spawncamping @ ctf >.<

oke, it seems like there is a misunderstanding here.
I am at Ctf, and being spawncamped AGAIN, really sometimes ctf could be sooo much fun! but then sometimes it could be sooo annoying, if u see all the people spawncamping:-/ and then i see even uni members spawncamping on me, his excuse was yes but you were running towards the gate, you were not in your spawnplace, so its not spawncamping, but as soon as my 5 sec were over he kills me o.O thought we as a union made rules about this on Venus, and I dont know how this is on other servers but i'm sure for venus. So could please explain for everyone, what is called spawncamping... IMO if you have the flagg, just go back to your base and let everyone spawn again and have a fair war again...

actually, what did you expect?

Fair play would only give the other team an opportunity to come back.
I hate it too but if tables are turned its your chance to decide if you do it or not.

This is the hidden bug they forgot

People spawn kill to show how horrible their character really is. Happens to me all the time, but the funny part is.. 50% of the time I'm in CTF I got a buddy that's on the other team that resses me and helps me out and rapes them out of our spawn. I do the same if my team does it.

It's funny to see the other team drop so easily, but yet as a group they're deadly if they target one person.

i rather be spawncamped, then have a team that is spawncamping.
atleast being spawncamped is a good challenge

last CTF i played i had a really good team, we just waited in our base. then they came again with a full team fully buffed.
was nice, atleast we had a good little war every time.

When I am in a CTF and my team gets dominated sometimes we just have 1 v 1s. I've even been ressed by the other team so I wouldn't have to wait 20 seconds. I've also teamed with my friend to res people on my team so he could kill them faster and get more tickets.

I've had some really weird CTF matches.

I usually don't spawncamp but I did it today cuz my other pt members were too stupid. And with 2 wizards in the opposite team I would die quite fast if I would let them buff up :oops:

Other than that I mostly go back to our own room and wait for people to come there, and fight a fair 1 on 1.

It happened on Venus? Report him to his guild leader. He'll be reprimanded or kicked.

Like 2 safe zones, 2 little corridors and one main battle room where the flag pole's are positioned.

There are a few things you can do to at least help this not happen..

If you are on the spawncamping team:
1. Res the other team, buff them up.
2. Join them into your party (some people get DC at event)
3. Tell your team to fking stop because they're being nubs (lol)

If you're the ones being spawnkilled:
1. Use 100% typhoon drugs. They work from the spawn, while with buffs you have to.. well buff after the 5 seconds. (you can get out of the room and near the flagpole in middle before someone hits you.
2. Stay on the ground, tell your team to do the same. The other team will either log off from boredom or go back into their own room as they're suppose to be. (This has worked for my teams more than once when we've been pinned down)

That's all I can remember atm, hope it helps.

Too bad that most of Xian's CTF matches are 6-7 turks/other people and 1 or 2 people that can speak a bit of English and knows that they have to play like a team. =/

Yes it was at venus, but well, it would be much better with a safe zone, because you cant play a normal ctf with spawncampers, especially not when your a wiz and you are spawncampt, you allready have no defence :-/ oh yeah Barotix its Mr_Aim here^^

I've had the same thing happen to me a few times. I like the idea of a safezone but it would just help some of the retards that want to make CTF unfair. They could just phantom or teleport into safezone when their health gets low. Also, if a player has a flag and goes into the safezone, how would you kill them? It could be that if a player is holding a flag then they can't enter the safezone. I still think that there are far too many problems with CTF for us to enjoy it.

its not really that bad until you are lvl 79 because joymax somehow thinks that anyone above lvl 79 should be in the same CTF -_-

They could make it so that once you leave the safezone, you can't reenter it until you spawn again.
Once ya leave, you can't go back. It could have a forceshield just like the ones on the doors.

maybe they can make it like, when u respawn, u spawn in the safe zone.
but after u go outside, u cant go in (the safezone), unless u die again and respawn.

Team who get the flag cannot stay in our base and they must be TP automatically in their base.
They may wait in the corridor, but cannot enter in our base, like when you haven't the key.

When I'm spawncamped, I usually put bless spell + iron/mana skin , and next you can kill all their nuker one by one :love:

there should be more than one spawn place, that makes it not booring
even if i'm in the team that own other team's spawn zone, it turns into a ks event for tickets, not fun on both sides

Puma60 · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 2:38 pm

Annoys the hell out of me too. Thats why I don't enter the event anymore.
