Ok well, The first idea is pretty interesting and i agree something should be done about the spawns, But Spawn killing isn't gonna be going anytime soon, If you drop from the sky in a parachute everybody will know where you are and they can simply shoot you down but this time you're unable to defend yourself, If the parachutes are not player controlled they will all land in the same generic spot, The same spawn killing etc will occur as before apart from now with the spawn system you suggest everybody will know exactly where you are and you will be just shot out of the sky before you even get a chance to set foot on the ground, If they are player controlled everybody will do, As you said: Land in the spot they died/land near there group OR they will simply redirect there direction towards the Cherno Airfield or the NW airfield or something, I Think that if you place a parachute in the game every aspect of Exploration is violated, because everybody knows where they are and where they should be going, For the second one i don't really like the idea of choosing what you spawn with, I Think adding a Compass and a watch to the starting gear is a good idea, But if you add a map then the whole exploration aspect for new players is ruined, The Map,Matchs and such are alot more common now to find anyway, And also if you do choose your spawning gear i believe that would ruin the survival gameplay for dayz, What me and alot of other people probably agree on is that DayZ is very popular because you have to work for what you get, If you're to lazy to Search a couple of towns/houses for a Map/Torch then why are you playing a game which is built up on the fact you have to go search and find all of your gear.. I personally hate the credits idea thing, i just see it being Farmed with ease ((Killing yourself,use credits to buy a shitload of makarov clips then repeat)), If anything the game needs to be harder, Its unbelievably easy to get back to where you previously died, Once you respawn, Find a near-by town/city road sign, Go on a arma 2 map on google and find where you are then go in the direction to where you died according to the map, You have some good ideas and Fair-play to you, But it won't really turn out very practical :/ ((My response seems like i'm just being a prick and shitting all over your ideas but in reality i'm just trying to be realistic as to how it can be implemented :S, Hope you won't take any offence. :)))

Supported, The current system is kinda clunky since more and more people are starting to write storys but posting them all on 1 thread kinda makes it feel like nobody is really interested and that they're just humoring us :(
