Title: GV Spawn Locations
Post by: DLXIRON on October 19, 2017, 04:34:20 PM

As much as I am guilty of camping spawn points I think it would benefit game play if we did not see the giant yellow arrows pointing to where your enemy is going to appear.
Is there anyway to get rid of being able to see the enemy spawn sites or at least not have an arrow pointing out the 100' radius?

Also if we are not allowed to pick the direction we are facing when we spawn in a vehicle hanger could we at least have the back door closed to prevent being shot in the bellybutton the moment you spawn?  I have done that to so many times to people and while it is entertaining the first few times it does take away from the game play for even me quickly. 

Thanks

While I'm not a map maker, I understand that the "Spawn Area" covers a fairly large area of the map, so gv's should not spawn into the exact same location every time.

Radius is 1500ft or 1\2 mile diameter. You spawn into that circle randomly. And yes you can get rid of them by right clicking on your map and un-selecting vehicle spawns. This gets asked for from time to time and if I remember it is never granted.

need the spawn arrows to show which way gv spawned--did you know that most of the new players in gv mode don't know about the arrows, or if they do see them they don't know what they are for.
and on most of the new players clipboards the arrows are turned off.

If that is the case, the default map setting for new players should definitely be vehicle spawn arrows turned on.  Things like field alt, not so much.

My two cents.

If you REEEEAAALLLY want to stop vehicle spawn camping, how about making V Base Hangar spawns random????  As is you ALWAYS spawn out of hangar 0.  Could be a pile of ruble, doesn't matter, that's where you spawn.

Same goes to FH and BH spawns at airfields.

The map makers could place some short spawns just off the base.
