Since everyone is on a bugbear about the slave quarters thing, I'm sticking my neck out further by going over the actual glitch. Perhaps then people will understand why I am against roofing until such time as it is fixed.
While on the building roof if you spawn on an officer, (lesser chance of the glitch) or he deploys a beacon (greater chance of glitch), when a player spawns on the spot he can actually spawn inside the building. From this point he can see out of the walls but no one can see him inside, he can also shoot out through the walls while taking no damage.
So, say someone decides to exploit this by going officer, climbs on to roof and deploys beacon. Suicides and uses beacon to spawn and is now inside the building. He now uses his officer kit to deploy an eweb and is thus able to set up a 100% secure killing field.
Yes, i can see how that is perfectly acceptable.
Ok, someone could end up in a building accidentally by spawning on squad leader position, but being a fair player he immediately exits in to the courtyard, right about the time the enemy are running in. he can still see them before they see him and so once again he has an unfair advantage through an unintentioned glitch.
I accept that the majority of this community are good and decent players, but there are still that minority who would utilise it then claim ignorance after the fact. Added to that, there is still that possibility for it to happen unintentionally granting unfair advantages the player involved even if for a small amount of time.
I know that people already use unaccessible buildings to cover spawn beacons by throwing them through windows, allowing their team to spawn inside and exit via windows while preventing the enemy from destroying the beacon. Technically its not glitching and its quite an imaginative use of the maps environment, but some may argue it is exploiting a feature.
@S-guy, I guess no its not exploiting/glitching though being able to hide inside something that protects you from lasers and nades is pretty lame. At least vehicles can be destroyed
If you feel the need to hide from battle then go ahead but kind of takes away the point of trying to focus battles and maintain some sort of action.
Finally, @Ty. Please read all relevant posts related to this topic, even those not in public view. The glitch above is why I think roofing at that CP should be discouraged until it gets fixed, as I have already stated elsewhere. If you think its fine then ok, I know others that do. But IMO allowing continued action of something that can lead to a gameplay affecting glitch opens the door to allowing the use of other glitches.
BTW, if slave quarters is fine to roof because you can access it, and Bestine is fine to roof because you can access it, surely all roofing should b allowed since you can access them with a speeder bike. Specially EST, that should definitely be a roofing point cuase defending team has turbolaser towers to cover it so theres no reason we cant use it. And strapping mines to speeders should be allowed too cause its not the players fault if they dont fall off, its a design flaw so until it gets fixed its ok. I'll post back in a bit with some more.
