other than the 'support' thing, I think we already knew about the 'T' thing... or at least I know I did...

Maybe they changed something about the T thing, but didn't know how to word it?

Nope, now it actually restarts the countdown if you do the t-y thing. Sort of a "just so you see that we really don't give a shit what you think" thing, ya know.

So those who used to click T 0.1 sec right after being killed will be pissed.

So if someone had a macro that clicked T and Y , they could stay there indefinately?

No, they just press T when the dialog pops up and it cancels the process full stop (or period as the yanks prefer )

They can then remain there as a rotting corpse.

This information does not solve the problem that the time to revive is blatantly and annoyingly too long.

I guess I didnt read the original post well enough , posted by Bertha Bot.

Version Update 9.2.4 permalink

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version Update 9.2.4
5 March 2008

Changes to death sequence: The 'Do you want to revive?' question has been removed. Instead a ten second countdown timer is automatically initiated. The ghost will automatically be moved to a revival terminal when the countdown finishes. The participant can manually choose to abort the countdown and then the ghost will remain in place for as long the participant chooses. NOTE: If the ghost is within a land grab area the countdown is 300 seconds (5 minutes) and the participant cannot manually abort the countdown sequence.
The land grab grace period (the time the defending team can wait with no presence until the claim becomes neutral) has been reduced from 30 seconds to 10 seconds.
During a land grab battle, the safe zone surrounding the fertilizer station is deactivated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was more wondering if the 5 minute rule could be sidestepped , but reading further I see you cannot mannually abort the countdown in a Landgrab area.
