We tried to fix ambush spawn mechanics, which were random, more like BF/COD, just spawn away in the distance, but then the blob was invincible. The current mechanic tries to put you close to the hub of your teammates, but if they are being massacred, it's not good either. Then we get into "if X deaths in area, then not spawn close to friends, just in outer rims", and that isn't easy either. Any super smart ideas? For 50 man ambush redlines much smaller and divide the map into 4 quadrants for spawn purposes. These would basically consist of a large socket and a small outer perimeter. Quadrant selection for spawn would then be totally random. This would make flanks happen and cause stompers to be on their toes while stomped blueberrys would essentially be flanking automatically. For Ambush OMS I just dont know.

Perhaps a spawn that shifts on occasion, like once every 30 seconds, but not so often that everyone is sort of on their lonesome? This way if a group IS being slaughtered, players could wait 30 seconds and ensure they have a different spawn point. This would also force both teams to use uplinks in order to have teammates consciously spawn closer to the action. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.

How about dropping plenty of CRU's at the start of Ambush matches, since anyone can hack them and they aren't easily destroyed, there's a good chance of someone on both teams running off at the start of the match and hacking them. &/OR When a team is down by 10 clones, drop in some pre-hacked CRU's for them. One of them is bound to be of some use. Although it still relies on the team being mildly competent and knowing when to switch spawns, the enemy team will struggle to camp multiple spawns.

Why can't Ambush just have a set of spawn points per map? Each team can pick from 2-3 dedicated spawn points or use smart deploy. Being forced to spawn on a blueberries crappy uplink in the middle of a firefight is the reason I quit playing Ambush over a year ago.

I see it as a constantly changing list of kills with their location on them. The algorithm would test the first kill and then compare the next 10ish for their location. If the kills are not one sided(heated battle scenario) all logic would be on standby untill it becomes one sided. I can picture the logic for it but cannot see it as being very resource efficient in anyway. It might work on another system but with the limitations of the PS3 im not so sure Rise and shine CCP. It's time to implement ping based match making.

It might work on another system but with the limitations of the PS3 im not so sure You're assuming that only the PS3 will handle the computations. As of right now, the PS3 is not handling much, if any, of the computations behind how much damage your weapon deals, how bonuses are applied, etc. As far as I know in the years I have known CCP, all computations are made and verified server side on Tranquility which has been handling vastly more complex algorithms for Eve Online for almost 12 years straight without so much as breaking a sweat except during epic fleet battles and the biggest rush hour at Jita. If anything, the algorithms for the spawning in ambush would be handled best by the server. Don't worry about the stress on the server. I'm sure it can handle it given what it goes through every day for Eve Online. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.

There is such a thing as a tactical retreat. I weighed my options and it became apparent that it would be more ISK efficient to just leave. It also lessened the possibility of wasting my time for a zero SP outcome. So, before you troll, let me ask you this: Did you win that match? CCP Rattati wrote: I think you just hate ambush?

The spawn system is frustrating at times but it's overall a fun game-mode that I can play a few rounds in short durations and have been finding a lot of good video material to post. Point in case. What I don't like is that every so often the game just throws a curveball my way that I have no control over. I don't have a problem losing. I have a problem losing and not getting jack for it despite actually trying my hardest. Why stay in a match that I know I'm going to lose if losing doesn't even benefit me in any way? But nice try trying to de-rail the thread to Ambush Spawn mechanics Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department? *Founder of AIV*

I think it was some kind of ranking system other than level, and you only got rewarded for killing higher ranked people, or something like that. I wonder if we could have a similar system. So stompers wouldn't get sp for killing noobs, but if anyone kills a stomper they get a large reward. All based upon a ranking system similar to mu. Maybe the mu itself? Would work if there were any way to dictate who you fought against but there's no way to do that, so it'd just be frustrating to be pitted up a team of newer players because the battle finder decided you should be. a fitting meta level (suit meta AND modules/equipment/weapons) now exists in game, this could be used on a per spawn basis to feed a rewards equation of some sort. The notion of higher meta fittings getting less reward for killing low meta and its opposite, isnt so far fetched. +2% for each meta level your victim is above your own, -2%SP for each meta level you are higher than your victim? (2% of 50 points= 1 point). if vehicle fitting meta level is equitable to drop suit' re: militia/standard/advanced/proto, then vehicle damage and suit kills for vehicle rewards could also be adjusted. risk vs reward? heck maybe 2% isnt enough, or maybe higher risk should should pay more? 6% per meta above your own?

