set spawn points?

[guntoting_lawbreaker]

i loved the mod back in the days, but never played with my wife because we knew we'd never be able to find each other. we love how in Rust you can craft a sleeping bag as your spawn point to spawn by each other. could somebody tell me if something like this has been added to Day Z, or if it's going to be? much appreciated.

Nothing like that in their plans I think. It's not implemented right now at least.

Why can you not find each other?

I can find my mates with no problem despite the lack of spawn points. We just work out where we are and agree on a town that's between all of us, and we all head there to meet up.

I don't think there is any plan to allow a user to chose where they spawn. I have to say I would not support it if it was being discussed as it would completely unbalance the game if people could create a spawn area for them and their friends

That's just my view though and all are entitled to one!

ok thanks guys. i'm sure we'll still end up buying it, but in our humble opinions, Day Z would only be improved by being able to set spawn points.

hey one more thing, i liked how back in the days on the mod they let us start with the makarov, then they changed it, which i thought kind of sucked. what's the situation now as far as starting with, or finding, some good old fashioned shooting iron?

you start with a t-shirt, pants, a flashlight and a battery. you can sometimes find mosins in barns outside of cities. other than that you need to go to firestations for handguns and to military bases for the m4s.

Its easy to find weps if you know where to look and depending on how long the server have ben online since a restart.
Use google to find a map with loot locations and such.

ok thanks for the help guys, we'll definitely be buying it eventually. we're kind of sprung on Rust right now, but Day Z is also in my blood.

i do wish they'd add a crafting mode like in rust where you can eventually build M4's. That way, you don't have to go to the military bases, where the night vision, uber commando's, are camped out with weapons of woe, to bust a cap in a fool looking for goods. though i do recognize that that opinion is probably not shared with most.

xoligy, thanks for that extremely helpful answer. i hope they do add spawning by friends.

finding your friends for an hour, and then dying instantly by snake eyes from G.I. Joe is not cool.
