30 second imunity after GV spawn.
« on: January 24, 2015, 10:05:31 AM »
   I find It very poor sportsmanship and dishonorable to spawn camp....I think It's bad for the game and discourages the neophyte from continuing to participate... a 30 second   period of time would be a good idea to be able to  disperse would be a good idea....

They would still be able to watch you for the period of time that you are immune to all attacks and still be able to fire at 31 seconds.

In the update they are making the spawning arena larger to make it harder for spawn camping.
If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.

Maybe he wants the 30 seconds to set him invisible while he gets setup. But, who would risk asking for that in our community in this forum. Hitech knows very well the vulchers would all track him until second 31. So the only logical solution for the poor beleaguered spawner, invisibility for 30 seconds. That would be just enough time to get setup point blank behind one of the spawn campers.

I can see the whines in here of cable pulling after that. No matter how many time Hitech tells them he gave spawners a 30 second invisibility grace period to get setup.

I can understand the anger for the first spawn into a camped area not knowing it was camped. At iteration 13 by the same player............

i agree spawn camping is just lame gameplay.. 

actually, we already have means to deal with spawn campers, they're called bombs, or AP guns from planes. etc. etc.

gv's are targets for planes.

There is always the option to not re-up into a spawn if it is camped...

gv'ers live on camping. all they do is want to camp each other, thats why the most popular gv spots are where two spawns meet.

With the detail they are putting into the ground side of the game I certainly hope they are going to tweak the game play some what to discourage the spawn camping, other wize whats the point of detail like this?

We call it spawn camping, but really its nothing more than an old fashion ambush. It is done in real life, why not in the game, all things being equal of course.  :old:

 Well let's rephrase it. Don't up into an ambush.

Would it be considered a "Surprise Attack" if you up at a camped spawn?

Only that it works like twice before the people who were shooting at each other out of boredom waiting realize there is a enemy tank?

There is a fine line between camping and ground fur-balling depending on what end of the stick your on,
The guys with the best cover and most numbers win most spawn battles,
immediate action is also a big plus for spawns that are close together, it's much worse to drive for 5 minutes then get picked off and sent back to the tower by someone you never see!
I've gotten beat up on both sides of the fight at almost every spawn fight in the game
I'd like to see a new map with the best fighting locations of all the old maps rolled together in one new map.

Spawn camping will never go away.

In reverse to camping spawns, I've always wondered why the spawn random area was not brachiated. And then the spawner given a sub choice of which branch of the main point to drop in, then be randomly placed in a 500-1000yd area from that. Sure, 30 minutes after it was introduced to each map, Lusche would have his custom updated maps of each field's enemy spawn in sub branch. But, the defenders would be strung out across a larger area. And spawners, could send in sacrifices to one branch repeatedly, then mass in on another branch in force. Knowing our game, the mass spawn in would all dig in behind a tree, then never move in fear of getting killed, waiting for someone to let them spawn camp him for showing up to check the area.

I suppose some enterprising individual would have a second account to feed back real time VOX and text about which branch the real assault force was choosing. And we would never get rid of spawn camping because of another form of sissyness no matter what Hitech eventually gave us to change that part of our gamey simulation.
