Title: [POLL] - Spawn with map ?
Post by: KrisiS on July 05, 2016, 11:51:23 AM
Should we spawn with a map each time after death ?

I have voted no, as i believe you should have to find your map to survive. Spawning with an axe would be good though as temp drops quick. Being on a bike or in a vehicle does not increase your temp anymore

I voted yes, because it's a big nicety. I would be ok either way. Please start us with the ability to make fire though. I don't know where the hell we are that it's always below freezing, but there's no snow :p

I spent nearly two hours trying to find matches since vehicles don't warm, and I am going to freeze to death as soon as I log back in now :/

We needs fire. Or matches need to be common loot, if that's scalable. I don't mind fighting the elements, I just want a fair shot at it. :)

You should spawn with matches. We've also raised the temperature a bit during overcast and rain so hopefully it'll make a positive difference.
Still looking into what's up with the vehicles not heating people up.

I voted NO, there are a few fires in the towns but nothing in country and between towns. I know the map like the back of my hand but dying of hypothermia is a sucky death. Let's face it, it's a fookin hard life down by the coast. I want to see the jumpsuits back as this identifies bambi's or fresh spawns, matches and an axe would be handy though for the big push to the military bases.
 Bikes and ATV's no longer heat you but closed vehicles should still be ok.......... Unless the fooked it in the Update  ::)

I had/have two vehicles, neither were warming me. A tractor and a pick up. I had an axe, even had a campfire built, but there were no matches to be found even with a bit over 2 gaming hours invested in the search. Gonna die and have to do the mad scramble first thing when I log in again. :)

Jogging Simulator 2013! :D

Can the maps be added to the zombie loot tables? Or are they already on there?

That could be an idea but will put it at a low spawn chance ;)

Fair enough. I play with two monitors... so *I* don't ever need a map.  :P  I'm just arguing Devil's advocate. It's not like GPS, or that it tells you where you are. It just gives you a lay of the land. Until I have things to lose or places to get back to, I think figuring out where I am is part of the fun. That sort of falls off after you have a homestead, or are wanting to get back to the gear you like before it rots, or trying get to a mission, though. :D

Maybe some of those zombies were tourists. I say straw hats, flowery shirts, maps, and piƱa coladas on all of 'em!! :P  hehehe

I think maps aren't as important as being able to build a fire. Running around lost is part of the atmosphere :)

Ok, mouthy for a new guy, I know, but here goes...

After playing again tonight, I'm still ok with maps being a valuable find, but I do think we should maybe start with a compass. Having to figure out where we are is fine, but if we are on a timer to retrieve things it seems only right that we be able to keep our bearings. :)

Tin cans are working again, that great since you only seem to find pots when you dont need them. :) Spawns start with matches, and it seemed to only be dangerously cold at night. Spent most of my game night helping someone new to the server (who is used to Day Z Standalone) get around. He had some frustration, but it was the usual game stuff like deadly bikes, and ground glitches. Nothing specific to the server or settings seemed to bug him.

So yay matches! Compass please. Maps I'm done sticking up for.  8)

In original DayZ, you didn't spawn with a map and it was one of the first things you had to look for. Usually in Cherno :D

Like Dave, I pretty much know where I'm going most of the time these days and compasses are not rare, so getting around isn't a problem. I agree that fighting the cold was the biggest issue recently, but I just sought out the fires I know and now we spawn with matches :) Spawning with an axe would be good, but not a necessity. Plenty axes in the big barns!
