the only problem i had with the force spawnings like the uncharted space was my internet was slower, so i would get some MASSIVE lag just trying to go threw my navi. it would slug down to nothing. then any space i would try to go to would just sit there, or load at the speed of christopher columbus crawling to the new world. and thats if it DIDNT crash out in an error…..which just brought me back the the death trap i was trying to get out of….maybe someone there should realize alot of people dont have high speed internet. some internet providers are slow at the most for some people. and this kind of shinanigans just kills it for them. ….food for thought

I was on in the day of the forced spawn into Uncharted 3, and though I really didn’t care for it, I did not get too disturbed because in the end , it’s only a few button clicks away from where you really want to be. Norse is right, this is a ‘for- profit’ enterprise and that being said, we don’t have to buy, or even stay in the commerce based spawn point, but they do need to make a buck off us in anyway they can. We should feel lucky that this is the most they push the commerce on us. I have heard tell that casinos make it easy to enter but hard to exit. Let’s be thankful Sony has not thought of that…wait maybe I just gave them the idea. Delete that! We still have the power and advantage that if you don’t like the spawn point , it’s just a few clicks and ‘poof’ away and you go to where you want.

Now that I know I will spawn in the last place I went I use it appropriately and go to one of my spaces before logging off. Or if I want to check on something first thing in the morning I will leave from that space and spawn there. it is actually quite convenient at times as it saves a step of navigation. Spawning into the base navigator is all right as well for me for it gives me a choice on where to go.
I didn’t mind the other spaces much when they were used as I just bounced out to my Harbor space most times to change, but the Hub can be an issue because it is well used and can be a bit laggy.
Nice article Norse and something that hasn’t been talked about much.

The first time I heard the term power users was by GlassWalls on the forums. An interesting term thought I but of little importance to me, at least at the time. But that’s neither here or there. I sure hope no one thinks power users are better or more important than anyone else. GlassWalls didn’t say that and neither does the articles.

As far as spawning, I have a right to like or dislike where I spawn and to speak about it. And that’s all.
I did not like at all spawning in the Hub. My preference is my preferred home space where I can bathe and change to proper clothing if I choose.
The navigator option is probably the option all the way around for everyone although while surprised when it first happened, spawning in the last space we were is more than acceptable. I just have to remember to log off in the Log Cabin by the lake in Finland.

Default spawning to the Navigator is alright by this Homeling.
One time forced location spawning is a non-issue.

I don’t mind spawning at the last space i visited, but I miss spawning at the personal space as we used to in the Harbor studio, I did like the system we had going for a while where we spawned at the navigation menu. If i had a choice though i would opt to spawn at whatever default personal space I chose. But this current spawn system works ok as well i just have to remember to travel to my default personal space before i sign off. Just an extra step but not a big deal.
