Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Currently if you sit in Kamyshovo in a 30+/40 server you will see maybe one newly spawned player every minute (give or take) because the spawn points are simply too concentrated. It seems like nine times out of ten I will spawn at either the barn in Kamyshovo or by the houses with the pier between Solnichniy and Kamyshovo. IMO this is better than the original spawn system as Balota is no longer the first port of call for 90% of players, but not the best way to handle the situation. I propose that players should spawn literally anywhere on the coast with the exception of a few km either side of Balota. Pretty much anywhere marked red on this map... Pros...You are less likely to see players spawning. (+immersion)It would be more difficult to camp spawn points.Places like Kamenka and Cherno may see some use again. They're 100% dead at the minute. Cons...Could be more difficult for new players to recognise where they have spawned. More fun IMO because I liked being lost when I was new, but some players will not like this.More difficult to meet up with friends who are also spawning fresh characters as one could spawn in Kamenka and the other in Guba. This is just part of the game though IMO. Please add your thoughts and constructive criticisms. Edited January 17, 2014 by Mos1ey 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 17, 2014 going to be honest i havnt lived more then 5 minutes without killing myself unless i spawned in berezino or noby.... its just to easy to kill yourself that no matter where you want to spawn you will eventually get there.

Well with this idea it would be much more difficult as you would have less chance of spawning in Berezino and the Novy spawn would not be available any more. Also, this is a nice idea about suiciding for spawn points. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard III in Leicester 200 Posted January 17, 2014 Looks good to me, I agree with the pros and cons, I'm thinking maybe not so far North though, just South of Berezino I'd say should be the most Northerly spawn. Which I know is just like it was in the mod lol. But without the Balota spawn. Also add a 1 in 50 chance of spawning on Skalisty Island. Just, you know, for the lulz (it definitely wouldn't be camped!) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muzzah 0 Posted January 17, 2014 I bought DayZ standalone on Sunday, I spent probably 3 days trying to find out where i was. In the end i had to cheat a little by using signposts and an online map with translations to get my bearings. However I support this Idea and think that getting your bearings is part of the experience. Also I'm sure there is a reason for it but it would be nice to spawn inland too. Just my thoughts on that.

elf cakes 559 Posted January 17, 2014 i definitely prefer this to the current system, however i really don't see why we can't have spawns all around the edge of the map. it would bring a different type of game each time as there could be upwards of 100 different spawn points. obviously loads of people would hate this because they won't be able to meet up with friends, but we could just put it in the hardcore mode maybe? this hardcore mode idea is gonna have a massive impact on the game methinks. it will put a huge divide between people who want to clan war and people who want to play survival games.

Max Planck 7174 Posted January 17, 2014 I think the 'Cons' should be 'Pros' as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
felo 27 Posted January 17, 2014 I would like the idea to spawn basically anywhere on the map, not just on the coast. Now most of the people, even the geared ones stick to the coast, because there is the biggest chance to meet someone. I for example dont even see the point to go the the NW airport, cause if i want to shoot with someone, its better to stay on the coast, and the way to NW is a pain in the ass because u have almost 0% chance to meet someone between the coast and NW airport. its just a long run. And the other thing is, that if u dont meet someone in cherno, it is not too far to electro or balota, and in NW airport if u happen not to meet anyone than u have to run all the way back to the coast. Spawns all over the map would give every town a possibility to meet someone ad not just balota/electro/berezino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrgesen 1341 Posted January 17, 2014 If the spawns are gonna stay on the coast, this would be the best way to do it.We should have 100's of spawn points, littered all over the coast, and i must say i like the way you tried to "avoid" Balota spawns, smart thinking.This would be the ideal system for DayZ, IF the spawns are gonna be strictly coastal :)Would prefer to spawn on the coast tbh, i guess its just "The DayZ Way" for me hehe.
