Yet Another Close Spawn

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,587 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 Ambushes have been an exception for the entire time I've been here (since June or July). The enemy will always spawn OUTSIDE your placement circle, but otherwise you don't know where nor how close.

*Diablo Vash* Initial Drift Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 548 Joined: Apr 29, 2007 I'm pretty sure there is no limit on how close they can spawn, as darth said we have had them spawn inside the circle, me and mike had them spawn 10 meters from us. All luck of the draw really. ......................... vet raceL1 marshal wv Posted Nov 16, 2008, 7:03 am

*JD_Basher* Gearjammers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,728 Joined: Feb 11, 2007 Quitcherbitchen about close spawns and use better scouts! If you have NO scout or one under 40 skill.... The chances are higher that you will spawn closer to the enemy! ALSO......... Look at WHERE you spawn in the purple circle... It will give you a hint where the enemy will appear!..... Did you spawn on the road?... More than likely they (enemy) will spawn behind you. (Ambushes and Bounty hunts don't apply to my "road Spawn" theory) ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Nov 16, 2008, 7:08 am

*Diablo Vash* Initial Drift Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 548 Joined: Apr 29, 2007 JD as darth said we had a 252 scout and still got guys spawning in circle, so scouts mean nothing to me. ......................... vet raceL1 marshal wv Posted Nov 16, 2008, 7:33 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Ambushes actually use predefined spawn locations, which are often closer than what you'll get from a non-ambush. In the screenshot your own cars are well over to the left from the road: this makes me think you repositioned them there yourself? When you make a decision to move your cars far over to the edge of your spawn circle, you're basically taking a gamble that you know where the enemy will be. It looks like you got it wrong in this case. If in any doubt, keep your cars centred. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 16, 2008, 11:58 am Last edited Nov 16, 2008, 11:59 am by *sam*

Got to have better scouts to use them (the only one I've ever gotten over 40 is in the hospital with a missing leg).  There's not much other way to raise scouting than actual travel, so I send new scouts on the Elmsfield/Somerset/Gateway runs.

More than likely they (enemy) will spawn behind you. (Ambushes and Bounty hunts don't apply to my "road Spawn" theory) I've spawned on the road doing 30mph and had enemies appear ahead of me plenty of times.  If there's a relation, I can't imagine it's very high.  In fact, almost every time I spawn, it's on the road.  The only times I can think of not spawning on the road were a couple of scouting missions.  Or were you thinking only of scouting missions and not travel? ......................... vet northernsummer wv0,1,0 Posted Nov 16, 2008, 1:11 pm

There have been suggestions about prosthetics of some kind to improve activity levels for characters with missing limbs, but nothing has been mentioned about them being implemented. The effects of catastrophic injuries are detailed in the wiki. ......................... vet wv community Posted Nov 16, 2008, 6:14 pm

I was wondering. 15% activity loss for a limb isn't as much as I was expecting. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 16, 2008, 8:16 pm

Sorry to have sounded so 'snotty' in my reply to you. I prolly should have added a smiley to show it wasn't meant as harshly as it came out..
