Spawn Points Around Island

[jay.pis 32]

I did a search but couldn't find anything related to this so if there is one then please disregard.

Anyway, as far as I know all players respawn around the coastline after dying, first starting, etc.

I've just started playing recently and I have not gotten very far, probably just a little north of cherno/elektro then mostly dying and restarting back by the coast. My concern is once I have gotten WAAAAAAY further away from the coast and once I die I'll have to start over again by the coast.

My suggestion, place maybe 3-4 other spawn zones on the map. Players will spawn on the nearest zone from where they died and could maybe be a server option as well. I think this would also help in spreading out players so that areas such as Cherno and Elekro aren't the most popular places to go since it's the closest places that players spawn to.

My other features wish list:

• Customizable default outfit for your character
  
• All buildings/doors enterable with drawers, closets, and such are searchable
  
• Able to board up doors and windows
  
• Better zombie animations, also zombies that can grab
  
• Better zombie pathfinding
  
• Different zombie types - you know the typical walkers, sprinters, exploders, jumpers, etc)
  
• Zombies that move in herds and that also move out of town and into the forests
  
• Simple hand to hand combat, able to push away zombies for example, as well as using the butt of your gun/rifle to hit zombies/players that can also knock them out
  
• Configurable Day/Night speed settings, 1 hour for day/night duration for example
  
• Some dynamic content like helicopters crashing, boats washing on the shore, etc
  
• If it's not already in maybe some other types of handheld light sources such as candles, lanterns, etc than can also be placed on the ground
  
• Portable power generators that can be repaired and need fuel to work and provide electricity

Please don't post laundry list of things you want.

I think it's fine the way it is. New players have a learning curve. North is dangerous. But south is a bit safer, now that everyone isn't armed.. as much.

My other features wish list:

• Customizable default outfit for your character Clothing/costume sure thing. Outfit as in loadout? fuck no.
  
• All buildings/doors enterable with drawers, closets, and such are searchables More enterables would be nice. More places for more loot would lead to either shitloads of tincans or way too much ammo around
  
• Able to board up doors and windows Meh.
  
• Better zombie animations, also zombies that can grab Grabbing... meh. Animations, sure.
  
• Better zombie pathfinding the weirdness with the speed and animation is due to the hyper speed they have, meant to deal with shitty pathfinding
  
• Different zombie types - you know the typical walkers, sprinters, exploders, jumpers, etc) go play L4D
  
• Zombies that move in herds and that also move out of town and into the forests Could be interesting
  
• Simple hand to hand combat, able to push away zombies for example, as well as using the butt of your gun/rifle to hit zombies/players that can also knock them out A quick melee function could prove useful, albeit rarely
  
• Configurable Day/Night speed settings, 1 hour for day/night duration for example fuck no
  
• Some dynamic content like helicopters crashing, boats washing on the shore, etc seeing the chopper go down would be pretty cool, but meh.
  
• If it's not already in maybe some other types of handheld light sources such as candles, lanterns, etc than can also be placed on the ground flares, fires, chemlights, flashlights, military flashlights
  
• Portable power generators that can be repaired and need fuel to work and provide electricity to power what exactly?

Then lets call them suggestions, after all this is the suggestions forum and please don't tell others what they can and can't post, specially with something trivial as a features list. :thumbsup:

Fair enough, but what's so special about going up north exactly? The whole point of the game is to survive and having to ALWAYS spawn at the coast after travelling FAR up north just doesn't make any sense.

Not outfits or loadout, more like default attire, why exactly am I wearing what I'm wearing now? Lets say I'm a doctor or a cop, an option to wear my appropriate uniform for example. It's not like I have a tactical zombie apocalyptic gear bag handy. :thumbsup:

Configurable day/night cycle speeds is an option, don't get your panties in a bunch :D

Played L4D, cool game, but what's wrong with having other types of zombies and maybe having it as an option?

What can electricity be used for? use your imagination :)
