Here's one of a Plar beaming me from spawn while I'm at the Relic objective platform. Is this intended? I hope not.

Players should not be shooting range spam or healing from up there, neither should ranged builds below be able to spawn camp them.

    with how small the BG maps are i would agree that it would make sense to add a "sanctuary" type buff to the spawn areas for the reasons your suggesting

    spawn camping the people in spawn
    camping objectives from spawn (until it kicks you out)

    the "kick out from spawn" timer also probably is too long too, maybe 1 minute instead of 2 would help that

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    feel free to stop by and use the facilities

    1 minute is also way too long. 10 seconds is sufficient.

    i dont know if i would make it that short, depending on the group it would just be feeding people into a killing machine if you were slightly outmatched

    need to give people a little bit more time to get their bearings, and organize and jump down, so i wouldnt make it less than say 30 seconds

    Why is there a timer at all? Seems counterintuitive to have content so bad that people would rather stay on the platform than engage in the content. Fix the cause of the problem not the symptom.

    A mercy rule to end lopsided matches early would help a lot, that's often why people are staying up there. But players still shouldn't be trying to cheese ranged attacks from/towards spawn zones.

    Agree. There should also be multiple entry spots so spawn camping is less of a problem. However, just staying up there wouldn't be a problem if..
