To the people using a quadrant method rather than a safe zone method, do you ever take portal spawn AoE damage? We found it was very difficult to spread out until we use the center of the platform as a "debuff only" zone. So at any given time up the top, you would have a people in 3 different catagories:

~7 people standing ontop of each other in the middle with the Exhaustion. (or more, if another lot of people just popped up top)
~7 people spread around the outer ring ready to take the next portal. (or zero people, if their portal just happened and they took it)
The melee. Some with, and some without exhaustion. They spread into two groups in melee range.

This leads to NO portal damage, ever, which was something that was hurting us on our first few pulls. It also means that it's very hard to fuck up the portals. If you see one spawn and you dont have Exhaustion, you take it no matter what. Typically the max amount of time anyone spends up top is Exhaustion-length + ~10 seconds.
