Random Spawns on Iricia

Admins · #1 06-13-2009, 06:44 PM

We have changed the player spawning on Iricia so that you are spawned at a random place on the map instead of your home base if your home base is under attack. This should help preventing base laming.

We have also added an event team command for giving items to a whole team, e.g. for prizes for winning an event.

Should make it so you can choose to spawn at any of your controlled bases. Random is stupid, give the bases a use other than "lol u win"

so, what if i want to kill the guy that is at my base?
i went on trying it'
there was 1 guy at my base and i got spawned at b1.
a bit long to walk to kill 1 guy dont u think?
make us choose if we want to be spawned somewhere else.
i gotta say, as it is now, i hate it.

So the spawn points should be closer to the home base?
Update: there was one bad spawn point for sweep fleet, it should be fine now, sorry for being unlucky

You should spawn at the closest base where you died last.

Should spawn at a friendly base imo.

Well the main point of this update was to help prevent base laming so if your home base is getting raided and you spawn behind them it would be easier to take control of it back. Regardless, though, the point of Iricia is to capture bases so if your home base is getting raided and you're spawning away from the enemy, then you really don't need to run back to your main base to kill them off when you can go around capturing the other bases first and then flank the enemy as a team.

It's similar to how it works in Halo.

i agree on the idea of prevent base laming, but i dont agree on how it's done,
i would want to go and kill the enemys that are laming my base,
i think there should be a limit on how meny enemys there have to be for away spawning.
1 enemy and u get away spawned is kinda stupid, dont u think?
either that or give us a option where we can choose.

nice work btw.

Sure, in deathmatch and FFAs. Team/objective oriented has you spawning around your base(s). And just because Halo does it doesn't mean it's being done right.

This update should've been done months ago...

Nice anyways

Halo and Zone have a similar futuristic idea, but Zone is far different. Ignoring the insanely low average playercount Zone has, I don't really think people try to go after the bases.
