How many standard kills is too many?

[XxXMaRiNeXxX]

I just hate spawn camping, even though its neccissary sometimes if you dont have the power to blow the tubes, but now I'm starting to feel cheap becuase I've got almost 170 standard armor kills. Is that way too many or not?

[Gigabein]

You do what you gotta do to take the base.

[Ogge]

i have about 200 standard vest kills

thats about 3% of my total kills

when u have over 10% of your kills standard vest you probebly spawn camp to mutch

[Biohazzard56]

Its nothing you should worry about, its just part of capturing bases

[Vick]

Your fine, dont worry about it. Spawncamping is part of the game, sure it pisses you off when it happens but it is not lame unless you do it just to get cheap kills.

[DeadTeddy]

lame is when a scattermax hugs a spawn tube not letting anyone blow it up so he can kill spawners. if you're NC and you see that please put some ACEs and take care of the spawn tube. warn him of course you're gonna blow it before you do.

[Rayder]

Meh, I love it when a bunch of NC MAXs spawn camp. They're so big and they don't have any effective AoE weapons, I must have killed about 20 guys before some guy with a JH managed to kill me... he also tore through 3 of his own guys to do it.

[Majik]

Worry about when you are doing nothing but spawn camping like Godjoey.

[Black]

i have like 50 standard kills it jus shows how much i camp :groovy:

[Liquidtide]

ON my NC char I have only 168 Standard kills, for almost 4000 kills, I think that's a big testament to the fact that I dispise spawn camping. I usually get in there and blow the tubes, even if others are camping I hate it and don't want to be associated with it.

Do what you have to :)

If that means nailing a spandex vanu do it

[XxXMaRiNeXxX]

Liquidtide- I have exactly 168 standard vest kills. But thier are always those surgjammies who run around with a lasher in standard. K thx guys.

If you don't spawn camp its to easy to cap a base if your underpowerd, as in ot AV maxes or deci's
i don't even know how many kills i have.

[Queensidecastle]

Its so lame to not just take the tubes out there arent even words for it. I hate the waves upon waves of idiots targeting the troops in and around the spawn room and not ignoring them for the tubes. Surge into the room, and Deci the tubes. Its real simple. Tubes down, cap the base and move on

[Rbstr]

Dude you can't always take out the fucking tubes how hard is that for people to understand? I have never seen a time were we finaly get inot a spawn room and don't procced to kill the tubes if we have adequate firepower

[Biohazzard56]

Usually, you have to breach and siege the spawn room before you can live long enough to take down the tubes.

[Dyganth]

I've gotten most of my standard vest kills from capping the caverns, no real way to stop them from spawning so you've gotta get down and camp until they either get a clue or the cap goes through.

[Veteran]

This game has to accomodate players who are fighting for their empire and players who are fighting for themselves.

Kinda like Nam.

Hi. Thats not spawncamping

Spawncamping is when you are in the spawn room waiting for people to come out of the tubes so you can kill them

Furthermore, Yes, people ARE too fucking stupid to surge into a spawn room, ignoring the troopers so they can take out the tubes. Higher priority is placed on killing the grunts streaming out of the spawn room, than taking out the tubes, thats just a fact. I am not sure if people are going for kills, are just stupid, newbies, or if its just Zerg mentality, but thats why Outfit operations are so cool. None of that stupid nonsense. We go in, and the tubes go down

[Acaila]

I got 160 grief tonight blowing tubes that had people camping them. I don't care, get out of the fucking spawn tube and go camp the cc, or move on, whatever. Some people, not mentioning names a, certain NC player from Markov, have turned spawn camping into an art and have nearly 40% of their total kills from it. Picking the right tower at the right time to camp it with an SC MAX.

[Subterfuge]

I dont really go to the spawn tubes. I stray away from it, the exp is terrible (not that im in it for the exp :rolleyes: ) and it's just a cheap kill, I rather at least let them get their equipment and put a decent fair fight.

[infinite loop]

Usually, you have to breach and siege the spawn room before you can live long enough to take down the tubes.

That right there can lead to alot of standard kills, without spawncamping. It really depends on your strategy. For me, I prefer to contain and destroy the spawn room before hacking a base. So I inevitably have alot of standard kills because of it, but I don't camp the tubes. Sometimes you have to kill some standards so you can pull out your deci w/o dying. It's just part of the game. For the record, about 8% (1000 or so) of my kills are standard vests. IMHO, that's from simply playing the game, no tube farming from me. Don't sweat it so much.

[Madcow]

I love getting kills on the guy in standard with a supressor that has just come out of his tower but didn't know to go to the equipment terminal. There's just something satisfying about thinking that the dork I just knifed just logged on for the first time. I mean, are there actually people who select "Go to instant action" rather than "Go to sanctuary" when they first log on? Apparently so.

[Tannim]

Most people get their standard armor kills from turning off the tubes, but there are a few campers. I was on Seargus the other day and the only spawn point I could get was the same tower. Instead of capping it, the enemy sat there to repeatably blow me away. Finally had to recall to sanc. That sucks when the cont is cap locked.

[SpunkJackel]

Spawn camping is lame no matter how you look at.

If you didn't bring and Deci's ore other High damage weapons to the spawn room, then you don't belong there.
