Usually when I play games I play them with my friends together, but in DayZ you don't spawn with your friends and It takes a lot of time to find them ( especially for new players ). In my opinion it's pretty stupid that you can't start your survival experience with your friends and have fun instead of running hours and hours in order to group up, also every time you die you need to group up again and that's one of the big reason I quit from playing Dayz I got tired of grouping up every time and running for so long just to play together. So my suggestion is that you will add a system that you can spawn with your friends from stead instead of running all the way to them.
p.s
Sorry if my English is not perfect
