The revive system is totally pointless, strikes are way to easy when you die all you have to do is wait about 30 seconds to respawn, there is not enough incentive to revive people you are better off just hidding and wait the 30 secs, personally I would prefer it if when you died you Had to be revived to respawn or at lest make the spawn time alot longer like 5 mins, it will make the completion of strikes a lot more satisfying, using team play rather than everyone dieing and respawning very quickly with no consequences, same as public events the respawn time is like 5 secs and you spawn right next to where you need to be, I have never failed one of these even when it was 2 of us and the other guy wasnt at lvl cap, way to easy, it should be if your in the immediate area of the event it should say in event area and you are part of it so if you die there the respawn should be alot longer and if self spawn you should spawn miles away with the chance of missing the completion so no loot, but they need to be harder and not so frequent as to promote reviving and participation, as the event with the devil walker was roughly every 15 mins if there was more people than just you around, I did it 3 times for a bounty to get gold tier in just over 45 min of being in the same area waiting for it.... so what im trying to say is at the moment people may feel like not reviving as the dead will be back in 30secs no matter what so why bother, by forcing people to revive to stop a wipe makes the whole experience worth while, if im raiding I want to play as a team to earn my loot, if we wipe all the time then ill find a new group, if we complete it fast with little problems ill add them as friends and progress through tougher ones with them, I havent added anyone yet cause its so easy I havent felt like I need to team up again i can make do with random pugs which takes away from the social aspect that this game has been branded with by bungie, as it is at the moment its very hard to wipe so every tom dick and Harry will complete the raids/strikes, and get the loot, so its not that special if anyone can get it easily, it takes the satification out of it when I have some gear that others shouldnt be able to get at the moment because they havent spent time learning how to over come a raid by trial and error, just complete it first time with like 20 deaths but not a single wipe/restart Maybe add a debuff so if someone self spawns all of you lose 25% hp for 1 min, if another person self spawns in that time add another 25% hp debuff and restart 1 min counter, but if you revive, add the 25% back but keep timer running as a penalty much higher chance to wipe, But I still think no respawn unless revived, do not add rewards for reviving otherwise pve will be exploited, ie boosters, guy dies 100 times, mate revives 100 times and gets rewards, then they switch roles Just to note if its been misread, I do revive if ive got a half decent chance to, even with this 30 sec respawn, I like to play as a team and feel thats how these games should be played, but as it stands I feel the act of risking the revive is pointless One more thing kind of related, when we do strikes please can we start inside the instance not miles away, so meny times on the devils lare when we start I go for the strike right away but the other 2 fight the endless mobs on route, I solo to the devil walker before another player turns up, we then complete strike without the 3rd guy ever showing his face, dont really want to play solo thats not the point and with what i said about respawning would be alot harder if not impossible, but waiting around for people messing about is tedious but dont want to keep finding a new pug group every time someone is to slow.
