20 words or less: Spawning without a weapon

[zak757 146]

No.

If you don't want to join the bean wars, don't go follow the coast. Keep the Makarov spawn.

[tremanarch 42]

YES

makes dying harder, and maybe bandits will think twice if they start a fight or just wait till the survivor has passed by! Needs testing - trying out how it will work out. Lets test it people. Maybe newbies get a weapon and after your 3rd dead you dont get one at start, considering you know the game better etc..

GIve them a bad weapon. Like an Airgun! you can only shoot ever 5 seconds, and its quiet gun, and you must aim for the zombie head or it will not kill.. sth. like this!! Or make it random, some starters have an air pistol, some a rifle, some a makarov but only one magazin.. so the people that start new dont always make the same thing...

[wordplayuk@gmail.com 101]

YES. Assholes could (as always) ruin it, my argument's even with pistols if someone wants to kill newspawns they can.

(20 words, just)

[thomas.bowyer@hotmail.co.uk 25]

YES

but only if it comes with a global reset to start on a level playing field (tents included.) SPARE WORDS.

[joikd 25]

YES

If not, then the crossbow. Allows for some defense and quiet kills (very helpful in the early stages).

[Wolfyboy 0]

YES!!

If you can spawn all over the map so you can't farm new spawned players to have easy access to starter gear.

[Forsh 2]

NO

The hardcore may love it, but most players will likely hate being killed on the shore with no defence and give up the game.

[tiri 21]

NO

Big teams will have no problem giving gear to freshly spawned players. Alone players will struggle to survive.

[eegore 23]

YES

Im open to experimentation and we wont know until we try.

These words are so I make twenty word post.

[siryouhavefailedhard 0]

YES

Make me fear the Z's again.

[sexacutioner 1]

YES

last night had zero loot; Found airport; found shotgun; hear bus; Shoot driver; bleeding; Scavenged bandage from corpse; took bus.

P.S. 20 words or less really ruins that story :)

[Stealth (DayZ) 3]

YES.

Spawns must be much more random and all over map.

[zak757 146]

1. Encourages player disconnect, as they have absolutely no way to protect themselves

2. Serial killers who go to cities to PK will have no threat and can mow down player at their leasure

3. Beanbandits will have a holiday on the coast, mowing down players

4. A single mistake like accidently double tapping W = death, and a games brutality needs limits

NO. Stop acting so hardcore and think for a moment. I can guarantee you this will go badly.

NO.

Disconnecting player bodies remain for 5 seconds.

If players spawning with no weapon, and no side chat, still go to Cherno, or have a picnic on the coast..... Well I mean shit, I'd consider that I'm doing a public service, "natural selection" styles.

[patluk@sasktel.net 1]

YES

Only if whiskey bottles and road flares actually distract zombies _effectively_. <-- word emphasized

What about a KO non lethal weapon

[bptrav 0]

NO but..

You should continue to spawn with weapon' date=' but with considerably less ammo (2 Mags).

tldr; Short Answer, No

[/quote']

I like this idea, it's sort of a middle ground between spawning with no weapon and spawning with a bunch of ammo.

[bulltrue 0]

YES

This will kick out the casual Cowadooty kids.

[gray1107 (DayZ) 0]

Put it in 1.7.1 pleasseeeee.

[Nikomof 0]

YES

at least as a test. If it doesnt work you could reduce the starting and ammo spawns. (might make ammo worth killing for, might make ammo too valuable to spend on some random dude

[ImTooGodly 0]

NO

Reason: If I got a gun all I would do is wait for players to spawn on the coast without one. Could imagine others would to.

[Refried 14]

NO

i have a pistol and a revolver in my house right now and many other people own guns irl

reducing starting ammo feels like a better direction to go

[mattiaspetersen@yahoo.dk 1]

YES

Makes it harder and thats better in my book. and it will probly scare the shit out of new players.

Considering I spawn mostly right out side of cherno, and elektro, all it takes is a player on a hill sniping, or on his way with a gun to kill you. There for removing "natural selection" theory.

I've already outlined multiple problems with the idea. Everyone agreeing, because it will "end the bean war" cannot even give good reasoning. I can go all day about how it is a bad idea.

You've tested it alone, or other devs. So in theory it is a good idea, but on live after a few days it will be chaos.

YES

No it reinforces the kids you think are "cod kids." Since your "cod" kids are just griefers, and just want to grief, doesn't mean they play cod.

They could then just kill all fresh spawns with no chance to die. Increasing the rage factor, in creasing their numbers, and reasoning to keep doing it.

People are not actually thinking it out.

It looks like Rocket already made up his mind, and when it goes all wrong you Yes people for the "bean wars," and "cod" reasons will be crying it was a bad idea.

[muttsnutts001@yahoo.co.uk 4]

YES

-Finding a crappy pistol will be a joyous event

-The creation of more noob tears will be awesome.

Further idea:

Spawn less weapons than players

[Boss (DayZ) 1]

NO reduce ammo to 1 or 2 magazines
