Simple fix to respawn spamming

[kaffaljidhma 1]

Problem: when people die, they keep respawning to end up in an optimal location. Rocket disapproves of this practice.

Solution: Your approximate respawn location only changes once every 15 minutes, so if you respawn as soon as you die, you'll end up in the same place unless you wait 15 minutes for your location to change to another place. It won't be exactly the same place but within a 100m or so radius to prevent spawn camping.

Nerfing respawns like this will give the devs the freedom to enable respawns all over the map if they choose without breaking game balance, because people will now not be able to "roll for spawn," or at least it will not be a good time investment.

Yes, I just wanted to start a new thread for this.

This repeated respawning is simply meta gaming and there should be some simple obstacle to do it. Something like respawn cooldown would be nice, but i think 5 mins is more proper than 15. Anyone can die 2 minutes after restart and waiting 12 mins would be really annoying.

My suggestion is 5 mins cooldown. I think its enough.

One fault is that people will respawn over and over and then loot all their corpses to fill up on bandages and pain killers.

Edit: how about we just limit it to 1 respawn every 15mins?

I understand Rocket doesn't approve of this. But to put it simply, ppl want to play together with friends and a 2hr run to link up with friends isn't something MOST ppl are up for.

So basicly, as im a bandit i could keep capping the same guy over and over and over and he'll spawn in the same location until he ragequits?

I like it.
