`Movement, ADS, or weapon balancing are not the root of Krunker's spawnkilling issue. It is brought on by out-of-date spawnlogic, poorly designed maps, and insufficient spawn spots. Band-aid solutions won't work. The game's structure has to be changed. here a TL;DR / summary of the google doc

Core fixes:

  • Dynamic spawn system
  • More spawn points on every map
  • Map redesign
  • Temporary band aids
  • Rewrite legacy code
  • Telemetry and testing

What to not do:

  • ADS changes, movement nerfs, health tweaks, punishments for spawnkillers. none of these adress the core issue

To sum it all up:
To permanently fix spawnkilling, krunker must rewrite the spawn system, add more spawns, redesign flawed map geometry, implement dynamic spawns and test everything with actual data.
**under this post of mine a google doc with a full explanation has been posted by a moderator (written by me), please read it as it contains more context and may already address questions/concerns regarding this suggestions`

thanks my hero pancito

ping me if you have questions and read the doc pls, it gives context to the solutions

I’m so inspired @fringe blade

#

you’re making your moves in KB

#

new man

fringe blade
#

What do you think @cobalt yacht

#

Of the idea

cobalt yacht
#

You said how to fix krunker

#

And spoke about 1 topic only

#

😭

fringe blade
#

I think that is the situation we are in, spawns are the problem

cobalt yacht
#

I’d say the spawns are pretty bad yea

#

but you can’t just say the ads enforcing is bad

fringe blade
#

I compare it with a band aid solution, basically meaning its purpose is to serve as a temporary solution, while devs figure out the real solution

cobalt yacht
#

The spawn idea that you came up with isn’t bad

dude

#

i thought u talked to an actual map maker already and found out alot of this stuff isnt possible

#

and spawns are the root issues to spawn traps, which isnt what 0.5 ads is trying to solve brooo 😔

weak seal
#

Good thread if possible

#

Just way too hard to test

#

We've tried this exact solution 3 years ago @paper swan 😭

#

Just some players don't play the game enough or are involved

This person sounds like a nerd emoji

#

More spawns is actually worse

#

been tested

I read his document

and I was like "WOW"

this guy is not involved at all

only thing i agree is that devs need to just change the code for spawns joeshrug

Just to evaluate the nothing burger

  1. There are many more knowledgeable people who have said the same thing so i will let it slide. I’ve personally been saying it that yes, spawn logic needs to be fixed. This point starts off strong only because everyone and their mother with a brain cell will agree
  2. “Modern Joke for FPS” tbh i see worse spawn trapping in COD maps which is essentially what this games hard point esport bounced off of. Moreover, more spawns has been tested multiple times by myself on different maps with upwards of 20 spawns and it actually makes the logic worse. It forces even more specific spawns in some scenarios or had no impact. The small number of spawns essentially forces the game in a non spawn trap scenario to send u further than normal. With more spawns it can do half its job to a spawn a medium distance away and the player is still half trapped
  3. You ask to move spawns out of the way of common lines but then say that cubbies are bad for spawn movement. Instant contradiction so -1 points
  4. Invulnerability timer just means a new timing for people to play around instead of
  5. Same as 1 but just repeated i guess?
  6. Game is too dead for this to develop. This just sounds like what ranked SHOULD do but can’t because of player count. Either that or game can add more AI like Fortnite
  7. Just another thing to add to 5 or 1, but most playtesters (myself included) will just top down view multiple replays to figure out where spawn traps happen and why they happened. If i watched a “bad spawn” happen in real time, with my experience, i can tell you exactly why it happened. Using your brain is the telemetry. (This wouldn’t be terrible but it feels redundant to just add to the nothing burger
  8. Spawns aren’t randomized… watch any pro game why else would people “spawn on” also nothing burger: “penalize spawn killers” who is even saying that with a brain
#

As a salaried engineer, yes trial and error is literally the worst thing in the world to hear, learned that from a professor, but we deal with it and learn to maximize spawns with the trade off that a spawn trap exists… considering triple a titles like cod or bf6 can have just as bad spawn traps then i think Krunker can survive 😭

#

I just have no idea why anything past 1 even needed to be added to a document

#

“Devs just need to prioritize recoding spawns” 👍👎

#

i told flipbait in the thread a week ago, literally just typing words just to say it

and he’s talking about Telemetry and heatmaps like he’s spent more than 10 minutes in the editor 😭

