Stopped playing

[foxtrotoff 0]

Hey all

The loading times on pretty much all but the emptiest of servers are atrocious, myself and several of my friends have pretty much given up on playing simply cause it takes so long to spawn or respawn.

Once we get killed, we generally respawn until we can get near elektro or cherno depending on where the first person spawns. We want to get back straight into the action so generally just suicide run to get some loot and hopefully get something and then group up.

Now this has become a major issue for us because 90% of the servers we join there is at least a minimum wait of 2 minutes between respawning or even longer for the first spawn on that server.

Are there any plans to get this fixed soon? its really breaking the game for us and we really do love the game, dont get me wrong, we love the alpha and cant wait to see what else is coming but at the moment the game really is unpayable for us.

We generally play on DE or UK servers, we have tried US and LU servers too.

Yeah, like that's going to happen in DayZ...

I don't know about other people but I'd say this is pretty ridiculous. Knock it off. There is a reason the spawning is random. Stop slowing the servers down for everyone else.

As cosmic said, be more careful. Get medical supplies, everything that will increase your life time. My friends and I haven't died for atleast 1½ week now. And yes we're also going to dangerous places such as the NW airfield. But yeah, being very careful helps. And the respawn system is fine, it wouldn't be any good to add an where you want to spawn.

Its already fixed, get on 1.7.2.3 along with the latest beta patch(95057) and enjoy almost instant loading times

While i understand the points about being careful, the group we play in isnt really up for being careful, we're about going out and finding fights, not caching stuff in tents and getting the best gear.

We have the most fun when we're gathering some nice starter gear and just rolling about between cherno and elektro, weve been to NWAF a total of one time where we got bored so we left and headed back to our usual hunting grounds and engaged in great firefights.

What im trying to say i guess is, yea, youre probably right, getting some med supplies and such and being more careful would probably stop us having to spawn etc but thats not how we like to play. Even if we had to put up with spawning now and again several minutes to wait to spawn is still a bit laughable considering how fast the servers were during 1715

Shall give it a try tonight, if so you may have my beans my friend!

[HalloweeNGT 23]

I have been testing the new loads some hours ago and they were ok, but now you cant even join any server.

However, spawn timers are the minor bug/problem you will meet.

[GeeksterDayZ 55]

The servers did seem to be better for me last night than they have been for a little while, some of them have taken a long time to update to the latest versions.

Suiciding to get to where you want to be is lame. Just play from where you spawn, what's the big deal, so you have to spend 30 minutes on your own instead of having a safety net to catch you from the get-go. That's part of the experience!

Its not part of the game to kill yourself to get better spwnplace making me sick these pll lagging server, filling server with body's at the coast.

Its good u need to wait

Play more US servers. Im in the UK, and always play on US servers if possible as they have quicker loading times, they always have done ever since I started playing a month or two ago.

^The last part of this^

I believe that constantly respawning will slow down the server and clog up the file sync, making it slower for those playing, those joining and those respawning. You and your friends clicking respawn to get into a better spot are more than likely contributing to the slowness of the server. That, and I kinda ruins the experience. Imagine the adventures you could be having running from one side to get to cherno or electro

Do you have to update Arma2 manually or does the Sixlauncher do it all ?

2 mins isn't that long to wait if your gonna be playing for a couple of hours, also hopefully it'll discourage DC'ers.

If all you do is run around in Cherno and Electro looking for fights, you do know theres hundreds of other Arma Mods you might find more suitable, you should give them a try.

I think the point we're getting stuck on is 9/10 times we spawn at solic. koma or kame. Those take a good half hr to run from even if you have great navigation skills (which some in our group dont, the stories i could tell you).

We enjoy playing as a group and also most servers we play on the player bodies despawn after 15 mins so while i take your point about clogging up the sync and such, if the bodies despawn there isnt much of an issue.

Thanks everyone for putting your points on, its good to hear that things could be fixed =-)

I can see this being annoying for groups but I imagine it's a lot worse for alt-f4 cowards, server hoppers, and ghosts. I'm glad the spawning is slow. It's cut down on the worst elements in the game. I'm alright if they want to make it even longer.

[voddler (DayZ) 367]

Six launcher does it for you.

Like thats going to happen in DayZ.Fucking idiot.

[GunzBlazin 4]

this isnt cod

you will eventually figure out the point is not to die

[Jachim 22]

ITT someone complaining it takes too long to respawn after dying in a game where survival is the main objective.

Thank you for the announcement, hopefully we will be able to fill the void generated from your departure...
