Unbombable ring around spawns
« on: January 24, 2016, 08:37:53 PM »
I think a large area around spawns where bombs don't work would be fantastic. There are those of us that just want to duke it out in tanks but the skillless dweebs looking for easy free kills show up everytime and start bombing. This would be an easy fix to a long ongoing problem.

And introduce a MAJOR new exploitable one.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

A big no on this one.  I suspect the OP is a big spawn camper that enjoys getting easy kills.  Once in a while you have to bomb out spawn campers so you can spawn in.

I enjoy tank wars but hate not even getting to spawn in to the area  and not even getting to get your turret turned to the spawn'er.

Mater of fact I need to add a new wish.

Nothing worse than trying to take a base but your countries GV'ers will not not leave their spawn camp to help out.

Pro Tip (I heard from Dr7): "NEVER attack a field in gv's when ords are up." :)

Not to say I haven't camped a spawn before but 99% of the time I'm blasting around at full speed in an M18. Two uncamped spawns right next to each other are 100x more fun than a camp anyways. But where there's a tank fight, there are skill dweebs dropping bombs for free kills and ruining the fight until the tanks finally just stop upping. I've been back a month and haven't been in a GV fight yet that hasn't been ruined by dweebs with bombs even if it was all out at the spawn and zero threat to take the base.

I am a spawn camper, I love to hide and shoot unsuspecting invaders. Help me oh great HTC for I have sinned. For penitence I'll bomb 2 spawns, and kill 6 gv's. :(

Can I get an un-gangable sphere around my plane?

I want a big force field protected from the saddle of a large quadruped like the one Jar Jar's people had in the Phantom Menace.
