Hi all
Want to keep this short as possible and to the point, just want to say loving the game as an alpha so far.
First issue which I want to raise is the server I play on Tribes seems to have quite a few griefers who like to raid people but don't like it when it happens to them. A trick they have now started using is spawning from inside their foundations, also setting up loot boxes inside so no one can get to them.
Another trick they like to do is when raiding you they will spawn inside your foundation and play loud music over in game chat to annoy you.
How do they do this? From what we experienced last night they place a sleeping bag close to your foundation and spawn inside.
This issue brings me to my main issue with the game and that is sleeping bags. Being able to have 600 sleeping bags and being able to spawn to them is ruining the game. I don't want to accuse this same group of duping however from what my friends and I exp last night and many previous nights this sleeping bag issue mixed with the ability to have unlimited weapons ready to go on the respawn is borderline cheating.
What this group does is before they raid is place sleeping bags and hidden loot around the place so if they get beaten they have the ability to keep respawning near your base without penalty. They get a guy to spawn in your foundation to blast you with music and turn what should be an Adrenline pumping game feature into crap, to the point where you just log off because all that's happening is your getting griefed.
The same group seems to have unlimited C4 and weapons on respawn so in the end your bound to lose your stuff regardless.
My first suggestion to combat this is have it so it's one sleeping bag per player. If someone wants to waste theirs near your base then that's fine they have to wait 2 mins each time to do it. If they want to glitch into a foundation then they can stay there until one of their buddy's kills their bag.
If you want to raid and you kill the occupants and get their loot then great you were too good and deserve the reward. If however you are out gunned then you lose your stuff and the defenders are the victors.
Really hope this sleeping bag abuse gets resolved because it's killing the game IMO. Interested to hear of this is happening on other servers.
They are working on fixing the sleeping bag glitch.

Look around to look at what they're doing.
Ok thanks for the link.
There is no mention on limiting the amount of sleeping bags I really think this also needs addressing unlimited respawns defeats the survival aspect.
Edit to clarify it needs to be one sleeping bag per person keeping the 2min spawn timer

Hell no.
One sleeping bag per person is exaggerated..

Ok then it needs to be can only respawn to any one of your 600 sleeping bags @ every two minutes. The fact that you have unlimited respawns is unbalanced.

No just the simple fact that they took a lot of time to do they're base and a lot of time to do the sleeping bags. You on the other hand cry on the forums because you cannot be bothered to do such.

It's not about crying. If that's the way it's going to stay then that's what ill do. To me it just seems like a silly idea in a game about survival. If you don't see it then that's fine but being able to respawn unlimited amount of times in a game where death is supposed to be a major thing to happen takes away from that. Thanks for your constructive criticism though you have really added to this discussion.

I think dex has a very valid point. You accuse him of crying??? I dont see that at all.
It makes no sense being able to respawn that many times throughout a fire fight in this sort of game. Its a survival game meaning that if you run in stupidly and get your self killed you should be punished for it. Being able to spawn back where you have placed a few sleeping bags to continue on with the fight in a matter of seconds should not be allowed and in my opinion is ruining the whole experience.
We spend alot of time making our bases and when you kill someone who is trying to raid it you should get a feeling of victory but at the moment you dont because its just a relentless stream of naked men running at you with mp5s and m4's.
How about you guys add something constructive to the conversation instead of just trying to shoot down the OP to make yourself feel important..
Please look at the sleeping bags as they are a real issue.
