bodycount 83 Posted April 23, 2012 I was hoping to see the entire map used as spawn locations. Rather than starting everyone out along the coast in the same few spawn points would it be possible to have spawns throughout the entire map? If the emphasis is supposed to be more about survival horror and less about PvP why not put spawn locations around the entire map instead of in the same small coastal region? Are we survivors of Gilligan's island? Did a shipwreck wash us all ashore? Interactions with other people happen far too frequently as it is and making them rarer would maybe encourage people to team up more (then again maybe nothing can encourage teamwork). I am interested to hear yalls thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killarag 1 Posted April 23, 2012 The coast is a nice place for newbies to spawn as they have the coast to refill there water from and also allows them to navigate easily. But for a more intense survival game, being placed anywhere on the map would be immense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gobbo (DayZ) 6 Posted April 23, 2012 Small coastal region, you say? The coast of Chernarus is approximately 30km long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
griffinz 2816 Posted April 23, 2012 I think the current setup is perfect. Newbies can meet up with other newbies.The pvp action is up to the players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRiddick 0 Posted April 24, 2012 I often spawn at same location all the time, some added inland/airport spawn areas might be a nice addition, but perhaps coastline is the most profitable area to spawn around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goatsenator 11 Posted April 24, 2012 I think it's fine the way it is. If you don't want to risk getting killed immediately in the densely populated coastal cities, run straight inland or only search the city buildings near the north of town, which in my experience have been less populated.

Ag3nt Richt3r 19 Posted June 22, 2012 Can you imagine all the new player rage about being spawned in the woods without a compass and miles from any towns or loot?I think the current system for spawning in is fine. Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swi1ch 39 Posted June 23, 2012 In the current state of the game, I think it's fine. It's hardly difficult to get off the beach and to relative safety, and you don't lose much if you do happen to get spawnkilled. It also gives just enough information to players to get their bearings without handing it to them on a plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
