There's a number of times where they make perfect sense for a really good arc. However, their lack of Front/Middle/Back placement can be problematic to our Architects. What I'm going to attempt to do is get together a list of outdoor maps and suggest the addition of a specialized spawn point to the currently existing map OR to change the "alignment" of a spawn point that is already there. Harnessing the power of /loc and /whereami, I believe we all can contribute to this. I think a decent template would be:
Map name:
Current map spawn point alignments:
Preferred spawn coordinate(s):
Front/Middle/Back alignment of new spawn point(s):
Spawn type:
Reasoning:
The last one may be the biggest key since there needs to be a valid reason for picking that point. Spawn type is in case this is for a clicky, boss, escort, etc. First up...
Map name: Nerva -> Primeva /whereami V_Outdoor_Nerva_Primeva Current map spawn point alignments: Front and Back are listed though the minimap only shows green for Front Preferred spawn(s) coordinates: 1816.5 22.7 1419.7 Front/Middle/Back alignment of new spawn point(s): Back Spawn type: Boss Reasoning: Primeva is incredibly linear despite being an outdoor map and has an area that is quite distinctly an "end" to it. This spawn point is on the pyramid/monument at the end of the map so there is a rather specific placement for a boss instead of just being anywhere. This is doubly noteworthy since most of this map's spawn points are in the water so it cuts out emotes a boss and the surrounding spawn would have.
Map name: Nerva -> Primeva /whereami V_Outdoor_Nerva_Primeva Current map spawn point alighnments: Front and Back are listed though the minimap only shows green for Front Preferred spawn(s) coordinates: 1860.5 24.5 1444.7, 1883.7 24.5 1421.9, and 1859.5 24.5 1397.4 Front/Middle/Back alignment of new spawn point(s): Back Spawn type: Collect an object Reasoning: Same as above but for clickies instead of a boss
Map name: Nerva -> Primeva /whereami V_Outdoor_Nerva_Primeva Current map spawn point alighnments: Front and Back are listed though the minimap only shows green for Front Preferred spawn(s) coordinates: 1229.3 12.3 1719.4, 1662.4 10.5 2253.5, 1632.1 71.4 2028.6 Front/Middle/Back alignment of new spawn point(s): Middle Spawn type: Free a Captive, Escort a Hostage Reasoning: The first two place a hostage near the mine entrances midway through the map while the third one places them on the rope bridge suspended across the river
Our beloved outdoor maps.
