Why is respawn counter so damn long

I watch the respawn counter 10 times longer than I actually play, why is this damn thing 75 seconds long? I end up just Alt-Tabbing out and watching TV.

I haven't seen a respawn timer longer than 10 seconds.

Same thing for NWS except that it doesn't reset.
whenever i notice someone in a pug dying too much, i just leave.
[12:44] Vessel One of Two Unimatrix 01 deals 1019527 (1157678) Kinetic Damage to you with Plasma Energy Bolt Explosion.
Yep that is why the increased timer to try to get people to be better by not want to go a long time without doing anything wile waiting to respawn. It is a good thing I think.
Time gets a bit long after a few deaths and it's annoying. But to compare to WoW where you have to either ghost back to your body or have someone rez you it's not that bad. Try dying in a WoW raid... there's 1 or 2 rezs allowed for the whole team, after that you get to be a spectator till the fight is done.
They should just make it a standard duration so it will be less frustrating causing people just to log out and play some other game.
Seriously though, people respawning over and over again, throwing themselves right back at the enemy without any clue whatsoever, only to blow up again in ten seconds... you'd think the increased respawn timer would give them a moment to re-think their... ahem... strategy.
Counter does not hurt the team; people who die too often, do.
As if leaving doesn't hurt the team.
They *do* take a moment to think.. and then post on the forum to complain about the timer being unfair. Sigh.
To state the bloody obvious: if you're dying too much, try and figure out why: then fix the reason.
I hardly ever die; and I'm usually flying a Vesta. Not saying I *never* die; picture CSE: Borg Cube still in aft range (when I wasn't paying attention), and BoP in fore, both getting a Critical hit on me with heavy (or invisi-) torp, you sometimes bite the dust. Sh*t happens. But I'm usually amongst the last one standing. And that is nothing special really.
So, let's leave the counter 'as is,' and hope ppl will find other ways to fix their prolonged absence from the match, other than crying foul.
Space, I die by being extremely overwhelmed or by a critical hit. Unless I decide to solo the gate and that's a 50/50 for me... heh. But when I was starting, I died a lot because my shields and armour were not up to snuff against the borg. then I got weapons, shields and armour designed to fight the borg. My death count went down and my kill count went way up.
agree!!!!!
the problem is not the game... the problem is you(bad player), that is dying a lot
I don't believe reducing death penalty is the answer. Where's the fun in that? Where's the challenge when there are zero consequences to TRIBBLE up? Rush in, shoot, blow up, respawn, rinse, repeat. If mistakes are never punished, there's no reason to get better, no reason to come up with a better strategy and the game may as well just play itself.
Things that come naturaly for geeks often elude average people.
Usually if shown a geek mechanic an average person can get it thereafter.
However that would prevent the geeks from lording their vast and important knowledge over the average person. You never know when advanced MMO game mechanics might save someone in the RW. :rolleyes:
I would suggest searching Youtube for video tutorials of the missions you are interested in.
Fortunateley the same hubris which makes people lord their l337 skills over new comers also drives them to post their missions on Youtube.
Tell me WHY I play STFs again?
Agreed.
Death penalty isn't harsh enough. Start it at 30 seconds and go from there, and that's coming from someone who spends 90% of his gameplay in a glass cannon with no hull heals.
Because they are a good source of dilithium, very easy, and very quick.
Improve your build, stop running in pugs, and be happy.

Leaver penalty is 1 hour in public STF queues, no exceptions.
Leaver penalty in private queues is non existent.

The only thing I've seen the increased respawn timer encourage (since it was introduced) is to push people farther towards requiring a one-man army mentality. Now, I respect the ability of players (in any game) to look after themselves, move out of the fire, self-heal etc, but I think it has actually diminished the capacity to engage in quality inter-dependent teamplay in this game, particularly given the transience of the LFG system.
Instead of encouraging a team to help one another, people are chastised for not helping themselves. I'd rather see an acceptance that a team will do better working together than as separate entities (at least in what I want from teamplay experiences). I'm saying I think things have gone towards the other extreme, where we are NOT playing as a team, but a 5 individuals. In which case, whats the point?
Oh that's right.... BNPs, Omega marks... free dili....
Boy.. I'm glad I have a Risian Corvete with the Mk 12 Borg set and plasma weapons....
