Noo dont do this, part of the fun is looking for the player... the race against time... and then just find them with 10 seconds left. So much more fun!

I wouldn't recommend a flashing colour for those with very low health, some people solo level this way and don't really need constant (albeit well wishers) running over to see if they are ok. I've always had no problem finding dead people to rez, just zoom out the compass and find the yellow spot. Herbi's are usually in clumps of yellow and homins on their own after trying to run a ways
Kodel.

ignore this - was just a bit annoyed at the current map/radar bug

Definitely take a look at the color customizations you can do. And when you find a combo you like, make sure you copy your save folder so you can get it back....
As for finding the down homin, I like the old fashioned "tell me where you are" game. Like we did at the exc beng spot outside Yrk the other day...

But then you get "i'm next to the water" when your in oasis... *grins* "where near the water?" "next to the bandits" (this goes on for a while) .. however with the new remote-invites this is hardly a problem anymore

when i get one of these players i just spam an invite (or ask for one)

Was just in the other thread reminiscing, and remembered the old times. When someone would call for a rez in region, and it would be a race to see who could get there and help them first.
When the RP Samsara guild were the most evil thing in Atys.. because they would ask to be PAID for a rez
Like so much else, kids these days just dont have a clue. They ask for a rez without being able to give directions, and lack of ingame ability combined with the easy availability of good gear means they get in over their heads very easily.
Still, thinking about it, when I was lowbie, I used to get DP and work it off every time I played, so dieing isnt something new and restricted to recent joiners
I dont think the radar needs messing with for this. Set your inscene display to show friends HP, and you can see peoples health when you are within 20 ? m, Check out blue dots on your radar, if they are low, chuck them a heal, if they turn yellow before you get there, chuck them several heals
