I think the having to wait eternities until 50 charges are back in my calculator nerfes revive enough already.
Actually, I kind of wish that engies with rev should have red/whatever diffrent color names and.or you should be able to see if theres a capable engy nearby. Seriously, its mad gay to lay and wait for 3 minutes and finally get a response along the lines of " I got vehicle cooling as my first skill, fuck you, TROLOLOL"
jeeez guys come on this is already in there are symbols over rev engi's heads.......................................arent there? i know we have symbols for dead bodies
I don't know if there are symbols over rev engies, but there should also be a little representation of how much charge the engy has. Maybe a border could move around the round icon as the charge increases. When the entire icon has the border (i.e. it's moved all the way around), the engy has enough charge to revive. Maybe it could blink when its full. Firewarrior's idea is still better.
we had a big drawn out discussion on rev's not long ago (big surprise here in the suggestions forum) - but hey, the best ones resurface.......but so do the worst ones
Revive-spam is no big deal. Herbie you said that engies wanting to revive someone doesn't care about circumstance, they just go for dead bodies and spam... well that's the exact moment for a double kill... If that engy does it with cunning way, so try to outsmart him or let him have his success, being potent at this game. More of them? Probably you have also more of you... if not, then you lost anyway so... Spamming behind a wall? There are 3 ways to overcome this (INFANTRY ONLY BITCHES), like charging the wall, indirect attack (grenades and mortar), manuvering (takes time) That's all for Emp-World Tactical Guide, today! Have a nice day!
Michael, I think herbie was thinking bout smart engineers that dont run arround carrying their calcs out allday, look at Nihia, best engi evuur, he gets to the body and instead of revving him he makes a wall infront of the body revs him and starts shooting instead of just standing their with the calc in his hand, flanking: too much time needed like you said in game as empires just to kill few rev engies, running up? smg2 in your face from behind the wall, rev engies are kinda op, but only if you know how 2 play...
michael is no noob. with the buffed weapons its way easier to kill engies. i wonder why noone came crying when there was peashooters, back then it really was overpowered (ploos and me vs a whole team in duststorm center, 20 kills each before a tank made an end to our kill-streak)
