A small gripe about instant self-respawning.

Discussion

The fact we can do this is great. Separated from your squad with ten level 100 corpus techs staring at you as you're stuck in a corner? Thank god, you don't have to wait, knowing you're not going to get revived.

But I can't count how many people I've landed on, only to have them self-revive. I've seen people self revive, get insta-gibbed and self revive right after. It's maddening.

These are the same people who whine about having one revive left on long missions.

If you remove this feature, people will bring out the pitchforks.

Can't nerf it, it's now instant the moment you press X.

I'm to the point of not even looking in someones direction if they go down 5+ seconds away, it's damn near guaranteed that they'll respawn.

Did this post have a point? I don't know, really. Grumble grumble.

This revive change should stay, it's very handy. Stupid people are going to continue being stupid no matter what you do, wether you take* away insta revives or not.

Does the Darwin Award apply to video games?

The idea behind the real-life Darwin Award is that the recipients improved the gene pool by removing themselves from it in one way or another. I'm not sure what the video game equivalent would be, since there's very little that can truly keep you permanently from playing a game again if you really want to.

Doing something that's monumentally stupid and also gets you permabanned

That's probably as close as you can get, but even then you could presumably get back to playing the game if you were really dedicated, albeit not on the same account.

The reason it's a good thing was that with a long bleedout timer, downed players have to wait and watch while things unfold around them. I've been in pub sortie defences more than once and while downed, watched the operative die meters away. It's also just an annoying delay in those times when we know help is not forthcoming.

The only time I care about revives is on an xp farm while levelling gear, since the 10% penalty matters. If help is available in a normal mission, I will wait, but I appreciate the option of just avoiding the wait for the silly downs we get while careless.

I am getting harassed in chat way more often now than before and it is way more often than I ever have needed to self revive fast, personally. You do make a great point though.

Not to mention that the fuck-ups in sortie spy can now redeem themselves by insta-reviving.

I feel you bro. I've had a weird Vauban in my sorties the other day who immediately burned through all his revives, screamed at everyone else, and then disconnected. It's kinda ridiculous.

Truly, I was going to make this post, but I thought it would get down voted to oblivion because I just wrote it off as anecdotal experience, but I don't like this.

There's been WAY more cancer surrounding revives since the system came in. People self revive the moment they are downed and then talk shit to their mates when they get game over.

Sooooo many host migrations too. It is crazy.

I thought I would like the change, but people are too cancerous for me to like it. Personally, I want the old way back.

I've heard the argument made that it removes a lot of the consequence for death. Before, you really had to just sit there and think about how you stupidly ran off away from the rest of your squad and it got your ass kicked. Even if you didn't learn your lesson, it was a good amount of time to just make you sit in your own mess.

Now, you lose some affinity and get back up immediately. Unlucky shot, bad positioning, whatever. Too easy to blame on something else.

For me, this was one of my favourite QoL changes to the game ever. But I can see how it might, er, stunt the learning process. I haven't witnessed it firsthand, but I understand the idea.

And yeah, you only have 4 revives and lose affinity, but nobody's actually going to care about that until they're on their last revive.

what if you couldn't insta-revive if you had an ally within 5 meters or so?

Then I would stand next to dead players and aim at them. Watching.

Had the same happen in a few public games. A few times I was on my way to them when they self revived

The time to self revive w/o Vazarin instant revives is 1 second after pressing X now, right? Imo DE should either put it back to 4 seconds or make it either 2 or 3 seconds to self revive. I personally didn't mind the old rez time cuz it gave you a moment to think and consider self reviving until something comes along to change your mind, like an ally.
