Increase respawn time

[ToasterDiagramm 62]

There must be some time between respawns. People just don't value their ingame life enough. They keep on respawning until they are finally on the position that they want to. Lame! Life is especially not valued since you have nothing at the beginning at all. There should be some consequence!

Here is a story that shows what happens due to low respawn times:

--------

Yesterday I played on a night server I saw two guys scavanging Elektro with some flares.

I was on top of the firestation and proned. I only had a flashlight and some magazines. When I saw them I tried to establish communication. There were Zs around my building and the flares would have shown my position for sure if I tried to escape. I wanted to check out the situation first.

Turns out they are bandits. They shot a guy in front of my eyes and didn't answer to me at all. Also they were actually three guys.

Since they didn't answer and shot a guy and had no idea where I was, I started to mock them a bit via chat. I couldn't go anywhere and that was my way of passing the time. Watching them and leave some nasty comments in chat.

One of them dies. He keeps on respawning until he is in Electro again. By the time they got an idea where I could be. Since there where a lot of Zs and that they didn't had an idea if I had a gun or not, the fresh respawned guy climbed up to my position and "tested" me. There was no real risk for him, because there was nothing to loose. The other one had something to loose after all.

So they noticed that I had no weapon. I tried to escape and got shot in the head by some other guys.

This wouldn't have happened this way, if there was any consequences for respawning too often.

Next time, stay strapped.

Yes, the devs know the respawn is too fast they're working on it yada yada. But really, if you had kept your mouth shut you'd be alive so there you go. Justice was served.

Of course it's justice!

Think about it: If my life would be more valueable, I wouldn't have dealt with this situation that way too. I would've been more carefull as well. This is not whining over my death.

One char per hour would be good I think. Right now it's just HURR DURR

Don't try to communicate with people KILLING OTHER PEOPLE. Especially don't mock them if you are lacking a weapon.

If I had been you, and I knew death was coming, I would have gathered up all those zombies and lead the pack straight into the bandits. You still would have died, and sure the bandits could have lost aggro or even flat out killing the zombies, but it would have been funny.

In this case, even if there was a respawn timer, the other bandits would have came up after you, it would have taken longer, and they would have still killed you. The difference was who came and how long it took, your death was assured when they discovered your position.

Sure. I also think that there should be more consequences for disconnecting on purpose. Nothing would have stopped me to get out of this situation by switching the server.

Of course logging out for the whole day (because I want to sleep and stuff) would have been okay. It's hard to find a balance and to distinguishe legit reasons to disconnect or to switch servers.
