I cant stand it anymore. This new fresh spawn system is so garbage. Every time I die, Same place, same spot every time for the next 30 mins. I do not want to spawn in the same spot for 30 mins. You stated,
"We’ve also attempted to bring new players closer together with the introduction of player spawn groups. This mechanic switches between different spawn points around the map during the server’s runtime. That means you can start or respawn on a server at the same time as your friends and you'll have a very good chance of spawning in the same area. This makes it easier to meet up when you're just getting started! Remember: finding a friend in the starting areas is always easier than bumping into them when you’re fully geared!"
This only caters to new casuals who cry because they cant find their friend. TRMZ put it here perfectly.
"The spawn system is broken: the “everybody spawns in the same area for 6 mins” (I think it’s 6) experiment just hasn’t worked for me. The spawns are a mess and it feels utterly forced and meta’d now. You spawn in and there are three dead bodies, two people at the well and one mad player running around killing everyone with an axe or sledge hammer. This may seem fun but every life is the same, and some people just do this. Knowing that every time they spawn other players will be there and when the spawns move to the next location they can just spawn there and carry on the fight. It’s not fun. It may have the benefits of spawning close to your team mate if you’re in a duo/trio etc. But for everyone else it’s a meta’d clusterf~~k. It feels like every spawn on a full pop server is like hot dropping into a popular area of a Battle Royale. Most people are out for blood and there is no loot because everyone has run through. In the early stages of a run inland you mostly feel like you’re following someone always because you usually are. It’s changed the game for the worse IMO and if we must pander to groups then please can we have a choice when we join servers between the “group spawning” and a random spawn for a none meta’d DayZ experience? It was better before IMO and not by a small amount."
Devs, have you actually played your game? On official? Not gonna talk about PC because its hacker central there. On console, 90% of the players you run into do not have a mic and will kos. This is not exaggeration. Finding a friend here has a less than 10% chance. Most people run no mic and dont even listen to you in game chat. I really doubt you play official regularly and if you do its only on playtests. You would know the facts and the truth about how annoying this is. What if in scenario 1 I have a friend in electro and im spawning sol for 30 mins. Dont wanna run so I die, die die now im spawning svent. Die, die die, now its nizneye. This has happened to me before. Its annoying. Why are you against randomised spawns? I dont even know why I typed this. Gonna get looked at, laughed at and swiped under the mat over the 10000 feedbacks that are on here that you so desperately ask for. You tried to get away by buffing zombies and got away with this. Don't understand what you're doing with this game.
