Fix the damn spawn tubes! I wan't them to work like they are SUPPOSED to work. I don't want to get trapped inside. I want an "explosion" when they are destroyed like every other piece of equipment in the game(and like they USED to have). I wan't them to work when they are full health and the base has power. I wan't the map to accurately reflect the status of the tubes.

I'm not sure what bugs irritate me the most. But the spawn tubes have several bugs associated with them, so they are a real source of frustration on a daily basis. I'm really sick of the fact that in some cases they just don't work at all.

For example, our base was under hack and the base itself wasn't a spawn option for any of us. I figured the tubes were just down and the map wasn't updating properly. So I backdoor in and try to repair them. I couldn't because they didnt need repairing. They were all 100% healthly! The generator was 100% healthy. So why the hell couldn't we spawn inside the base?

The thing is I have seen this on the flip side of the coin. As a base assaulter and noticing that the enemy isn't spawning inside the base even though the tubes are up and the gen is online.

I have found a way to pretty much avoid being stuck now though, and I'll share it with you. Press your run forward key and hold it down about 5 secs BEFORE you respawn in the tubes. This has also gotten me out of the AMS pileups as well. Hope that helps.

Its starting to look as though Lonehunter says that in every damn thread. Does anyone else think its just childish spam?

I sure as hell do.

Also, the link in his sig just seems to reinforce this childish image he gives off. People might click it curiously and end up having to End Task/Process on their browser to kill it off, which is a blatant effort by Lonehunter to grief other people on the forum.

I will stop using that "word" becouse I have been informed to do so. As for the link in my sig, it's just a joke man no harm done. If it makes you feel better I'll put a warning in my sig.

Edit: I apologize for acting childish

yeah next time, dont create that gap in your post by falling asleep on the enter key....... just takes up space.

Lonehunter · 2003-07-12, 04:21 PM

Onizuka, did you get a makeover?

Onizuka · 2003-07-12, 04:33 PM

yes actually... id like to thank adun for that wonderful sig, but since i suck at photoshop so much, i had to work on my skills and thought what a better way than to create a sig. so i did.
