Niblik 1 Posted May 15, 2012 Unfortunately, some players have begun to set up shop with their sniper rifles at some of the random spawn points. This just happened to me 5 mins ago while I was still loading in.I knew that this would eventually take place but sadly, its started. Camping spawn points to kill helpless players is nothing but abuse. There is no chance to defend yourself under these conditions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melbo 3 Posted May 15, 2012 Wow, thats pretty lame if that is actually happening. Are they looting for the Makarov magazines or just doing it for "fun"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unkn0wn (DayZ) 2 Posted May 15, 2012 Players should be unkillable until they are well and properly logged in to be honest. Especially new players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Killing Joke 43 Posted May 15, 2012 That's ridiculous, and sadly, something that's nigh impossible to fight at the moment. This has been noted ad nauseum, but we do need a way to police this. If there was some way of identifying the attacker, then at the very least, we could come online and request a ban.I'm sure it's only temporary, so don't get too discouraged!TKJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FragMonkey 1 Posted May 15, 2012 The best advice to give to anyone spawning on the beach is to get off it asap. Don't stick around Cherno. Don't stick around Elektro. Head for the hills and keep going inland.If you are getting sniped at spawn, death won't mean much. Respawn and you will likely be placed somewhere else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nausicaa 3 Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah it's annoying but, if you spawn on the beach it means you are starting a new character, so it doesn't really matter if you die, other than the time wasted connecting to the server. I would love to start a group and hunt people that do this down though. It is just stupid. You don't even get any good gear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niblik 1 Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah, its discouraging all right. Might take a break or focus more on filing bugs and ignore the social/pvp aspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't even get any good gear!Make sure you make your intentions known! Imagine what happens when you come across a rival group of bandit sniper-hunters! OMG, everybody has a bandit skin! They're all evil, get them!TKJp.s. I'm trying to be less conspicuous about my intentions to lose the morality system. (Working? Y/N) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
