Make it so people can not multibox

I have a had a problem on a server where someone can play and if they die fast enough they can logon with a different character and participate in that battle.  This is horrible for servers with low population.  Totally messes up the balance.

Please shorten the time it lets people join the battle to 15 seconds.

No.

It's fine as it is, especially when I need to change my equipment.


Someone joining late disrupting the balance? I mean, come on. Was it Rambo?

I guess you missed the point. Someone who was already killed in that very same battle can switch to alt toon and join in. Hope this gets fixed asap. You could do a suicide lance attack into enemy straight from spawn and then switch to your inf alt and join in.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

I said no to his "fix suggestion".

And to be honest, people switching to alts to continue playing does not trouble me. They could as well just login to different server.
As for "suicide attack straight from spawn", this can already be solved by players with "look left and right before crossing the street". Basic daily survival guide.

if im right in thinking its 1 min to spawn atm.... then dont you think 15 seks is a bit of a leap ... Especially if its a map u needed to download, i think 35-40 secs would be a bit more appropriate...

tho to be honest i spend most of my time on servers with 10-30 people and i have never seen anyone do this... but then maybe i wasent paying attention

I quite enjoy the fact that I can join a server and have high chance of starting to play right now, instead of missing the 15-sec window during which I may not even be able to change equipment.

I dunno, I often apologize in chat to the guy I headshot across the map in the first 5 seconds of spawning  :o If he can make it back in on an alt, the more power to him. Just gives me the chance to kill him twice and he gets to play more than 10 seconds  :P

I just find having to fight the same character twice EVERY ROUNDS (Miley) pretty dumb.

I discovered it recently when I reconnected to a server. Figured it was probably illegal, and stopped.

I can't imagine how anyone could do enough damage in thirty seconds or so of the round start for this to be an issue.

Notify this kind of behavior to the admins of the servers your are playing on.
