Should there be a limit to the number of times you can get revived?

I'm against having some arbitrary limit on revive but some tweaks have been suggested before that I really liked.

One was to reset your calc charge if you get revived so you can't instantly revive others and the other was to have reduced health when you get revived. Both would make revive more fair and they would also be good nerfs to undead deathball squads.

 

the limit is the calculator juice

thats fair but i don't even think its that much of a problem. even when there is a talented squad reviving each other it still possible to beat them. people should know to aim for the engineers first before the riflemen/grens

 

If you ask me, you shouldn't be able to just "1-click boom revived", you either have to charge your calculator (like they do with paddles in BF4) or hold on target to get him revived. As I said before, this used to be a battlefield mod, and battlefield has fixed that "problem" by having to charge paddles to revive people at full health and implementing a limit to how many times you can get revived.
Since we got games going on after the tickets are depleted I don't think implementing the second part (revive limit) would be a good idea for us.
That being said the whole concept of tickets in a game that's half RTS without any tie to the resources is disturbing, and I'm not sure it has its place.

 

I had this kinda problem where about 5 guys kept reviving each other at stupid rates, although teamwork is quite a drastic part of the game it might be better to instead of limiting the amount of times some can be revived, create a grace period to revival so if the die then someone regenerate them, then after... 10 - 25 seconds, they can be revived.

 

I used to really like trench warfare tbh. There were many epic battles that were pretty amazing with that...and victory or defeat did not come easily.

I don't think there should be a limit to revive. That being said there are some problems with it. Mainly that there are two people you can revive in an instant on full charge, and they are revived at full health. The latter in particular I think is an oversight. Of course, these are both good things when you're facing splash-damage tanks or mortars, or arty's even, but for stopping rushes they can be a pain. I think probably if someone was revived with 50% health, people would turn to healing more often than revive, since there'd have to be healing involved regardless.

HOWEVER, the main reason revive is easier is because the dumbass is dead and can no longer move while you revive. The problem with healing is you have to run around like an ejat, trying to follow someone to heal them. Often not being in cover while doing so. If this particular problem was addressed I think you'd see a great deal more healing. I mean if you could just throw a medikit or the like at someone's face and they'd heal up over the next 10 seconds, you'd see more heal spam than you could believe.

To be honest, it'd also be a damn fun thing to play with.

Though no healing grenades please. They're just...dumb, lol.

 

When revived, you should't have full health and that is the reason why it makes healing pointless thus when revived, health should be half rather than full also reviving should have some charge time or simply "heal" the body for a couple/few seconds...

 

Are you responding to my post or someone elses?

If mine, then you didn't read thus please read again... I said that when revived you should have half health, not drain half of calculator for revive.

 

It wouldn't be that hard to implement, just give everyone a calculator with different options, engineer can have turrets/walls and repair/healing upg and revive (they're the only one who can heal with calc), grenadier can have vehicle repair upg, scouts can have camera/radar and sensor upg and sabotage with the tool, riflemen can have ammo drop and maybe get a second ammo crate at 40 points.

I really don't see any of this as hard to implement and it would give everyone a decent building ability. Not to mention it would make engineer a bit less all-powerful.

 

Make revived people start at 10% health and then give them a 90hp regeneration over time? Say 20-30 seconds.
Solves the issue of revived people being at full health and doesn't create an annoying gameplay mechanic where you have to heal after reviving or corpses randomly dissapearing or "OMFG NOOB Y u revive me now and not when the area is clear!?"

 

nobody is going to want to revive people during a battle because they will die again. nobody is going to get revive as a result. it will be as useful as speed upgrade (third tier skill)

 

only for grens (and by third tier i meant you get it third. revive should be a 1st tier skill, like repair)

 

Revive is fine. I guess the only thing it could really do with is its own animation, maybe ti should take half a second rather than being totally immediate. Also a tiny bit more reach might not be bad, its kind of awkward now. I mean like just an extra 15% range or so.
