question about respawning

[airborneguy 93]

I respawned in the middle of nowhere and I fell off the stairs and broke my legs. Have not seen any zombies to kill me anywherewhile I have been crawling around. How do I respawn and get my legs back?

Thanks

Press ESC and choose respawn.

[frosti 2165]

Try find and eat rotten fruit or desinfecant

Press ESC and choose respawn.

Isn't it usually greyed out though?

so there are random stairs in the middle of nowhere? lol...ya, thats a tough spot to be in, doing the worm. a few options for you...

 

1. find morphine (unlikely)

2. remove shirt, tear into rags, find a bundle of sticks--make splint (also unlikely)

3. fall off of the same stairs a few more times and see if it hurts?? (wont work, but would be funny as hell)

4. find some water and drown yourself (should work, but might be a long haul--check map at dayz.db)

5. scream over voice (default is cap-lock i believe) for someone to come and kill you, maybe someone will hear and oblige

6. pick a direction and crawl

 

good luck :thumbsup:

not for me, I can very often use it.

I still maintain that cos it Alpha just now with zero zombies etc there should be a respawn for broken legs but no folk will tell you to crawl for miles or try get the reddit rescue force to come and get you but seriously anybody who thinks its fun doing this for an hour needs their head looked at

[airborneguy 93]

Yeah there are no zombies in this town. There are no ponds to drown myself. I even deleted the game and everything that is Dayz on my pc. But reinstalled and I spwan into the game as a cripple. Lol. This sucks, my only option is to get the experimental version and play. DEVS...I need assistance with this plz. Unable to play the GAME!!!!-

Do you have a gun? Start shooting to attract zombies. Are there other stairs on the outside of the buildings in that town. Time for a crawl and fall. Otherwise, just pick a direction and wedge down the forward button.

[airborneguy 93]

I have tried to crawl and fall but it wont let me crawl up the stairs

Why would you delete everything DayZ related? Your character saves server side not client side.

 You used to be able to get sideways to teh stairs and then roll onto them to get up,maybe it has been fixed ?

 

 

 

Here..found a vid.

Some of the new spawns blow.  There's a spawn by the new new new town, which isn't even in the game yet.  I think even the spawn that's been a while right outside Svet on the coast sorta blows too.

Here's the thing, if you're totally new to DayZ, and you don't see the town you're already basically at the edge of the map.  I mean hopefully you realize the giant empty field is probably not the way to go, but even putting spawns in proximity to the edge of the map seems like a terrible idea to me.

 

The inland spawns are pretty lame too, I've spawned overlooking pollana factory, at pollana town itself, inside dollina etc.  Now things are bound to change, the map is a bit different than the mod, but places like pollana factory were a hot spot of activity for finding vehicle parts etc.  Now there's a spawn literally on the hill over looking it.  That's lame imo.

 

Again, things are bound to change, the map will play out differently but I just think that's reason to wait on changing spawns.  They should have left full coastal spawns until they sort out everything.  They were spread out enough to begin with.  It's a balance issue, why are they fucking with them now when they don't give a fuck about balance any where else?

Such a pain, this one time i broke my legs right after getting fully energized and hydrated and then crawled for what felt like 1 km and found a radio tower, climbed to the top hoping i could jump off it. Problem was the top had rails around it and it was only a 1mx1m area so my character got stuck in prone and i couldn't even get to crouch or move in any direction including facing towards the ladder to get back down. Was stuck up there for hours, just left the game running and did something else and he died eventually.
 
 
Ladders (Radio towers excluded lol) can be your best friend in these situations, although not knowing where you are i don't know if any would be around. If you come across a deer stand which are scattered all over the place you can keep climbing the ladder and crawling off the edge, it's slow but after 10-15 times you'll die.

I have to say without the new towns in the game yet the far north spawns are pretty lame.  You're almost starving before you can even get to food.  When I see that open space in front of my spawn and think of the city that will be there it makes it ok.

[Bororm 1156]

I know it doesn't necessarily make sense, but imo you should be able to at least vault again while your legs are broken, like you used to be able to.

So you can hobble over rails or other obstacles, get up stairs/through certain doorways etc.

 

I mean, what's the drawback besides "realism" and even then, it's not necessarily unimaginable that with a broken leg you could hobble over something, you'd just have to grab onto said rail or door frame or what have you in real life.

[Karmaterror 982]

Dunno if someone has already said it but try swapping server a few times.....eventually you might find one that puts you back on coast as a fresh spawn.

 

If it works play a little then swap back because that server wont be connecting to the hive properly, so probs best not to continue playing there.

 

That's all I can think of that hasn't already been mentioned :)
