VS Special Infected Quick Spawning

[Rifleman]

I've only noticed this happen to me once while playing infected, but I've had many other people point it out when it happened to them.

Recently, post patch, the infected will spawn about 10sec after dying, but it seems random when it happens. I've yet to notice a trend. It's also hard to catch it unless you are paying close attention.
I've also seen it while playing survivors. Kill a boomer, then 10sec later there's another boomer. Happens with all infected, boomers are just easier to notice.

Has anyone else seen this happen?

[Zombie Hunter]

what? infected respawn
10 seconds is just how long it takes

if this isnt what your talking about (i hope to god it isnt) then please tell more about what exactly is happening

[Deadly]

Is it a full team?

[Rifleman]

Yeah, it's a full team.

You know usually after you die, it has the little timer count down to when you can spawn again, I'm not sure the exact times, but the timer starts at ~20, but there's usually some time after death and before it starts.

Well, whats been happening is that you can spawn soon as the timer should be starting at ~20

Seems to happen randomly though, sometimes you get a timer, sometimes you can just spawn.

[Damen]

It has happened to me before but after that level the next section was normal. I think some servers are messed up and others aren't.

[Rifleman]

Yeah, at first I thought it was only happening on DA3, but then I noticed it on other maps as well.

I'm thinking Valve just broke something in the patch...

This happens when one or more survivors does not leave the safe room. Once everyone on the survivor team has left the safe room at least once then you get back to normal spawn times.

[Rifleman]

I've been seeing it happen randomly throughout the maps. Not just at the begining.

[yourbadmega]

it happens when the survivors are dominating the map, aka you=suck so you get to spawn faster to hopefully slow them down. The director controls your spawn time, so if you start to dominate, it ramps up your spawn time.

He's talking about when the infected don't get a spawn timer at all so what you said isn't correct. The SI just see that short screen with "You Are Dead" and a quick pan of their body then they're right back into spawn mode.

That hasn't been my experience. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that anyway, feel free to prove me wrong though.

This has only been happening since the update anyway.

This is what I'm thinking it would be too. The director trying to make the match even I guess.

It isn't, I've tested it with friends.

This happens when one or more person never leaves the safe room.

[Rifleman]

I'm not saying it doesn't happen when one person doesn't leave the safe room.

But the time's I've been seeing it, have been randomly throughout the maps, with everyone well clear of the safe room.

[Big J 101]

I've seen it happen when there are still people in the safe room instantly

BUT

I've gotten really short spawn times too soooo i'm guessing that its supposed to happen every now and then to add a bit of variety i doubt valve 'broke' it in the update though

[Stuffinator]

Thats normal! Happens to us since release! One player as a boomer dies, while another player has 5 seconds left to respawn and then spawns as boomer! Happens alot!

[Typhoon808]

I have noticed that on the beginning of the church level on VS, the infected seem to spawn before the survivors leave the safe room. It has only happened about three times but I think its a bug or something.

[SteadyEddy]

You sure it's not the server?

I was once playing on a server where you had less than a five second respawn as infected.

[one of them]

Happened to me and Gforce the other day. We couldn't even move, they kept respawning one after the other. It was quicker than 10 seconds, more like 5.

[Krunktarheel]

This happened to me in Dead Air 3 as well. It does seem to be when a survivor doesn't leave the safe room. Our whole team respawned instantly after our initial deaths.

That sounds absolutely right. On DT4 one survivor was afk in the safe room and I was going into spawn mode instantly after my death animation finished.

[theliberator1]

its happened to me a heap of times, and both teams are full. this is also going along with random team switching between maps. and its on random servers too.
