you don't need to leave the 200m range. That is the rough estimate of how close you need to be for zombies to spawn and loot timers to generate.

As a Bandit, I am really pleased to see this kind of thread being put up. Encourages PvP and conflict. Have some beans and props.

I think a lot of people miss this bit of information. Though a lot of people read the title, flip a table and rage without really reading. Its cool though, I feed on their beans. :beans: -- And tears. Empty waterbottles can hold those. @God of Grain - It does. If the person who the zombies are tied too are within 30m of the structure you want to farm, loot shouldn't respawn. This may have changed during 1.7.2.3.

Loot is too predictable and once you understand how loot works, its really not difficult to find or farm loot.

There are a few hacks that give up locations of tents and vehicles. I have found having a vehicle is often more of a problem then anything else.

I think the way it is supposed to be is subject to what you want it to be. So, I can't tell you yes or no, but if you are enjoying yourself, that is what is important.

I would love to take action... If words were more than just, words. Soooooo... A baseless claim... I recommend downloading a screen capture softwear, like FRAPS, and record it. The group you took vehicles from is actually a large group and I do not doubt they were working for hours to retrieve their gear. Anyway, Here is a clap. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5o6fgKOTc1rte9hco1_400.gif

Never. Leaderboards mean nothing. Constantly Killing Zombies that are easy to kill = Highscore for Zombie boards. Spawncamp/ghost players = Highscore for Kills/Bandit Kills Stay logged out with the new changes to never losing food or drink status = Staying alive the longest. With how the current system is setup, Leaderboards are meager and pointless. If anything they pull away from the experience of the game.

Not sure if trolling or serious. You always take the chance when fighting someone that they have friends. They kill you,pick up their friends loot and move on. You kill them, you get more loot than you can ever dream of having and move on or try to find tents. Really, you can't stop people from gathering loot or re-equipping themselves. That's apart of the game. Serious about the bullet to the face part, Killing someone for their territory is pretty epic PVP and I highly encourage it.

A bullet to the face fixes all problems.

Mm... Thank you Vile. Ill do a bit more checking up on the barracks this evening with some clan mates. That is definitely interesting. Makes me wonder if they fixed/added a despawn timer, which makes me ask the question, "What is the time loot despawns versus the time loot needs to respawn from an empty pile." Gonna update the first post with that bit of information about potential loot despawning on its own and give it a day or two to confirm itself from other users. Thank you. @ Spiney - That wasn't how it was in 1.7.1.5 Previous versions. Ive only played a couple of hours in 1.7.2.3. Only noticed loot respawns when I do pick it up. Time frames beyond that I have had not enough time with to observe it properly.

Screenshots would be preferred before you start claiming they are named and shamed.

Well, lets already use well known methods of farming loot. Like, WoW for instance. You know killing mobs will cause mobs to respawn. Clearly, if you don't need to kill those monsters and you do, you are exploiting the game because you are causing the game to generate new monsters and higher chances of loot you want to drop, right? Or hey, if you are farming minerals and you know mining these minerals will cause new ones to spawn with the chance of higher grade minerals like titanium, or what is the new one now...? Ugh, I can't remember, I haven't played WoW in a couple years now. Hopefully that gets the point across. yeah... hit a homerun with that explanation... Yuuup. Anyway, there is a pretty big difference between 'Exploiting' and 'Farming.' @ Vile - Really? I didn't notice any loot despawn, but that was after about... 20 minutes. Did you have to physically pick it up, or did you look at the loot pile, and it despawned afterwords? I appreciate any feedback you have on this information.

Up north its basically shoot first ask questions later. I recommend going up the South side first barracks, Snipers can't hit you so well in those trees, mostly close quarters combat. If you are hitting up the hangers, run in to the side out of the way of the North West Treeline, shoot and kill the zombies, then run from hanger to hanger, If you stay still for too long, snipers are very likely to shoot you in the face.

@ Spook - I wish it was that easy, but even with, I uh think we had eight people on once? We still lost four people in a firefight with six others. Pretty fun though.

Because you clearly know more about the Devs/Mods about this game, right? :thumbsup: But hey, lets continue to talk about your moral standpoint and opinion. You just gain this thread more views and posts. Which I am in full support of.

Thank you for the bump.

GI Jane was possibly pissed her chopper got shot down. I would be too.

Hacked Ammo Boxes. Normal Ammo boxes look like M249 Mags standing up on their side. My clan and I call them VHS tapes.

Your tears sustain me. But please, feel free to continue to voice your displeasure, it bumps the thread. :beans: I have already explained in other pages on how this isn't an exploit and Mods/Devs have already read this thread and have not closed it. Your personal opinion or morals doesn't make you right.

Did that Huey crash into a building? Haha Sick. Shouldve expected that however, Ive seen grenades and satchel charges level buildings, but never a chopper before.

Pretty late update, but it appears loot still behaves this way in 1.7.2.3. Had a lot going on IRL, So I hadn't played this last week.

Sometimes when the server restarts, tents don't make it nor do vehicles. As Phresh said they come back at the next restart and it appears this has happened and everything is fine. @ Phresh - I hope one of the newer beta's has those functions enabled. Or even in Arma3. Arma2 servers, are to put it lightly, crappy.

No. Not official servers at least. Being unopposed to get the best equipment in the game is easily abused and has been addressed right now as not ideal for DayZ. They want to implement a Single Player and PvE system eventually, its just not possible right now.
