Adjust how rally points work, increased timer for frequent spawns from the same rally point

My suggestion would be to create a longer respawn timer on a rally point, according to how many times you have spawned on it. An additional second for each additional time. HOWEVER, if it exceeds 10 seconds, others can spawn ahead of you as your timer ticks down. Once it hits 5 seconds, nobody else can spawn ahead of you.
- The exception to this is if you are using your own rally point, which you will NOT suffer from the timer penalty.

This would solve a variety of problems at once.

  • It will encourage more rally points to be set, in order to avoid long respawn timers

  • Players will learn to take a little more precaution with the lives of their soldiers, as numerous respawns will greatly delay them

  • Players that rush forward relentlessly will be slowed down.

  • Players will likely start building additional rallies in an attempt to spawn more frequently, therefore also giving the team more rallies to use as well.

I feel this will actually not solve most of the problems you suggest it will. Unfortunately, people who don’t build rallies won’t start just because of this so I think it’s a poor suggestion.

This will make it worse then nobody will spawn on it. If anything make the rewards more enticing.

the good thing is that then you could crush defenders not by necessary rushing at them but simply killing them effectivly. And it’s something i wish would work well a lot. All the other aspects might be solved if maps (playable area) would gotten bigger and rally points couldn’t be build this close.

good in theory but since bots are brainless this will just punish people for the poor bot behaviour

plus i think a better design philosophy is to encourage players with benefits rather than threaten them with negatives, so i think a better way to achieve this

is to give players the priority spot in the spawn queue on rallies they’ve built

I have a better one. Every single time when a player who built a rp wants to spawn in on his own rp other players spawn timer is canceled and the msg will appear - Player who built this rp wants to spawn. Your timer will be reset after he spawns in.
