Cooldown Discussion

[Elsker]

Hello there,

Recently, the suggestion for a cooldown was accepted and implemented in the most recent update:

Accepted - Job Cooltown Timer

Simple suggestion: Every single job on the server, including rebel, should have at least a three-five minute cooldown. It is jaw-dropping that individuals can return to their jobs within seconds of dying. There has to be a cooldown. Thanks!

However, after independently testing the cooldown with another CP I discovered that the cooldown is only 15 seconds, apparently:

Untitled - Clipped Garry's Mod with Medal.tv

I'm going to assume that this was a simple, honest mistake. However, if the cooldown was set to only 15 seconds, which I doubt, then this must be changed-- there is no debate on this. No user, not even rebels, should return to combat that fast. The original impulse didn't even allow this and combat, as it currently stands, is way too consistant and quick. Please set the cooldown to somewhere around 3-5 minutes.

DISCLAIMER: I recognize that in the test I performed it was a CP vs CP killing, so it could be that it was coded it to where there was no cooldown if a CP kills one of his allies, although I doubt that this is the case.

for me the cooldown is 1 minute

I could be totally wrong about all this, which I hope I am btw. I'm not claiming that I am 10000% sure about this

im pretty sure its because it was a cp on cp kill

Even so, a minute is pretty little at least in my opinion- and the original suggested cooldown was 3-5 minutes, which I feel fits better generally.

I think for Donators the Cooldown is 15 Seconds or so...and for non Donators it might be longer, idk...overall

I'm very NEUTRAL on this one.

while i do agree, imagine staying for 3 minutes on a black screen, i think about a minute is fine, but i dont think donator should get a lower cooldown, thats ruin the point of the feature in my opinion

Misunderstanding, we are not talking about the period after death where you're staring at the death screen. We're talking about the cooldown to switch from your citizen character back to your combine character after death.

oh my bad, then yea i would assume something like a minute could be reasonable, since you have the time needed to gear up and such
