Another tip, although it not always works: try bringing TNT and place it around the egg while you mine it, it won't give you or your teammates any damage/knockback, and sometimes the enemy runs away (most of the time they don't though)
You could bring a few extra obsidian with you to wall off you know your opponent has the kit.
Yeah, even more camping for obbi. great.
-1. The point of Eggwars is that you get to respawn: delaying it devalues your egg and makes it basically useless. Getting to respawn and attempt to stop someone from breaking your egg is a vital part of the game, and if you aren't stacked enough to take care of someone who has nothing and their egg, you should stack up more before attempting to siege. The respawn is part of the strategy, and a delay would significantly devalue the game altogether imho.
The problem is, they can hit you but you can't hit them due to that stupid spawn protection. That's why I suggest removing that one instead of adding a respawn timer.
Still the same thing. Just push them off the edge to buy yourself a few extra seconds or build additional barricades.
At some maps "just pushing them off the edge" is kinda impossible. Not only fairground, as
@Gainfullterror explained, what about maps like Aztec? Good luck with that. (however it's way easier to break the egg at Aztec because the egg is pretty far away from the spawn. By the time they arrive you could've easily broken the egg, still, at some maps "just pushing them off the edge" just doesn't work.)
But if you camp and die then you will keep getting more time on the timer.
@Gainfullterror is there a way to reset your timer?
How about killing someone? every time you kill someone your timer gets divided by 2.
No, because it would basically make rushing impossible, because the very moment you die once it takes a while before you are back.
It's not like the respawn timer is going to be 1 minute -_-.
I mostly play treehouse and kingdom, which means the egg is quite a distance away from the spawn location
Yeah, on those large maps it's not really a problem, but on some maps the spawn is almost right next to the egg. I suggest removing/reducing the spawn protection instead.
I don't like this because its a legitimate strategy to try to kill people on your Egg with fists.
I've won games before in that situation.
Therefore, I don't think a respawn timer should be added.
It's kinda unskilled since you are immune for like 15 seconds after you respawn, meaning you can hit the attacker but he can't hit you.
TLDR just remove the spawn protection instead (or make it really short, like 1 or 2 seconds)
