Shore bandits

havent been at the spawn for a couple days, but i have never seen this problem nor heard of it in chat It's bad for me, but the experience bell curve is at play. You're likely playing on a different server, spawning in a different place. On the server I was playing, I died at least twice last night before fully loading in. I was dead before I could take my first step.

Don't let anyone fool you by telling you to group up. People are stupid, VERY stupid. In general, of course, but never underestimate the power of noobs in a group. The increase in Zeds have made grouping more of a liability than a necessity. If you must engage some Zeds, find a good rooftop.

There is no answer for camping the coast other than this: Call of Duty noobs. Spawncamping with a sniper rifle is the quintessential game exploit of every CoD faggot out there. There is no realism involved in the slightest, as no bandit, given the situation, would know where players were spawning from. In any "realism" situation, a bandit would not be camping out on a tower waiting for players to show up just on a whim. It's not real, it's being a prick, plain and simple. It's a total perversion of PvP and survival. Bandit patrolling the road on the coast, THAT would make sense, but not hiding on a tower and waiting for players to teleport in. Bandits that camp the coast because they think it's funny should go die in a hole, as they do nothing but make DayZ look bad. Anyone that thinks it's realistic obviously loves camping themselves. Plainly put, Rocket's got to get his act together and figure out what to do about the spawncamping exploit, because soon that's all the game will be about. All these cool stories are about before the mass popularity, but now we have LOTS of assholes to deal with.
