hexrain 11 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) So I read the some of the thread of the poll on spawn locations, and also the KoS thread and a thought dawned on me. Maybe it would be nice to test a server where the debug plains start 3000 or 4000 meters from the coast and/or just reduce the size of the map to 4 towns for the purposes of PvP based server. Make people spawn purposely close to the cities. That way people who just want to PvP have easy access to it, and it might reduce the number of those people on other servers where people want to survival aspect. Question to the devs... would this make 100 player servers easier to test? would this increase performance/reduce lag of servers, make respawning loot easier to test, make testing building models/clipping/ladders, etc. easier to test? Also wouldnt this be a great way to test new weapons/mechanics, given that the stress on servers would be reduced? Talk amongst yourselves...

n1kko 326 Posted May 3, 2014 I don't think this will happen for several reasons.1. DayZ is not solely PvP, its about survival, and using teamwork to achieve that.2. Once everyone gets geared, and the crappy shots die off, only a handful of the people will control the entire map and murder all the fresh spawns for amusement.3. They aren't going to make a separate map just for this.4. You essentially just described CoD/BF4 (apart from the map size) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hexrain 11 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Well the BF4/COD mentality was the point of this suggestion. It would filter those people out... and I'm not suggesting making a new map. Just trimming the existing one down for this purpose. And the testing aspect seems like it could be promising. But I have no idea the ease from a developing standpoint. It just seems that no matter how many people say it is not solely a PvP game, a LOT of people treat it as such. Why not give people a server tailored to their needs. Oh and if the geared players locked down the towns, maybe an effort would be made by random people to team up more. Edited May 3, 2014 by hexrain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n1kko 326 Posted May 3, 2014 In the far far future when private hives are a thing, and we can fool with loot tables and starting loadouts, these servers will pop up, and it will make the game more enjoyable for everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nexventor 429 Posted May 5, 2014 But one of my favourite things to do is kill hikers and campers. I love seeing their brightly coloured mountain backpacks flash across my screen. I don't want any of their gear cause I know that all they have is neatly stacked wood, cooking burners and pots. But just when they think it is safe to pick up that newly found gas canister.... BANG!
