I agree with Auzzii, maybe abit too aggresive post thou. ;) But there is no need for godmode imo, even 15-10 minutes wouldnt make any change, you dont have much to lose anyways or someone would just chase you until the buff wears off.
[QUOTE=Onisan;43631499]All of these negative posts...
It's a simple implementation if done correctly. When respawning (either joining the server, or respawn from death) you would have 60 seconds of invulnerability. During this time, if you [b]pull out[/b] a ranged weapon or [b]hit anything[/b] with a melee weapon - your invulnerability instantly fades.
That's a simply spawn protection system that is used in a ton of games.

When I'm a fresh spawn and I die to 10 people in full kevlar (or even a guy in leather with a shotgun) 90% of the time it's because I did something wrong. I didn't avoid the zombie areas, I was by a big base, I was on the road, I had a torch out, i didn't run when i heard footsteps, i was too busy chasing a pig and didn't check behind me etc. I SHOULD be punished for making mistakes like this.
On a further note when I die as a fresh spawn I really don't care at all. I didn't lose anything. I respawn in seconds with everything i just died with. As a fresh spawn I will frequently kill myself, or ask people to kill me, to spawn in a better location, get a new torch, get more calories etc.
If the invunerability lasted 60 seconds i'm still going to die. It's just going to be drawn out. If I look at 1 minute of gameplay I would MUCH rather spend one second dying and 59 seconds enjoying the game vs spending 60 seconds in a long, drawn out, waiting for my godmode to wear off death.
Also having the godmode fade on melee hit would be VERY overpowered when a pickaxe 2 shots anyone. I could run out, pickaxe someone (or try for 60 seconds) and If i miss run back in my base. If I hit then I either kill someone from being INVINCIBLE or leave them at 40 health and bleeding.
You come to my base and use all your hard earned c4 to take some of my stuff I'll just do an INVINCIBLE loot transfer to another base.
While we're at it, let's make it so that you spawn with a machine gun to balance the newspawn and kevlar armoured guys problem, let's give you godmode aswell cause you're new. Infact, let's give you aimbot aswell because you are new to this game and have a lot of trouble aiming.
For this post I will now be spending my day killing fresh spawns, collecting their rocks and any wood they might have, then proceed to make storage boxes to place all my freshly obtained rocks. Thank you for the inspiration!

which would still mean that the server would retain information o you and you would not be NEW to the server

So someone would only get the new spawn INVINCIBLE buff the first time they ever logged into a server?
I started this game about 4-5 days ago.
Fresh Spawns who have 0 intelligence run in the middle of the forest.
If you want to play Roleplay and not get RDM'd go to a PvE server.
Invuln is a pretty dumb idea, there would be so many ways hackers can script
to increase spawn invuln.
What to do as a fresh spawn?
Stick to the fucking coast line. Stay by the water and run along it, you're probably going to find some shacks with that being said you might get some gear.
When you think its safe go atop a large rock formation and look for a possible building area. But make sure you study the area for about 3-4 minutes. Remember big key here
DO NOT build near someone else, you will have a competition for resources and they will kill you. If there is a structure near you, chances are they are more advanced.
