If by that you mean not getting obliterated in the first 10 seconds in the spawn and respawning again then I would agree. Plane boys will be crying now without the free kills
I dont use planes. Disappointed to see infantry crying being used to balance combined arms aspects of the game. Next up are the tanks being nerfed for having machine guns, i suppose
There are still planes. It’s just you have to play land based things initially as in combined arms. This isnt a huge deal but the plane boys sure are screaming about it. So you cant get 30 spawn kills, how is that bad? Sounds like positive gameplay
The “fix” is a band-aid fix that achieves very little other than cause people to stare at their screens for 60 seconds to spawn in a plane. Who would’ve predicted this, oh wait, I did. And it’s why I’ve been against this and any kind of spawn timer from day one.
There’s several other, and better solutions to this, that are both friendly in terms of retaining player immersion, and effective at stopping racking up ridiculous killstreak right off the bat, while at the same time not ruining entire matches(thinking of Conquest types here that can last only a few minutes) for a vehicle class considering a minute is incredibly valuable.
I agree that some change WAS necessary because yes, it WAS insane, but not this change. This change is daft. There is no reason to force people to wait a minute to play what they want to play.
Also see this:
It fixes the initial spam, it does not fix the overall problem.
Edit: See this for a better and more viable solution:
Changing spawns so they are over a wide radius rather than a concentrated area would be better, so would giving infantry and tanks spawn protection at the beginning of the game for 30 seconds, a one-time protection at the start that is, to avoid being bombed or rocketed into an alternate dimension.
Yet now you are forced to spend ages waiting in the main menu, hoping nobody with higher spawn priority takes the spawn away from you to suicide bomb or whatever. People who actually spend most of a match flying in planes got 10%, 20%, maybe even 30% (on fast conquest matches) of their playtime removed outright.
Was it the best solution ever? I’d say no. I like your idea and would like to see something like it BUT we now have the majority of players happy the spawn killing is gone whatever the solution as most players are just relieved with the minority now opposed to the solution. It’s not perfect but it tips to improved game play for most. Planes are not dead nor ruined, only nerfed out of the gate. Most are happy
The problem is instead of people asking for a more in-depth solution than a band-aid fix, it seems the majority is perfectly happy with outright gutting the playtime of some players instead of a better solution. Which is purely psychotic behaviour.
The band-aid fix is tolerable, but this SHOULD NOT be accepted as a permanent long-term fix. It’s astonishing so many people are perfectly OK with genuinely screwing over a part of the playerbase when we have actual viable solutions available that makes everyone happy.
Many were not happy with the way premiums were nerfed either but it was a solution and most are willing to accept it. Perhaps they will come up with a more in depth solution to planes or maybe theyll leave it saying “well most are happy now”
60 second wait time isn’t “gutting” any game play for anyone lol Go get a glass of water, use a bathroom, get a bag of chips, whatever. Light up a joint. Stuff like that bru lol
No lol, why would I wait, once I want to spawn a plane I do so. Nothing have changed to me. Just because there is a min delay? Let me place a spawn beacon then when I die I have the planes for all the match. Because I have 3 plane squads avaiable at all time. So yeah. Nothing changes to me
Most my matches I go with 0 deaths as a plane fighter where and when a min is 10 20 or 30 or what ever percent as match cut off? Srsly!??
Again besides the first push nothing have changed
Which each are limited to their own spawn limits, meanwhile most players only have 1 squad available. Don’t mistake those P2W shenanigans with actual balance issues. Try limiting yourself to only the attacker squad and see how that works out for ya.
