Spawn locations
What’s it going to take for someone to put some thought into spawn locations? The weekly event is unplayable because you have the defending team spawn in place while the attacking team spawns in a di...

@ippig Spawns are in a fixed location in Turf Takeover and Gnome Bomb! Defenders in Turf Takeover still seem to have a disadvantage because of where they spawn though. I meant that the spawns are in a specific location 🤭. I haven't played Turf over the last few days, so I will try and look into this a bit deeper! 😃
@TheSprinter85 The spawn locations are so far back you spend too much time trying to get back to the area. Major waste of game play time. In GW2 it sent you to the back of the map section area. But thus it seems it sends you back 3x as far. If we didn’t have the sprint ability I wouldn’t bother playing turf takeover at all.
- @djbon3saterp PopCap designed the spawn points so far away from the objective to compensate the sprinting ability in the first place I suppose.
Unfortunately that's the also reason why they didn't add teleporters to the game like in the previous titles.
When TT still had 12v12 lobbies the spawn points were kind of ok-ish due to more players which could play the objective while the vanquished team mates could respawn.
But even back then many players complained about the long ways.
@TheSprinter85 the spawn point actually seem to be adjusted. They are now a little bit closer to the objective for the defending team in TT as far as I can tell.@djbon3saterp The area where the defenders spawn in TT is sometimes one objective away from the current area, for instance, in Turning Point, where the Bombegrante is being pushed, you tend to get spawned one area away from where the action and the payload currently is, so it can be annoying. I think you may be right, that sprinting is the reason that you get spawned quite a fair ways back. I still think that attackers seem to have a spawn advantage somewhat? 🤔
@ippig Oh good, I was unsure whether they seemed to have changed in general or whether it was just my imagination. I feel like the spawns are closer than they were before - will do some games of Turf Takeover and will try to report back to see if I notice a difference again or not! Although, PopCap don't want to buy the respawns too close because of the sprinting mechanic! 🙂
