No respawn button? Group spawn or S/E coast spawn.

[Kra 151]

Okay, a while ago I suggested no respawn button. Can't believe I actually predicted this one. It's going to make things more fun :]

But in light of the uproar surrounding its inception I can't help but think that some hasty things might occur to "fix" what it broke.

I read that Rocket doesn't like the idea of choosing spawn location. Good. Either do I, but if this was the route chosen I suggest instead of choosing pinpoint locations, choose either South or East coast and be randomly spawned somewhere along that coastline.

Also read he is looking into group spawns later on, and for this I suggest that the server choose a random location for everyone to spawn once every minute or 5 mins( or whatever works best). So respawn timer is ticking down in lobby, everyone who logs in within this timer spawns their new character at randomly chosen Kamenka. Timer reaches 0, server chooses new location, timer starts again, now everyone who joins spawns at Solnichniy.

TL;DR

No respawn? Good.

If forced, compromises.

Choose either South or East coast to spawn.

Or "group" spawning. Spawn location is same for everyone, changing randomly every [T] minutes.

A mate says, "wouldn't that make random teams and noobs spawn together?", I say "Yep, part of the point." Adds another level of gameplay.

Is that guy sitting in the lobby waiting for me to log in? If I log in now, is he going to try to log in next to me? I'll wait for him to log in, then I'll join on the next timer.

or

Oh man, I don't want to do this on my own, I'll wait for someone to log in and I'll join them and try to work a team.

You gotta admit, its got potential.

Getting rid of the re-spawn button would hurt players that get stuck outside the map in those glitches that happen. I know I got stuck outside the map when I was teleported out there and had no weapons anymore. The only way out of that situation is the respawn button.

Well, If rocket adds spawn choosing then spawn in Kamenka with your buddies and go to north west.

So now the no respawn button mechanic has been introduced and had some time to stew, I'd like to see what people think of this idea now.

I'd like to be able to spawn with my friends when we play, I don't care where we spawn. For us, its the exploring and the adventure not the loot, so we don't head into the big cities anyway.
