Declined Doublecross NY - Shorter Spawn Time

[{Ŗîçë} The Asian Invasion]

Hey there Skial community,

As some of you may know, Doublecross NY has been reinstated into the Skial community. Although this is a marvelous revelation, the respawn time on the server is consistently frustrating many of the players and discouraging newer players (who usually die often) from playing on the server. I for one, believe that a shorter respawn counter is necessary to enhance gaming and fun.

Some may speculate that a shorter respawn time would create difficulties in actual gameplay as killing players from the enemy team would be worthless, but the current default 10-20 second respawn time is hindering the overall enjoyment of the game and Doublecross.

"Shorter spawn time means more time for fun," said Lumpy Space Scrub, a regular of Doublecross servers around the TF2 community.​

"I think everyone [wants shorter spawn time]", said Arcanus Goodspeed, a long time frequenter of Doublecross servers.​

​

In addition to better a better gaming atmosphere on Doublecross, a shorter respawn time would attract those seeking a server to replace the KSG servers, thereby increasing the Skial community and its popularity.

In order to reach a compromise between instant respawn which would also inhibit gameplay and the default CTF respawn time, I believe a 5-10 second respawn counter should be implemented.

Thanks for listening,
Rice and the Doublecross Community

EDIT: Apologies for being misinformed regarding the status of the server's quickplay, but if I recall correctly, the KSG servers implemented instant respawn and were still on quickplay. Although I previously stated that instant respawn would hinder gameplay, it would still satisfy the many of the regulars and should be implemented rather than default respawn times.

-1, this will be denied because it takes us off of quickplay

I would +1, but it removes quickplay

You'll lose people to BMG doublecross, so it doesn't matter if you lose people because you don't have quickplay. The ksg doublecross was almost always populated by regulars, which is possible on skial doublecross, but not with long respawn.

Then we'll just replace it with a server that fills.
A server that fills with auto quickplay >>>>> A server that has the chance to be filled by regulars.
Or, just wait for the respawn. It's not that long.

If you want players to dislike and be discouraged from playing on not only doublecross NY, but other skial servers, go ahead, but that doesn't seem like a solution that would work out in your favor.

Who said anything about being discouraged? You're the one giving an ultimatum about us removing spawn times and getting off of quickplay or y'all leaving.
Please read the stickies. If it takes us off of quickplay, it is declined unless it's VSH related.

It there are enough people playing on the doublecross server then it will be changed to fast respawn. If it is done now it will just kill off the server.
