Finally kill a wave of heavies? Well because of all their HP, by the time you brought them all down the next wave has already spawned.

Knight Solitaire Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 395	Posted - 2014.02.28 15:02:00 - [4] - Quote At least have it removed for Low-Sec battles, there is one point in the SRL facility in which it is incredibly difficult to get the hack on because whoever spawns on the point gets spawned right behind you while you're hacking the console, with their gun pointed at your back.

Well, uplinks we can destroy. A point we need to take, by making ourselves vulnerable to invisible invincible people. Oh and those people have 1500eHP and 900 DPS doom machines, so even if they weren't invisible or invincible, we still couldn't kill them fast enough before they kill the hackers.

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 6978	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:29:00 - [16] - Quote I've been saying for awhile that spawn on point shouldn't exist. You either capture a CRU nearby objectives or place uplinks nearby objectives. Basically like Domination, but in Skirmish. If you can't defend those secondary objectives then prepare to lose your primary objective. Mail me in game if interested in learning about the Amarr Empire and serving them in Faction Warfare.

Vicious Minotaur Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 698	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:35:00 - [17] - Quote The carebear spawn on point mechanic should not exist. It is like handholding, but for an entire team. Normally, I'd expand further, but the last time that happened, people "attacked" me, told me to go play CoD, to stop being "entitled" and other such babble.
Awry Barux Ametat Security Amarr Empire 1288	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:41:00 - [18] - Quote I concur entirely. It's a terrible mechanic. Domination does fine without it and it convinces even idiot blueberries to bring uplinks (sometimes). It would be a simple change to remove it from skirmish too. I usually solve this with my min logi speed-hacking the point, but that's getting taken away from me in 1.8, so I don't know what I'll do after that.

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 6983	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:59:00 - [21] - Quote And even if CCP wishes to keep this feature, which they shouldn't, they should at least reconsider where spawn-on-point actually spawns you. In some cases like the hack terminal on the high platform on the Gallente Research Facility it literally spawns you within reaching distance of the hack terminal and facing it. That is way too damn close. Mail me in game if interested in learning about the Amarr Empire and serving them in Faction Warfare. Amarr Victor!

Same thing happens when hacking objectives - get the hack off - 1...2...3... someone spawns - me - OMFGWTFBBQ. Now when I attempt to spawn on a link that has been destroyed...nope can't spawn there, uplink lost. This game is seriously gonna cause me to have a stroke one day.

It's actually because you are invisible for about 3 seconds after you spawn. So you through a flux grenade, someone spawns in, flux grenade goes off and destroys uplink, and three seconds later the guy who spawned before the uplink was destroyed becomes visible. You can do this too. When you spawn in simply don't move (well you can spin in place, but that's it). No one will be able to see you.

Now when I attempt to spawn on a link that has been destroyed...nope can't spawn there, uplink lost. This game is seriously gonna cause me to have a stroke one day. This happens sometimes due to a lag in the spawn. I have spawned in on an uplink 3..2..1..0..0..0..0..0..0GÇª0 okay now I am spawned I agree that this needs to be fixed As well as what Cat Merc is describing. Personally I will often chose the uplink option over the Objective as a spawn point (most often my own because I know it's not in a ridiculous place) When taking a point you can go through a lot of resources just to take a point, only to have your enemies return fresh and full. I have a pretty high hack speed, but this only mitigates the problem if you can kill all the defenders in rapid succession. My only concern with the full removal of the spawn on point mechanic would be turning every point into the hundred metre radius of a Dom match. Uplink spam would likely be the outcome of this change, though some may not view this as bad. I prefer to be able to clearly identify the uplink that I want to spawn on and maintain some semblance of reasonable frame rate. What would people think of an increased spawn time on Objectives? Say 20 seconds, would that be reasonable, or would the potential uplink spam be considered a reasonable result of eliminating Objective spawns? KRRROOOOOOM

Actually a few days ago I was playing a match and I actually stumbled upon someone moving out of his spawn point but for a split second he was still cloaked, however not completely invisible. You could see his body outline along the visual distortion. Man I wish I could of recorded that, it was very weird. That's my guess for what it's going to be.

Skihids Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 2931	Posted - 2014.02.28 17:26:00 - [29] - Quote Spawn on objective is a game crippling mechanic. What the hell are CRUs supposed to be for when you can simply teleport sans uplink? Why bother with uplinks when you own the point? It removes what little strategy there is in the game and reduces it to a simple question of your DPS vs. my DPS. It's like CCP wants DUST to be as brain dead easy to play as possible. No strategy or tactics required.

Oswald Rehnquist 1261	Posted - 2014.02.28 19:26:00 - [37] - Quote I'm not going to argue whether it does or doesn't need changing but as someone whose main role is hacking, hacking mods and alpha weapons allows you to hack without retaliation. If your having issues hacking, then I'd wager you don't have a hacking suit, which is the whole point of having a hacking suit? Also watching the kill feed before a hack to look for massive deaths helps in reducing spawn ins. Below 28 dB

I drive an LAV up beside anything im hacking most of the time since im a big fat heavy, but with lvl 5 hacking speed and enough shield and armor to survive most any attack for a few seconds, im usually always able to get the hack in and speed off in my LAV without much damage. Rarely do I get killed hacking anything but the objective. But I'm a heavy, so who knows how it is for the rest of you. Its extremely viable as a scout as well Below 28 dB

I approve of on point spawning :) CEO > The Phoenix Federation > We da BUSSS!! We takin over!
