Opt-in for group spawn

Recommended Posts

This is not about clans or friends or whatever. Thanks for acknowledging this.

Players can choose to group-spawn on a server when joining or respawning. What then happens is the server waits for enough players in the queue, then spawns them at a random location together.

What constitutes enough players is up to debate. I propose 4 people.

WHAT HAPPENS:

You wait a minute or two until the queue is full, you spawn with random people together. Make the best of it.

You can opt-out of the group spawn while waiting if you're getting fed-up; you're then spawned normally.

DO OTHERS HAVE TO OPT-IN AS WELL:

All but the last player in the group spawn have to opt-in. So if we're talking 4 for the group spawn target number, then the first 3 have to opt-in, and the fourth is just the next-best player who spawns (regardless of whether he chose to group-spawn or not).

BUT I CAN ABUSE THE SYSTEM LIKE SO-AND-SO:

Good for you. You found a way to get your clan buddies at a spawn together. Rock and roll!

Well, that is the nature of the game. Be prepared.

I propose that the players face each other in a cross formation at a distance to the center of 10m so that escalations are extremely risky (you shoot the guy in front of you in the face, stuff gets random at that point).

All players need to learn to stand on their own, best place is to start is on the beach.
