(PSN)SCRATCH__043 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Great update, except for the respawn option when you are downed. I preferred it to be there when the downtime timer ends... Now I keep hitting that reload/respawn button and it costs me points. It's just annoying because when I'm downed I use my pistol to shoot and I automatically try to reload every few shots, even if you can't reload when downed by pressing the button. I would prefer the old way over this. Or change the button to L3 + R3 together. Edited September 18, 2017 by (PS4)SCRATCH__043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 didn't know about this change. so you can now respawn whilst downed by pressing Square? well the easiest answer to this is don't reload while downed, just expend your ammo: if you die you'll get it all back anyway so you might as well, and you might take more enemies down with you.

(PSN)ExcessiveSteeze Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 In a way i like how you can choose to revive because when an oberon comes in and trolls with over 1 whole hour of down time then you might as well quit. But who uses crap oberon EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan336 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The respawn mechanic wont be going away. It sounds like it really needs a button change though. We on PC can re-load while downed. Why shouldn't you be able to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd rather the two buttons be separate (i.e. move insta-bleedout to L3 or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer the old way over this. Learn how to configure your controller. What you want is to turn off the setting "Context action includes reload". Then map context action to a button and reload to a different button. The whole respawn thing is a context action. As is using life support in survival and giving the sortie defense or rescue target a weapon. All of which get confused with reloading when you have those combined onto one button. This bad and should be a mandatory change for using a controller. The default being combined is dumb but it is so its on you to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterTheNight Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) I agree, this actually happened to me (on ps4 of course). was down. tried to reload and respawned instead. It really shouldn't be square, it should be X. This should go in the ps4 feedback section though, DE won't see it here.

Would appreciate it if someone could forward this post to that section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you have to tap the button to reload, for revive you have to press it for 1-2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
