Respawn times of 30 seconds are easy to get over and at times when you have stayed down for some time waiting for a possible revival you have waited your final 30 seconds and it is basiclly an insta-spawn when you click give up.

I mean it isn't even an issue when you click suicide now if you cbf'd getting some transport back to main.

 

IMO they need to increase the respawn time to 1 minute, and reset the counter after you click give up to 30-45 seconds.

 

HBU?

I think the PR forums are better suited for discussing this, hence why you never see these sorts of threads popping up on bigD. Also, could have named the thread title in proper english (I know the original is called the same thing )

Short or Long. Its still annoying as hell to run back to the action.

I know the grammar was poorly worded but that was the whole point, to move it to a different forum altogether.

I want to hear the opinions of people i play with and not from a whole lot of mixed opinions from international players who play the game different to how we play it.

I love PR, and I'd love it more if there were some more 'realism' changes that made things like 'life' more important.

 

However, my buddy is still playing COD4/COD6, and a 60 respawn would be just another reason not to play PR for him...

 

 

It's a constant tightrope of providing enough realism, but still making it enjoyably playable for the widest possible audience.

If PR only catered for die hard reality fans, there would only be one server.

"Is dying no more a matter ?" satisfies all the necessary requirements

to be called "proper English" - the order in which it's elements are arranged

may be uncommon and more likely found in poetry or literary prose

but it is still a sensible statement.

 

I usually try to die as little as possible.

Hmm well I don't have much to say on this issue, since the spawning thing has changed a looooot over the years I've been playing so I sorta just roll with what the devs want these days. I feel like the new rally system is the best of both worlds, and it does work quite well.

 

With firebases having to be so far apart and so easy to find/destroy, I don't think that the 30-45 second spawn times are too little... a good portion of your alive time is spent traversing from spawn -> desired position, so upping the spawn time by 15-20 seconds isn't going to make a huge difference.

 

I see what you mean about suicides, and I'm not sure about other people but the only factions I really do this on is insurgent factions (Hamas, Tali or ins) where tickets don't matter. Of course if I get myself stuck in the middle of nowhere in a hotzone I'll probably do a suicide charge on a position to die and spawn back at main, but unless it's a 4km map I see most people will suck it up and walk to the area where they'll meet up with their squad.

I know in the past I used to just hit 'give-up' as soon as possible because most often it was more fun in general to make my way back to my position than it is just lying there waiting for a medic to get to you. Especially if I didnt have a medic in my squad, as it seems pretty rare for non-squad medics to get you up (maybe there should be a better way of getting thier attention and getting them to find your body)

 

Now I do try and be a bit more patient, wait for the medic to get his chance to fulfill his role and get some points and use out of his kit. I personally cant stand being medic, I cant hit **** with iron sights, and I end up just running with my squad healing and resing (which I know is the role, but i find it dull, and im much more usefull as a rifleman or something).

 

30 could be a little light for a respawn time.. but I also cant handle the long spawns for falling of a hill or killing a civi. Maybe a 1 or 2 minute constant timer would work.. where everyone spawns at once whenever the next timer comes up.. would be kind of like getting reinforcements, rather than trickles of individual soldiers

I personally cant stand being medic, I cant hit anything with iron sights,

 

But it looks so sexy!

Anyone else tihnk that? no? just me...?

:shower:

Sounds interesting... But i can see myself raging if its the fourth time in a row that i get the 2 min timer...

i love iron sights

 

i dont know about the timer ... well it would look cool .. but waiting 2 mins will just piss some people off when they want to get back into the action.

The spawn time is not really an issue not to long not to short, but yeah the laying around waiting to be revived is pita esp when a non SQ medic runs away lol, but this is the point your squad should have a medic.

 

I often go medic now and I think its pretty well balanced

i still remember the times when you had like the whole sq going medics... lol

I know in BF it was a popular squad combo haha, ah cant say I have seen it in PR but I must say I'm getting the hang of iron sights its just pita with long distance shots

I love the medic iron sights!!! I can hit things from further away then with a scoped version!! To me it seems there way more accuracy- When im zoomed in once i fire the screen bounces around and thats it!!

Ironsights FTW

would be awsome if the medic got a mp5 with red dot...maybe a lil overkill?

Maybe a little bit... unrealistic

 

The DEV's only put in, what is in common usage by the various defence forces. If you reckon they should have MP5's with Reddots, post up on the realitymod forums with some sauce and you should be right to go
