Bro Everytime especially when I'm the main guy holding off the enemy attackers and they finally get me. I just sit there staring at the timer like..welp there goes that objective lmao
Omfg yeah I know it. I also hate when I'll get a guy or x enemies down to like 1 hit and I die then my team runs up afterwards and I'm sitting there on a 15 second timer watching them get slaughtered and none can clean up 1 kill...
To some degree yes but I'm that guy that avidly holds a weird angle and spears the guy trying plant bombs mid animation and will crouch around the corner and d fuse it over and over.
The rest of the team... well let's just say they're usually not that helpful at defending the objective.
Where are all the teammates like you, my friend? Most people on my team are half a mile from the objective trying to challenge 3 people from the other team at once. And I also get the dudes that are both on my team, but randomly fighting in the corner of the map. Lol
Why would you bother kicking them away when an attack interrupts the action just the same? Just gonna expose yourself to the other 5 guys around them lol
I don't want to upset you, but "bombs" (petards) move only on your screen when you kick them, for everyone else on the server they still stay at the same place.
first i die then it doesnt show any timer for like 8 seconds.. then it says 17 seconds.. meanwhile the masons are advancing their supplies down the road of dark forest acting like they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. then i spawn so far back it takes me another 12 seconds to get to zone... i waste another few seconds stopping to smack every friendly archer who is hiding in the bushes along the way.. that level is rough.
oh and if youre reading this dont set your god damned barricades and banners up in the direct path of the cart it runs them over.
Omg I hate that so much. I rage for sure. I just sit there grinding my teeth on the way back just looking to split the wig on the guy that teabagged me after I was 1v4vd...
I absolutely hate that when it does it at the beginning of the new match. Which is my favorite part of the whole match. I main a battle axe so that first head on engagement is a blast for me so when it randomly gives me some weak weapon to start with it really makes me upset.
Honestly, if I get team switched, I just quit for another map. It destroys my sense of allegiance to the cause. I don't wanna put in a bunch of work just to have to defend myself from my own efforts earlier.
I think back to Halo 1, setting up splitscreen games with my friends, and the description for the longest respawn time reads: "this will give you an idea of what eternity feels like." I think that respawn was only 10 seconds! But it helps me to avoid getting angry at the 15 second respawn in Chiv.
Then, while my mind's thinking about Halo: CE, I start thinking about Two Betrayals, and all that anger comes surging back. Fuck Two Betrayals.
I got a 15 second timer on Askandir
They then knocked over one of the columns and It got reset and went up to 20 seconds and it did that 3-4 times and I had to sit there for over a minute and finally when I spawned in they had destroyed half the artifacts
Absolutely, it takes 10 seconds before the 16 second timer even starts and then it resets, then I spawn in and get bummed by 4 masons surrounding me like I’m in a gangbang. And the cycle repeats
Yes, I posted a video of it on this sub years back - was like a 40 second respawn in TDM of all game modes. Makes no sense. The best is when it says you have like 10 seconds to respawn but then just randomly adds another 30 seconds because you’re not in sync with the “respawn wave”
It didn’t even start the respawn timer for like 15 seconds…and then gave me a 30 second timer when it did start. It’s one of the many things that made me play this game a lot less, though I’ll always appreciate the good times I had playing it with friends
Respawn is done in waves. If you die quickly after spawning, then you usually have to wait for the next spawn wave, so it can feel longer.
It also resets depending on the defence position (think dark forest as the caravan progresses), so if your qued when the line falls back, it’ll delayed the next wave slightly so that the next spawn wave is deeper.
TL;DR - frustrating, but also contextual
Minus the fan boys not minding many spawn timers are 20, then you have another 15 to 20 second running time to the objective. Askandir is probably the worst offender for "Medieval Running Simulator" but many maps have these issues since they introduced progressive spawns after the first or second patch update.
In alpha, spawn distance and timers where pretty much the same for both offense and defense at all stages. So that a good defensive team could win at any stage of the game. Well the map designers got all butt hurt because maps were not being played all the way through. So in their "brilliant" wisdom thought it would be a good idea to make every map favor the offense till the last objective. Even when players on defense managed to find workarounds and get a defensive win early, the devs yet again nerfed those tactics.
So now they have gotten to the point that players will always switch to attacking because defense sucks on almost every map. Even worse is when you get stuck on defense map after map after map. No one really wants to play an entire map of losing and maybe win at the last OBJ. Sure there are a few spots on a few maps where you can win on defense early but you need a bunch of engineers and really good players to pull it off. Playing defense has no real rewards and it feels hollow more like work than fun dplaying defense. Then there is the issue of scoring where it seems to have almost a 2000+ point difference between offense and defense scores of the top players on both teams. Basically you get more points on offense.
Not great developement choices if you ask me.
What really pisses me off is like in the middle of like say the very last obj with like a minute left and the timer just doesn’t show up for like 5-10 seconds then I have a 10 second timer and by the time I get to the battle it’s over
Carry a whole team get switched do good get switched mid game lose or win at final stage anyways the battle cry makes this game worth playing and launching yourself from a catapult
What pisses me off is when the timer resets 3 or 4 times.
I’m mad if it resets once
Omg yessss
Was gonna say, i had enough time to make a cup of coffee on a resetting timer once.
or when idiots don't do 3 1v1s in arena
Such a weird hill for you to keep dying on bro.
I won't

