choose what type of person you spawn as.

And you're trying to say everyone else is missing the point?

yes.

this is not about how much gear one should start with.

Thats a different thread.

This is about servers having a another creative tool in their arsenal to make a more unique and realistic feel to the game.

Oh ii hope this is true?

I would love to have an age selector and choose an 85 geriatric woman, with a bad hip, poor eyesight and an inability to eat solid food.

My murderous bandit clan would pledge allegiance to ye.

We'd get our cars and go plundering the coast, leaving dozens dead in our wake, in order to procure yer apple sauce, 'o bandit mother.

I would love to some kinda system to choose who you spawn as and start with different equipment.(and of course servers could customise it)

For instance you can choose to spawn as a civilian and start off with a pistol and a semi working car and a great food supply.

Maybe spawn has a solder and start off with a military weapon and limited food. ( different types of solders like a sniper, paratrooper, infantry man, medic, and have supplies adjusted)

maybe a local farmer? And start off at a farm.

maybe a local mechanic?

only problem i forsee is everyone spawning as a sniper or something stupid but thats where the server admins can come in customise stuff and just take the function out completely and every one start off as a civilian on the coast. for example adjust snipers to spawn with a rifle but no ammo and in the middle of nowhere.

I think would add a realistic feel to it.

the possibilities of having to interact with different players and trading services.

for example; a civilian drives down the coast and encounters a soldier spawn walking could give him a lift and have a solder protection, or could leave him in the dust.

this might be a old suggestion or already implemented on servers, i just started playing a week ago.

might be good for business to.

them long walks on the beach after a death is frustrating for new comers and i think scares people away from the game.

i'm pretty new to this game.

only bad thing about it is i didn't start playing it sooner.

Soldier finds a farm...farmer comes and greets him "Hello, would you want to trade *bang*..."

Civilian meets a soldier at the coast..."Hey Sir do you want a ri... *bang*..."

etc.

just an example. solders don't have to start off with guns.......

were not talking about starting gear here.

I'd be a doctor. Make it seem like I'm helping people when really I'll just shoot them :3

[Mullraugh 1151]

It's a good suggestion, it really is, but I can't see it being implemented

[Sutinen 635]

It doesn't make much sense.. Even if you start with only clothing, the soldier is gonna be the only one with camouflage. If you add that with additional ammo/items and a spawnpoint near a military outpost, everyone is gonna choose that one. Who wants to be an unarmed doctor in bright clothing?
