IC should always release into the sewers

robertlabrie · January 26

I have no idea why release drops me in some random base my faction happens to control. I just take the ladder down and go back to where I was. The extra hop increases the chances that I de-sync and quit for the night. Seriously, the sewers should be the only place release sends you. If you want to get dropped at a different base, press E instead of R and choose one.

EDIT: LOL I got desynced while going down the ladder. Gonna go watch season 2 of Landman. RIP ESO.

i actually hate when it sends me back to the sewers on release, because that means i have to sit through 2 loading screens to get back to the surface

i also hate how respawning is tied to flag control too, because if it dumps me in the wrong district, thats still another 2 loading screens to sit through to get back to where i want to be

Does this not mean that your alliance has no districts controlled in which case you wouldn't have a choice to spawn above the sewers anyway?

Right, we're saying the same thing here. If I can't spawn in the district I was in, it's better to be in the sewers near the ladders then on the surface in the wrong district.

yes, if your faction controls no districts, you are forced to respawn in the sewers

there are some edge cases, like if you want to choose your respawn spot but you see one of your factions districts flagged (so you cant manually choose it) if you caught it early enough and just did release, it will probably send you there before the enemies cap it

while i wouldnt agree with your OP that you should be forced to respawn in the sewers, i would agree the sewers should be a selection for manual respawn

personally i wish they would just decouple flag control from respawning so you could always spawn in the district you want to

One thing they could do is when there is no keep of your color on the map -> do not display the option to respawn at district spawn point, that avoids you clicking on it, then the map shows and you have no choice and then you go back to click on release which is a bit annoying.
