More enter-able buildings, wil it work?

[F-ashbang 18]

After reading alot of post's about people wanting more enter-able buildings. I started to wonder about what this wil do to the servers. We all know that servers need to be restarted regulary to not mess up the loot spawning. With all the loot spawns there is now, how wil the future look like with twice, maybe tripple the loot spawns. Wil it affect how often the server need to be restarted? How long wil it take to actualy find loot of value? And wil the chance of getting killed by pvp before even finding anything get higher? Ofcourse its fun with more buildings to roam around in. But is this something without side effects? I dont think there is many here that wants tripple the amout of trash loot then they are used too, so how wil the new balance of loot be worked out?

Maybe have the loot despawn after a set period of time?

The whole loot spawn system is being re-written as we speak, so it will be completely different. Problem solved.

If you haven't already take a look here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/38476-the-one-line-questions-for-rocket-thread/

It will give you a better idea of some of the work going into the standalone.

To be fair it was only a few weeks ago and he spent hours answering those as well as responding to loads of other threads. I get your point though although I'd rather we didn't here anything else and all of their efforts went into programming, which it is now.

Hey frag, is this in terms of chance of spawns or the way spawns occur (the 150metre, 10 min cycle thing)?

More enterable buildings would make the game a hell of alot more challenging, thinking about FIBUA moving through towns etc... I can see some places turning into the "Alamo"

Also, I would like to see more enterable players :thumbsup:

I'm hoping the chance of being killed by zombies while looting is a bigger problem.

Less we know the better for now. When I open DayZ and get into my first game I want to be shocked and horrified on how much better the game will be.

If the map is bigger and more enterable buildings then I am going to be a very happy chappie.

Friday N: There is always one!

There's not much info beyond the fact that it's being re-written. Considering at the moment they are working with a very limited engine (with regards to how things spawn) I'd guess it'll be very different. Don't forget that they now have access to the engine for the first time and also have some of the original programmers that have worked with the engine for over a decade. They now have many more options available to them and are not as restricted as they were when they made the mod.

Also, I agree with MR Voodoo ^^. I'm happy not knowing anything, I' hate knowing everything about a game before it's released. I don't want to even see screenshots. I just wanna boot it up and then BAM! Off I go...

Dude I saw her! I was lagging so she didn't detect me and flee. She looked completely alien.

I am going to add it to your urban legends thread!

Second that. I want my first spawn to be an adventure of exploration and working out all of the new cool shinizzle...and being capped on the coast by a scoped crossbow.