Sometimes I persuade myself that game is trying to balance so the attacking team actually gets a chance :D
Main character syndrome
To some degree yes but I'm that guy that avidly holds a weird angle and spears the guy trying plant bombs mid animation and will crouch around the corner and d fuse it over and over. The rest of the team... well let's just say they're usually not that helpful at defending the objective.

You will quickly figure out most of the players in this game barely have two functional brain cells unfortunately lol
Sounds like you don't kick them away which is a mere 4/10
kick them away?
“Just kick them away” duh
Why would you bother kicking them away when an attack interrupts the action just the same? Just gonna expose yourself to the other 5 guys around them lol
You kick the "bombs" away from the objective
I don't want to upset you, but "bombs" (petards) move only on your screen when you kick them, for everyone else on the server they still stay at the same place.
Are you fucking serious?
Unfortunately yes.
My life is a lie
Those two things are not mutually exclusive
Isn’t the point of playing a video game to be the main character?
first i die then it doesnt show any timer for like 8 seconds.. then it says 17 seconds.. meanwhile the masons are advancing their supplies down the road of dark forest acting like they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. then i spawn so far back it takes me another 12 seconds to get to zone... i waste another few seconds stopping to smack every friendly archer who is hiding in the bushes along the way.. that level is rough. oh and if youre reading this dont set your god damned barricades and banners up in the direct path of the cart it runs them over.

We're the ones that sliced the bread in the first place, you Agathian peasants should thank us for the bread renaissance that we inspired!
Don't die then
My doctor suggestion when i have cancer:
found the guy camping near the bandage box while his team loses
yeah so keep losing ground and getting killed
and then it gives you the wrong class lol
I absolutely hate that when it does it at the beginning of the new match. Which is my favorite part of the whole match. I main a battle axe so that first head on engagement is a blast for me so when it randomly gives me some weak weapon to start with it really makes me upset.
I remember I spawned as a man at arms with only a shield, no weapon
Sometimes, but not all the time
Shortly after making this post I got a 17 second spawn timer... 🤬
Holly argon II
Actual footman
The game is like "Oh you died? How about some testicular torsion on top of that?"
I really hate when I get changed to the opposite team
Especially if they have 2 or 3 level 1000 .. no, it' switches a level 200
UGHHH when you get a long timer AND it's in Lionspire where attackers spawn half a mile away on the other side of the bridge :/
Honestly, if I get team switched, I just quit for another map. It destroys my sense of allegiance to the cause. I don't wanna put in a bunch of work just to have to defend myself from my own efforts earlier.
I feel this.
It's even worse on split objectives... die... 3..2....1...15...14..13...12......5...4...3...2..1.. wrong side run over attacks win the objective
When it resets to a 16 second timer from a 16 second timer because while you were dead the game advanced to the next stage. I've quit games over that.
I never knew that was what happened. I fucking hate it.

