elk123 0 Posted June 7, 2015 Well, I am sure this has been mentioned before because it is so damn annoying but there really needs to be a respawn option for when you break you legs. As it is, if you break your legs without anyway to fix them, you need to: A) Find someone or something to kill youB) SuicideC) Starve All of these things lead to respawning. Having to resort to option C is so damn stupid and it is pushing me away from playing the game. My character broke his legs and now all I can do is wait until he dies. So I turn on the game, wait a few minutes and then realize how I am wasting my time and turn the game off until the next week, when I've forgotten how boring it is to stare at my character starve. If you are a hardcore survival gamer, you don't have to click respawn! But please give the people who are sick of waiting a chance to play the game that they want to.

elk123 0 Posted June 7, 2015 rags & sticks work often enough.I went on to try that. searched found a stick, then opened my inventory and remembered i had tossed my clothes in hopes of freezing and going unconscious or something, so I couldn't make rags. Couldn't help but laugh at myself after that. Never mind about my post, I'm just a moron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Minion 943 Posted June 7, 2015 A) Find someone or something to kill youB) SuicideC) StarveWhat are those? What about:Find someone to help fixing your legs because it's not a deathmatch gameCrawl around trying to find what you need instead of giving up because it's not a trivial taskNot giving up on the resources you have in hopes of dying because it's a survival gameAnd of course:Avoid breaking your legs in the first place to avoid getting in those situationsTeam up with somebody who might be able to help you laterKeep a morphine stick or splint for emergency situations No need for a respawn option here (I also think you should not be allowed to respawn if unconscious but not in coma*) - more like the opposite as it would provide an "easy way out" and might help those freshspawn suiciders (speak: coast teleporters) as well. *Coma here means the state where you are below 500 blood and cannot wake up on your own.

mrbeaneater 21 Posted June 7, 2015 No need for a respawn option here (I also think you should not be allowed to respawn if unconscious but not in coma*) i agree, sometimes i'll mess around with freshspawns, knock them out, cuff'em, and make them my slave but 9/10 times they go for the respawn button as soon as the are unconsious.

James Hawke 114 Posted June 7, 2015 Last time I spawned at the wrong place I jumped off a cliff, broke my legs, crawled around to find rags, craft a stone knife, got some sticks, crafted a splint, fixed my fracture, and went right back to the cliff to kill myself. Why? Because I spawned on the opposite side of the map from my friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made the post without knowing you could make a splint and I was referring to when you have nothing and are stranded. So, teaming up and morphine wouldn't be applicable. Crawling around while in the middle of nowhere would take so long that, in my opinion, it would be a waste of time. Finally, not breaking your legs is wouldn't solve the problem because you would be in that situation in the first place. Now that I know how to make a splint, I don't think a respawn option is needed. Edited June 8, 2015 by elk123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syphonz 64 Posted June 10, 2015 Unless your like me, who when he first starts to play, drops off a cliff and lands on some rocks, breaks his leg, then is unable to get off said rocks.....I mean, but thats just me. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elk123 0 Posted June 10, 2015 Well, i don't really think you should ever be in a situation where you need to wait for your character to die out...thats just a waste of time. I think there should a respawn option for cases like rocks or spawn with some berry that makes you die much faster than starvation. people wouldn't abuse that as they would a respawn button.

freethink 984 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) This was a decent suggestion when sticks were a spawn and you couldn't get them through cutting down bushes or search on the forest floor but now it makes no sense. I remember having to crawl from north of the neaf to svet just so I could get killed by zombies before you could make splints easily.
