Respawn Times

[H0ly-H@nd-Gr3nade]

Anyone else think the instant respawn is a little annoying?

In the time that I was playing this afternoon, the offensive team didn't win a single round. I think that the instant respawn gives the defensive team too much of an advantage because they don't have to walk too far. Several people in the server were complaining.. I know that Naillik mentioned something about it.

Would it be possible to change it to 5-6 seconds?

I posted that I thought 5 seconds was the best fair time for both teams. Its something where we toy with it and make it the fairest for all involved. Hang in there and lets see what Cain can do to help us out.

It is currently 6 seconds, I'll change it to 8 seconds, default is 10 seconds.

Really?
It feels like instant..

Does the "You've been killed by" part count as part of the countdown?
I think that it shows you the screenshot of your killer, and then you immediately respawn.

HHG, do yourself a favor and don't die so often .. I think thats most of your problem.

i kinda use to the normal respawn thing. the insta respawn can be bad on defensive maps (like dustbowl and goldrush) as blu has the disadvantage to push up.

[RuThLeSsKiLLa]

hmm the the respawn still its instant, i dont see any counting when i die i just respawn right back up. maybe setting it up to 10sec. it could be a bother for the attacking team when playing defensive map as i wrote above. as it could tend to piss people off in those maps. look into this please.

I set it to 8 secs, it was 6 secs, and the default is 10 secs...

Let's try that today.....

Yes it does count towards that timer. So 3-4 seconds of "killed by" and then just a second or two and you're back. A lot of people don't EVER want to wait to spawn, but you've got to strike a balance somewhere.

faster spawn, more action. I love it!!!

[Cain]

I'll try 10 secs in the morning, it is 8 tonight...

OK, it is 10 now ..

[SUB_ZERO]

Ok, i didn't find it a problem when i was playing. But that doesn't matter, as long as you guys are comfortable, i think i will be too :D

[DougBob]

LoL, Cain, what ever you want it set to is fine with me!

[Cain]

It sounds like 10 second respawns was good, correct ????

[H0ly-H@nd-Gr3nade]

It is all good with me!
I have seen the offensive team win a lot more now!

Thanks!

thats 10 seconds respawn for the defenders, right?

beacause with most servers its an instant/3-4 second respawn for the attackers and a 10-15 second respawn for defenders.

[Cain]

I assume the way it works in for each map one side has their respawn times determined separately. Some respawns can take 10-15 seconds or more. Currently our max respawn time is 10 seconds regardless of what the map tries to dictate.
