Protected start base

[Admins]

Right now there is a lot of base laming - people camping at the enemy base and killing everyone who arives. You have around 5 seconds after warping in which you cannot be killed, but it's apparently not enough. It's especially bad for new people who get killed right away without a chance to defend themself or at least trying out some weapons.

Proposed change:
- protect people for one minute after entering the map
- the protection goes away if you leave your own base
- when you go back to your own base then you will not be protected, so you cannot use it for laming

sounds good but isent 1 minute to long?
if i had 1 minute to kill like 3-5 people i would easly take them out.
and when you say leaving the base, is that down the stair of the base?

1 minute is far too long, maybe 10 seconds.

When we were noobs it wasn't any better.

I think 10 second protection would be enough, and it should disable itself when the protected player attacks someone.

[Jesper]

Good idea, i like it, I think 10 seconds is good

[RevolutionJS]

20 Second for the rest its A good Idea .

Invincible until you attack/leave base.

One solution might be a penalty for the other team's players. If they kill a "protected player" within 10 seconds of them spawning, then the killer recieves no EXP, money, or kills, and the opposing player does not recieve a death. I don't know if that would work or not, but I'm just putting an idea out there. Also, the 5 second invulnerability protection would sustain, and then the "No-rewards" would stay 5 seconds after that.

That'd be fine had I said invisible.

Fortunately, I said invincible, along with every other useful post in this thread.

When spawning, you don't take damage until you either attack, or leave the base,

I don't see why it needs to change now, we all have gone through it before. They can get over it.

I agree..I mean we all went through this, you just gotta go in there and kill as many as you can.

Hmm,, Protected start base It should be difficult for people and just because its dangerous. Not for me. But i think 20 seconds its to much. Cuz now the non-lamers can lame with the lamers ( understand XP ) It should be good for a own base where only your own team can enter it. Like this


And you are save on that base. If you want out you got 10 sec for walk out and cannot be killed.

And ?! ?
