This would be sorta cool

[mikemyers (DayZ) 9]

I reckon it would be pretty cool if you were able to have like a tactical insertion.. yes like in cod but not in the same way. What i mean is like what if they had some sorta beacon you find in map and what it does it always you to place a marker on the map.. on that server only!.. that allows you to be air dropped in on next spawn. Obviously this would only be a one off thing unless you find another one. This would be pretty good i reckon, could let you drop back in on your base or on someone elses base you know of, at a airfield etc etc. Stock back up quickly bla bla bla.

Just a thought, i haven't really seen many topics about spawning systems so i thought id chuck it out =D

What you think?

I think it sounds like a cool idea, but get ready for a shitstorm of negative comments from the lovely DayZ community :)

Nope. Whats stopping someone from putting it on the NW airfield. HOWEVER, what they could do is let you choose from a list of spawn points. (Current spawns, lets you choose.)

Yeah im pretty sure i did say you could put it on an airfield lol and its not like it would be an unlimited respawn sorta thing.. i said once off you could place it on kamenka if you really wanna lol

but your idea isnt bad either.

I would prefer randomized spawning, not just spawning at the coast. That way, navigation can be a bit more difficult, and the fun shall be doubled!

[mikemyers (DayZ) 9]

that would be ok.. thought id say they would need to spawn with a compass in that sorta situation. Random spawns are pretty shitty when you dont know where you are lol first time i played dayz i spawned in kamenka and i ran out of the debug zone for about 30 minutes rofl i died in an open field of dehydration lol

Things like this are all doable. Just gotta get players willing to do it. Some, I made a suggestion like this as well. You could have what 2 people in a chopper, 4 in an SUV. This is all possible but you have to have the players to do it. Enough to defend your stuff and accomplish desired "mission"

Perfect! I've been thinking about such a thing for a long time. It would change the freshspawn sniping a lot, as well.

You said beacon , i read bacon. Fuck the spawn points..where's the bacon man ??!!

Did you know that the extinction of bacon is inevitable?

Damn you, damn you so much. So hungry!

DON'T EVER SAY THAT IN MY PRESENCE AGAIN!!

[Atom Quark 437]

Imagine if you have a one minute parachute descent on the spawn point. Hanging on the chute while bandits take pot shots at you. That is if you spawn over the airfield. Bye the way my wife actually bakes bacon and it is the shizzle.

Don't worry Derpy I'd save my bacon for you! Well and Inception! Probably Hetstaine as well!

You guys are simply awesome, come the day of the zombie uprising i shall be off to the wilderness to raise pigs... so i can always have bacon....

Random spawns? All the YES! :thumbsup:

Not with a compass though, that's cheating. Unless everyone starts with just one random tool and nothing else. Not even bandages. Lucky buggers might get Hatchet/Compass/GPS. I'll end up with an entrenching tool no doubt.

Not keen on the tactical insertion banter, not knowing where the fuck you are is the fun bit! could do with a little "Now leaving Chernarus" when you're wandering into no mans land mind you.

[Josh225 129]

This extinction of bacon business has me thinking, i really need to start stashing bacon.

[Osaka (DayZ) 32]

I would be nice to have random spawnpoints. So everytime you spawn at a random place on the map. It would be a little difficult getting your bearings without having a keypoint like an ocean.

[Sticker704 121]

I like your idea about beacons that you could put on the map, possibly for everyone to see, so it could be like a distress signal (or a trap) however, your idea of tactical insertion just isn't authentic for me. I could use it like it is used in Call Of Duty (spawn behind someone and kill them).

Yeah, the airdrop beacon idea just doesn't seem to fit the narrative or the feel of DayZ. It's not a bad idea, just not for this game.

I actually like spawning on the coast, I just wish there were more big cities on the interior of the map. I mean, we have Cherno and Elektro at the coast for spawns to get necessary gear, but then we have to travel up to Stary Sobor before hitting another big city. More cities! MORE CITIES!

And more variety in the cities. Like, looting NYC would be very different than looting Chicago. Somehow we should get that kind of feeling in DayZ as well with more cities on the map. Then it wouldn't really matter where you spawned.

Sorry for the ramble.

Full map Random Spawns sounds awesome.
