New Rule Suggestion For Infected

Hello, I am Chris_is_crazy, Infected is a really fun game, But it is ruined by spawn camping, Currently it is allowed, At least, Mods, helpers, Regular people, Near everyone is doing it. Its sort of annoying getting killed 40 times every game if you spawn in as the mother zombie, Loseing all those coins is not fun... And knowing the other guy just got 120 coins for just destroying you as you spawn in is not really fair.. Just a suggestion, Make the game worth while to even try again.

 

When you reach lvl 20 there is no point in prestiging since you can kick ass with the iron set

Hard to fight back when you have leather armour and a weak sword VS Full iron armour, and sword, Even harder when they have tons of food from spawn camping, Even harder because you dont get coins, you lose coins, because you are being spawn camped and cant rank up

 

When I'm infected I can kill most spawn killing rank 20 people, its not really too hard. Of course its pretty hard if there is only 1 infected, but we worked hard to get to rank 20.

You haven't actually suggested what this new rule should look like. Any ideas how it would work? How it would be moderated?

 

-1 ew no

 

Same idea as the "No afk" Rule in Infected or ctf, Hard to enforce, But you can say you enforce it, and it will help limit it. It is sort of like the Law, People will break the law no matter what, But just knowing there could be consequences stops 90% of the people from doing it, even if there is no one around to enforce the consequences. If a moderator or helper sees someone spawn camping, they will give a warning, if they continue, they will be kicked. Maybe 1 time maybe 2 times. How ever many warnings necessary. Another easy way to help enforce it, see how many times a person dies in one minute. [From being spawn camped] Make a number that is a little lower than the number you receive from the test. If A = Spawn camper, B = Person spawn camped, C = 60 seconds, And D = How many times The estimate spawn camping deaths in those 60 seconds are, it would be something like If A Kills B > or = to D Every C Than A = Infected. That way if the system detects someone spawn camping, It will just turn them into a infected themselves.. Simple Eh? Pardon my terrible explaining and math, A bit odd day iv'e had and i'm tired. The big point is a simple program that Checks For C Will work well. Recap on the important stuff, Check for C .if C = C+ = A - B > or = to D Check for C. If C = C+ = A = Infected. Any C- = No Spawn camping. I may edit this post later to clean it up. But i just wanted to get the general idea to you.

 

Okay thanks for explaining your idea. I think you have a point, however I don't think making spawn camping illegal is the right solution for the problem. I don't know if it would be possible/too hard to implement your suggestion but other than that it isn't too bad. However, if you get infected through spawn camping would that still count as a death? People could still do it for their kdr knowing that they would be infected in 1 min if it didn't. Also if the people killing the infected know how many times they can kill the infected they could just stop killing them before it hits that amount of kills.
I suggest that instead of making spawn camping illegal it should be made unattractive, making it hard to spawn camp and survive. For example you could give infected armour/buffs/kits. Say there is only one infected. He could get leather/chain/gold armour or resistance/strength/regen or wolf/bat/witch kit. I'm not quite sure how much of what is needed to make it fair, but once another person is infected they would both get weaker armour/buffs/kits (except kits which were bought with coins) until all the infected have the standard kit they have atm. (By this time there would be so many spawn camping would be pretty dangerous)
Yeah I hope that made sense if you have any questions feel free to ask

 

How about a zone that the infected spawn in, and when they leave the zone they can't go back in to it. It's sort of a safe zone, but you can't afk there either.
