I've only had the time to play for an hour or so at this point so i'll ask the community. does the loot spawning seem to be better balanced than in .51? IE are there less mega loot drops and more even food distribution?
-
100% positive that was a hacker was any of their stuff ruined? probably not hackers just turn invisible and hit people in the head with a fire axe then leave the body for bait to attract more people
-
wear TTSKO (and preferably a ghillie suit) if your anywhere but near the coast near the coast wear lighter color pants (not bright but lighter camo) because they match the grass better
-
if im not mistaken all Bandana colors can be the Un-tie able face mask kind but they spawn... idk maybe 1/4 as often
-
i will clarify that i found one of those 10x loot spawns at the vybor military base
-
not global voice... text chat
-
2nd floor plus i have a CR75 and sawed off

wait people got wiped? i didnt... -
i overheated just doing normal things all the time last patch (only when i had a mountain backpack)
-
have you been running? that's the thing that everybody seems to forget affects accuracy run for 1min= jittery scope
-
ive only run into one hacker in the past three weeks (when i got the game lol i know i'm a noob) and i just said hacker in global chat and the sever was shut down and the person caught and banned in less than two minutes (i was told this through daily message when the server started up again. my point is that its the community and server hosts that are best at dealing with hackers. plus dynamic battleye is supposedly coming Q1 2015
-
i had this spawn quite recently and within an hour had more food than i knew what to do with a sawed off shotgun an AKM with a drum and 2 30rd mags lots of ammo a CR75 with one mag and spare ammo a longhorn with lots of ammo full TTSKO combat boots with a combat knife two canteens a hard case a fully stocked first aid kit a compass a fire-axe ballistic helmet green balaclava sunglasses can opener high cap vest green mountain bag and spare kitchen knife

akm= better suited for medium to long range engagements Mp-133= suited for close range engagements cherno= urban area with tall structures and long streets combat in cherno= short to medium range with most engagements happening between 30m and 100m winner= AKM

Can someone explain how loot spawn/respawn works?

improved rarely means fixed in alpha development -
Can someone explain how loot spawn/respawn works?
LORDPrometheus replied to shokaloop's topic in General Discussion
Yeah that base near vybor seems to be the primary example of this -
not sure how this happened but i got killed by a hacker twice on one server so i logged out and joined a different one but when i spawned i was in Vybor with none of the usual clothing i had no shirt pants or shoes. did an admin move me or is this a bug?

Can someone explain how loot spawn/respawn works?
LORDPrometheus replied to shokaloop's topic in General Discussion
I wonder is having persistence on is causing new loot to spawn every restart in certain structures. So if a server has been on for a few days but no one has gone in a building you open it up and its overflowing. Also is there a global item limit? Because having lots in one building could be what causes little to spawn elsewhere because of a limit if one exists. Another possibility is that it is a cascading effect with the spawn code swing an item in one slot so it spawns something else next to it then it doesn't see two items so it repeats until one is in the slot and stops it. This may explain why (in my experience) the super loot structures spawn stuff in small bunches not a spread over the whole area. Also looking at his thread it seems like military buildings are the ones causing the loot spawns with barracks and place stations being the main culprits -
Veresnik? Where is that I can't find it on my map

Wait there's a build today? All aboard the hype train Christmas is coming! -
In my experience if a server has 40 people on it 10-15 are fresh spawns on the coast 10-15 are bandits or hero's on the coast 2-5 are snipers in the woods around cherno and Electra 8-20 are running down the roads away from the coast or in the towns inland 5 are server hoppers at the airfield or bases 4 are at various military bases 1 is a hacker in cherno or Electra Highest concentration if people is in Electra cherno solinchiny, ballota and its airfield, the northwest airfield, the southern military base, the road between Electra and cherno three suburbs and countryside around cherno

I noticed that it was odd that I was stuffed after eating an apple

Would natural gas pipelines work in Case of Apocalypse?
LORDPrometheus replied to Damnyourdeadman's topic in General Discussion
Gas pipelines are not passive flows they use pumps to actively move gas and those pumps run off of electricity. So as soon as the power fails the lines fail. This being said unless there is a breach there will still be gas in the line so theoretically you could siphon it off but good luck with that -

Out of curiosity where are people seeing these ultra loot spawns the only place I've seen them is the military base to the east of vybor just south of the northwest airfield. Are other places doing this too? -
Yeah it put me in a good spot to get some loot so I'm not complaining it just seems odd that this could happen its almost like it dropped me off where the main menu shows your player

LORDPrometheus replied to shokaloop's topic in General Discussion
I seem to be encountering pretty normal distribution and have a theory that if someone is online in an area when the restart begins than that area will not be reloaded. The only place I've seen super loot is the Vybor military base but super doesn't really quantify it more like absurdly ridiculous.
