Spawn Protection

Recommended Posts

Back in the old days of FPS MP games , we had spawn protection . 

Was wondering recently why this has never been added to DayZ 

 

Basic concept is simple. 

When you first spawn in , you are untouchable , "god mode" in a sense. Sometimes even transparent .
Which is of course canceled as soon as you take any actions.
The simple purpose is to protect you until you are fully spawned into the game. 
As I'm sure many of you with friends know, That sometimes, when logging into DayZ your body will show up several moments before you yourself get into the game. Leaving you wide open to player kills or zombie aggro. 
 

Now i know many of you will simply say ... Log in/out in a safer place. Well thats not always an option if you get the occasional crash, or disconnect while in alpha as I'm sure many do  . 

 

Additionally , I would love later if they added the ability to log into the game in the same Stance you logged out . 
ie: log out prone , log in standing , always annoyed me

So basically I get God mode when I log into NWAF so I can tell my friends where I saw other people that we can KOS, or maybe I can ghost log in ATC to pop that sniper because he can't touch me and I have God mode on because I have just spawned? Great idea! VIVA LA SUGGESTIONS!

 Your mind goes directly to how to cause more problems. where as mine just looks for ways to fix them......

Using SP to scout isn't very effective, if as soon as you made any movements to change cameras or look around it would kick you out of it . ( no more so , than logging out in a bush . 

Same for ghosting, as the moment you tried to raise your weapon, or move position , you would be kicked out of SP and able to get shot.

dont like the suggestion, i rarely get killed at login and the mentioned disconnect should get rare with the ongoing developement of the game. i think that option would get abused and that wouldnt justify the benefit.
