"Poll" - /Spawnreset

[Ted]

Voted for Graveyard! Sound epic! There is like one in each city! So it's perfect!

Imagine when you die and u respawn:
"[SERVER]: You have been resurfaced from the grave. Go and eat brains."

Maybe come Halloween

Spawning at the nearest hospital would be better.

[Lustigkurre]

Ironic, we just had some topics asking the developers to reduce the amount of state cars as the OPs held the current levels to be "too much"...

You do realize that much of the stuff people are complaining about now are things that players themselves wanted, do you?

Run a server even for a year or two, add each and every idea that the players ask for, and see how much of a clusterf**k it becomes. There is a reason the developers are developers, and you are not. It's up to them to find that balance.

I would like to see the topic with random hospital spawn suggestion and the huge amount of players agreeing on it, if it existed.

[Lustigkurre]

Everyone is just expressing his opinion, it isn't like this topic is admins vs players.

So it's a coincident that the few players supporting random hospital spawn are admins? I believe admins support it because it makes their job a little easier.

ALL HAIL TED

[Gimli]

I believe "Spawn at nearest hospital" is a good compromise between the developer's wishes of spawning at a random hospital and our (the players) wishes to spawn wherever.

I agree, we shall be reviewing the spawn system and this might just be a good compromise

...or perhaps a mixture of hospital/graveyard :P

[Pingster]

Unless you consider someone respawning and doing their best to punch you a revenge kill attempt, spawning at the nearest hospital will not increase RKing.

Them having to drive to ammu-nation first, then back... well, doesn't matter where they spawned then, does it?

I would like to see graveyards! I have never in my SA:MP gaming career seen any server that has any usage of graveyards like this!

Or maybe you're just being a bit judgemental?

Carkill, car bomb, punching, if in LV you can also heli kill, blow him the fuck up with a plane.. there are ways.

[Pingster]

Good point, carkill is an actual threat.


Oh well, it's not like you can script a utopia where breaking rules is just impossible. Guess we have to deal with problems the old fashioned way, by interacting with people who will interact with other people who will stop these problems. Part of what Argonath is about anyway, player interactions.

We had a single topic made by someone who didn't think his "idea" through even for a moment.

Oh yea, I remember all those topics where the cops wanted to be forced to stay in a dead city against their will.
When will it finally be understood that some features of RS5 are just near-universally disliked and unwanted except by the devs who spent time making them.

No shit, but if your server is hemorrhaging players and nearly your entire userbase is calling for a change to something, you'd have to be a fool not to do something about it.

They're developers because they know how to script. That doesn't make them pro at game design, it makes them pro at coding.

I've seen the occasional instance of complaining vs. state cars in /p, so the sentiment should be more than just one not very-well-thought-of topic.

Oh yea, I remember all those topics where the cops wanted to be forced to stay in a dead city against their will.

At the time (I was privy to inside discussion about jurisdictions between the higher ARPD command as early as 2010, even before some players supported it publicly), it seemed like a good idea and quite some people wanted cops from their respective PDs to attend more to their own cities, and for ways to populate the other cities. Not even I anticipated the current outcome.

I don't like the jurisdiction system either, you know. Getting players to populate another city is nice, but rendering them powerless in the rest of the map is just frustrating.

I believe the HQ has made it clear that they are listening for changes and will get to work on the rest after they finish implementing the core components of RS5 in order to fully compensate for the 4 months' data loss.

They're developers because they know how to script. That doesn't make them pro at game design, it makes them pro at coding.

Not only the coding developers have input regarding how the game design will go, but also the rest of the HQ. One example was myself when I was a Manager assigned to manage administration, I was not one of those who coded but I had significant influence over the features, and I won't be surprised if all the other servers work the same way or similar.

Naturally, an HQ member who specializes in observing player behavior rather than coding scripts would also be able to bring together ideas that the coding developers' scripts are based on, based on their active experience in IG administration. Otherwise it would be a waste of (human) resources.

[Jaka_Lah]

JDC and Panda remind me of something..

[Leon.]

The revengekilling shouldn't really be an issue with an admin team :P
