DM server bad settings

[Meridian]

Hi,

I just want to share my opinion on 2 very bad settings on CS:GO deathmatch server.
1. Silent respawns
2. Too long protection respawn period

The first is randomness friendly - so it better suits for unaware, less skilled players.
The second is abuse friendly - again, too much time for a player to get aware of his surroundings - suits less skilled players.

If you can argue, that everybody has the same conditions and therefore its fair - this is an invalid argument, because we could set no sound for everybody - certainly it would be fair, but would it be enjoyable ?
I think these settings criple the joy from gameplay.

thanks for the feedback,

I'd love to hear from GEO as well (which currently holds the management of that server)

Hey Meridian and thanks for the feedback. I will take a look in to the settings as soon as i get some time. I do remember turning the spawn sound off though. The radar already gives away your position when you spawn as an enemy and therefor i thought silent respawns would help a little bit. It didn't, so i increased the protection time since otherwise you would just die over and over again.

Unfortunately the "spawn with friendlys" setting only works part time and i believe if i can get that to work fully i can remove both of your requested settings.

I will try to fix it so everyone is happy when i have the time to do so.

You´ve got some friendly attitude, guys - i appreciate it.
This is just my subjective view - maybe the majority of players prefer it this way.
Majority of respawns are in "friendly territory" and i dont think you can eliminate completely some of the respawns "behind enemy lines" - but when this happens, the respawn guy has free frags (nobody can look at radar nonstop) - i just prefer the chance to react to respawn sound - but either way it will be very difficult to balance these settings - too wide skill range and preferences of players to be accounted for.

We appreciate your feedback! Anyways, i changed the spawn protection time from 2 to 1 sec, hopefully this will help.
However the respawn time is tricky, I played some on the server just right now and it seems some respawns makes a sound and others doesn't.
I will look in to it tomorrow though and hopefully fix it!
