Sometimes Don't Spawn at All

[borrowed.s0ul]

How come not sometimes spawning is considered a mechanic in this game?
Stupidest design decision ever. It's such an aggravating feeling when literally everyone spawns but you. Why even have 20 players if not all of them spawn? Why does the game pick a few odd men out just to be a♥♥♥♥♥♥ There is literally no point to this.

Shhh, it's okay, just pray to rnjesus and you will spawn every time.

Because it would be unfair when half of the server would be chaos.

So uh... How is everyone spawning not fair? If you ask me it's more unfair when literally everyoe spawns but you. Don't get me wrong, I get the whole concept of surviving and keeping the consequence of death real but this is just tedious.
Also wouldn't chaos be the point? A mad escape by convicts and scientists while two warring factions claw for them while a bunch of monsters run amuck? That's kind of what I thought I was going to get coming into this.

Everyone could say that "Why did he spawn and not me"

It's not about just you. If 15 people spawn as chaos the all other teams other than Class-D are completely dead and unbalanced. Imagine being an SCP and theres 1 last Class-D infront of you, and then 15 Nine Tailed Fox spawns. How would you feel? Probably like posting a thread on the Steam page complaining about it.
TL;DR 7 player max is a feature to keep the game balanced.

I mean honestly if you aren't used to the long spawn times yet then I would recommend trying to do so. I feel like I recall someone saying there's a percentage chance of you spawning, but I think it depends on who most recently has died. I notice if I join in, those who die after I join are more likely to spawn in than I am. I missed 3 spawn waves after joining, the same people who died after me were spawning every wave if dead. I think it needs more balancing, where the longest dead have a greater chance of spawning.

It's not about the spawn times but more about not spawning at all.

It's still stupid just to leave people hanging like that based on chance, then why not set max players based on that instead of leaving odd men out?

Like I said suggestions of spectator is off now. It took a lot of convincing for the developers to stick what they have with the spectating mechanism. Give credit to Sir Ratman and Szavak they see as adding gimmicks to the spectating function a unfair gameplay and they see there shouldn’t be a role for spectators. Everyone is supposed to enjoy their time as spectator so...sorry but you can’t make any suggestions about it. Just play annoying sounds during spectate and you will probably have fun.

The game is still undergoing development, and is still in a young stage. You'll just have to accept it or not play until a change comes about.

I feel like they should find a way for the system to prioritize people who missed out on the last spawn, to avoid the very frustrating 10 mins of sitting around when you miss out on spawning more than once.

If you have a vocal spectator group sometimes i'd rather not spawn and others find talkimg smack in voice is more entertaining than spawning in view of an SCP on the surface ;)

Others don’t though, Some people want to play a game.
