New spawn point - @ 10000 feet

[Feral (DayZ) 622]

how about, instead of the 'washed up on shore' back story we have a 'jumped out of crashing plane' back story

when you spawn in you are plummeting towards the earth, you must try to guide your character to a safe landing spot and choose when to deploy the chute.

What about the people who get lucky and land in a city right next to a gun, it's a game breaker.

lol I actually kind of like it....

I've often thought having a hospital spawn point after waking up from a coma, might be a nice nod towards 28 days/Walking Dead.

hardly a game breaker, you could say the same about spawning in elektro as opposed to spawning at kamenka, also if you choose to land in a city you better pray there aren't players on the ground aiming up at you, best place to land would be remote and quiet spot.

The way I see it, no one really has any business on the coast unless they've just spawned ergo it's the best place to dump freshies. :)

As for the parachute spawn thing - I think it would give some players too big of an advantage and you'd have people suiciding for an aeroplane spawn the whole time.

Yeah, might be nice until a bandit with an AK comes in to grab some blood bags 3 seconds after you spawn. xD

What about waking up in a seedy motel room with a stinking head ache and dead hooker in the bath tub?

I don't think what I do on a saturday morning is any of your business.

I can see people being shot out of the air by banditos as they float slowly towards the ground. :lol:

She'd certainly have a few more cold sores at least...

Then more fool them for selecting "float slowly towards the ground on display to everyone" spawn...

Suppose it gives the hero's something to do, "Newbie Air Aid".

like all the beach kills we get now you mean? at least it would be a fun way to go as opposed to running about screaming 'friendly don't shoot, i have nothing you bastard' you could try to aim at them from 5000 feet and have a small chance of taking them out with your corpse

[Feral (DayZ) 622]

also bad spawn locations will become transformed from 'fucking kamenka' runs to the light house into 'hmm, i wonder if i can hit that zed' suicide dives

Great Idea. You would be able to survey the ground for players/vehicles/loot locations.

If you get shot down, they would just be risking their location to bandits and Zeds, perhaps a Hero that would like to take a bandit out. Because after all you are a fresh spawn and have nothing to lose besides a great ride.

As for suicides that would be a problem...

Overall GREAT IDEA wabbit!

Thanks,

Good ideas, Beach, Sky fall, and alsowaking up in hospital. would break the only on the coast approach, I like them.

[slivniku@gmail.com 93]

i see myself landing on the hotel only to realize there is no way down...

should be a very rare spawn though, or even better, like a reward, if you live for a long time in game, your next spawn is "special"

[Sutinen 635]

I think the current spawnpoints are good..

[Tabris07 159]

I can only imagine the clusters of parachutes that would be flying straight for an airfield.

yep and the swarms of bandits scanning the skies above airfields

Or the one troll that doesn't deploy his chute, but dive-bombs the others, causing them all to fall to their death.

[Josh225 129]

I thought it was a horrible idea... Having people parachuting into towns and the like is stupid to me.

[Private Evans 1303]

honestly one of the best ideas I have seen here on the forums so far... :beans: :beans:

We will play this game for a long time and will of course die and respawn a lot. Making this as interesting and diversified as possible seems to be a point that should really get more attention.

I like the idea, but it will only work if there is a section of forest which is a distance from the main sections of the map so players can't glide into the middle of the map- plus keep players from shooting you as you fall.

You know there will be players who will see players gliding down and will shoot at them for the fun of it- it would be bad to get killed before you even get a chance to land on the ground?! lol

Now wait a gosh darn minute, who are you to say where my business is? Maybe i enjoy a lil skinny dip in the ocean under the pale moonlight. :P
