This Has To Be Said by ViolentBoo January 3, 2015 at 4:01 AM UTC

Quints lost it's glory...

I remember this map as one of the best maps in the game. Now every time I play that map it's me praying "Please don't spawn kill, please don't spawnkill-" OH look what everybody on the opposite team is doing. And no don't say "Oh it's not spawnkilling it's kill farming".

It's the same fucking thing, you are only doing it 5 blocks away.

Sure they can just build above or around it. But then some assholes think it's cool to block every path way around for us to have the hardest time to leave. 

Remember the monuments, of course you don't no one goes for them anymore on that map. Like, I can't stand that map anymore. This is probably the most fun maps on the server but no one plays it for the actual objective anymore. Sure there are a lot of other maps that have more diamond, but it's just that the map is so confined and "small" (not really that small but for comparing how many diamonds per area it's a lot)

It's annoying. Can we do something about this.

Agreed. However, what some people don't realize is the amount of paths you can take to leave your spawn. Most people just get killfarmed and either rage, or leave.

kycrafft January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

8 seconds of strength 1 when you spawn. Fixed?

Numberz_ January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

I know its BS most mods do it too. I think that map should get removed/add spawn protect.

ViolentBoo January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

Sure? I think there should be more to this though.

smitdalt January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

Just take out some of the dia in the chests.. Like only chestplates and swords. Bingo we are all good

BourbonBonobo January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

+1 smitdalt, I honestly think the diamond armor and kill farming is a bit of a joke sometimes. I want the armor removed!

Stimulating January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

I feel like the only person who rushes on this map...please have less dia or give resistance/strength for a while after leaving spawn. 

+1 to Smit and ky

Very well, time to work on Quintus.

TheTNTPotato January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

I was actually going to make a giant thread (and you know me, when I say giant, I'm serious) debating this. I 100% agree, it's just a major loophole to the spawn camping rule.

Stimulating January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

Very well, time to work on Quintus.
PLEASE DONT REMAKE IT. Just take some of the suggestions into consideration.

With it's awkward build, it's best to remake it. Can't really stop this without doing so.

Porkyyy January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

I agree with you 100%.
This would literally happen every game, and it's very annoying. Either let one team spawn with some time for "spawn protection", or reduce the amount of diamond armour in the chests.

JKawesome January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

Very well, time to work on Quintus.
Please do not change the layout of another McZone map. Just remove some of the diamond, like Smit said.

Gundham January 3, 2015 at 5:01 AM UTC

I won't touch the map, I'll play with the YML

Nonono. Don't change a classic imo. Just maybe change spawn rules and boundaries. How far away people can farm from the spawn.

Noooo!!!! I demand no changes!

smitdalt January 3, 2015 at 7:01 AM UTC

Noooo!!!! I demand no changes!
You would ;o
It wont be the end of the world you'll have to find a new way to killfarm if you are so persistant

Doppelganger_ January 3, 2015 at 7:01 AM UTC

I feel like this is the case for frost bite as well......

Big comment so bear with me


Agreed. This is why i dont even bother to play Qunitus anymore but im glad its being fixed im tired of getting killed in spawn and im also tired of the people who is saying 

"oh there couple ways out you know" or " deal with it" or "rpeort the spawn killers"

i have had enough of that bougus. In case you havent noticed people, this map NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. Sure there are couple ways out like you can bridge to the side but they can just shoot you off and some players are NEW to the server and we are leaving a bad impression if all we do in Qunintus is spawn kill. Also, how are we supposed to report the spawn killers eyy? I mean you can record and that will help but lets be honest, who records spawnkilllers these days?!?! Like some people cant even record on their computers either due to bad specs or they dont even bother or take the time to. Mods do their best to get rid of these spawnkillers and i apperciate that. its not the mods fault. ITs just that people are so focused on killling and going for the objective and there will always be people like that

And to those people who are truly nostalgic and dont want to change the map, i can understand how you feel. There are old maps in OCN that i dont want being changed. However, this change is necassary because it just kills the fun for people.

I also do not like the people who just spawn kill and /or kill farm and COMPLETELY ignoring the objective. Like there are the monuments and just go for it instead of farming your stats. Avicus is a place where you can have fun, not Rack up your stats

sorry for the big comment but you know, im glad this is said

Agreed and even if you report the kill farmers the mods won't do anything because it's technically not spawn killing.

Sem January 3, 2015 at 9:01 AM UTC

Agreed, I said this a long time ago. Nobody agreed with me though.
It's an awful map anyways, with diamond armor and without.

S3M3L January 3, 2015 at 10:01 AM UTC

I stopped playing Quintus just because of this and the diamonds, something that really annoyed me though was the fact that staff always kept a set or two extra in their inventory. I will not namedrop anyone. If only staff and/or their friends should be able to use the diamonds, then make the map staff-only. It's just stupid. 

Some days before I quit avicus I reported a bunch of hackers, I expected at least one to answer my reports, but nah, they were all busy killfarming on quintus.

Notalgicular January 3, 2015 at 10:01 AM UTC

Uhh, when the other team are just spawn camping you, at least 3/4 of the team are on your side. Just rush  out of spawn (Don't go straight, you'll definitely die.) go left, and then bridge as fast as possible and then go to their side. Because everyone is kill farming, there are little to no defenders, and you can get the monuments soooooo easily.

Well technically, mods don't always have to moderate. They can play too.
Just get a cheap recording software

Sunaye January 3, 2015 at 1:01 PM UTC

I believe Quintus needs to change in one way or another. 
Cause they way it is right now I agree it's made Quintus not such an enjoyable map to play on like it originally was in MCzone.

BoldAndBrash January 3, 2015 at 1:01 PM UTC

Kill farming in the teams main area = some times fine

Underground = always fine


People don't undestand that kill farming on the bridge Is illegal. I made a thread like this and Mooch drew a pic of the areas that are legal and not legal.

If you're saying bridge from your iron supply to the enemies iron supply, that almost never works.

I've always hated Quint05 anyway.

Sevoo January 3, 2015 at 8:01 PM UTC

+1 This map is made for rushing just kf on Frosbite lol

Splades January 3, 2015 at 11:01 PM UTC

I rush on it unless I get the diamond. But I don't really killfarm close to the spawn I just go on the towers or in the midlines.

ballzi January 4, 2015 at 2:01 AM UTC

Understandable it should be fixed. Personally I have kill-farmed alot on quintus, but how fix it? Its like team stack. You can stop it apart from getting a bad reputation towards the Avicus community. And if you are being kill-farmed do something! Take advantage of most of the opposing teams players being on your side. I honestly don't understand why people whine and cry about kill-farm when there is a clear path to ending it.

BourbonBonobo January 4, 2015 at 2:01 AM UTC

Time for quintus 2 maybe?

MangoSmoothie_ January 4, 2015 at 3:01 AM UTC

Thank you for this thread! It was definitely needed. The problem is as well as the spawnkilling (according to the winning team, its called killfarming. ????), some staff do it and staff don't listen to people like me, and they think I'm just a sore loser. As well, the teams become overly one-sided, all the donors will go to the better team, so its like 30-20 in the end. I loved Quintus, in fact it was my favourite map. Now its one of my least. Some improvements should be:

- Diamond Swords & Bottle O' Enchanting instead of diamonds.
- Make a direct route to iron, maybe a no-kill thing? Don't know hoe that would work.

Please improve Quintus! It has great potential, but right now it is terrible.

Yes, referring to my Teamstacking forum post: http://avicus.net/forums/3af138c08
