They failed to defend the point, I succeeded in assaulting it, yet unless I kill them all at the same time right next to the console, I'm nearly guaranteed to die (10 seconds to hack - 10 seconds to spawn = 0 seconds to start hacking after the kill). This issue is particularly bad with CRUs- point spawns often don't spawn you near the console, but CRUs spawn you right next to it.
Yes, I know, complex codebreakers, systems hacking skill V, and Min logi would make this a non-issue, but it shouldn't be a problem in the first place. Almost like you would want someone there with you to watch your back or make the hack faster... but that would require teamwork, and as we all know, this is "I HAS TO SOLO ERRYTING WAHWAHWAH 514"
When 99% of every team is blueberries getting crushed by the enemy team's 4 fully blinged out diamond encrusted bricks (that conveniently cost less than my basically fit Madrugar before 1.7), yes, you must solo everything. The only other option is to become a pilot of a diamond encrusted brick yourself and squad with a team of other diamond encrusted brick pilots and hope your RDV doesn't ping pong your brick while deploying the other team's, allowing their brick or a Railgun Installation 999m away to 3HKO yours before it lands.
Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn.

After you killed those guys around the objective where in the world did you think they were going to spawn? Obviously they would be selecting the nearest objective trying to till who ever was around. You. You got caught because of your bad timing, and your arrogance in thinking just because you killed a couple guys solo that they would never spawn right back in and shoot you in the back. Never solo hack an objective after killing the enemy unless you are faster than the spawn timer. Mini logi gets 5% bonus , hacking skill is a 5% bonus, plus codebreakers...
This is rather amusing. I know exactly where they will spawn, and why they will do it. Read the thread. I specifically said I DON'T DO IT ANY MORE. Specifically because of the situation I described in my last post. And heck, Sometimes a completely DIFFERENT enemy spawns in on the objective I hacked just because they see it blinking. Sometimes my hack is 100% done, and a random enemy STILL is able to spawn in.
Yes, I can take more measures to mitigate the possibility that situations like that of which I described previously will happen. And I will take those measures once I have the SP.
BUT...
To make things clear as I possibly can: I simply agree with the premise that there should be NO spawning on objectives... Because it DEVALUES uplinks, and even CRUs. It DEVALUES the use of tactics. It makes the game too forgiving.
Agree or disagree all you want with that premise.
