respawn time

[diluted]

HOLY SHIT FIVE MINUTES WHAT THE FUCK ?!
I THINK TWENTY FIVE SECONDS IS LONG JESUS CHRIST

end.

I think you can spawn back at a base or sanctuary very quickly, but if you want a mobile point or a tower you have to wait the full 5 minutes. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[nerveRX]

i think they lowered the respawn time......?

better have, cuz yea 5 mins is VERY long, most cs rounds dont even last 5 mins and its still a longggggggggg time sitting there if you die early

[Saint]

If it is 5 minutes, that is just more reason to stay alive.

[diluted]

from dave himself

Currently, that�s about 5 minutes, so it�s a long amount of time to wait. Ah, it might actually be longer than 5 minutes� I�ll need to check.

[Saint]

Diluted, are you sure that is not from when he was talking about getting revived, I thought when you chose to be revived you can, but if no one comes in 5 minutes you are put back at your nearest spawn bind.

[Hamma]

I think Saint is correct

[Fire_Monkey]

hmm that kinda sucks, if I get into beta I will complain about respwan time, and so should you all, that is of course if it bothers you.

[Flameseeker]

I heard it's based on how many people are waiting to spawn, and how many people have binded to that spot. Sanctuary is very fast, a tower in the middle of nowhere would be fast, a base that 300 people have dematerialized to warp to because it's under attack would be 5 minutes. I'm just gonna use a Reaver/Skeeter/Basilisk.

[Zatrais]

Yeah like saint said, you can stay in your body and not respawn for 5 mins before you have to pick a spawn location...

[Fire_Monkey]

If you don't wanna get looted.

[Prefect]

I thought 5 minutes was just the maximum time you could spend in your corpse if you wanted to wait for a rez. But you should be able to release early if you don't want to wait.

And of course spawning at front-line locations would have to take a decent ammount of time. How could you every hope to take a base if the defenders would respawn every 10 seconds?

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Like has been said here multiple times:
1. You can stay at your corpse for up to 5 minutes, before you automatically release to wait to respawn:
AND
2. Your respawn time depends on how many people are in line to be respawned at that location. Each person adds to your wait time.

...end of discussion.

Bleh, spawning 1 at a time... i hope it's been changed to BF spawning where we spawn in groups