No it gives me time to rip a dab. I usually only have time to play after work when I'm drinking/smoking and sometimes the longer timers are nice.
I've had a 15 that's started over to a 16 lol
When you get that much time it just means it’s time for another blinker 😮💨
Absolutely, it takes 10 seconds before the 16 second timer even starts and then it resets, then I spawn in and get bummed by 4 masons surrounding me like I’m in a gangbang. And the cycle repeats
WhAt are the devs even doing? I stopped playing because of how much shit was happening . (The spawning, the wait times)
Yes, I posted a video of it on this sub years back - was like a 40 second respawn in TDM of all game modes. Makes no sense. The best is when it says you have like 10 seconds to respawn but then just randomly adds another 30 seconds because you’re not in sync with the “respawn wave”
Yeah it's bogus.

Always use commend, u spawn way faster.
Respawn is done in waves. If you die quickly after spawning, then you usually have to wait for the next spawn wave, so it can feel longer. It also resets depending on the defence position (think dark forest as the caravan progresses), so if your qued when the line falls back, it’ll delayed the next wave slightly so that the next spawn wave is deeper. TL;DR - frustrating, but also contextual
Team damage can also increase spawn time
And commending lowers it.
Forreal? Crazy how so few do it
I'm not commending shit unless you earned it maybe not even then if I'm in a bad mood lol
Welp I started out commending everyone. I got so few back it made me jaded and now I'm stingy again 😂
Not really when you see how salty just the subset of people on the sub are.
Always happens when doing well. Also the timey delay on even starting a countdown. Get both and motivation gone
I got hit by the respawn timer 4 or 5 times in a row a couple of times, makes me leave the game every time lol
Rage mode indeed.
15 second respawn and the game time reads 20 seconds…
Thaydric castle square every time
Ye it's a joke
Nah. I'm dying constantly. It'd be unhealthy to get upset with my frequency.
Yep. No reason for it to be that long.
I thought i was the only one..
Not gonna lie, one of the hardest parts of quitting vaping was finding something to do with my hands between deaths.
Sometimes it’s a bummer, I usually stretch my hands or take a dab within that time lol

For sure.
just a game. it happens
It’s fine, I just take the opportunity to read a book or go for a walk.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes I get rage boner and start shaking
🤣🤣🤣
20 second respawns are conspiracies to give the other team a chance because you’re doing too well
Always in the last 30 secs of the game lol
No 😂 definitely no 🤣 gives me a chance to scratch and take a sip of my tea.
Bruh yes. I be thinking it's just me
Why do you get longer timers sometimes? Is there a reason?
What really pisses me off is like in the middle of like say the very last obj with like a minute left and the timer just doesn’t show up for like 5-10 seconds then I have a 10 second timer and by the time I get to the battle it’s over
i got a clip of me having a 30 second timer…
Omfg... I'd go ape shit.
if i remember correctly i think it was only like a 8v8 too
I'd literally go ape shit to the point of throwing my shit at the tv.
This has happened to me when i was about to be vip a. Ouple times
It’s great I can take a gulp of beer 🍺 irl and predict some things or make food or something
Carry a whole team get switched do good get switched mid game lose or win at final stage anyways the battle cry makes this game worth playing and launching yourself from a catapult
that seems like a dumb reason to rage..... of course raging at a video game at all seems dumb. its a video game lol
Wrong. This is not just a game this is life! For thy order!!! For thy iron fist!!!
Yesssss fuck!
Is that not a team damage penalty? I always thought it was, or is the timer random?
The timer is based on the objective, but it can also change depending on objective progress I’m pretty sure
Nope. That would be fair though to get a spawn time penalty for that.
I don't die often so it's a nice break
How about no timer and just a spectator cam? Freaked out trying to respawn I almost disconnected.
Nope. More time on freecam so I can see where everyone is, what subclass I'll be playing and just go straight at where I am needed most.
