For the "respawners"

[mkrrr 3]

everyone knows there is a great number of players just kill there characters by clicking respawn button till the spawn in the place they want to

i think that's not ok

mr. random must pick the place u spawn in - not u

i think rocket must get rid of this

and there's a simple solution

make the time between dying of the character and creating the new one like 3 minutes

so when u die u can create a new character only in 3 (maybe 5) minutes

who will be hurt? normal players? no. normal players die once in hour (or several) and then create new character. that's not a problem to wait several mins

that will hurt the respawn button rapers? yeah. want to respawn in a better spot? ok. sometimes it can take 10+ "respawn" clicks. wait 30+ minutes, stupid kid

btw in COD u can respawn in seconds. u can play it if u want guys

[SoulShaper2 243]

i actually agree, it annoys me when my friends just click respawn.

See, it's a problem with this. Rocket encourages people to play tgether, but give you no option to control this. If we are 5 peopl eplaying together, de don't want to spend 30 minutes just to find together.

[gizm0 96]

Ok fine remove it, I'll just let my self get killed by any zeds/infected nearby

[Jorden 63]

We all hate it, it's cheap and immersion-breaking.

[evotech 0]

Add a option to group or spawn together then and it's fine

[daze23 549]

or maybe give you the same spawn point if you respawn in say less than 15 minutes

but I guess that could cause some issues if you spawn with a zombie or bandit nearby and get legitimately killed right away

@evotech

there is no 'group' concept in this game.

you survive and cooperate with another survivor. you are not a party.

Thing is, it shouldn't bother other people, if i want to play the game and spawn near a certain town that should be my fucking choice. If you want to spawn randomly, then do so, it doesn't break your immersion, it doesn't ruin the game for you and you shouldn't really mind.

Oliva: if you really believe that then you are fukcing stupid. The only reason a lot play this game is because it is a fun game to play as a group with teamspeak.

not sure if troll or someone who is against groups.

[Hostile (DayZ) 0]

so...what, wait 3 minutes for new respawn or run for 40 minutes to the place you wanted to spawn.

I don't see much of a problem with choosing here, even if it means 10 minutes of waiting.

I want to play with my friend now, not 40 minutes later, when I will be going to work in next 20 minutes.

[R71 (DayZ) 5]

Make it like planetside, the faster you die the longer the respawn. If you have not been killed in a while it goes back down

well obviously if given the choice people would choose to spawn near items. I don't know about 'breaking immersion', but it would make things unfair

So I'm fucking stupid.

I only play this because I can play with my friends on skype, but one of the best parts of the game for us, is to make our own way to find each other while trying to evade zeds and reach good loot spots.

rofl.

nor troll neither lone-wolf-against-groups.

Read above.

Respawning when you want of course should be part of the game, how is it immersion breaking when if a person wants to die the could decide enough is enough, suicide is a classic in zombie movies. Obviously suicide means the end but this isn't a 1 life game

I would like the option that if players want to group together quickly they could all start new characters near together on the coast, a player who wants to keep their gear obviously has to make the travel to meet up with his friends.

The game is about cooperation and grouping at its core, single players can't do it alone and if ppl want to play with their known friends instead of randomers then that of course is fine

Why can't I be in a party?

In the same vain that rocket says he doesn't mind online maps of the game because that's just how it is, where some people would come into an apocalypse prepared and with a map while others have no clue, why can't some people come into an apocalypse with friends?

You can be damn sure if I was in an apocalypse I would meet up with my friends nearby before I set off.

Beyond that, playing this game with friends is absolutely great.

Spending the entire day literally trying to get to one another is not.

I'm not entirely sure what the best solution would be, since I'm not sure how spawning in groups would work, while choosing a spawn may make other spawns irrelevant, but it is a problem.

[Ctrl-Alt-Rage 2]

I can see your frustration and can see what you're trying to accomplish with this idea of adding a timer to the respawn option.

But who is it really hurting? I have been in a sever with 40 people seeing the same people dying over and over again in under 5 minutes and have experienced no server-side issues.

Evotech has a good point.

I'm in a Mumble server with all of my friends. They are near Berezino and I spawn in Kamenka...

They want to head towards Black Lake, a mere 10-15 minute hike from Berezino, yet it would take me 1-2 hours to get there IF things went smoothly. Not factoring in the food, drink, medical gear and ammo I'd need to survive the journey.

I agree that exploring and getting lost and making your way to meet up with fellow comrades is what makes this game so appealing, but not when you're going to spend a better part of your entire gaming session just looking for them.

And what if you are 10 minutes away from them after walking for 2 hours, you get killed and spawn back in Kamenka? Would that make you want to play the game again? Probably not.

Yes, perma-death is awesome. I was turned off to the idea at first and my very first death sucked so much that I almost didn't want to play the game again but the more I died, the more I tried, the longer I lived, the longer I enjoyed my experience and the more I didn't stress so much about dying because it really is the process of acquiring all your loot that makes the game fun (for me anyways.)

But as soon as you add a timer to my respawn time. That will take away my experience and cause more frustration than not. Hell, it's frustrating enough not spawning in the location you want to after 10 tries lol. Add a 3-5 minute timer? *rage face*

If you were going to add a timer, then add spawn points to choose from. Yes, I'm aware this would result in players favoring certain locations...but that's what's going on anyways.

Just my two coppers.

[Stealth (DayZ) 3]

I think a group spawn feature should be added but you must start off with nothing again.

I also think respawn timer and a log on/off timer too to prevent D/Cing and coming back.

A Forced D/C shoud be a 10 min wait right off the bat. Connection issues is a different story

but I'm sure people will just reset their router or pull their cord to get around this

like in halo.

that's besides the point. this is specifically about people spawning and then respawning because they don't like their location

[evotech 0]

Atleast give us the general option of either spawning in on the west coast, east coast or in the middle, if my party is hanging around the elektro area and i die, i really dont want to spawn on the far edges of the map and run for 40 minutes every time. That's just not fun

ctrl-alt-rage sums up my point of view quite nicely.

[daze23 549]

In the same vain that rocket says he doesn't mind online maps of the game because that's just how it is...

I'm not sure if he "minds" it or not, but he can't control it. the same with using 3rd party chat programs. he can control what's ingame, and there you spawn with no map. obviously he could let you spawn with a map if he chose, but he didn't...

[Kain Phalanx 9]

Just how much of an advantage can people get with respawning? Is this really an issue? Doesn't really break that much immersion if you're doing it right after respawning anyways.

As for preformed groups, just deal with it. You don't need to be glued to your friend 24/7 and you should be enjoying the rest of the game until you reach them. When you do get together you should be trying not to die, just like everyone else, to stay together.

[sexacutioner 1]

I always see finding friends as part of the game. Many movies about zombies have this same concept. The main plot is the characters trying to hook up with family members and friends and their journey to do so.

And that's all good and fine the first 2-4 times, but after that, it's not fun anymore, it doesn't make you feel as a part of a movie, it's just a chore and shit you have to get through in order to start playing the game again.

If you like it, fine, but have respect for the people who wish there was a simpler way. It doesn't affect your game at all, it just let's us enjoy it more.

that's a real nice idea.

@people talking about group, i'm not against group spawns. I'm just saying that this feature doesn't exist. You can not set to spawn with your 3 friends, just because the game doesn't understand you are a group of 4 friends in teamspeak. The game thinks you are 4 people from the ass of nowhere and will probably kill yourselves since spawned.

If he adds this, would be really good (even when I won't use it)
