It was the long one in one event one time with Stuart, Heph, Geo and Map in the job (just as a references not contributing factors). It got put to more rounds. Each round everyone drove literally around the map off road. The capture points are both on the same route also so the van is always moving closer. Like actually all around the map on the train tracks etc each round rather than just driving on the road. When testing the job I am able to capture the vehicle in under 5 minutes (closer to 4) so potentially there could be 5 or 6 minute rounds but it’s best to default or 2 with 8 minute rounds. People gave up driving to the van and said they couldn’t catch it because the respawn vehicles were too slow. The respawn vehicles have motorbikes on one team and SUVs on the other. If you don’t like suvs there is always traffic but the Huntley can drive p quick, whack stuff and has good health size. If you’re getting attacked on the road then you have a variety of options but that is your best option to use the van as a weapon as you will struggle to drive faster in the capture vehicle. If you get shot at by people on foot though. This is just general feedback I’ve noticed and only my opinion which people can disregard. We always do the same thing and try and ram them with the capture vehicle only to discover they’re stood on a rock or something. Then blame the job creator lol. My own personal feedback is I’d say you don’t actually need to kill random players running around in the capture vehicle. You can drive away from them or make yourself a harder target. Like hold X and weave etc. You can basically hide behind the front and side pillars as they get a shot at you. People would use all their ammo trying to shoot through a tiny back window, and there’s a bulletproof backboard so you can’t see the driver from behind. So a lot of people were on foot which is still a good option. When trying to take the van, the driver is on an elevated seat so you can see the whole of the driver through the side windows, which is in the job text but no one tried that. The front window is quite small and the hood/bonnet section is p prominent. Nature of the situation is one team tries to hold the van for a 4/5 minute route. Then other team has to steal it in that time period. The job has gone well a bunch but the time you recall was p awful tbh but I seriously don’t feel like it was a design element. No I have no 25 minute rounds in any job or any LTS with over 5 minute rounds. I wish I could do shorter rounds with LTS on the settings available

this is a stream of the footage, mine being the first job in the list at around the 9 minute mark. Sorry to use Geo as an example because I feel he’s been very sympathetic to me mentioning this stuff, but notice the rant he makes about the respawns at around 9:30 min (as if I didn’t take in the same carbon copy rant the first time I heard people say it, it was said again tonight even) Then after the rant he respawns again but is immediately next to the Van because it’s on the way to the capture objective. Still continues to talk about needing 5 years to catch back up even though he‘s close enough to actually see it. I do actually time how long it takes to get to different areas and map the routes they take to get there. Here you’re meant to just drive on the road so every surface was covered except the road. Then I get told well you shouldn’t expect the players to be so scripted. Dude, why would you drive to everywhere except the one place you have to go? That’s the only way you’d even be away from any of the actual areas to go.

Then in my current capture job everyone drives dune buggies on the road, complains it takes to long to drive what could very easily be a much shorter straight line (some of you have actually tested the job with me even and sat in a vehicle with me driving as the crow flies also). Then everyone remembers off road is a thing when the job is almost over, rzas says I bet it’s a 25 minute round. If everyone’s taking scenic routes, and dying a lot by parking next to enemies and opening the door onto them whilst being shot. You can get out the car slightly less in gun fire, then hide behind something etc. I’m not like upset but I would be actually happy if you can see from my point of view there isn’t really much I can do about that stuff
