Hero's pick there own spawn locations.

[ispecter 55]

With a new system to determine whether you are a hero or a bandit, Heros should be able to pick the city they spawn in. Simple but effective way of slowing down bandits.

No. No advantages. Ruins immersion. Quite.

^This and bandits KoSers should spawn 10km outside of the map in the debug zone?

[DirtyWings 51]

Just start the bandits 3 miles into the ocean.. then I would be happy. :D 
If not then I guess ill have to keep sending em to hell.
Love spawning and getting attacked right away with someone with an axe.. I just go for the Knock out and if I win I get geared from an idiot trying to kill a bambi. Most bandits are not that smart..

eventually i guess we will get faction or clan spawns so i guess theres that. i personally don't like the idea of giving these clans that much power. you know they are all gonna set there spawns to the airfields so that's gonna be some BS so why not let everyone just choose there spawn location. they could do it like origins did i thought that worked well.

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

Considering there's no system to tell hero from bandit, and there's no plans to create such a system, this won't happen.  And if there was it would easily be exploitable.  You and your friend bloodbag each other (with blood stolen from your Bambi Blood Slave), boom, now you can spawn at Cherno and run 2 miles to Balota to gear up.

No, karma system was abused too much.

What's a bandit? 

[DMentMan 707]

Can you provide a source for such an outrageous statement mate?

Because i have never ever heard any of the developers mention anything along those lines.

It would shift the balance ingame and give a unfair advantage to anyone in a "clan", which has been stated several times, is not something the developers want to do.

They want the same "tools" for everyone, which means something like you are saying, will never ever happen, unless some poor sod mods it into the game after release tbh.

 

What's a bandit? 

 

A bandit is someone who will rob you to get your items, someone who would rather "commit a crime" to aquire new gear, then having to scavenge for it themselves.

A bandit is NOT a KOS-nab though, keep that in mind, theres a giant difference, at least in my world.

Banditry is about honor, think of it like a unwritten code, "the bandit code".

Glad we sorted that out ;)

 

 

@Topic

Either everyone gets to pick a spawn point or noone does.

Giving an unfair advantage to someone, because of a particular play style is just plain wrong tbh.

So you are saying theres not gonna be people playing as a "Hero"?

Thats far from the truth, ive actually run into more people on Hardcore, who wants to help and play the hero, then KOS-nabs and bandits.

no, im saying there is not going to be an bandit or hero system in the standalone.

Then you might want to rephrase your origional post mate, because thats not what it says :)

I'm a bit too tired and lazy to hunt down the link, but Rocket mentioned it at one of the last shows he attended (Rezzed I think) that later on they would try to implement a 'clan spawn' system to go with base building, so that providing certain criteria you would spawn either in your base or near it.  I believe he just kinda mentioned it or had it as a bullet point, and didn't go into detail (they might not even use it, pretty sure the exact words were 'we're considering it')

[HIHBGaming 14]

Any kind of advantage to any player is just not on. No thanks!

[hannibaldaplaya 1095]

Nope. You comprehendo, eh?

No.

Nein.

Non.

dean mentioned the faction spawns at rezzed if you watch the roadmap part.

[gibonez 3633]

terrible idea, there should never ever ever ever be an ability to pick your spawn in dayz.

I'll watch it again.

I would like that, but I'm concerned with how the game classifies someone as a KOSer.

JK.

A mod did it and it worked alright, it was pretty much a choice between spawning in KOS zone and spawning in less risky survivor zones with less military loot.

It was terrible in the mod and just facilitated people. It allowed the game to turn more into a pvp fest and put less emphasis on your characters life.

 

Less control in game the better the game will be.

Judging from KoSer behaviour almost every KoSer lives in a certain area and shoots from certain distances almost entirely with scoped rifles. If you take those factors and maybe some more to refine the labeling method you have your KoSer badge. :lol:

If the map is huge enough i think it's quite ok to spawn in a general area, Chernarus sized maps are just too small since in case of Chernarus you can get from the coast to any major location on the map within 15-20 minutes ( i made a couple of runs from Cherno/Elektro vicinity to Stary Sobor back in the days when we roled with a big group so i know it's achievable if you know which direction you have to take ).
