I would like to be able to spawn with friends.

[Strongarm Steve 1]

There has to be some way to balance finding friends with the cheapness of being able to choose spawns.

Honestly, if the respawn button worked getting a good spawn would be much faster and easier.

[MrBloodworth 1]

Buddy (rmackner), you are on some tangent you made up yourself there, even getting angry about it. You have still, missed the point. Please read the OP, and the rest of the thread.

The thread is not about the lack of a map, or external maps ( That, make the lack of an in game map futile, but I digress ).

Constantly reconnecting is not the answer, even if it is the current workaround. It puts unneeded strain on the hardware.

As for the comment about spawning with friends being "cheap", I disagree.

Like I already said:

Um, if we all spawn at the same point, spend hours moving inland, and one of us dies. Other than I got to play with my friends.

What part of the difficulty changed? They still have to now find the group, and all that comes with it.

People already disconnect/reconnect to spawn with friends. The only thing this removes is the bad mechanic of not be able to in the first place. Its the same outcome.

They pretty much want everything in this game to as close to real life as possable (even trying to fix issues with people dcing before death). It will never happen this isn't ment to be a co-op quick in your face action game.

[deepfried 95]

just allow people to setup a group in the lobby and spawn together. no big deal.

Doesn't fit the gameplay of dayz. This isn't a queued co-op game it's meant to be a real as possible. If you wanna log in togeather then respawn in the game.

Starting with friends, and Family is close to real life, after all, The Walking dead is about friends, families and strangers working together. Adding the ability to spawn with friends as I described, and keeping the game challenging are not mutually exclusive.

This "in your face action", is something you have made up, that I never said.

[rotekz 18]

Yes spawning with friends would be so much better. Not everybody has endless free time to waste on trying to meet up.

[A Man Named GOB 1]

Do you at least see the point of people who dont agree with this feature are trying to make? Im sure everyone of us who disagrees with the ability to spawn with friends has wanted to put their first through a wall because of dying and having to find their friends.

Now you are just trolling.

Now you are just trolling.

Lol calling me a troll for shooting down your ideas with good reasons. What your asking for is to help casual players so they don't waste time meeting up. This isn't ment to be a causal game so this idea would not work.

[MrBloodworth 1]

Yes, but I have given very clear counters and clarification.

I also read your post, as you did not read the suggestion. I'm not talking about a spawn on player system.

"Its not a casual game" is a BS response. No one has suggested it is, or should be.

Please read the thread before responding.

How is respawning with your friends not casual? It makes the game easier right? Maybe if you could respawn with starter loot everytime it would make more sence.

I never said you re-spawn with your friends. Please read the thread.

Sure' date=' that works. Really only want this for those times when you all start fresh, for whatever reason.

Beyond that, its the same rule-sets as before.[/quote']

So now you wanna add "only respawning from death to meet with friends" lol

[MrBloodworth 1]

You spawned once when you started and would have to "RE"spawn to meet with your friend lol.....

Are you intentionally not getting it at this point?

I want to spawn into the game with my friends. We pick a point along the coast, and spawn in. If someone dies after we play for a few hours, they re-spawn on the coast somewhere, like always.

This avoids what people do now already. Reconnect over and over to spawn with friends. That impacts the hardware. Its the SAME outcome.

Whats hard to understand?

So you can't run 5 mins to meet your friend? Also I never saw people respawn them selfs to meet a friend who spawned 5 mins away.... It's a waste of time to work on somthing like this when we have way more problems at hand. It's still causal no matter how you look at it and doesn't fit the game play. Like somene else said maybe this isn't the game for you.

[luciddose 23]

meeting up is half the fun.

People connect and disconnect repeatedly to get randomly spawned with friends. Hell' date=' they do it to get a better starting position as well. It takes way more than 5 minutes depending on the spawn points.

Your response is just silly, not based in reality, and filled with more E-peen than good design.

I can respect that, this won't change that, for you.

How am e-peening this? This game is ment to be a zombie outbreak sim and by design you start alone. By making it easier to group you take the fear and fun out of some the game.

[MrBloodworth 1]

It would have a negligible impact, and highly increased fun, as you can play with friends when you start out. Again, if you die afterwords, its the normal rules. You still have to find your friends. Also, people already connect/reconnect to spawn with friends right now. This just removes the hassle, and overhead.
