If you're gonna revive, you better do it quick! Seems as if there is a timer that starts when you die and after a certain point loot stops dropping. So if you want your loot, make sure you have plenty of Sparks so you don't have to rely on someone else who may not get you reved soon enough!
Not sure how long you can still have loot dropped once dead but it seems to be less than a minute at a rough guess.
So you know, don't take that opportunity to go pee or go get something that will make you want to pee.
That wasn't really a stealth patch - that was in from the beginning.
