-Se7eN- 874 Posted August 12, 2013 Hello all. So ive been quite excited about this change for some time and im quite glad to see it finally make a appearance in the mod. I really like the change, the way its going to work (From what i remember) is that you wont spawn exactly at the location given, but within like 1-1.5 k for the location you selected, this could be a nice way to stop coast spawn death-matching for the people who don't want to be caught up in the death-match, now you have the option to spawn in places like Solnichniy and Kamenka, to avoid the fire fights. Im also quite happy to see that Berezino has been added to the spawn list, as i think its kind of an unused town. Also from a server Admin perspective i like this change, this means less server lag from people throwing themselves of buildings and adding bodies to the server. What are your thoughts on the change?

kitfoo@yahoo.com 13 Posted August 12, 2013 Didn't they do this in Origins? Sounds like the idea's already been done and the main mod finally caught up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarniwoop 1193 Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Basic Spawn limits. Each spawn location has a group of spawn points ranging upto 1500 meters.Each group has a neighbor spawn group. (Does not include random)Each spawn group has a timer to allow new spawns. (Does not include Random) (Settable by admins)If you die in a spawn group you will no longer be able to spawn in or within the neighbor group for x amount of time. (Global Limit).Limit spawns by the amount of players in the spawn group.Random will always be open. This is very basic run over. If you see an issue shout and thanks for the feedback. This is basically how it might work. At first I thought it was a terrible idea. Starting to warm to it slightly with this info.

-Se7eN- 874 Posted August 12, 2013 Didn't they do this in Origins? Sounds like the idea's already been done and the main mod finally caught up. I dont think they "Finally caught up" at all, bare in mind that origins is based off Taviana, and that map is far bigger than chernarus, they wanted to see how it would work in chernarus first seen as the map is smaller.

rn_max 202 Posted August 12, 2013 One to cross off the DayZ bucket list, perhaps vehicle part removal and fuel siphoning may still be in with a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Se7eN- 874 Posted August 12, 2013 One to cross off the DayZ bucket list, perhaps vehicle part removal and fuel siphoning may still be in with a chance.Fuel siphoning was actually in the dayz code of 1.7.6.1 but it just wasnt activated, and in 1.7.7 that code was removed, so i presume rocket disapproved of it =( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowjack 254 Posted August 12, 2013 not a fan Perhaps increase the number of spawn points and keep them random. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M16greengecko 10 Posted August 12, 2013 Just a question.. does "random" randomly spawn you at one of the options to spawn at or anywhere on the map? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted August 12, 2013 They could just add more spawn locations. I think it's a horrendous idea. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted August 12, 2013 Adding a few more random spawn locations would be cool, some up in the far northern edge of the map or near crabby little villages in the forest . Keep you guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted August 12, 2013 I did like it, but I now hate it. It's like the devs actually think I'll be able to decide between Elektro or Cherno. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spawning away from the cities (in the middle of a random forest) is exactly what Rocket needs to do to get that "Disorientation" feeling he keeps preaching about. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hetstaine 10852 Posted August 12, 2013 Yep, remove the text and throw people into the middle of a forest with a bandage and some painkillers. Done :) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted August 12, 2013 Spawning on the beach is a DayZ iconic moment so for that reason only i would like to see coast spawns only. However the odd, low percent chance of a spawn in the middle of a forest would be a nice touch. And like Mr Hetstaine says removing the text would be a great addition (subtraction?) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted August 12, 2013 I didn't say near NWAF or Stary, did I?The point is, if you get a random spawn, you'll most likely spawn closer. So I'm suggesting making the spawns close to the coast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maldorlevr 37 Posted August 12, 2013 The one thing I request is a "Random" button that spawns you the same as we spawn now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
