Title: Spawn camping
Post by: h_twenty on August 04, 2013, 07:23:30 pm: We've all seen it. No matter where you go, there is always that one douchebag who likes to spawncamp. Donors on Trading Hell don't have any restraint, so they'll spawn camp until everyone leaves. I know they're supporting the server by donating money (or keys, which can be sold). But still, chasing away potention supporters is actually counter-productive in the "keeping the community alive" sense. I'm not asking for godmode to be removed, I'm asking for a new rule. No spawncamping with godmode.

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__MNwzaYaeA&feature=youtu.be

Until the no spawn camping rule is enforced, however, best you can do is push them around as a pyro, taunt lock them with a huntsman, or get another donator to block all of their fire using godmode.

And report it here. Major offenders will probably be taken care of pretty quickly. Trade Hell is supposed to be for trading, not playing. So the points and dominations don't really matter to most people. Though I do agree that a certain godmode asshat can ruin the experience for newcomers and veterans alike.

Yeah, that'll do it. Are making it to where it only works if a player gets near an opposing spawn?

Correct.

Actually, thank you Voidy, I can now airblast donors on the other team close to my spawn, and then kill them, causing them to rage.
