Spawns are bugged? No more along south coast?

[albinorhino 174]

So I tried a little experiment last night after spawning at those rocks by the ship wreck five times in a row. I made a little tally of how many times I spawned in certain locations. I did this 100 times out of sheer boredom and these were the results.

 

I will include all the usual spawn places as well.

 

Kamenka - 0

Komarovo - 0

Balota - 0

Cherno - 0

Cap Galova - 0

Elektro - o

Otmel - 21

Kamyshovo - 7

Krutoy Cap - 32

Solnichniy - 18

Solnichniy Factory - 22

 

Did not hit a south spawn once and I had to jump through many servers to do this (all deaths were from suicides). So have the south spawns been disabled? Because having to run from Solnichniy to Polana / Berezino before I can find even the most basic of survival tools is a joke.

 

Yes, it's an alpha. I'm well aware of that. I was even putting a "WARNING! THIS IS AN ALPHA!" disclaimer at the start of some of my videos, but why the sudden change in spawn locations? Anyone else having these issues or is it just my rotten luck? (probably why I only ever find rotten fruit! ;))

Elektro is as far south as you'll spawn and it looks like that's rare, not a bug. A much welcomed change. Many other threads on the subject as well.  ;)

Those new spawn along with military bases/gear distribution are good.

 

They are fixing game, making it more survival and less Call of Balooty.

Yeah, only east coast spawns now, as well as elektro and novy, which was quite a suprise when me and my friend found out when strolling down from Berenzino to the south coast yesterday. I think the record was 13 kills, 2 captures, 5 disconnects, and only one firefight. (Ready and willing to collect gourmet tears)

The problem was that despite how awesome the map looks now, the military loot is way too concentrated at the south-west. So people spawned and immediately had a weapon. That had to be fixed, period. Though they simply should have removed the barracks from Balota, removed two barracks from the base north of Kamenka, and so on. When they said they scattered military loot around, I imagined you'd find a crashed Humvee along a road every now and then with a chance of spawning a gun. So whilst it's an improvement what they did with the spawns, not being able to spawn at Kamenka is just un-dayZ-ish, and doesn't deal with the core problem as it should.

Not only was your post funny, but your signature is just as hilarious.
