SA | Vehicle Spawn Point Randomization |

Alright, I know that it's early for the topic of vehicles for the Stand Alone but it has been vaguely talked about.  I am looking to see what DayZ mod Veterans, as well as Developers think about having "Random Vehicle Spawns" when the time comes for vehicles to be implemented.

 

In my personal experience, I've always found that the way the mod handles vehicle spawns was always too easy.  At first I went around finding vehicle spawns without using alternative sources on the internet, such as http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus.  This was a VERY big issue for me. I found that with vehicles, even loot spawns, it didn't require players to actually go out and explore - just hop on the band wagon and look up all the spawn points of the vehicles and you were good to go.  I am hoping that Developers are considering implementing some actual randomization's to vehicle spawn points and make "Area's" where vehicles "could" spawn throughout the whole map.

 

First of all, my idea was to break each vehicle (from the DayZ Mod) into somewhat realistic area's where you may OR may not find them.

 

For example:

 

 

Bicycles

 

- Should spawn near or in small shacks anywhere in mid-sized towns or cities.

- Bicycles should be very common & be the first kind of transportation you would find.

 

 

Quads/Dirtbikes

 

- Quads should have random spawns around the map varying from the occasional deer-stand, acreages, and those new deer shacks that have a ramp into it.

- Bikes should be located more around small buildings/shacks on acreages.

- Fairly common.

 

 

Tractors

 

- Should spawn randomly in ANY field that has straw bails, farm sites/lean-to's, etc.

- Fairly common.

 

 

Cars

 

- Should spawn exclusively in cities or just outside of city centers with PAVED ROADS leading to them such as: Cherno, Elektro, Berezino, Stary Sobor, Novy Sobor, etc.

- Spawn randomly broken down off the side of paved roads or near small houses appropriately.

- Fairly common, reduced quantity compared to Tractors, Quads/Dirtbikes & Bicycles.

 

 

Trucks/Offroads

 

- Should generally spawn in off-road area's such as small towns, random farm sites/buildings, acreages, etc.

- Harder to find.

 

 

URAL/Heavy Trucks

 

- Should spawn at any industrial, quarry or castle site randomly.

- Exceedingly rare, tough to fix and maintain.

 

 

Those are just my opinions.  I just feel making vehicle spawn points randomized would make it not only hard but, much more fun.  It would definitely bring depth to vehicle hunting when the time comes.  I hope I can get some positive feedback about having Vehicle Spawn Point Randomization.

 

What is your opinion? Dev's?

 

 

Edit: I do realize I did not include aircraft spawns, I am focusing on land vehicles in this thread.

for fire trucks:

Either at fire station, in the middle of cities or rarely in villages

If they plan on putting fire trucks in then yeah for sure lol.

[AnyoneInCherno? 187]

Absolutely. Realism baby!

[ImmunePower 26]

Yes!

I really would like vehicles to spawn like this. Also forgot aircraft, ultralights could be found in barns or in clear fields and helicopters in airports (rare) or random locations. 

[Cap'n (DayZ) 1827]

What about military vehicles? Not anything armed, but what about a Humvee or a UAZ?

[Lidskjalf 132]

I am just listing the basic vehicles as an example of vehicle randomization.

I am not concerned about aircraft, heli's IMO shouldn't be in DayZ.  

 

Once they get to this point they need servers without aircraft.

[kingrex 85]

That's fare man, but it looks like rocket wants light aircraft and helicopters, they just need to be added in right.

[DMentMan 707]

i want police cars with working sirens 

[Fruit_loop87 21]

God I hope rocket does make it random, why do people your google and that dayz map thing?? Is it really that had it wouldn't make finding a car or a bike special because you were lame and used a map (realism their a map what shows were shit spawns). Make it a challenge I want to feel all warm and so happy I found a car only to find out I have 3 hours of finding parts

Cars should be extremely common.Every broken car we see in the SA should be repairable.Look outside of your window,how many cars do you see? They can't just vanish, but they would need extensive repairs and fuel.

I really want them to add vehicles. Its soo annoying where you have to run all the way to NWAF from kamyshovo.

[kingrex 85]

You are still, going to have to run a lot. You have to fix it up and get fuel for it which means having to run to multiple towns most likely.

[Fry76 23]

If and when vehicles comes in SA; I want to be ecoterrorist and try to ruin all cars.

In due time, friend.

To an extent; cars that are in shoddy condition should be common, as for vehicles in pristine condition would be VERY rare to find.
