, and if someone takes a long time to get you back up, that's a lot of time and potential damage wasted.

??? Really? If I start an Arkfall when it shows up, I'm generally in the top 3... regardless of how many times I get downed.

In fact, some info for when you hit the top of the damage done....

The more damage you do, the more aggro you pull. Kind of hard to avoid dying when you're being shot at by multiple archers, and have a matriarch or two on you. I mean, to be quite honest, when I get downed, typically I have to wait longer than usual because I continue to be attacked by all of the above - AS people try to res me. Somehow though, I still end up somewhere in the top 3 (and generally several 100k above the person below me).

Being at the top of the scoreboard has less to do with how quickly you are res'ed, and more to do with knowing where to aim and when.

LOL when I go down in an arkfall I usually have like 5-8 people all in a circle around me trying to rez me first. Sometimes I want the down time to swap weapons FFS.

I play the PC version, and unless im off on the other side of the arkfall where no one else is, or in the middle of tons of explosions..i have tons of people racing to rez me.

No they won't. People rarely revive others at arkfalls, at least on the pc.

Only reason I don't is because I don't see them...very rarely am I looking down at the ground, I'm usually aiming towards the bosses...crystals or whatever, the only time I do actually see somebody dying is when they say in chat to "rez me" they should have flashing "!" above peoples corpses or somehow make it easier to see them, maybe change the color of their corpse red or something, give us an option to turn the feature off/on because I know the hardcores and pros would be against something so convenient like that.

I will revive you on the PC. Just. Stay. On. The. Ground. I hate kneeling down to rez someone and they disappear. Arggh, I'll never get credit like that.

This quote doesn't have much to do with rezzing, but it's so true I had to quote it. Glowing orange is your best target be it the mouth, butt, or tail of a target.

It really drives me nuts whenever I'm actively reviving someone and they self rez. I've only got 50/100 revives people, I WANT TO DO THIS.

before the flare damage nerf I was planning on suiciding then letting my clan mates revive me in major arkfalls, but now I have no idea how many shots it'll take to kill me lol. Used to be one, the damage would take out my shields and 1/3 my health, then fire damage kills me.

EDIT: It was also hilarious when I was jumping trying to get a Dark Matter sniper then the flare hit the ceiling right above me and I was running in circles screaming "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO DIE OH GOD OH GOD" and my clan mate was just "shut up khor"

I Use the perk allowing me to revive everyone in a 75 meter radius.
I don't even rank on 75% of arkfalls I do, solely because I revive people.
Nothings more annoying then running to someone and starting to
revive them only to have them disappear.

that perk only works for people that are inside your Group, unfortunately.

If I see someone down I try to help, there is no point in trying to get the most damage in an ark fall anyways, at least, I do not see a reason for it. Most are killing the little hell bug things though to get their pursuit up, which makes the ark fall longer than it should be.
