The "Please Return To Spawn" Glitch

[GermanScientist]

I've recently had alot of troubles with this glitch. It's where players in a deathmatch gets struck by lightning and told to return to spawn even though they're already there. It's made me loose battles before and it just did again. I'm inside the spawn circle and by a good amount.

This glitch is getting on my nerves. It's just not fair!

I'm playing on the EU servers. I feel like it happens at least 50% of the time across all the EU servers i've played on (1-30) i really hope that you guys are working on fixing it.

It's not a glitch at all. When it says that, move closer to the crafting table/corn chests

This was my idea the devs implemented, basically to stop runners, every minute the radius decreases, to force tributes together.

I guess that's not a bad idea but in my opinion there has to be some sort of visualization of how big the circle is.

I also think it shouldn't become too small because in my opinions players need to have a chance to dodge and outplay each other and have time for a snack if needed.


Right now without any visualization it really seems random. Plus i've stood as close as 5 blocks to the middle and still gotten struck whilst the other player standing further away than me didn't. Doesn't always seem to be working very well.

I got struck when standing in the water of the fountain in Survival Kingdom whilst my friend who i had teamed with up until deathmatch was standing on the edge of the fountain. I got struck but he didn't.

I don't think the deathmatch zone should shrink unless there is a way to visualize it.

The radius for the lightning strikes decreases slowly during death match. This was a feature requested by about 99% of the MCSG community as the most frustrating thing is when someone just runs circles round spawn all death match and having deathmatch just time out. By reducing the lightning radius over time, this gives time for players to arm up, have a big fighting circle etc, eventually forcing you to fight. I will mention something to the developers regarding visualising the lightning radius to see if it is a possibility.

it's not a glitch, you have to get closer to the crafting table then!

Maybe you died because there is a height radius too. I'm not sure.
