Ever consider this may happen when shooting in the largest town on the map? I have heard of bugs where all the zombies spawn at once in a location..

Rocket is trying to make a game which is difficult and time consuming, CORRECT, you nailed it. The only reason has said that he wants to add features to facilitate grouping is because of everyone defaulting to banditry and everyone complaining about this. He never said he wants to make the game easier or less time consuming. Lets give some examples which have already been given. You want to group with your 'friends', yet you seem to have died, again. So now you want to find your way to them so you can play together. Lets take a second to consider where they could be. If they are on the coast, as seems to be the case every time you die. This is the only case I can think of that using this "mechanic" would help you meet up with someone quicker. Even still it may not be quicker, as you may have to use the respawn many times to get where you want. Again, this is the only time that this might help. I find that if you have a location you wish to get to the fastest way is not loot every loot spawn on the way, in fact do the opposite and avoid loot spawns all together. This may add to your total travel distance but you will not have to crawl/crouch to avoid zombies and hence can move faster. People have commented about the half an hour run to go to/from Cherno/Electro, I personally can probably swim through the sea between those two towns faster. Another scenario could be that you have died and your friends are not on the coast. Which case the only option is for them to be North, yes they may be West or East of you as well. Respawning in this situation will not save you any time as you will not get any closer as you will always spawn on the coast. If the people you want to meet up with want to meet up with you as bad as you do with them, they would make their way to you as you venture toward them. Respawning in this situation would only make things take longer as you will not be moving towards them and they will not be moving towards you, because they do not know where you will be. I have now covered a couple scenarios that may occur after a death. With that said I do not believe the respawn button is a "mechanic" and I believe that's why Rocket took it out. It was already part of Arma 2 and was never intended to be a "mechanic" in DayZ. Also, I will point out a fact that I'm sure is well known by everyone here, Death is final. Death in this game is not meant to be easy to cope with or, "not a big deal". You are supposed to feel like you lost everything when you die, including any friends you were with. Now for a scenarios that most of the people against the respawn removal probably never thought of but I will pose it to see if they think this would have been a good or correct use of the "mechanic". Lets say you were roaming around in the North with a group, does not matter where, but you had to log off. Does not matter why, maybe you were tired, maybe you had to eat dinner, maybe you had RL plans. While you were logged out the party you were with continues on. Then someone brand new to the game joins and wants to play (Or maybe just imagine that one of them died). The group decides they will make their way to the coast to meet up with said person and show them the ropes and maybe give them a few extra supplies they may have. Now you come back on and find that you are all the way up North and your group is way down South. My question is, would you then use the respawn "mechanic" to teleport yourself closer to your group? If so, maybe it was a mechanic and should have been left in the game.

He's "On the Coast" alright. Rule #1: Don't get attached to your gear. If you don't want to die I suggest crawling your ass to the hospital, I know a lot of people that wish they were in Electro with a broken leg versus somewhere far away from Electro/Cherno and a hospital.

Call me crazy but I personally would call it lazy to spam the respawn button. I think you have misunderstood what Rocket is trying to make here. He is not trying to make an easy, quick game.

This thread is full of gold, and for a change that will not affect anything. OMG this game is hard I will post a rage thread on the forums. FYI, there are plenty of other games where you can choose your spawn or have a set spawn, this is not one of them. If you don't like the game just don't play it, it's that simple. Can always count on ZDB for some good laughs :) You, sir are contradicting yourself and have found the solution to your imagined problem.

Thanks for the video Ace

Ya my last death was climbing a deer stand only 5 minutes after joining the server. Suffice to say I did not scout the area and mr. makarov had a half a clip in my back and then the other half in my front by the time i turned around. That was a good deer stand spawn for him :)

Someone got there before you and left there food they didnt want. Meat doesn't spawn.

Sounds like he fired after he started getting chopped.

So your second encounter should let you know you handled the first one correct. If you have a chance/feel safe. Feel free to call out, but most like they will respond with Im friendly only to shoot u later.

Boom boom boom? Like nades? or gun fire? Many people go to Cherno to loot and/or hunt. I dont know why there would be no zombies.

So if you had a vehicle and you came across another one.. you'd just leave it right?

But then we couldn't share our beans over it

Sorry I troll sometimes too :) yes name calling is the definition of an insult, I thought, could be wrong its been known to happen.

I'm bored at work and laughing at trolls passes the time nicely. Cause calling people names is not insulting.

Is this your 'Welcome Back Thread'? If so, Welcome Back!! We all missed you SOO MUCH. Funny, I bet he originally left after he died and just forgot to post his QQ, I quit thread.

yeahhh.... U know that vehicles don't disappear when you log out right? Someone else can just come along with the last wheel and drive it off while you are logged out. Thanks for the PSA though..

OMG SO MANY NOTIFICATIONS

Well I would try the Survivor HQ unless you want to get shot when you meet whoever posts here..

These are not the beans your looking for..

Also, WTF people can become your friend and you don't even have to accept their friendship, they just automatically get to be your friend for all the world to see. Nonsense :P

Don't be. I haven't used Facebook in over 3 years. Move along, move along.

It's a vital feature required for the survival of humanity. Imagine if Facebook didn't a like system. All the idiots out there posting up their bullshit would have no idea if anyone cared about the stupid shit they post. I can only imagine the devastation and destruction that would ensue. Same thing here.

I got a notification that someone has given me beans in this thread... WTF i don't have any beans :( I'm going to bean myself to boost my self-esteem.
