[1239] Simple time adjustment

When your team got one flag less than the other team your respawn time is +5 sec or so.

When your team got two flag less than the other team your respawn time is +10 sec or so.

When your team got one flag more than the other team the other team's respawn time is +5 sec or so.

When your team got two flag more than the other team the other team's respawn time is +10 sec or so.



Would make games less stalemate and rushes more valuable.

 

No one wants to wait even longer to respawn, this would drain servers quick.

 

Speak for yourself, I seriously doubt you ever shared the same mindset as most people in the community.

This idea actually came up in mumble about a week ago, it wasn't related to flag capping though.
I don't think that's a bad idea at all, I think a lot of us could agree there is a stalemate issue as well.
I believe we were thinking the distance from your tent would determine how long you take to respawn.
To be honest your concept sounds easier to understand and code, 10 seconds seems like an overkill though.
I would like to hear more opinions on this, it'd be nice to see the average time for a match be lowered from such an easy update.

 

Clearly I am speaking for myself, no need to flame me for any opinion I have. Am I flaming you now for voicing your own opinion? Keep that in mind before you post next time.
And you'd be surprised, contrary to popular belief I did have quite a few people who I'd talk to and play with regularly who did happen to share my opinions on a lot of subjects. Like nerfing boulders and water arrows.

 

Yeah my bad, I should have specified when the time increases. I actually completely agree with that, stalemates would be worse if you received shorter a respawn for not pushing.
I'm quite curious about what @Skinney and @Arcrave have to say about this now. They were the ones that brought the idea up in mumble.
I'm personally quite interested, I really like the idea of seeing stalemates only when they're deserved.

 

I think that would be perfect, I don't know what would work best though.
Originally I was thinking distance, for example if you died at the middle of the map your respawn timer wouldn't get longer.
I can't help but feel like this isn't the most efficient way to do it though.
Which is why I like the flag idea but not the values he suggested.
If you work on the idea at all please share your efforts.

 

Personally I think that the best way to reduce stalemates is to make tunnels cheaper. Making an offensive base is now sooooo risky, because if you stuff up, that's 50 gold out the window, gone. Also, if a map has been going for a while, it usually means there is no longer any gold left. Meaning that no team will EVER be able to get a good offensive base or get a "tunnel cap", leading to stalemates.

 

The respawn time could be increased if you die behind your own flag.

 

I think that tunnels - both kinds of tunnels - are cancer. Fighting underground is incredibly stupid for all classes due to cramped quarters and darkness, and the ability to warp an entire team across the map in an instant is plenty powerful.

Additionally, tunnels are already a popular method of ending a stalemate. Making them cheaper will probably result in most games ending via tunneling, which is not desirable.

 

More vehicles, said it before.

 

I like verzuvius's idea on this one
But The distance from the tent sounds cool too.

The tent seems more logical but I'm happy with either or

 

imo, this means losing one flag just erases your chances of success. I would prefer maybe 6-7 seconds instead of 10, but the idea seems testable.

 

Agreeing with those who say that if you lose a flag first, you'll almost certainly lose. That is a HUGE disadvantage, and it shouldn't just be the first team to cap a flag wins by default

 

Make more maps with just one flag. Make multiple flags special, not the norm. This would reduce stalemates, especially if the flags are still hard to defend and not right next to spawn.

 

Well, I think that the all the players will learn how important it is to rush at beginning. People would be better at KAG.

 

I hate waiting for 10 or so secs re spawns. Im with Anonymuse.
