Where to kill yourself?

[ghua 44]

Yesterday we had a problem - my friend spawned on south end of map while I was NE. He should kill himself but there were no Z nor players around.

 

Do you know any good points for virtual suicide?

 

cheers

Tell him to run to Olsha, there's a cliff he can throw himself off.

[byrgesen 1341]

Theres no way yet, thats why people jump off big buildings and stuff :)
Shoot your friends, chop him with an axe or leave him to starve to death, is the only options atm.

EDIT:
Forget the last part, you arent near each other -_- my bad.

yeah, jump off from a building, log in to a fresh server that got some zombies in your area, or go on populated server and ask someone to kill u.

[Qu1n 140]

or just run? It's really not that far.

I wish they would implement something to stop this. I don't mean "selective spawns". More like, if you suicide, you keep getting the same spawn point. 

 

I really don't get why some people even play this game.

I'd love to see that feature too.

If you die and spawn at, lets say Elektro, you will always spawn at Elektro if you die within, let's say 30 minutes. That way, you'll rather try to run instead. It's good also, because if you decide to wait out the timer, your body will be long gone. (10min clean up)

I am not sure, but i believe this is on the actual development table, as a possible fix for people killing them selves to get a new spawn place.

Say if you spawn and die within 10-15 mins, you spawn the same place, die after 10-15 mins and you spawn somewhere else, it could be really simple like that.

Think 30 mins is to much, coz you can run really far in 30 mins, if you start sprinting straight away tbh.

 

But also remember mate, that timer is merely a place holder atm, it will increase alot later on in development :)

EDIT:

Wanted to give an example.

Spawn at Kamenkha, and you can run to Cherno in 20 mins tops, so if the timer is 30 mins and you get killed by a player (most likely) in Cherno, 25 mins after you spawn, BOOM, you are back at Kamenkha, not ideal tbh :)

Ha, you know a survival games still in alpha when people are struggling to die.

Yeah probably. At least 15 min tho.

[Kerwyn 77]

Electro is about a 10 minute run from both of your spawns, just meet there. Now if one of you had a broken leg... Well I spent a night dragging my ass to Cherno back in the mod, so my Avatar is speaking my advice for you.

 

Translation: Deal with it.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Suicide?

 

Nut up and run!

[colinm9991 196]

Tell him to run through the nearest town with no clothes on whilst shouting "Rape"

[gaweu 42]

They also should add some drop down menu so You can get all the gear right after You spawn.

[ghua 44]

you guys are laughing but it is REALLY annoying to have to run for 30 mins just to meet with your friend.

We have jobs and LIMITED time to play, we usually have 2hrs sessions, I cannot spend half of time just trying to get to other person. I really think you should be able to choose spawn point - east or south, thats all - it would solve all the problems.

[Proper Gander 45]

The "medical division" and the other hunters of newspawns would love it if people just kept spawning in the same place...

But, there aren't any problems. A good number of us have been playing like this for 2 years. I work more hours a week than the average human and I like it the way it is.

 

Hardcore survival game doesn't care about your schedule or mine.  :thumbsup:

So would the hunters of hunters of newspawns. And the newspawns that knows how to fight back (a wellplaced knock to the head can be surprisingly efficient).

[muddyraccoon 176]

Just kill yourself and dont listen to the people that say "Just Run."  You will be close eventually.  there are cliffs and buildings to jump off, but if you dont spawn in Elektro, then you are on the East coast and should be close enough to make it a 10 minute journey.  But suicide is still an option.  Once they make it so suicide can't be abused for spawn location, other things will be implemented to assist you.  Not to worry, this game won't be as unforgiving as the players that play it.

[Bubbajones 238]

Only problem with spawning someone in the same place repeatedly is you can't escape spawn campers/griefers and the whine is already loud enough about it.

Hello there

 

Half the fun should be finding eachother IMHO.

 

Think how good itll feel when you guys finally meet up and the adventures youll have to tell eachother!

I can give you a hand with that....

It's easy:

1.  Find another player.  Go to a military loot spawn if you're having trouble.

2.  Say FRIENDLY and stand still.

3.  Get shot or axed to death

 

SIMPLE!  EASY PEASY!

That is an excellent idea. Suicide gets you the same spawn or even better the spawn with the longest run in the game.

Ghua,

 

Your actually making the trip longer by killing yourself. If you just ran from the spawn you can hit gear in 10-15 minutes. A run from Berezino to NWAF is exactly 20 minutes, I timed it. If you find a straighter line you can chop that to 15. NWAF you can scavenge unmolested on an unpopulated server and get fully kitted in one go.

 

What happens is you run around looking for a place to kill yourself which takes time. Then by the time you get the spawn you want 5-15 minutes have already went by. Then add the run time from the new spawn and you just spent 20-30 minutes. If you just RAN you would have hit gear in less time.

 

DayZ is not for everybody and doesn't look like it suits you well. Nobody wants players in the community that are too f@cking lazy to run 10 minutes to gear.

 

If you want to spawn with everything try out COD/BF.

If you spawn on the other side of the map from your friend just gear up individually and meet up in the middle of the map. It's much more painless that way...
