Like Hollows said, in my case it is a particular challenge when I refuse to use any Sparks of Life in my arsenal, even if I do not have hundreds. I will, however, be quick to use some for a fallen comrade who has revived themselves enough times.

Because back in the old days, it costed energy to travel the clockworks, but you can rely on friends to revive you. Now it's just free travel.

If you plan on going to more than one, no you didn't.

It's just the typical RPG hoard. "hmm... I have 99 potion, but better not use them now, I might need them later."

I do too, but for right now, I'm going to get the guns needed to craft the new guns when they're implemented.

There are ppl that don't use the chat and just expect you to rev them. After a while of not reving them they will either give up and rev themselves or go solo. I have beggers on my friends list so yeah. In my opinion people should be honest with each other but hey this is a Massively multiplayer online (MMO) game. Mcchineseninja knows I have little to no sparks and am saving up (currently have 5 as of posting this). So what I would do in a random party is I would tell the party how many sparks I have. If I do die after using my last rev I just leave.

I actually find a lot of parties where everyone is using as many sparks as humanly possible. I'm not kidding, I have seen people charge into spikes and stand on them until they die. Almost immediately they revive and continue on to the next trap!

When I do find a smart individual who realizes the values of the sparks, they tend to sit around and wait until who ever is still standing finishes up the level or someone revives him/her. At these points I like to pitch in and give players a bit of help. For 1,000 crowns that is. With both randoms and friends alike I will sell them a revive. It's amazing how much money I can make off of it too!

So for me a bunch of people just waiting for free revives can benefit me more than harm.

i revive myself immediately

close the game when somebody clearly asks me to revive him/her(cept for oldschool players i recognize of course)

pretend as if nobody said something, when dead guy begs no particular person or whole party to rev them

and revive somebody lying around dead for about a minute without saying a word..they usually say thx after their period of silence

• only person i know of, who didnt revive while having more than enough sparks was an irl friend, who said he was saving for special occasions
• some people just like to collect things
• and a few old players are probably still prone to lying dead, because that was the way to go with the old energy system
  i remember a drunkard posting how he had spent lots of money on energy revives, because he was drunk
  it was quite a big issue and we had adapted to be very careful not to waste any sort of money be it ingame money or real life money

  i still do hesitate 1-2 seconds before pushing the revive button because of the giant loss, that came with energy reviving in classic SK..
  it would literally destroy the entire game, not to mention, that u could just lie around and still get item pickups from ur living teammates, because loot was shared

  at that time, the people, who revived themselves and others immediately were responsible for increasing reviving costs to very high numbers
  i completely forgot how valuable health sharing was at that time..it was the 1 unfair difference between ppl with good friends/guilds and soloers, because every revive would increase its energy cost, while health sharing was completely free

  the main principle was..reviving decreases profit, more reviving leads to loss of money, which means something like this in the bigger picture, u start with 10k crowns and finish an hour later with 6k crowns(and i have been in parties, where they reached the maximumg reviving cost of 1000 energy, it was even painful just to see them spend that kind of money)

fun fact as a beginner u did not care about any of that and just spam revive button until u couldnt revive anymore and started understanding, what it would cost: cannot play the game, because u have to wait a few hours just for 10 mist energy to recharge, so u could pay the elevator fee

PS these forums could use an update too

"rare and valuable"?

I wouldn't be using the word "rare" so loosely, my friend. However No-Thanks also has a point

Despite my metric buttton of SoLs, I would of course use them for myself if solo (You can get like 7-8+ just from elite FSC), If it's a party, I'd wait for someone to use their spark if they die. Then after like 2 minutes I'll snap and revive them myself. I'm not the one to lie dead and wait for revs (except the old system).

However if it's someone I'm familiar with (guildmate, close friend), of course I'm gonna use mine immediately.

Lol that's how I feel after dying twice in a elite FSC run XD. FIRE VIALS ARE EVIL D: (Screenshot for that statement coming ASAP)