# paper swan Just to evaluate the nothing burger 1. There are many more knowledgeable people ...

Thanks for the specific part

  1. Im not claiming to be the first person that says spawn logic needs fixing, im outlining why currently the logic is failing and where the foundation breaks. Agreeing doesn't make my point redundant.
  2. Cod compariso: its not relevant unless the underlying logic is the same, which isn't. And If testing shows it made it worse, send the scenarios to devs so they can evaluate the mechanics instead of an anecdote.
  3. The contradiction you mention is based on your own interpretation. The goal is avoiding predictable spawntraps without sticking spawns in dead end cubbies. That's a design direction not a conflict.
  4. I think this should be tested before taking conclusions with trial and error, like you told us trial and error, can't know for sure if its something that works or not if you have not tested it
  5. The rest is just filler stuff that adds nothing to what I wrote or attacking me on points i haven't mentioned in my draft, don't attribute it to this argument
  6. And lastly, you tell me that I should use my brain for telemetry??? What a great and totally not thought about argument, how can you expect the new devs to know all these kinds of analysis that you can perform but they can't since they sont have the experience? Give em some help for God sake

good

#

I hope u realize everything u said though

#

is like common sense

#

except some things

#

that just come with experience playtesting and being in the editor

#

i took my upvote because it's literally just a block of words

#

if ur document had detailed clips or videos, or even portions of krunk editor

#

who use editor when u can make map with editing JSON in file

fringe blade
#

I made my document in response to glen telling me to post a suggestion for the game instead of pinging him

#

So i did

#

Instead of basing it off your suggestions, @weak seal , which has been suggested by some, I wanted to shed some light on it

weak seal
paper swan
fringe blade
#

Bcs @urban sapphire thinks bcs I mentioned other ideas, that I based this one on it

paper swan
#

i think a non-map maker talking about spawn logic is like a non-pro player talking about gun balance changes

paper swan
#

It’s just a giant regurgitation so you can feel something when the devs maybe do a fix like “HEY!!! I RECOMMENDED THAT AFTER EVERYONE ELSE BUT I PUT IT IN A GIANT NOTHING BURGER DOCUMENT FOR UPVOTES ON DISCORD THREADS!!”

fringe blade
#

I do as I was told by glen, and if that makes you feel attacked then I think that that issue is one YOU should take care of and not me

paper swan
#

I’m not attacked 🤣 it’s just silly to see the same idea spat out once a year by a different person who thinks it’ll spark a revolution

weak seal
#

he just told u that u can post ur suggestion bro with free will

#

which was already common sense

#

this is an incredible suggestion

#

@soft kettle ill give it to u

soft kettle
#

🤔

weak seal
#

A lot of suggestions are considered lazy

#

just 1 sentence "fix spawns"

#

a plan of action is a great suggestion

#

this is good

#

no sarcasm @soft kettle , even if I disagree with ur approach and philosphy

#

this gives the devs a plan of action

fringe blade
#

Okay, let's not deviate from the subject

fringe blade
weak seal
#

no deviation

#

we just agree with u

it's just like

#

cool suggestion dude

soft kettle

#

idk what to tell u

paper swan
#

I think it becomes full of itself when it needs to be put in a google doc

#

shit did not need to be a google doc

weak seal
#

I feel like in kb the past week u've spent more time getting personal and u did in the google doc a bit

paper swan
#

“How to actually fix Krunker, an analysis” except you haven’t spent time in the editor or attached any clips so how is it analysis”

#

also adding “actually” makes it personal 🤣 😭

fringe blade
#

No way its this deep kid

#

I called you out for attacking me

#

And ur like this

paper swan
paper swan
#

context was essentially made in Point 1.

fringe blade
#

And so it can be understood by other people than you?

#

You are not my target audience

paper swan
#

It could have been a paragraph that was just point 1 and that would have been fine

#

your target audience won’t want to open a google doc either

fringe blade
#

That's why I added a tl;dr

#

?

#

Actual brain fog in ur head dude

fringe blade

calling the guy that actually knows what he is talking abt "brain fog"

Bcs he says its too long and ppl need to open a Google doc

idk man

you feel attacked, bcs its based on your suggestions, proceeds to give me screenshots that add nothing to support his claim

u need a break

ur telling me I base it off something I didn't do, ur assuming and ur assumptions are wrong

that I do know

weak seal
#

are we talking abt the original thread?

fringe blade
#

wait you are telling me to not deviate? when you start to deviate yourself? @weak seal and now that you don't like where something is going you try to use my argument against myself?

#

hold on you repeated yourself again buddy

weak seal
#

oh i left it there

#

i dont need to provide evidence

#

literally everyone sees it

#

some things are just pretty clear

fringe blade
#

and now ur ignoring me

#

what a dude

#

telling me to talk abt the original thread, but when I show you the times you start to deviate multiple times in the thread you try to now play it off as something everyone clearly can see?

