jubeidok 495 Posted June 19, 2013 I think it would be a nice change and a valid experiment for the next patch. Have people start in the north and have to make their way down to the big coastal cities. I'm thinking the Podeba dam area, or whatever it's called. It just makes more sense to me that people would be trying to get to the shore, a la The Road. Sure, there is likelyhood that everyone will just hit Kras then end up piling up in Berizhino, but then the longer journey becomes an even bigger payoff. Plus, I don't think the NWAF will ever be a forgotten destination. And then, that one big town that everyone forgets about will probably become Zelenogorsk. Not so bad.Also, can someone texture the crowbar blue? Good ole, bluey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welch (DayZ) 756 Posted June 19, 2013 I wouldn't mind spawning up north, but if they did have that, it should be where NWAF/Stary/etc is the same distance away as if you spawning on the coast. So really it'd still be equal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBTP 114 Posted June 19, 2013 Random spawns all over the map maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philbottle 430 Posted June 19, 2013 In other versions of the mod, say origins, you can choose where you spawn. There's something special though about spawning in Chernarus with the sea at your back. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Anubis_ (DayZ) 139 Posted June 19, 2013 Have been on a server where you spawn in a very nice way: freefalling over the clouds, then you open your chute and land somewhere, randomly. Cool..._Anubis_ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herrjon 478 Posted June 19, 2013 Wait, there's a Novy Sobor spawn? Are you sure?Yeah, it's a bit of a glitch spawn, you spawn inside the red brick house, I've only had it happen to me once though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terminal_boy 860 Posted June 19, 2013 What's the furthest North you can spawn on the Eastern coast?I've spawned just South of the quarry at Solnichniy before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sutinen 635 Posted June 19, 2013 It also "reverses" the gameplay, because normally you have the coastal cities there so you can gear up and head for the military gear, but now instead you get thrown into the wilderness with no food and you get the weapons first.

spinager 152 Posted June 19, 2013 Why would anyone in their sane mind make their way back to the "coastal" cities, and by coastal, im guessing Elek/Cherno? I would just stay up north. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narwaljunior 18 Posted June 19, 2013 Nah, just make the spawns stretch up the east coast too and I'll be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hetstaine 10852 Posted June 20, 2013 I don't want all of the coastal twitch shooters spawning up here and blowing the fuck out of everything in the countryside, leave 'em in the cities i say ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good ole, bluey.Its ideas like this that the mod developers should be considering instead of adding stupid stuff and doing more stuff to limit player choices. If not this idea, than have it that you can spawn on any of the outer land quadrants of the map. That will force people to visit areas they never go to and will make for alot more variety of encounters. Edited June 20, 2013 by boatie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jubeidok 495 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Or better yet, we can try all four sides. If it works out well, then maybe a system can be developed where servers will cycle through the different spawn sets on a week to week or month to month basis. Imagine starting a life in spawn set 1, lasting a week with your character, then you die the following week. You would then start a new new life in a new spawn set, already giving the new journey something unique. Edited June 20, 2013 by JubeiDOK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool..._Anubis_That I like. Kind of a 'Predators' opening. Sure it doesn't make sense in context of the storyverse, but damn that sounds cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
