Suggestion: Stop new spawns at coast only

[Shag 90]

Here me out, there is still a bit of a death match mentality at the coast. People intent on griefing go there to kill fresh spawns. It has led to some funny videos (the guy that followed the 14 year old for 30 minutes with an axe in the robot chicken montage) but it also leads to a strange kind of unnatural 'area' that really shouldn't exist.

So why not spawn ANYWHERE. Totally random. With the caveat that you don't spawn where other players are.

Should you be able to spawn near zeds? This might lead to some interesting 'narrative' being created. Waking up at home surrounded by the infected etc.

I also think it would add to the disorientation after death. Your first job is to work out exactly where the hell you are. On that note, can we remove the text which actually tells you where you have spawned?

So no more 'noob coast area', greater disorientation after death, a new mini-phase of working out where the fuck you are, win win win?

Well I think the idea behind the coast spawning, is that you've either washed up or were dropped off at the coast to begin your survival, giving alittle context to why your there. Being able to spawn at more locations around the map certainly would help cut down on the beach killings though, I agree abit with that.

Your idea is awesome. I saw an idea like that about 2 months ago on this forum:) You could spawn in every building but at least 2 kilometers from the other player. Your condition could be random for example 2k on blood with one bandage and no backpack surounded by zombies.

I'm pretty sure the idea behind spawning in the coast is so you can get a fresh feel for the game before you advance to the harder/better stuff. Everyone needs to start fresh and kind of 'level up' in a sense by getting weapons, forming a team, and heading north. If you spawned in the NW Airfield as your first time you'd either 1) Die instantly from sniper 2) Be killed from zombies

The coast to heading north idea is a really nice 'ranking system' even though you don't see it. This way spawning in the coast starts you off fresh and lets you go through the game without having to deal with the 'higher levels' right as you start.

I would like more spawn locations. They could include some at the Northern top of the map. offering the player a bleak and less dangerous starting point. If Chernaurus was an Island then this would be great. Being close to certain locations would be out of the question as this would affect the balance of play.

New spawns on the coast would be good for a few weeks and changing periodically so you could avoid the campers and new spawn killers too. This would be great as you could explore more and adapt your gameplay to suit.

This is precisely my point - it shoul not be like this. There should be some really awesome loot in the southern cities, not just up at the NW airfield. You shouldn't level up while travelling north. That said, at the moment the xeds are too easy and should should be really ramped up, especially in cities. If anything the south should be very dangerous just because it is very built up.

I like this idea and most of us have thought about it I dare say..

Spawning on the beach does have a much like " level 1" feel but shit it should be spiced up a bit with some random spawns on opposite sides of the map aswell.. but I dare say only on the edge of the map and not more inland than the edge. I think this kind thing of has to happen as it would detour the mentality of the " shit hole " coast spawn and hastles in the area. I'm almost convinced this has to happen. Also haha ! i cant beleive you said destroy the " text of when you spawn in" haa as much as I appreciate the idea i think it should stay. but other than that nice idea freind.
