AfterWorld::Revival-killings

have u seen how old avatars are leaving revival? how they seem to materialize few meters away from it, while moving and healing up.. ?
the thing is in fact the revival killing is not possible any more, all revivals in AW are safe zones now. but it wasn't always like that, once upon a time this was possible to kill some one on the revival. i killed Mirror once at lake revival, using Warrior - the biggest gun i was able to use - and Mirror was a very powerful avatar, high avoids, huge HP, good gun. i could pull this off only once, because i was ready but he wasn't. second time he was prepared and all i saw was a slight shimmering in the air and then his moving shape materialized behind the revival pad..

i also remember Iulian shooting 4 or 5 ppl on the lake revival, over and over again. i was standing right next to Iulian, i couldn't do anything to stop him, but i didn't leave either - i stayed and tried to teach those ppl how to escape. they said it is not possible.
then i asked Iulian to shoot me at the moment i will revive on pad, and pressed ctrl+d. i did it 3 times, 2 successful and 1 unsuccessful attempt.

the dead bodies on the revival looked at this, and said it is not possible.
they were lying there nicely side by side like sprats on the frying pan, trying to revive - one a few seconds after another, thus giving Iulian's gun just enough time to reload an shoot the next.. no coordination, no teamplay, not trying to learn what was told and demonstrated to them, nothing..

just bunch of sprats on the frying pan and lot of whining on local chat
so i left, leaving them to their fate..
