Spawning

Recommended Posts

Have the Devs said anything about spawning locations being all over and not just on the eastern coast? I think having everyone spawn in generally the same area results in having more KOS only because the guys that go in groups look to those areas. I also think it makes starting off in a high pop server makes it more difficult to survive because all those building are looting from the get go. Just my opinion, but I think a completely random spawn point anywhere on the map would suit the game well. It would also help players explore other parts of the map they generally wouldn't reach.

I could see that happening. Maybe they could add some sort of penalty for suicide like they do for server hopping....

Having experienced both designs, I would say that I prefer a more centralized spawn.

 

Granted there are still those assholes that will kill everything forever, in my experience the people I run into when I spawn are generally pretty decent.

 

That's not to say that is the case every time, but I find I am able to link up and play with random players more often with the centralized spawn.

 

I don't mean to say make one spawn point, I'm for having it be spread, but at the moment...I'm enjoying the centralized spawn. For the most part.

 

That's just me though.

If it would be random, players would just kill themselves even more to get their desired spawn point.

 

Not if you add 200 different spawn points. Who is going to suicide for 2 hours.
