Fast respawn suggestion

[extracrispy 5]

Hello, I'm new to your forum but definitely not new to your servers. 

 

Going to keep this short and to the point. On the fast respawn servers, blue and red spawn timers are the exact same. It makes it impossible to capture the last point. The problem with this is evident as blue has a distance to travel where as red spawns at the fight. Would you guys consider adding a short time to red respawn timers? Please seriously consider this.

If this is possible I'd like to see it.

Maybe a silly suggestion, but engineers can build tele close to the last cap point? Not sure if you have tried that before? Couple of sentries, build an engie nest >>

 

But honestly, it's the first I've heard of it so far.

@BigBadWoulf - Come now, there must have been a time when you had to rely on teamwork instead of your godlike TF2 powers. Remember those days when you couldn't just breeze in and waste half their team?

You are right. While not impossible it does give a significant advantage to the defending team.

Some people like to just frag all day so they love the fast respawn.

Doesn't sound like your cup of tea so I'd suggest you play on our non fast respawn servers

That advantage is part of the game with slower respawn times for defenders tbh. Without this diffrence it's way harder to win as attackers.

Maybe implement a 2 second respawn for red, and instant for Blu? The servers say "Fast Respawn" not "Instant Respawn" so....

Exactly, and this is why spawn camping is legit...until you get the intel out.

Isn't that what I said? xD

I think I missunderstood your post. Nvm

i'm one who likes to frag all day, but i dont want to spend most of the round time on the last point because of the huge defenders advantage. All i'm asking for is a small time added.. the default time on last respawn is like 18-20 seconds. if you make it say 5-8 seconds thats still incredibly fast.

 

Also i pretty much only pub badwater, and i like the fast respawn, its just the last point thats frustrating. (not to mention its pretty much the only lotus badwater thats fairly consistently populated.)

think about the distance the engineer has to travel to build everything and the amount of time that takes. thats probably 2 minutes in an 8 minute last. also say 2 people are engineer. you lose a 1/6 of your pushing power since they sit and build and protect their stuff. and thats if theyre able to keep it alive versus spies, ubers, spam and other things. then you factor in the people who really have no idea whats going on and thats another say (if youre lucky) 1/6 of your pushing power.

 

most people that play in the fast respawn servers dont post here. and most people that are experienced enough to know that red on the server has every meta advantage, will find another server.

 

i'm putting out this suggestion because i care and want to improve the experience for everyone. As of right now, its just frustrating to push last because for blue you do not have a single advantage. unless you get lucky in the server and have not only a medic, but 2 of them, and that theyre healing someone who knows how to use an uber or kritz. and lets be real, that is very rare.

I'll have to think about this more. I don't want to go against valve's quickplay rules. Even though this is a small change I don't want our servers getting banned over something silly.

Adding the "respawn" tag will show to quickplay that the server has modified spawns. The SourceMod plugin I found that altered spawns I believe auto-changes the tags to include it.

gonna bump this because i believe it should be implemented.
