On one of my characters. Not because of technical issues but because of the damn Volge. I respawned and three Volge were there blasting away at some other poor slob in the same boat as me, wtf is that all about?
Of course I died very quickly, respawned, died very quickly, respawned etc. etc. It's completely stupid how they firstly are allowed to pretty much camp the spawn spot and secondly how mobs continue to attack a player that is down. What if anything is going to be done about this?
Not sure where your spawning at, but I know the Volge at the emergency in front of Iron Demon can be pulled over to either the spawnpoint, or the front gate which is the fast travel point. Its annoying but since Iron Demon is a popular hub (in our hubless game) so there are always fresh targets popping up to keep the volge entertained, so once you pull them there they can stay. (note I said PULLED, they dont wander to the spawn point on their own, they are chasing someone)
Its annoying but not permanent. At least at Iron Demon you don't haver to wait too long before someone comes along who wants to kill volge and the pressure will be off the spawn point. You can fix the situation yourself if no one shows up. If your at Iron Demon, as soon as you spawn RUN,(on PC the right shift is run mode) Hit cloak if you have it up but run. Head towards wither the Iron Demon gates, or back towards the emergency. If you have cloak you may get away, but even if you dont you are pulling them off the spawn point back to the emergency NPC's or the folks standing at the Iron Demon gates. THis should give you a chance to spawn in peace.
It may be annoying, but it dosent last long and its created/fixed by the players themselves. IMHO its not something the devs need to protect us from. (and yes it has happened to me, on Tuesday night to be precise, took 2 spawns but got some breathing room and help and took down the volge, got a blue out of it I scrapped)
It's Trions idea of enemy AI. If you can't make the enemies intelligent give them cheap tricks to make it seem challenging.

Just spawn your vehicle and boost away. You should have enough time to escape before they kill you.

Possibly the most cruel AI design ever, when you've got 3 volge troopers firing at you as you lay on the ground. If you're lucky, usually someone will come by in time to help, but it's not uncommon for players to just drive by while watching your helpless body getting obliterated.Originally Posted by Stuka
Although I can't help but laugh at situations where your help is on the ground crawling next to you. The volge can be a itch sometimes, especially at places where there is hardly any cover. Not to mention there is no cover system in this game like Mass Effect.
It wasn't at the ranch but close to one of the Volge chokepoints on the road. The other player getting wasted likely pulled them there but it is a problem. Simply changing the AI so that downed players are no longer attacked would fix it as the mobs would then reset to where they should be.
