Fixed how? Still able to spawn there if you died in it, or from outside of it (I hope not)?

I would be happy if hard spawns were no longer an option but soft spawns (Sunderers, Beacons, etc) remained. Much harder to hold on but perhaps enough to keep the fight going for a bit if you really wanted to do so.

Last November in 24x7's Discord we were told that Construction would be getting looked into by Drew and that he was aware of builders concerns - this included taking another look at structures, walls, repair values, modules etc. Drew was adamant this would be a thing and to be patient. Not long after the instant action podcast released a segment where Drew talks about it. Nick Silva also told everyone during a Dev Stream we would be getting a Construction Facelift after the "December" period where Drew got to look into it.

Time passed and as we begin discussing it in Discord around January - Drew said some REALLY unprofessional things to not only myself and others in Discord's gen chat but to my members in private messages as well. Stuff that would get you a vacation or a word with the boss in any other industry. This time again we were assured Construction Facelift was still a thing.

So here we are now...nearly 7 months later and still no Construction Facelift. If ...

Limbo?

u/Wrel It's been nearly 7 months since we were promised a Construction Facelift from the Devs via Discord, Dev Stream, Podcast etc. DBG has avoided the question multiple times when asked on the stream when you would follow through with said promises.

How about giving us all here some insight as to why Construction has been ignored? I could just start posting Drew's Discord comments and/or private messages he sent to people in my outfit via Discord...which besides being a PR nightmare for DBG won't solve anything.

Severe underpop (10% vs 60%/30%) has also been causing spawn lockout. From what I understand it’s because they are keeping people from being “farmed” or something.

Might be important information for you guys since OP found a way to fix the bug. Possibly a step in replicating it.

First of all, thanks for this post, its good info, and people were waiting for it.
Can you sai something about the Elysium Spawn type? Why did the binding option got removed? It makes building a base completly usless when i can not spawn there once i left the base for what ever reason.

Please do reenable that. I think per-faction population caps would prevent problems with not being able to reinforce an imbalanced fight, and removing reinforcements needed has shown how big a problem that actually is.

It's not that you've misdiagnosed the problem, it's that you (in the initial version of the post) were sticking to the idea that we shouldn't let you spawn in those fights because it would become a pop sink and take away from balancing the rest of the front line, and you were going to consider penalties to those attackers in the hellzerg.

My assessment of the new system and battle flow is that even with reinforcements needed still in, the system WAS working well to distribute pops and improve fight quality. The offensive spawns to help spool up fights was great, and the inability to spawn hop to overpop a fight was also very reasonable and limited that defending advantage.

The tone of my reply was that you had an entire paragraph on the subject but concluded only small tweaks were needed. I would challenge the hypothesis that these pop sinks would ruin the distribution of players along other fights. I also think when you state "That means relying mainly on squadp...

Is it intentional that attackers cannot spawn at cutoff territory? I know defenders aren't supposed to be able to once a territory is cut off, but neither can attackers, which sorta defeats the point of cutting off a territory.

So now you have to get roped into a zerg platoon and mute all the voice spam if you want to keep spawning into a 96+...

More likely is that we'll want to go the other direction, where we're more harshly penalizing players in imbalanced and overpopulated areas, even while in a squad.

I get the goal here is to make more fights, but do you want to do that by practically outlawing the game's unique selling point?

Cool, sounds like that'll solve the main concern in this thread.

I think the misunderstanding here is that many people, myself included, read the above paragraph as "well its a drawback but that's how it is" and not as "we wanna do something about this issue"

Originally posted by Vindicore

Soooo is there anything in the pipeline to fix this? Reinforcements needed reworked?

Shouldn't the maximum capacity be calculated per-faction rather than globally?

It sounds to me like the issue other comments are describing is that all factions in a region contribute to - and have to contend with - the same single population limit. Why not just have separate limits for each faction, so that one going to 96+ doesn't prevent the other(s) from spawning in?
