Camping
« on: June 01, 2011, 08:31:39 PM »
OK I have seen it in play and read it on boards here, how camping is bad. Camping is not bad in any form it is part of the game play in real paintball as well as here. Camping makes it harder for some players while some it makes it more fun and easier (newbies learn tricks and enjoy more not getting blown away every 10 seconds then waiting 60 seconds to play again).

If anyone should complain about camping it should be when for example: red team has 2 players camping on blue teams base so when they refresh they get tagged immediately. On a 6 second refresh or 60 second refresh this seems tacky play.

My request is, when a player does finally refresh he or she has a 5 second invincible mode so they can not get tagged out without knowing where it came from. Dropping back on a map after the timeout is random and you never really know where you come out so the invincible mode for 5 seconds gives you a heads up to whats going on and can save your butt. Otherwise if you are defending your base as a camper and your team wins the match then that is called teamwork and good play.

Please learn when to insert line breaks. It makes things a lot easier to read, as forums (at least ours) aren't meant for essays. For one thing, your actual request was lost among everything else that you say; I almost didn't catch it.

refresh
Just so you know, the term is "respawn", and the action of eliminating a newly respawned player is called spawnkilling. A related term is spawncamping (when a player camps the spawn points).

Now, to address your request: this has already been suggested here: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=13002.0

Camping can get annoying, but it's part of the game.

True. The people who get annoyed the most are probably the ones who rush in and don't check around for campers. ;)

it would be nice for speed servers where are many many spawner.

This game isn't designed for speed servers.  I rather wish there was never a setting to change the respawn time...

I like 30 sec respawn for Pubs; just makes it so you can play quicker ;)

even if you had different spawns, that might give one an advantage of killing or getting killed.
