Ok, this game has 2 problems:
1) This problem has occurred since the game was first sold. When i search for servers, whenever the server has 19 or 20 for their number of players playing, it's a FUCKING LIE. What's up with 19 and 20? 19/32, 20/32, 19/24, 20/24. All of those servers, 90% of the time, when you click for their info, you see that it's either not responding OR it has like 4 people. WHAT THE FUCK MAN? Is there a mod to get the servers to lie to you so you can join and waste your time?
2) This problem occurs after the WAR update. Many servers i've seen (about 7 out of 10) has LONGGGGGG spawning time, around 20 sec. Has nobody bothered to change those on their servers? I play just so i can spawn and just go out and shoot as soon as i die, not wait 20 seconds. Think about it, if you even died 20 times, that's 400 seconds wasted. 400/60 is roughly 6 2/3 minutes wasted. What the hell?

Pretty much but I don't know about the long respawn.
1. That's a fake playercount plugin. Everybody hates them except retarded server owners.
2. That's the default spawntime. It's there for a reason and if you ask me the game becomes near-unplayable without it. I play the game to have fun and help my team win, not to clear everyone off the last point then die when they all come back .5 seconds later.
Fake playercounts are a sourcemod plugin to trick players to the server
Long respawns are working as intended

That's the regular respawn time. Stop playing instant respawn.
It mostly depends on the map played. If you are at the last point on Goldrush, RED will have a respawn time of more than 20 seconds.
posting in a taryl thread
long respawn is actually the normal, un-modded respawn, and only douchebag admins use the fake player count. and there is a LOT of douchebag admins
Solutions:
1. Always right click servers and click "View Info" before joining. Fake servers won't respond or will reveal the true player count.
2. Be patient. The default respawn time works in waves: so it isn't a guaranteed 20 second wait for each respawn. You only wait the full time if you're unlucky enough to die right after a wave of people spawned so on average you really only wait about 10 seconds. Instant respawn makes certain gamemodes impossible.
Respawn times are there for a reason, without them the game becomes an imbalanced mess on attack/defend

1. Yes. This is how I avoid joining retarded servers that think that shit's funny or useful.
2. What? Since when do they work in waves?

Huh. I never knew that, I had always assumed it was a set time, modified for A/D maps. I guess that explains why I occasionally respawn faster than I thought I would.
I love the irony of fake player counts it's supposed to make people come but since the server would be empty no one actully ever comes on as the public doesn't trust servers with a fake playercount.
Don't even get me started on the hijacked re-direct servers.
Taryl, stop whining and get used to it. We all face it.
Also, stop making stupid threads.
