I'm tired of flying my dropships into the red zone and dying with 5+ seconds left as I'm just about to cross back out to the safe area. Just now, I flew a viper into the red zone to go hack a supply depot I had spotted, I got out of my dropship, successfully got the hack, then got back in my dropship and began to fly away. Then after all that, with 7 seconds remaining and the edge of the red zone just inches away I "committed suicide" and exploded.
Seriously, it's just not cool. If it were 1 or 2 seconds then whatever, I'd put it up to latency. I died with 7 damn seconds! What's going on here? |

Yeah, it's cost me several million ISK in dropships now, pretty tired of it. |

Not sure I agree with you, add permanent respawn points along the line of the old redline as such spawnpoints now exist throughout the maps to avoid exactly that. If they can reliably camp half a dozen points effectively, then they probably deserve to or are overwhelmingly outnumbering the other team.....
I'm not sure I understand your issue with redline spawns... Why should the be symmetrical? I don't think I've ever played a game that had symmetrical spawns in every instance.
The timer is the only issue I have with redlines, since writing this post I have died 6 or 7 more times, flying out of the redline with 7-10 seconds left. It seems to me like this issue has gotten much, much worse over the past 2 months, I can't recall it ever happening before that. Maybe a couple times I died with 2 or 3 seconds left, but I've been playing Dust for 3 years now and I honestly have never run into anything this extreme before. |

I'm not saying the spawns should necessarily be symmetrical (although if you want your game fair then generally the maps should be symmetrical or as close to it as makes no difference) but that the redline should be. If I have to go into the redline to get you out and that isn't a redline for you? That's not fair. That creates an imbalance where players can hide in relative safety with long range weapons as the time it takes me to get to you and kill you will probably be a guaranteed suicide for me, presuming you can't give me the runaround for long enough that I just die.
The whole issue with redline campers goes away if redline is redline for everyone at the same time. I.e. If you're somewhere without a timer, then you can bet your ass that if I'm there hunting for you, there won't be no timer. Anything else adds an imbalance for specific modes of play.
I still see it as a non issue, even if it is extremely annoying at times. If you've pushed the other team so far into their redline that they can only kill you from inside it, then you're probably winning the game. Even with redline snipers it's not that big of a deal, if you can spot them well enough to hunt them down, then you can probably counter-snipe too.

They need to bring back the moving MCC and to prevent red camping the MCC somehting like 4 missile launchers that target the red dots within a certain area of the MCC.
so then you can actualy utilize the entire map no more red line tanking and sniping every one is able to get every one actauly have risk and reward
This is actually a cool idea, although I can't ever remember a time when the MCC moved, unless that was as far back as the first few months of closed beta. Having the MMC move would actually be a cool way to eliminate the issues and pet peeves surrounding the redline.

If a large enough group of people make a stink about it they'll listen, they just have other things to fix that more people are bothered by right now. |
