Creating parties!

[ghasteater100 5]

You know it always takes ages to find your friends?

 

Well maybe we should be able to create a party (like in mann vs machine mode in team fortress 2) before joining a server so that we spawn with our friends, so we don't have spend hours trying to get to each other!

 

However, people could abuse this by using it to teleport around the map, so I think that only newspawns should be able to create a party.

... but finding each other is one of the main aspects when playing together ??

 

also if you and your friend just spawned, it normally doesnt take that long: the most southern spawn is in kamyshovo and the most northern is near berezino. (thats what i experienced)

so it will take something about 5-15 minutes to meet, if you dont loot.

 

and if you will spawn with your friends after joining, you could "teleport" your newspawn-friends to lets say NWAF, or you could get teleported back to the coast.

 

no.

Technically OP is right.

 

If you want to play in a group of 3-4 people (or more) it takes an awful lot of time to find each other. It's not even that bad at the moment because of endless sprint, but once the stamina system arrives and you actually have to fight zombies and hide on your way it will take forever. It's stupid to spent an hours to find each other before actually being able to play. 110% agree.

 

But the main problem is: If it's not implemented carefully it will be abused. Player will teleport around from looting spot to looting spot or there will be threads like ("I want to the other and of the map! Who joins my group so I can port there?").

 

Once we get closer to the release, we need to find a solution for this.

Personally I like that meeting up takes time...its authentic. In the mod me and a friend have sat a place to meet, and that was our first nights play. Sort of both loot our way there in our own time then log, next day do stuff as a group. I guess what I mean is that being in a group is one of the most advantageous things in Dayz, so it shouldn't be gifted. We should have to work for it :)
