Why is it that assaults ALWAYS spawn in the corner of the map and facing the wrong way?

Also why are the 3 lances so separated where they are literally screwed on some maps? For example on Tourmaline desert one of the lances spawns ~ 1km away from 2 enemy lances. Usually that lance dies first because of this problem. The spawn locations are so bad you spawn further from your friendly team than to the enemy.

Fix the broken spawn locations please.

Get your obvious logic out of here you reasonable person!

But yes.. you are right. If confirmation was your pursuit.

It just makes no sense why the slowest mechs in the game get thrown furthest away from the battle as possible.

Yep. Or just have the lances an even distribution of mechs like they used to be, instead of lumping all the weight classes into the same lance.

Assault lance spawns at the farthest point in Alpine? FML...

I see these posts alot.

I approve of every single one of them no matter how many threads get started on the same topic.

The spawns need to be fixed, and this is coming from someone who usually runs faster mechs and can take advantage of isolated assaults.

[Tripzter]

Bump. Still not fixed.

Bump, back up to top.

I would dearly love to see the old, single spawn point return! Let the six spawn points per map remain, but put all 12 Mechs at a single spawn that is randomly chosen. That would add a bit more to the scouting role for Light Mechs since you really wouldn't know where your enemy is. Just let Team 1's spawn be randomly selected from the 6 available, and then let Team 2's spawn be picked from the remaining 5. They may spawn within rock-throwing distance of each other or on opposite sides of the map.

I bet it would go a long ways towards utilizing the full map too!

[LordNothing]

also spread them out a little, im tired of having to pry myself off of the afk to get going.

[Tripzter]

Back up to top, still not fixed.

[Tripzter]

Bump, back up to top, still broken.

[Mech Jager]

Not as bad on some maps, but on larger maps it adds insult to injury especially on Alpine.

I would be OK with just identifying which maps the slowest mech should not drop at on spot and keep the other 2 random

[Yozzman]

Agreed, they need some real fixing... Slow assaults get ****** so bad because of this.

[Tripzter]

Daily bump, back up to top.

[Tripzter]

And bump.. PGI get your crap together..

[Tripzter]

Bump.

[WrathOfDeadguy]

They've managed to provide reasonable, closely-spaced spawns on Polar Highlands- the largest skirmish/assault/conquest map to date- but not on Frozen City, which is one of the smallest.

Reality disconnect much? Immediate rendezvous with team on the one map where we actually have time to regroup after spawning several minutes before enemy contact, but not on the maps where we often don't?

Silly.

[Tripzter]

Big problem is they need to go back and fix the broken spawns. Again tourmaline desert is a perfect example.

The south lance has to go through open space about 1500 to 2000 meters just to get to cover or a safe space while 2 of the enemy lances have a direct shot at you from cover. If you go completely around you'll get left behind and get ambushed anyways.

Still broke devs.

[Chuck Jager]

Some maps/modes need slowest 3 mechs at closest route to center of map, especially in pug.

Blitzing some poor sod that you know is newer or in a trial mech is easy enough.

[Tripzter]

Bump.
