MyRifleIsBroken Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've done at least 100+ arkfalls over the weekend and i would say i have been revived 2-3 times out of 20+ times i needed it, i ask in chat but nobody ever bothers helping. Is this normal or are people just not seeing me down on the floor I already have my 100 revives for the pursuit and i still revive all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remadee Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I usually get revived in Arkfalls and CO-OP missions if I need it. Sure, it may take a minute or two, but there's always someone willing to help. I revive as soon as I see someone needs one, but unless you're directly in front of the downed guy, or actively looking for people who need reviving, it can be difficult to see them during the mayhem of an Arkfall.

Nozza Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Cause they're lazy. But how come you made THIS thread, but didn't use it for this? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyxflamegod Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Options that I can think of as to why people won't revive you; Lazy Can't see you due to the god aweful downed player display (half the time I can barely see people WHEN I'm actively looking for them) Think it's less competition for the loot rewards (even though reviving anyone even once automatically escalates your loot priority...) Jerks in general Can't get to you due to all the attacks. (Those pods are pretty damn brutal) Take your pick, all are common reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 There's barely any indicator when someone is down that's not in your group, it's especially hard to notice in arkfalls. I bet if they patched it to be more noticeable, people would get revived more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhunterrrr Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I usually type an angry message into the chat when people are standing next to me but not reviving me. They promptly pick me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metabolic XBA Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I haven't played in a few days but the last time I did an Arkfall I couldn't even switch weapons when my ammo ran out nevermind pick anyone up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeAddict5 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The only reason I don't go to pick up someone is if I don't see them. I had a guy down right next to me, but because I was shooting up at the flying bug I didn't see him until I reloaded. Besides I think it may be worth points if you revive someone. I came in first in a major arkfall with only 20 kills, but had 33 revives. I only revived two so I have no idea where that number came from.

SuNuS Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I believe it's 50% laziness and 50% lack of a good visual that someone is down. Even in groups for co-op maps it's hard to see when someone is down. They really need to address that in a future patch. Put a big flashing + over the head of a downed ally.

MAD MAC Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I was doing an arkfall yesterday ,i was downed and was crawling round players feet and still no revive .It was actually a player who was nowhere near me that ran over to revive .Another thing i've found is players are often too quick to self-revive , i see them going down and before i can get near them ,up they get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've literally gone into an arkfall, revived one person, and left before. Just to see what would happen. Walked out with a purple Respark with 25% hp recovery that I use still, and some grenade.

The orange light thingy I mean. Also maybe they could change the color of the player on the minimap too(from purple/green/blue), so that you'd be able to see a downed player from through objects as well as behind you.

LordDVS Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Having been playing a lot of Guild Wars 2, I keep making comparisons about how the Arkfalls feel like the major Meta Events in that game. But in GW2, when people go down, you know and see it well. Even on your mini map there are indicators that people are downed. And also, that game makes reviving players rewarding, as you gain XP for helping out, so there is almost always a kind soul looking to res. I carry over that habit, but I can hardly ever notice people are downed unless I'm purposely looking for dead people. I always feel bad when I'm laying into a target, and then happen to notice some person has been limping at my feet for who knows how long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutterk73 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 i always try to help ppl out and so far i havent been downed and not been helped.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear. Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I never notice randoms down because I'm always scoped in my LMG focused on either the boss or the minibosses. Also randoms tend to disappear on screen a lot if there are a ton of people at that arkfall. I always try to get to anyone I'm on comms with. Unless someone else on comms is on it.

h4mm32 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 You do. I've literally gone into an arkfall, revived one person, and left before. Just to see what would happen. Walked out with a purple Respark with 25% hp recovery that I use still, and some grenade. before THIS patch today this wasnt true but assuming things work properly now it will be. I have done arkfalls where i did all the damage to 3 minor sections and then got first in overall arkfall damage with multiple revives and received two green tachyon shields. other times i have fired shots in passing while trying to do a quest and did nothing else and received purples. the system before today's patch was COMPLETELY RNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waxc3 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I revive everyone I see down unless there's just zero possible safe way I can help them. Even then I sometimes run in and try. A revive grenade (like in gears judgment) would be nice. Normal grenades don't seem all that useful for offense so a health grenade would be appreciated.

xCGIx PUNISHER Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 They need to add something to the mini map to indicate a downed teammate. Like a lot of other have said, when you're focused on everything else going on it can be difficult to see downed teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucent Beam Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think it shows them as plus signs, but I could be confusing it with something else. Not on the mini-map, but you do see your group mates with a plus when they're low health and when they're down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas_loel Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Most of the times when i go to revive someone i get to like 90% on the bar and they self rez, gets kinda annoying but i try to help out when i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drias Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 i blame games that make it so you can effectively wipe out an entire army by yourself. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucent Beam Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Also, why is the title of this thread so grammatically incorrect?
