Changing back the spawning time to 4 seconds in TWLB

[Don't try to resist]

Here's why I want the spawning time changed back to 4 seconds, which is how it was before this twl:

1)The games are more intensive. There are more players on the field, therefore there's more action.

2)We don't have to wait an extra second everytime we die. Less time lost waiting for the counter to go to zero...

3)The +1 second encourages camping, because dying costs more with it; camping does not make the game more enjoyable, as much for the players as for the spectators.

I was told that the +1 second was implemented because it gives the attacker a better chance (for attacking the cram, in particular). That shouldn't be a problem in the future if we have customizable maps (maps that squads can change at their tastes - see pl's thread for more info).

eh.. i liked it when it was 4 seconds, but only cause sharking was 1 million times easier. it takes more skill for the sharks AND spiders to cram these days with that extra second. the spiders have got to think and dodge a lot more. i gotta say i like it.

I think they shoudl add another second to the death timer.

If the sharks could spawn slower than the other ships that would be best. I don't know if that's possible.

I think anyone who doesn't like the 5 second spawn timer is a communist.

i think that settings should be same everywhere pub/elims/base/twd/twl

I didn't even notice it was changed until someone told me, do whatever u want.

He's right.

yeah i didnt notice it had changed until people started breezing through the cram and i would be like wtf did everyone just get better or something but then i realized the slower time and made adjustments.

doesnt matter to me, but if each ship could have a different timer, that'd be cool. Or maybe even making every death a random timer? 3,4,5? hah

1. I like the action when theres less people alive in the room, it's less chaotic.

3. Camping is a non-issue in TWLB

Anything's possible with bots, eh?

technically you would be the communist, forcing ideals, while we, the free thinkers, are revolutionary upholder of democracy- or using thAt guise to spread our 4 second facism to the basing world.
