Death when the game starts

This is just a way to get you to the map, I assume they made it this way so that it causes less lag. It does not count towards your KDR.

 

At first, it was death when the round started.
Then they removed it and added a VERY quick auto-respawn.
Then the auto-respawn suddently would not work anymore.

 

1.7 Packet Protocol changes, we haven't updated to those yet.

Teleport causes just as much "lag" (none at all)

 

OFFTOPIC: You're not mod anymore..?
ONTOPIC: Teleporting CAN couse lag, think about having to load chunks

 

It still has to load those chunks either ways (death or teleportation)

 

You're right..

 

Something similar happens to me. When I "block glitch" in the spawn and die 2 seconds before the game starts, the death is counted to I start off 0-1. I was trying to copy joey since he respawned faster than everyone else and had a good lead over other people. I never have seen a change in this at all, saying that when I was war mod (November 2012) the way of getting into the map was always the same. When I rejoined this server, (roughly 1.7.2) it was still the same "3,2,1,0" and you die, and respawn into the map.

 

Some players memorize where the respawn is and don't lag at all

 

Your supposed to die when the game starts. Its how they teleport all players to the map, and if you're wondering, it does not count toward your deaths.

 

Everything has already been said.
It doesn't count toward your KDR (thankfully), and doesn't count towards your total deaths as well. It would be pretty cool if the server just teleported you there, but it stopped working last time we tried it.

Guess we'll have to stick with this method.

 

This doent add to your death list

 

Why does this matter so much? It barely does anything to you, and doesn't count towards your kdr. Why does anyone care?

 

This has been a part forever. It makes sure you dont glitch and lag, etc.
It is also a way to teleport you to the map which may cause lag when teleporting a lot of players at once.

 

I understand that this may be annoying. However, I do believe that there is an auto-respawn mod and it's legal. It may not be for 1.7 though, if you happen to look this up, please inform me.

 

They did this because of a good reason. Have you ever seen people in spawn with different colored armor or with guns? They glitches those into spawn and if you didn't die when the game starts, people would be able to glitch guns and armor from spawn into the next round. For example, non donators would be able to glitch a crossbow and a raygun into the next round if they knew how to do it.

 

it turns you to the game :V
