Also, regarding this point. I'm not being rude in asking, just don't recognize your name, but did you just start playing since yesterday?

I ask because I always defend how these spawns are currently working, even though others agree with your proposal, I feel the current implementation is the right way. In the skirmish mode (? we had only ambush yesterday right? I always get those 2 confused by name) there are Clone Reserve Units that act as spawn points, which can be hacked to make them your team's spawn point if they aren't already. Spawning at one is a 10 second spawn, hacking one takes 5 seconds. With how spawning is right now, if you're currently spawning, or about to select your spawn point, and you see a red dot approaching your CRU somewhere else, too bad, it's theirs. I personally feel this is the way it should be, and you shouldn't be allowed to insta-spawn over to somewhere you weren't paying attention to before to deny the enemy team's advance when they've cleared out the area or made it to somewhere that wasn't being defended.

It'd be nice if spawning were quicker in the TDM mode, but I don't think that should apply to the objective modes.

Allow us to view the score chart while waiting for respawn. 10 seconds is an awful long time to sit there doing nothing. Let me look at the score chart while I am waiting so I don't have to do it in the middle of gameplay. 2. Have the respawn timer start as SOON as you die. So it isn't a race to select everything you want. Also making it so that if you decide you want to do something else, you aren't penalized for it. 3. Reduce the hacked uplink respawn penalty or remove it all together. A lot of the time, when I want to spawn at a hacked uplink, I wait the full 20 seconds and then at the last second, it gets destroyed and then I have to wait 10 more seconds to spawn somewhere else. Stop discouraging people from taking advantage of the goodwill of other players. 4. Whenever you move to a new screen in the merc quarters or pregame lobby, have the chat displayed by default to get more people talking. 5. Turn on VOIP by default. Do you agree?

And you can turn it off if you want and your settings will be saved for next time. Though, this does bring up a good point: How about make it so that you have to turn on your Playstation Move mic in the options menu before you can use it? Quote: Ummm, So you want it to be a race? But you just said 'so it isn't a race'... Which do you want, the race or no race? Basically don't penalize players for taking slightly longer to select their spawn and loadout they want. This is really simple. Just have a timer start when the screen comes up rather than after everything is selected Or if the aforementioned situation where you wait 20 seconds for the hacked uplink and then it is destroyed, you can go to the default spawn instantly.

I think the benefit of voice chat being on by default outweighs the negatives of a few morons. I mean, I barely noticed it was there, and only saw it because I go through every options tab in every game I play. I had to tell every one of my friends it existed when they commented the game was so quiet in regards to people talking. Yeah, that's the issue. That's also the reason for making the chat displayed by default. So that if nothing else, people CAN read what you say. If you say something, most people aren't going to hear it.

The numbers are subject to change and I agree that a longer respawn might be necessary, but it isn't fun to have to wait longer because of an event you didn't see coming. And there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to instant spawn somewhere else if you already waited out the necessary respawn time. Your ability to select spawn points should not require skill to minimize downtime. That's stupid.

Lilianna Sentinel Bragian Order Amarr Empire 295	Posted - 2012.06.27 22:13:00 - [6] - Quote I see your point, now that I think of it. But it is a little too punishing. Maybe it could be like it starts counting down 5 seconds (Subject to change, naturally) so that it makes much less of a difference how long you take selecting your spawn and gear and then it stops at 5 seconds left if you haven't picked anything so you can't just insta spawn anywhere.

Please allow me to sprint from the crouched position It drives me nuts when I go to sprint and I just slink slowly. I agree, although admittedly this is more error on my end because my controller is a POS and presses random buttons all the time.
