Should people be punished for dying?

[fishirboy]

I think its ok for a cod game or some small game that is close corners for you to die contently but this game has a 64 square kilos and you should be punished for dieing, not for 5 mins, but around 40 seconds to a 1min. so way to make people to slow down and think instead of going Rambo and so that people can capture points with out being harassing.

Opinions, Poll vote please haha

No. Besides, things cost resources.

i'm not gonna vote since you do not have an option for exponential spawn times

1st death : 5 seconds
2nd death : 10 seconds
3rd death : 20 seconds
ofcourse the timer would degrade over time if you live longer

you get where im going with this

edit : its not so much about punishing dieing rather then making base caps work better.
if you had no spawn timer what so ever, then taking a base would be a total mess since everyone can just spawn in again instantly, so after pushing te enemy back into a single room you would be stuck cause they would keep spawning.
a better way of saying it is punishing bad defense

I hated the sometimes painfully long respawn times (if you happened to die a lot in a row in a short amount of time).. The timer on squad spawning is a very good idea, though.

Friendly advice - prepare for shit storm...

I tried pushing this question too a month ago. HERE The community is against.

Personally I liked the way PS1 did it. A lot of ppl didn't care for it but I thought it was a nice touch. If you played smart and didn't die every 5 seconds you didn't get hit with a respawn timer. If you played like shit and did die every 5 seconds you got hit with a timer that increased with the frequencies of death. It went down the longer you lived..

Another reason I liked it is because it gave the assaulting force a chance to gain ground or lose it....

Rushing to defend a capture point after dying at that capture point 20 seconds earlier is not harrassing, it's called respawning. Although, interesting that you seem to be thinking from the attacker point of view...most people who want long respawns seem to want it to be short respawn for the defender, and longer for the attacker.

Anyway, this is going to go the same way the Prone thread did. Let's skip to the end - this forum will vote mostly for yes, though SOE knows that won't win over new players. Arclegger already stated there won't be punishing respawn timers(except we know squad spawn is prenerfed). It was in the Day 2 E3 feed.

People oppose prone because this isn't a tactical realism sim but now we need punishing respawn timers to promote playing with better tactics?

You call it playing like shit, others call it playing aggressively, willing to let their KDR be mauled in hopes of helping their team.

The earlier thread had it the other way around

[Malorn]

Death itself is a punishment.

What earlier thread?

[megamold]

i do think in the spirit of keeping the game going, the spawn times shouldnt be exessively ( sp?) long
so a 5 minute spawn timer is a no go
