spawn camping prevention

[acoustic raft]

Add barriers that can be activated by site control like the one used at the main gate to places like the spawn corridor and hangar corridor to prevent spawn camping

pros

• lessens aegis frustration with raiders spawn camping
• helps keep server count up because no rage quitting
• prevents raiders from getting warned by intentionally or unintentionally spawn camping

cons

• people will say it's unfair or unnecessary

"This is unnecessary"
aegis are not allowed to be killed as they are exiting the spawn hallway unless they pull out a weapon. unfortunately, many divisionless (who are the main victims of spawn camping in this area) dont know this. as a result, they pull out a weapon immediately after leaving spawn and die. this increases frustration among aegis, which in turn creates further animosity between aegis and raiders

"This is unfair for raiders"
potential fixes:

• consumes fuel
• has health and a cooldown
• restricted to certain protocols

"Just report it if it happens"
it happens regardless all the time

ugly

🙄

[lethal canopy]

ugly but do it

[desert locust]

but si i support

[lethal canopy]

ARD will cook up the research on it

@severe light u got this

[glossy sand]

honestly

i fully support getting rid of this kind of camping

but maybe an actual facility change (however that would be implemented) would be better than a magical barrier that is activated by site control which may or may not even be on to use it

[acoustic raft]

it just seemed more feasible to me to have activatable barriers because i doubt dylan would change the layout just for this

[severe light]

No, I'm going sleep

[desert locust]

but uh

what if raider enters via zeta

[glossy sand]

true

[desert locust]

and other raider wants to support the raider

which hes allowed to do

pull out gun = able to kill

(assuming he was given reasonable amount of time when leaving spawn corridor)

[acoustic raft]

i believe maybe 10% of the playerbase being unhappy is better than 90% of the playerbase being unhappy

[desert locust]

true but thatll be one of their main concerns

[barren granite]

Technology already exists

[acoustic raft]

it's not much different than raiders on the balcony not being able to support raiders in zeta because sc can lock that door during lockdown

[barren granite]

This would be a cool idea

[desert locust]

they cant

i mean rule wise not but in practical they can

[acoustic raft]

im talking about the door that site control guard during lockdown

[barren granite]

Yeah

[desert locust]

they still cant lockdown it

[barren granite]

They usually just take away L-1 and Academy perms

[desert locust]

they can only change card perms

[acoustic raft]

i meant what rc5 said

[desert locust]

which they restrict to L2 and divisional

[cyan lava]

SIR WHAT ABOUT THE TIMES THEY PULL OUT GUNS

OR CAMP THERE FOR THE 5 SECONDS

[wise basin]

itd work both ways, I approve

[acoustic raft]

they wouldn't need to pull out guns because both of you wouldn't be able to shoot each other if the barrier is activated

[barren granite]

Yeah

I like the idea

Could be even better

If we put it at the hangar doors

[cyan lava]

Make it have HP and Consume fuel

[barren granite]

🤑

[cyan lava]

No

Denied

[barren granite]

Yes

Would be peak

[cyan lava]

That already happened once for a UC mini event

And boy

That was annoying

[robust bloom]

Because you couldn’t spawn camp

[cyan lava]

Bro vortexx read what RC5 said

Read before you write

[robust bloom]

Ah

[obtuse parrot]

does consume fuel mean while it is active

or like how it consumes some fuel like gate shield

[cyan lava]

Gate shield no longer consumes shit

[obtuse parrot]

proof

[cyan lava]

The proof is it being active when fuel is gone

[obtuse parrot]

it takes fuel to activate

idiot

[cyan lava]

Or even when the thing gets set to 0

[cyan lava]

You sure it still does hm?

[obtuse parrot]

yes

well i assume since it may have changed but when i was sc it did

[keen hinge]

No

wouldn’t they just come down through corridor zeta and just camp from there

[cyan lava]

I mean corridor zeta is easier to counter than outside spawn hallway

[keen hinge]

well then just camp from war room

[cyan lava]

I don’t think you get why this suggestion was posted…

[balmy linden]

Also let sc lockdown hanger anytime if raiders are camping

[cyan lava]

They can if it’s lockdown

Which if there’s enough raiders they call incursion wait a second

Then boom lockdown then lock hangars

[fallow scroll]

Maybe

[old canopy]

i like this but i think the better idea is either making the hallway curved like in my suggestion or just offset the hangar and main corridor so you can't be camped from hangar

[placid gorge]

ts coming from a raider is wild

[inner rover]

well then

Hangar has been locked for me outside of lockdown

😭

[balmy linden]

They don’t wanna get warnings

[barren granite]

Reactor must be online in order for gate shield to be activated yes

@cyan lava

[cyan lava]

Dumb

Since reactor being on to turn it on means it requires fuel but when no fuel it can still he on

[barren granite]

It's a bug probably

It used to shut off when power went out

Idk why it doesnt

[desert locust]

how dare you say its a bug

all bugs in dod are features with a secret reason.....

[obtuse parrot]

it was bug chairguy made it a feature now I think

since he said he always wants it on

[fallow apex]

yes pls one barrier
