Or spawn randomly in the entire map.

or spawn over the place you are and leave the same

Entering the middle of town from outside is a bit unrealistic.

"Guarding a Perimeter" has to have meaning.

Make mercs have to wait for "I have arrived on map" signal from a spawning character.
(Some kind of flag broadcast on arrival that has to be in "True" state for a merc to "see" you.)

As for players- so what?

Defenders have advantage guarding a point.

Hate preview with a passion.  The paralyzed, invisible for a few extra seconds sounds nice, as you shouldn't need more than that.  Now, I understand some have longer load time than others, but catering solely to that is wrong, though the theory is nice. 

Then again, I'm sick of this WM camp and wish to return to my scout-killing roots. "Hey, that guy looks suspicious... KILL IT!"   ahhh, Modoc, how I miss you so.

It was more "KILL IT !!! Hum, was he looking suspicious? Yeah, I think, let's say that."

I'm sorry, you weren't part of Modoc militia, who were you again ? Oh yes, the big people who always stuck their noses into the small affairs of others trying to enjoy their stay there.

I was one of the Cajuns, who alongside with VSB was trying to make modoc miltia life a bit easier...

Back on topic: Shooting scouts is easier than shooting someone sitting on WM spamming their Preview button to magically spy on everything in viewing range while remaining untouchable before moving in en masse to steamroll everything.  There is the added danger of falling into a trap, but alas, thats something which is prevalent anyway so I don't see why this hurts any while removing those magical armies from the Worldmap ether.

Oh yeah, you could say that, "the noobs will get pwned!" but alas, they are going to get their asses handed to them anyway by militia, sniper pk, or a merc swarm anyway so I don't see how this effects that too much or is a valid arguement.

Sorry but who are you when you say to others "You wasnt in Modoc" or whatever. In second era Modoc was FULL of people.

What is wrong that someone have a bit longer loading of preview? I thought that purpose is to-know-what-is-on-that-spawn

[Gatling]

I said, "You weren't part of Modoc militia", not that you 'weren't there', because frankly there were lots of pkers going around fighting other large pk groups at the time. I was there in Modoc rather often in past, not on GM name, of course.

[Kilgore]

Modoc was special because it had only one working spawn, so without preview, no one could scout you unnoticed. It has ended long time ago and it's now just like any other town.

sadly yes

And you forgot a respawn very close to the city

[Kane Sun]

That was because it was a preventure of gridcamping and was like 8-10 seconds long to let you run out of the map again (only in towns/fixed locations). This is rather for avoiding death in the time where your screen is either "Loading" or black.

I think a "youre invisible, immortal and paralysed for 1-3 seconds" is ideal to prevent such exploiting/abuse.

I got gridcamped my second day, thats serious bullshit. i was dead as my screen loaded..
