Back with a New Suggestion...

[Pink]

I would like to see zspawn removed too. Its unfair and its used to cheat more then any thing else.

You know damn well how long it takes for a round on Zombie servers to end. So, a player connects to the server, and instead of waiting to participate, and have fun, they can spawn as a zombie, and play for awhile. You cannot spawn twice either.

The only way you can respawn after dying is by reconnecting to the server. There are always server admin on, so if you see someone pulling that shit, they can kick them. It's that easy.

Removing the feature entirely would prevent players from immediately having fun on the IBIS servers. Something I do not want to see.

Wrong.

It isn't against the rules as of right now.

This is an old topic, but I said on Oonyx on this.

He joined in midround and spawned, thats the reason the !zspawn thing is there. I use it when I join the game, beacuse when I get on I want to play and not wait 5 min for the round to end.

so fucking what if he saw you before he spawned. and where the hell is proof that he did?

Why did you let him on your head anyways?

This was to support Kavinsky's topic. He mentioned that every hiding spot is now compromised with this feature because people can connect to the server, spectate for any "easy" kills, spawn in and take them out. The diverse gameplay of Zombie Mod would narrow to just building cades and nothing more...with !spawn:

1. No longer any more hiding spots
2. No longer can zombie hunt by yourself
3. No longer can zombie hunt as a team

I can't think of anymore at the moment, but many strategies that would have its own epicness would cease.

And StarsMine, if you were hiding in a spot and a freshly spawned deformed found you from spectating you prior to !spawn and came over to you, what would you do? The zombie has 5000 hp. You can't do much at all...when a zombie finds your spot, he's pretty much in control of the situation, unless you plan on running (which I couldn't do because I had a solid minute left and shooting would just give my position away faster).

And no, I do not have concrete proof because it was my first time encountering such a thing. But I can tell you for sure he exploited it with intent. You just have to go with my word on this.

There is also the problem with zombies reconnecting to regain full health.

[inthebutt]

isn't there a section in the rules that doesn't allow this??

if not we should add a rule asap, so that way the admins in game can start punishing people for doing this.

this is gonna ruin the game and make people not wanna play IBIS ZM if it keeps up.

[Oonyx]

You just have to go with my word on this.

Why does he have to rely on your word? I've already admitted in this thread that I saw you.

Yes, let's make up a rule that can't be properly enforced.

Wrong, DB#1.

We always have had fun on IBIS ZM ever since mid 08' without !zspawn and even parachutes. I think IBIS ZM is now lamer than it was in 08.

how can it not be properly enforced you fucking idiot??

if you see someone get turned as a zombie, disconnects, reconnects and zspawns back into the game. he just did it.

how hard it that not to see??

I got a suggestion for you oonyx, just play the fucking game correctly and leave all the important stuff to us, alright?
