Arbitration revive tokens

On the other hand, if they were an optional pickup, most pugs would probably just ignore them all together. Render the whole thing pointless unless you play with friends/clanmates.

They should have really implemented something else for revive instead though, like say resurrection sickness (You can be revived, but receives a debuff)

It's great. Arbis were too easy. Now we have properly scaling enemies, and when someone dies you're not just down one player, the team gets debuffed, so overall double the penalty for a death. It's even more exciting in an excavation arbi where you now have to try defend 2 or 3 excavators around the map AND try to coordinate the revival.

Well, Excavations were the fastest way before, so... that evens out no?

That said, I've only played one so far. The other guy killed himself with a Larkspur by accident. The new mechanic was useful in that case at least, but I don't want to settle on an opinion about whether the new version is better than the old one, yet.

That wasn't a complaint. I find excavation arbis the most fun/interesting because they're accessible while still engaging at a different levels of player skill, and they offer choices to trade off between multiple objectives.

Ah, alright. I also definitely like Excavations better than, say, Defence.

Now this, i like. The positivity that Arbis needed, dont you love it? the adrenaline of keeping oneself alive while getting overwhelmed by enemies, while your "friends" watch you struggling to stay alive while burdened by your teamates debuff when u dont mean to pick up the debuff itself

bloods pumping, hands shaking.

I'm not going to touch the subject of "difficulty" of arbitrations and leave "elite" players to their devices.

What I'm going to say about those tokens is... they are pointless. Like really pointless.

Ok, reviving is good since we have that real weird one-shot bug that can kill you in an empty room in the middle of nowhere without any enemies present in about 2k meters radius while being under -90% damage buff (I even managed to die under Harrow's covenant immortal phase once). I'm affected by this way too often to be even considering going more than one rotation cycle, cause this is infuriating to say the least.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut there goes the kicker. Those things drop from arb drones and those just... stop spawn after a very very very short period of time. 20-30 mins in surv? Barely see one till 50 min mark. 20 def waves? I think they stopped spawning at wave 14 anyways. Excavation? Good luck seeing one after about 8-10 excavators. In other words they stop appearing exactly when you may be needing those. Sooooooooooooo what's the point?

I would very much prefer DE to removing this revive thing but fixing insta-kill bugs instead.

Tard tokens are picked up by vacuum? #*!%ing really DE? #*!%ing really?

 

Its like "lets punish other players because this one died", this mechanic is kinda ok in premades but in public this just promote griefing and toxicity. Instead of fixing host migration in the first place that cause most issue in the game they went for the easy route as usual. Hope they change this on iteration 2 if that ever happen.

Soooo I should keep away from arbis when they hit console? I already have too many encounters where players will be a $&*^ and not revive me after I've basically been the team medic, or players just leaving when they go down in an arbi triggering host migration and me being dead or close to it when the game puts me back in. This isn't going to enforce teamwork in public missions. Especially when players still leave when they go down even though they could be revived now. I think I'm just going to stay away until they iron out all the kinks.

Feel like this is a ploy to FORCE us to revive players if we wish to get rid of debuffs.

Oh, undoubtedly - it's a way to strongarm people into using the revive system. "BE KIND, REVIVE - BECAUSE WE'LL FORCE YOU TO."

One might think it was not properly thought through. Btw who thought the problem of arbitration is the lack of revives? Wasn´t that supposed the point of this game mode?

Anyway I think those tokens should be pickups like ayatan stars in order to prevent you from picking them up by accident.

it's great - now we can't even get rid players anymore without suffer for it... at least they should have made a high MR-barrier to prevent all those players that can't survive until the first rotation from joining the mission.

true, it can be nice if you run with a team of friend/clan mates and some mishap happens to one of yours, but in the 'usual' pug, it's a mighty pain in the arѕe now (unless you're playing certain frames...)

I like this. Enemy cripples you, and you have a disadvantage for the rest of the match. Maybe something like slower movement speed? That way your teammates would need to help protect you or escort you to extraction.

^this

Make us press X. I haven't tested whether or not you can get more than 5 of them at a time. Also if I get 5 then revived, and my other teammate picks up one by accident, is my teammate able to get rid of it at all?

i am the type who never revives anyone nor do i expect to get revived in return. i won't put my frame on the line for someone who downed themselves sorry. though can anyone confirm vacuum sucks in the revive points or not?

Vacuum/Fetch will suck them up. 😕

As far as I can tell if there is no one to revive at the moment, debuffs (and points ofc) are removed from everyone who didn't use theirs.
