Dual @ Dawn Spawns
« on: October 24, 2014, 09:39:14 am »
The spawns were changed on dawn and now we have a side for each team. Because the map is so small it is now possible to camp the spawn points and kill the enemy ships before they are ready to engage. I would suggest we revert back to the old system for dawn and have spawn points at all corners of the map. This will prevent spawn camping and keep the fights more interesting.

Other maps are bigger. It is still advantageous to hunt for spawns but in a competitive sense this is just letting you know where the enemy is, example is on fjords, moving into that open area  at the high end forces the enemy to spawn in the triple arch. While you won't have field of vision, you know where they are. Its good but unduly unfair as you had to clear their spawn to begin with.

It would seem duel does not have this.

I haven't played Duel much since the update, but I see how this could be a major issue. I second reverting back to the old spawn points.

I wasn't aware of this, that was what made duel fun. Dat brawlfest super fun times.
Like you can't always be sure where they will spawn- that was cool.
Ech.

I haven't played as a captain on duel since the patch yet, but I disliked the old spawns as well.
Instead of reverting the spawn points lets find a new, better set!

How about each team having spawns on oppoite corners of the map? So red gets to spawn in both northwest and southeast and blue in northeast and southwest?

Haven't played much new Duel at Dawn, but I hated the old spawns.

I would like to see a spawn point in each corner of the map that both teams could spawn at.

I can attest to this. It happened to my Hydra team today in the SCS 25. It was absolutely brutal and frustrating once a brawling team gets in your spawn area. Basically lost us the game automatically after the initial engage. Who's bright idea was it to take away spawns?

Good job Muse.
Your name is so appropriate for the situation right now.

Also the old spawns were miserly, but the current isn't much of an improvement. Still waiting for the day when dynamic spawns become a thing.
