Spawn killing yourself to get near your death body

[Flintstone 0]

I notice when people getting killed with good gear they immediately start to respawn spam to get near their body to get their gear back and move on without punishment.

I won't lie, I do this too just because its possible to do.

It makes you feel safe if you get killed by infected, you will always retrieve your gear unless somebody stumble across your body before you do.

Also I notice that the servers lags a bit when people spamming respawn, especially when more than 1 person is doing it.

It's also pretty weird to loot your own dead body, while you're standing alive next to it.. paradox lol

So what's your opinion on this, do you think there should be a cooldown timer on respawning and/or making your own dead body invisible?

Definitely. It's clearly an exploit. Should definitely be a cooldown timer on it of at least 10 minutes, in my opinion.

It's the same when spawning in with a new character, if you don't like where you spawn you can just respawn somewhere else. Breaks the immersion.

Cooldown timer on forcing a Respawn?

Yes. This will also stop people from continuously forcing a respawn to get close to Balota Airstrip or Cherno. I support this.

Make your own dead body invisible?

No. That makes less sense to me as you're a different person in your new life, so your old corpse should still be a valid loot source. I do not support this.

I stand by the ability to loot your old body if you are lucky enough to get to it and still have the gear. I do not stand by the ability to continuously respawn so you can get a spawn that is closer to your corpse, however.

Make the world much bigger, and spawns more random, and charge people $1 per spawn. That'll fuck 'em.

I'm actually serious about all of these.

I like the spawning on the coast, although it makes you a better target than a completely random spawn, it makes it easier to keep your barring (coast at your back or side, and all that jazz).

Anyhow, the respawning is annoying, but there could be a better way. You continue to spawn at that same location unless someone else is already present. Forces people to move, or sit around in the disconnect screen waiting for someone to spawn in and take their place.

Also, it helps against people waiting for fresh spawns to pad their Murder Count (had a camper do this to me three times in a row, then berate me for not disconnecting to survive)

okay, if somebody died.. his body will be invisible, so there will no be bodies anymore, because everybody will have invisible body not only you (1 person) poor english sorry xD