I concur with this ^ Place an fixed "spawn point" close to ceiling height (that is always available) in conjunction with "smart deploy". There is already a card on the Trello board for this.

If there was a way to detect people dying within x seconds from being spawned in that would prevent a lot of the ambush spawn camping. If you are on the stomping side of ambush, generally all you have to do is find the place that players are spawning in at, which means a lot of easy kills from spawn traps. The game doesn't register that people are being spawn trapped until there's already a group of players that have died. 2. Spawning into the middle of a battle is never fun. Even in most popular FPS games, the game usually spawns players away from the battle and not just where the cluster of allies are currently located. You usually never spawn alongside multiple friendly players, and rarely in the exact same place. Scattering the spawns in a section of the map is more effective than having the game spawn players in the same location of other spawns. 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

I rarely see a team, who gets slaughtered early on in the match, make a come back. Why drag the match out and make us run around looking for a guy trying to hide? Why are the maps for ambush soooo large? Kind of a contradiction dontcha think? When you think of ambush you think of CQC and fast paced battles....not running 300 meters from spawn to spawn just so Mr. newbie or Mr. Alt character can have a chance to hide. This ain't hide and seek. Stick us in a metal cage 50x50 meters and let's get that SP. Some of your players don't have all day to play. So they definitely don't want to run around for 10 minutes, just to get two kills and not reach the 200WP limit for vets. You need to listen to me Rattati and stop avoiding me. I'm a try-hard, because half my team sits in the MCC.

Just shelling out ISK for nothing at this point. Under current mechanics, none of these people would have received SP: http://i.imgur.com/x5zqCs0.png http://i.imgur.com/r1OsMSi.png http://i.imgur.com/XIbZFiZ.png YOU -WILL- READ THE BELOW BEFORE MAKING COMMENTS The question you have to ask is: What meaningful function does the WP Minimum implement? What is it supposed to do, who is it supposed to affect, and who gets caught the crossfire unnecessarily? If the WP Minimum was implemented to keep people from AFKing, then Ambush shouldn't be in the equation because it's nigh impossible to AFK through an Ambush. YOU -WILL- READ THE ABOVE BEFORE MAKING COMMENTS It's all about the money Aeon. You see...the more players CCP acquires, the more money they make. New players won't be attracted to the game if they are always losing and dying. So how does CCP fix this problem you may ask. Well, they have two options, they could fix match-making which would place vets against vets, or they could hold the vets back. Guess which one they chose? lol. It started with the whole racial bonus thing. This allowed new players to spend a certain amount of SP and be productive on the battlefield in one particular role. Before this the vets were extremely OP as the could change between roles and be the best at every role they had. With this new racial bonus option, new players could stand a better chance of being just as productive on the battlefield as someone with multiple roles. The next big jump was the introduction of bandwidth, which made it nearly impossible to run multiple roles. Vets used to start a match in their uplink suits, then switch to any other suit accordingly. Now with bandwidth, you have to run logi the whole match or another role, one or the other. In doing this, it limits the vets options or versatility and therefore helps the new players. The lastest installment of "let's screw our vets out of what they grinded for", is Apex suits. Finally, the day has come where Dust goes complete noob. This is the mother load for CCP. New players are drooling over proto BPO's. They can compete with the vets a little better and make lots of isk, no worries. No skills required. And CCP gets money from those who decide to purchase these with aurum. OH YEA! Just awesome. The last thing and most recent thing they have come out with is what your topic is about. Now, it will help with afk'ing, however...why ambush? Then after reading everything I've written above...it all starts to make sense. Just another way CCP tries to level the playing field without making it look to obvious, that they are intentionally restricting veteran players, like a boa constrictor they just keep squeezing. Do you know how to boil a frog? You don't boil the water then throw a frog in it...it'll just jump out. Instead, you put it on simmer and place the frog in the warm water, it enjoys it and doesn't realize it's being cooked until it's too late. They are doing the same thing to the vets. Little by little. I'm a try-hard, because half my team sits in the MCC.
