No Respawn, why would I support offical release?

[skizzylskzl 2]

So when playing Day z I have two options now, walk for 30 minutes or just not play day z . Include a respawn function or I advise others to not support the official release of the stand alone. If these are the type of decisions that are going to be made I wont expect things to get better.

- I'm all for immersion but I play games to have fun. im not playing dehydrated forest running simulator 2012. if someone is abusing it, I expect them to fix THAT problem- and not just lazily pull the whole respawn function. I would gladly get my knees snapped by someone cheating rather than having those in charge ruin gameplay as a whole. 'just die another way' doesn't cut it when zombies don't spawn outside of towns. we've all heard the complaints with the wilderness spawn point. this is doing more harm then good. a request from those playing the game for the sake of enjoying the game, put it back.

TL;DR I don't always make video games, but when I do I include a respawn function in case my modified game doesn't work correctly.

I've never used this "respawn" you speak of, as a lot of people I know. I understand your frustration with the circumstance/situation you're in, but I've had no problems. Also why are you walking for 30min and not getting supplies on your walk?

Are you daft?

That's like rejecting a house because it's only a frame.

You may be surprised to find that things like the respawn are experiments and rocket and the guys are trying to see now things go over.

Incidentally, every time you hit the respawn button, it creates a new character in the hive that stays there. Every time.

I'm not sure why they aren't deleted, but respawn spamming is a huge drain on the hive that serves all the servers.

Let these guys develop and stop expecting the mod to do everything you want, every patch.

TL;DR: learn to alpha.

[Dancing.Russian.Man 1631]

1. It's an alpha. Literally EVERYTHING is subject to change. (That's the point of the stage. In Beta, some things are set to stone already.)

2. A lot of people were calling out for the Respawn button to be removed because they would accidentally press it. And no, it's nothing to do with them being idiots. All it needs is 0.3 seconds of distraction to press one button instead of the other.

3. You can still respawn if you have a fracture. (Meaning; Broken legs.) So find a high spot or crawl on some rocks.

Then stop playing if you don't like it anymore

The respawn option was disabled because players might accidentally hit it during a moment of desperation. This may not be the most graceful fix but it works for now. The fact that you are trying to judge the finished mod based on its alpha shows that you lack the very quality you picked as your screen name.

[skizzylskzl 2]

yep, and as someone playing a game that is still developing I am providing my opinion on the recent changes. I do not care for it and I feel that others feel the same way.

alternatives

~cyanide capsule items

~Auto-run toggling

there is a large distance to cover, I would like to spend more time playing a survival game.

*slow clap* you really busted some brain cells on that one didn't you? I don't like the changes. input complete.

[bezki 31]

please go then. i bet you are also complaining about how fucking important it now is to headshot those motherfuckers :)

if you would read the pending update threads etc you would know WHY its done now this way.

those who dont inform themselves and read are the biggest complainers from all with total irrelevant themes and arguments.

suck it up for now. and NO, god NO. i hope friend/clanspawn never comes as an option. insta action respawn BS.

Removing the Respawn option is obviously more beneficial to the game then having it at the current time. I can still think of a few excruciatingly painful problems that arise from not having it tho. Like breaking your legs in the woods and being forced to crawl to the nearest town just to find a zombie to kill ya. Yes, the solution is carry morphine, but those that forget or don't realize are forced to endure 30-40 minutes of crawling, passing out madness, assuming they manage to find a town, I could see people being lost forever in the woods, going in circles till they dehydrate and die. Alas I still stand by what I said above, and I along with many others agree with Rocket and the Team's choice at this point in development.

Please link to any and all games you've "made". Also, it's in alpha. Shit's gonna change overnight. The point? To experiment and get the release candidate right. Deal with it.

rocket said the respawn button is enabled if the player got fractures. dont know till now if its really in the new horfix build.

People constantly "respawning" to get closer to some action puts the Hive database under undue load and thus affects EVERYONE playing because you don't want to huff it a few Km's.

The respawn feature was not designed to be used in this way and Rocket is investigating the ability to select one of several spawn points. Until then you'll just have to deal with it like everyone else, or just don't die often.

There IS an issue we are finding where the thirst/hunger meters are running almost at double speed right now and was introduced sometime in the last couple of weeks. I go through 2-3 water bottles and a couple of steaks running from Stary to Balota and it sed to e half that. Hopefully either it will be tweaked back or food/drink spawn percentages increased.

The primary downside is the increased number of slots that have to be taken up with food/drink.

OH DEAR GOD NO. Spawn-killing is already an issue.

[ninjaholic 116]

No need to be confused. You can never please everyone. Some bottle to whiners, some tell whiners to bottle it.

solid info to have- so if there are enough people mashing respawn that its messing up network stuff (didn't notice anything but then again im not working the internals), shouldn't that be an indicator that people want some sort of change in the spawn system? just hoping they find a way to handle the extra strain or change gameplay so people don't feel like they have to respawn to enjoy the game.

Edited July 28, 2012 by Common sense

[ninjaholic 116]

Or your customers are lazy and cry about a FREE game with a 225 square kilometer map they volunteered for and are complaining they have to walk far and instead they want to respawn? The respawn system was already broken. Now it's considered fixed by most people because it was already causing issues and was being abused.

What are you exactly crying about? Being dehydrated or not being able to respawn? You just jump of a cliff or run in a pack of zombies if you want to kill yourself...only took me 10 seconds to die. Why are you in a forest without enough drinks in the first place? There are more then enough ways to kill yourself in the forest.

[ninjaholic 116]

walk for 30 minutes or just not play day z

Choose the latter please. Game doesn't need more whiners. If you don't like it, uninstall it. However I think you DO like it, otherwise why the hell are you on the forum?

[Askeladd 26]

The problem is as far as i understand it that the arma 2 engine wont support Any other solution for now... À standalone game would..... So deal with it!!!!!
