Title: spawn jumping
Post by: valdals on June 09, 2008, 07:37:12 AM
i was killed 5 times by an invisible attacker sunday. i upped in a f6f to bomb him. i found him and noticed he would fire his guns from a location then spawn again in another location to keep from getting killed. he did this several times. so i acted as a spotter and straffed him. he started getting his butt kicked after coordination from the air.

Okay...I don't see the point of discussion. Just a daily rant or are we supposed to care about part of it?

Maybe it's the tower-before-bomb tactic. I use it all the time and you can argue that bringing huge bombs to a GV fight is just as gamey.

I was attacking a field in a fighter and there was a friendly in a gv also attacking said field.

I was rtb to a VBase to land, the other friendly in the gv apparently died and then upped the vbase to help me with the three I was draging.

ONE of those three was Valdals.  After dying to a whirble he started whining to the guy calling them a "Base Jumping Dweeb" on 200. 

(It appears he's changed it to spawn jumping)

Didn't understand it then.

Still don't understand it after this thread.

base jumping is jumping from base to base just to obtain a kill and no real defense. spawn jumping is jumping to different locations within a spawn point to mask there location to get a kill or to avoid being killed.

the day i got mad. any location i attacked was defended by the same guy. it was as if he knew where i was or he was jumping to any base that was flashing.

he was jumping to any base that was flashing.

As opposed to sitting at bases that arent being attacked and watching the local sheep graze?

How extraordinary lame of that guy to actually defend his bases! How could he dare to interfere with your attacks?

And what's the alternative here? Stand by (while an attack is underway as indicated by the flashing?) and watch it be taken, in case it may the same attacker that was just at that last place?  That doesn't sound reasonable.

As for spawn jumping... that would mean that you had it capped? or camped? And was picking the camp as they were spawning in?  Sounds like an effective tactic for him to up, shoot, tower, spawn in (different spot) so the campers & pickers have to actually search for your location for a few seconds before the deaths.  It's actually too much of a hassle for me to do ~ I'd just stay put until killed, then come back. 

Sorry, no sympathy back pat from this direction.

base jumping is jumping from base to base just to obtain a kill and no real defense. spawn jumping is jumping to different locations within a spawn point to mask there location to get a kill or to avoid being killed.

OK so just how does one jump to different locations at a spawn point?  I have only been able to spawn at one specific point from the HQ.  Now just where at that spawn point I end up is is random and has been for ages but I have never been able to select a point within the spawn point to spawn.  You telling us that somebody was able to select a specific place within a spawn point area at his/her command?  Lucy... you got some splaining to do.  You better be able to back it up with film and if you do have film of somebody pinpointing where they will end up at a spawn point you would have to either be doing it yourself or have somebody that does it give you the film.  In either event, it should be sent to HTC and not whined about in here.

All the Best...

base jumping is jumping from base to base just to obtain a kill and no real defense.

base jumping to kill the "attackers" ... is defense ... what your really saying is that you don't like someone being able to figure out your weak attack logic and kill you.

spawn jumping is jumping to different locations within a spawn point to mask there location to get a kill or to avoid being killed.

WOW ... You finally have something right.

Valdals. I know who you are. You're the guy who gets a hissyfit on vox when he dies. You need to relax and stop screaming on vox or else people will just squelch you. So what, sometimes this game is unfair.. you talk about "the day I got mad". From what I've seen that seems to be everyday, please don't clog vox cause of it...

you go on my top 2 of vox wah wah with ltown.

If this person was spawning in, shooting, then landing to respawn again then he's the idiot. If the spawn was camped then the nearest camper to him would get the proxy kill everytime he landed. therefore that strategy would be pointless if he was doing it to avoid getting killed..

I think he's talking about the guy spawning from the hangar (on concrete) killing him, towering and going to the next base Valdals attacked. This is my favorite way to kill pathetic milkrunners.

You can choose where you materialize at a spawn point?     :eek:

How do I do this?  I want to spawn behind DR7 every time.        :rock

Vonmessa if you click on the spawn button in a different place you move in a different area of the spawn. I think there is nothing wrong with this spawn jumping seein that people spawn camp all the time. Ill never popup in the same spot twice wait maybe its me he is talkin about :rofl Valdals were you killin this person at the spawn btw ?

That guy's on a slippery downhill slope to madness. He should seek help. Well, actually it's more fun to just watch him pop another vein. It's fun to watch people be jacka***s and perish. I can't help it, it's human nature.

when you spawn, tower, and respawn you never come back in the same location twice; its usuall random. we were not spawn camping were were moving from a v-ase that was close to another v-base with a spawn in between. but spawning to conceal you location after firing at you is cheating in my book. stay and fight it out.

he was not on a base. he was at a shared spawn point. i could not determine what he was doing until i flew over the spawn point.

If this person were towering immeidately after he shot, then you would have gotten the kill.  One cannot tower in a field with NME near and not give up the proxy kill.  If I had to make an assumption, this person was not doing anything of the sort for which you have accused.  OR, you were not getting the kills becuase someone else was closer and are now throwing a hissy. 

Frankly, you sound like you are 8 years old and have to scream and call him a "cheater" becuase Mommy won't let you use profanity yet.   :lol

the day i got mad. any location i attacked was defended by the same guy. it was as if he knew where i was or he was jumping to any base that was flashing.

Play the game as you please, but isn't it more fun to have some one to fight at these bases your attacking? many GVers will jump from base to base to defend, one person can ruin many attacks on undefended bases, some GVers defend bases 90% of the time with very little or any help, they get very good at it and have fun doing it. Thats what they enjoy about the game just like you enjoy attacking, they defend.
