To all the flames on primal datacenter...

This is why pvp in this game is just a joke.

That's just part of the game mode. Spawn camping is just dirty, and there's not much that can be done about it except reporting players who do it and screaming at them in the chat box, but 3 way combat is part of seize and just needs to be worked around.

Sometimes it's better to just break off, regroup, and refocus, but a lot of teams chase and tunnel vision instead. The main problem is the size of the match. 72 people is too many to keep on point. That's why a lot of people preferred 24 man captures and slaughters. It's easier to stop 8 people from being idiots than it is to stop 24. Though, word is that the seize map doesn't work for 24 man groups either. Too big and too much terrain advantage to specific spawn points, or so I've heard.

Thats why we need more maps and a mode for 8vs8/ 8vs8vs8 cant believe we have only 1 map for Seal Rock would be nice to get more since playing the same map all over again kinda su**s sometimes.

When stuff like this happens, is it usually the pre-mades that are being salty with the revenge or spawn kills? I'm not sure how coordinated a group of solo queu'ers can be in a 24man event to constantly harass a team and not play the objective game. Not that there's anything wrong with playing with friends but I was just curious if anyone knew. I miss the 1teamvs1team of olden times. At least we don't have the "lets get on TS and 2v1 x team" that Elder Scrolls did.

It can be, but it's not likely. Most premade groups are usually trying to win, so focusing with a vengeance on a single team would be a bad idea. I guess if 8 trolls got together it could happen, but the premades are usually the ones who are calling out new node spawns or pointing out when it's time to switch targets because one of the other two teams are pulling too far ahead. I think I've only ever seen one premade try to tell everyone to focus one GC, and no one listened.

In my experience, most of the time this kind of thing is just caused by straight up tunnel vision. People just get so focused on the fight right in front of them that they forget to check their map or pay attention to the score.

Reading these forums you would think I'm in a different data center cause you guys make it sound like flames never pincer maelstrom when I've been seeing it happen all weekend lol.

Was in a match earlier where adders tried to spawn camp us lol. And they wonder why people fixate on them. I'll give em credit for at least trying it when we were actually in first place but given the fact that they didnt even break 300 points by match's end I'm more inclined to believe that was more coincidental rather than intentional >.> As long as you guys carry that rep people are gonna continue to derive extreme amounts of pleasure in making your matches miserable. I dont see flames spawn camp nearly as much as u guys do.

Normally, I don't like to blatantly point fingers, but Dimitrii is not wrong here. I see Adders spawn camp all the time. Almost every match there's a small number of them trying to pick on the people who are respawning at our base, and it pisses a lot of people off. Every single time I've heard someone say "Kill the Adders" and there was no logical reason (game mode related reason, ie points) for doing it, it was because Adders camped our base or trolled us in some way.
I'm not saying the same thing doesn't happen with the other GC's. Mael has been caught red handed doing it to us too. It's just that, in the matches I've played, there seems to be a greater trend of Adders doing it. I'd say it's all in my head, but I'm never the one who cries "Kill Adders." It's something I've noticed only because Adders have successfully ticked off my Alliance so many times, and I've had to try to outshout their anger in the chat box to keep them focused on the game.

It could be loosely tied to griefing. But a GM would probably need to be having the worst day imaginable to actually take action.

Spawn camping is not against the ToS, what a completely stupid notion

let me guess, winning is also against the ToS? what about killing someone in pvp?

Killing someone is okay as long as u dont use PvP skills. xD
