wormholes556 34 Posted July 21, 2012 Just an idea, think it will create more of a challenge and will make finding a backpack more satisfying 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baeleron (DayZ) 4 Posted July 21, 2012 +1. Right now the Czech vest is worth zero. Starting with no backpack would give it value again. In fact, players should start with absolutely nothing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wormholes556 34 Posted July 21, 2012 exactly, with the starting gear how it is, the czech vest is completely pointless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capped 1 Posted July 21, 2012 Spawn with the czech vest then. That would make it useful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quaby 93 Posted July 21, 2012 Really won't matter. I usually find an ALICE pack before I even start to need the backpack. And if you want to play without the backpack, just drop it. That way everyone is happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wormholes556 34 Posted July 21, 2012 Urgh, OBVIOUSLY I don't want to play without a backpack, everyone needs one at some point, I just think it would add more value to it. Just like how we start without weapons now so they are more valuable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamtheheretic 106 Posted July 21, 2012 I think he means drop it at newspawn and then when you find one, you can be happy.I tend to agree though, we shouldn't spawn with backpacks, especially ones with items in. +1, but you could have used the search function... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subvision 14 Posted July 21, 2012 I think, the start in DayZ is difficult enough. Yeah, you could also start with nothing but a nail clipper and a roll of paper. But think of the newbies. They would be scared away. The change to the spawning with no weapon was hard enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xeaglenec 13 Posted July 21, 2012 It makes no point to start with coyote pack and have worse packs spawning on the map. Fix this shit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryan__mc__@hotmail.co.uk 131 Posted July 21, 2012 +1 Dont really care as I dont even use the backpack ..I just find a better one before even putting anything in my backpack! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shorttallguy 3 Posted July 21, 2012 I'm 100% behind this. great idea. I think the less you start with the better. it gives you more to search for and more needs to fill to survive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozen (DayZ) 144 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) i agree with this. starting gear should be re valuated. and starting without a backpack is the right direction imho.your ship started to sinking and you decided to take mandatory stuff with you, what would you take? of course back pack. 1 bandage, box of painkillers and large flashlight, that somehow wasnt destroyed by the water. seems to be a good choice.in this situation you would probably lost everything. and the most likely you would retain some small items like compass, watch(if its waterproof), and a knife(if you hope to survive, taking a knife is your best bet).

herd 69 Posted July 21, 2012 I agree with spawning with nothing at all.Yea with zombies making you bleed on every hit. Brilliant idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazing 5 Posted July 21, 2012 I think we should spawn without backpack, but with some stuff : bandage and painkiller at least, and maybe one extra-object that would be chosen randomly (low-value object like soda, food, flashlight...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phil 103 Posted July 21, 2012 I like this idea, haha. I wouldn't mind spawning without anything eventually either, but only when the game is out of alpha. It'd be a lot harder for newbies without at least a bandage, but it wouldn't be a problem with a lot more enterable buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wormholes556 34 Posted July 21, 2012 +1, but you could have used the search function...i did use the search function....and didnt find a post about removing backpacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 21, 2012 It would be a start, towards starting us off with nothing...Agree with the rest saying a simple search would have given you a place to just agree... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamtheheretic 106 Posted July 21, 2012 i did use the search function....and didnt find a post about removing backpacks.Fair enough, I've seen a few of these threads but actual seaches come up with minimal results...
