Yes, I'm so arrogant for believing you wouldn't abort from a server if you thought someone was hacking.

Of course you won't. You need to keep reminding yourself that you're just that fucking hardcore at a video game.

It's true. You're all that way. I'm that way. Difference is, I don't go on forums and try to make myself look like a "MLG H4RDC0R3 DAYZ P14Y3R" by saying I've never aborted in a tough situation. At least admit you do it. If not, I guess you can continue to attempt to make yourself look cool.

It's funny because EVERYBODY aborts when they're getting shot at. Yet, they get pissed at someone else when they do it. You guys are fucking hypocrites.

Hey. I know a lot of you are having trouble not spawning conscious. Lucky for you, I have a very simple fix for those still having trouble. Here's what you should do to fix it: 1. Start Arma. 2. Go to Profiles in the main menu. 3. Select your default profile (the one you had when you bought Arma). 4. Join a server. 5. Disconnect. 6. Change to your custom profile. 7. Rejoin any server. After these steps it should work. Mods, if I seem to be posting in the wrong forum, please move this thread. I couldn't seem to find a good place to put this. Thanks.

This is a much better alternative to respawning. Let me explain... The player gets to pick a general area on where they want to spawn, such as Cherno or Elektro. In these general areas, there would be 10 (there can be more or less) spawns spaced out in different areas along the coast of the general area to prevent people spawning in the same location. The specific spawn would be random. For example, I would pick Cherno as my general location, but I could spawn at Cherno spawn #1, #2, #3 and so on. This would eliminate the need for the respawn button so players can meet up with their friends with a minimum hassle. This would also raise the performance of the databases even more than before since players won't generally run into zombies to respawn because they can't meet up with their friends. I believe this would also bring a good chunk of the players back to DayZ. I, for one, have friends who used to play DayZ but will not play if this problem isn't resolved (me included). A lot of people quit DayZ since it was a major pain in the ass to get to their friends. I would like to think everyone would be happier if the respawning was more like this.

Meh. I'm not really ragequitting. Just taking a break until things become more convenient. I expect these kind of things to happen, but I most certainly don't want this to be permanent. Which, according to some of you, it won't be.

True, but I'd hope that people would spawn in different locations and not just Cherno and Elektro.

Didn't see that. Well, I hope he adds it soon. I'm just not going to play until that update comes out.

Just in case anyone is interested in realizing that there is a much more efficent way of respawning, I made a thread in the suggestions section. Read it before you start getting all bitchy. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48738-a-better-alternative-to-respawning/

Couldn't agree more. I'd rather have a laggy game than an inconvenient game.

No, Rocket has been fucking up DayZ by buffing the zombies, taking away your starting weapon (slightly understandable), and now this. Who knows what's going to happen next? The thing with the respawn button is that it at least provided someway to reach your friends without having to take half an hour to reach them. Honestly, there's a simple fix to this... Just make it so you get to choose a general location for where you want to spawn. For example, if I wanted to spawn around Cherno, I could spawn at Cherno spawn #7 or something like that. It's still a random spawn. I could very well get Cherno spawn #3. Pretty much, just a random spawn around an area of your choice. That way, all parties are happy. Performance issues are solved and everyone gets to meet up with their friends. It's not cheap by any means. A person still might have to walk a little while to reach their destination. It just wouldn't take forever to reach them. That's why a lot of my friends quit. Doing what I mentioned would be a much better system.

Because this mod is becoming an overly-realistic piece of shit. There's a fine line between realism and having a good time.

Well, time for me to quit playing DayZ... along with the rest of my friends.

So where are we supposed to discuss updates that are going to make a lot of people pissed off in an attempt to remove the bad feature in that update before the update starts rolling out?

Realism is great, but only in moderation.

Yeah, man. Fuck the idea of actually having a fun zombie simulator! Let's make it incredibly unpractical to play this mod just so more and more people will quit playing! Fucking incredible idea, man!

I am just so sorry I don't feel like reading 93 pages of you guys circle-jerking over how cool Rocket is and how you want to have his children only to find one page stating what you said.

Am I the only one who thinks DayZ is going to become unplayable? I mean, there's a fine line between realism and having a good time. I've already had enough friends quit DayZ because it's becoming an overly-realistic simulator. Having the respawn button disabled is going to be a bitch. It's already hard enough to get to where you want to spawn as is. Personally, I think we should be at least able to select a spawn. Then (and only then) I can deal with the respawn being disabled. Why aren't we able to pick a spawn? It would make the mod so much easier to play with friends. Which, let's face it, most people do play with friends. I believe we're only delaying the inevitable. Some people are just going to run into a bunch of zombies so they can respawn. That's what I would do...

Yes, of course you can kill yourself and lose all of your equipment in the process... It's not something I would do, though.

Damn... I don't know why this doesn't work for other people. It sure worked for me.

Hey. Right now I'm looking for a highly active group of bandit players to team up with. I've only played DayZ for a few days, and I may need help with a couple of things here and there. On the other hand, I'm a very dedicated player with some decent equipment. At the moment, I need the following for my group: 1. Navigator: Someone who knows Chernarus from the inside out or has the equipment to lead others to a certain destination. 2. Medic: Someone who is willing to carry a lot of medical supplies. 3. Sniper/Scout: Someone that attacks at long range and scopes out areas of interest. If you're interested, please make sure you meet the following requirements: 1. Has a mic and Skype. 2. Is willing to take one of the roles listed above. 3. Is willing to be a team player. If you meet the requirements, please send me a PM telling me your desired role and roughly how many hours you're on DayZ in a day. Finally, I hope I can play DayZ with some dedicated team players. Thanks for reading.

I see. That's weird. The fix seems to work with me.

This would be so badass. +1

Hmm. I'll add you on Skype when I get back home tommorow. I'm at my grandparents' house at the moment. Also, does your group have assigned roles and how much are you guys on DayZ? I'll consider joining your group. The offer is still open, however. PM me if you're interested, guys.
