kayakinack 57 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Instead of having a respawn option that kills you (except for maybe the broken leg situation) have a button that will spawn you back on the coast at your next login. This would solve all problems with hackers teleporting people to islands, ocean, etc. Just click the button and logout/in and you no longer have to worry about hours of swimming/walking. Same goes for if you get stuck somewhere.This also doesn't have the same problem that respawning does of creating a new character on the hive it just changes the location of a character in the hive (which is done thousands of times a day anyway). So in that aspect there is far less burden on the hive with the positive uses of the respawn button. Would also allow a method of people getting closer to their friends, such as when I always seem to be up north when my group is down south until the implementation of choosing spawn points (if it happens)Only downside I see is doing it many times back to back causing a problem with the login/logout process and whatever servers/hives on which these processes take place. Maybe when each person spawns a character the spawn point of that character is saved to the hive, so EVERY time they respawn at coast they go to that specific location, then you don't have the issue of respawning to chose a better place, of course if this method of the game choosing where you spawn would work so would choosing your own spawn (I think).

Carebear Baddie 47 Posted August 12, 2012 WIth the new changes that make you spawn back at the beach whenever you switch servers, I dont think thats needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kayakinack 57 Posted August 12, 2012 WIth the new changes that make you spawn back at the beach whenever you switch servers, I dont think thats needed.I HIGHLY doubt that was an intended change, PLUS it doesn't happen to everyone, it has not happened to me in probably 20 logins. So lets imagine that this is a bug (which most folks with half a brain realize already) and actually think about my suggestion.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john@thesmileyone.co.uk 7 Posted August 12, 2012 So if I am at NWAF and I shoot someone, they can quickly press the button and then log out, and when they spawn they will be 11km away on the coast free to bandage themselves? It would get seriously abused. Atleast when people alt f4 they appear in the same general area even if they server hop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would get seriously abused. Atleast when people alt f4 they appear in the same general area even if they server hop.Would you not be in shock and therefore spawn unconscious for 5 minutes and therefore most likely bleed out? ... Plus at least if they were to do this instead of alt-f4 which I doubt b/c alt+f4 is far faster to do, it would at least force them to run those 11k m back to where they were, sort of a punishment for doing it (if you ask me).

kayakinack 57 Posted August 12, 2012 aw, you insulted my intelligence. I sad.IF its not WAI, it should be.Yes I sure did, if you can't give constructive criticism then don't waste time typing up a stupid reply. The fact that a bug makes something obselete (at least in your opinion) does not mean it should not be discussed, should we not discuss a change in zombie AI because it is already screwed up? or a change at the NWAF because the graphical glitch keeps people from going there anyway? I think we need to go on the idea that most game breaking bugs (such as the artifacts and your beach respawning) will be fixed as soon as rocket can get to it.

Carebear Baddie 47 Posted August 12, 2012 It is being discussed you dumbshit. I said it would be obsolete. Dont be a dick just because someone else doesn't think its needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kayakinack 57 Posted August 12, 2012 It is being discussed you dumbshit. I said it would be obsolete. Dont be a dick just because someone else doesn't think its needed.How is something obsolete because of a temporary bug? It isn't. You just wanted to be a dick because you are upset you are suffering from an annoying bug. Have fun at the beach buddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carebear Baddie 47 Posted August 12, 2012 The fuck are you talking about? I never said I was upset about it you fucking idiot. In fact I said that if it is in fact a bug, that it should be reworked into the actual game. Would solve your problem, as well as problems with ghosting and server hopping.Learn to read guy.