Okay I read the document

Krunker does not need spawnprotection
And 15-30 spawns is just not viable on any map. You would spawn in a straight lane if this happens

#

I'll add my input

#

I love dynamic spawns

sturdy ibex
#

thanks

#

yeah i for sure dont think this is going to fix the whole game but most of the ideas actually arent all that bad

#

and i do actually believe the multiple spawn positions are a good idea if the algorithm was to be remade

#

its obv not a priority as of now as there are bigger fish to fry in the game but I see no reason for it to be shut down

#

and if tweaked appropriately a short invuln would help against shameless traps where you spawn right into some snipers crosshair

#

whilst not having any other large effect on the game

#

unless im missing something

weak seal
#

it sounds good

#

but even games like quake

#

have sucky spawns

formal lava
#

Maybe adding an in-game randomized spawn delay could help with spawntrapping

weak seal
#

or just an increased spawn delay which we are testing this weekend

#

we'll see how that goes

#

these are easier changes

formal lava
#

Ye bc usually if im getting spawntrapped id js manually spawn delay but most people dont even know that mechanic

obtuse nexus
soft kettle
#

maybe backup spawn points
if a player is in a close vicinity of the specific spawn u spawn in same area but on that backup spawn

#

if player is in red box 1
u spawn on green spawn 2
if theres also a player in red box 2
u spawn on green spawn 3

#

and this spawn should be put behind the box which basically deletes that spawn trap

weak seal
#

people would never spawn on

#

It's super weird and hard to explain

#

we've tried so many of these theories

#

especially on site

soft kettle
#

ohh like someone can sit there forever and have nobody spawn on him

#

could be shifted to the box where i was standing then

#

the one behind me

weak seal
#

yeah

#

just requires a lot of testing

formal lava
soft kettle
#

No

#

You just keep shooting

formal lava
#

Depends on the type of spawntrap

#

Im not talking about the broken spawntraps where you just aim your crosshair and shoot

soft kettle
#

Trap is where u don't even let them move

gaunt hinge
#

wont work

#

whoever thought of all of this just has no experience

pastel moth
#

I agree with LeBron lookalike above me

outer stone
#

just lower ttk not change ads power

formal lava
#

an easy fix would be like a short invuln period and that would almost guarantee a stop to the shameless spawnkilling

soft kettle
#

u can camp every single spawn in every single map

#

u cant trap every single spawn

#

traps are the issue not the camps

#

coz in traps u just stand still and shoot endlessly

formal lava
#

Spawn traps are the easier fix

#

Literally all you have to do is add invulnerability for like .8 seconds and its enough for them to turn around and shoot you

urban sapphire
#

That works

minor rock
#

it gonna ruin the pubs

#

the goal is to kill other ppl before they can even shoot

formal lava
#

???

formal lava
#

I mean i guess but if you want an even playing field then no

soft kettle
#

invuln will just punish good players

#

if they just fix the traps itll be done and dusted

sturdy ibex
#

oh my god i also hate it when the enemies can shoot back

#

more braindead ais please

#

i dont get it do we want the game to be better or do we want to spawntrap guests for our artificial nuke counter

#

cause i can assure you NOBODY has fun when they die without any counterplay

minor rock
#

they have to be better pepePoint

sturdy ibex
#

whatever man

formal lava
#

✌️

formal lava
#

Why "??" thats basically what ur saying

soft kettle
#

" sit behind a box and one tap with a sniper as they spawn in "

i literally said fixing spawn trapping

#

use 🧠 ?

formal lava
#

"Invuln will punish good players" if being good is sitting behind a spawn and just one tapping then how are they good

formal lava
#

How is invulnerability punishing if its only for say .8 seconds and prevents immediate death from a busted spawntrap like the one on kanji where you sit behind the fence

soft kettle
#

how would they sit behind a spawn if they dont exist 💀

soft kettle
#

so people cant sit behind it

#

coz invulnerability is kinda dumb

formal lava
#

Its not

soft kettle
#

it is

formal lava
#

How..?

sturdy ibex
#

the whole thing about invulnerability is that its a quick fix

soft kettle
#

coz its a fast paced game

sturdy ibex
#

i assure you with the current krunker spawn system you cannot design a map where there are 0 spawn traps

soft kettle
#

u die fast u kill fast u move fast u aim fast

sturdy ibex
#

it would need a whole remake

formal lava
#

Spawntrapping is a bigger problem because there is no counterplay, when you camp someones spawn they can delay, slow peek, go an opposite direction, etc

soft kettle
#

yea and nobodys against fixing spawntrapping

formal lava
#

So why are u saying invulnerability is stupid if it directly prevents shameless spawntraps without any real downside

soft kettle
#

bcoz its a dumb way of fixing that issue

#

ur basically guaranteed death if u run into a open spawn and smeone spawns in and theres alot of open spawns

formal lava
#

How is it dumb? would you rather krunker spend months time and resources trying to remake map spawns, not to mention having everything be playtested? would take upwards of months

formal lava
soft kettle
#

if its gonna be a guaranteed temporary thing then sure maybe
but theres nothing temporary in this game as we saw with those shitty ass classic ffa maps and bazaar which shouldnt even exist rn

soft kettle
#

and theres soo many of those spawns

minor rock
#

on site A

formal lava
#

Yeah theres multiple spawns on that site, the one on the double box ur talking abt??
