Calling out all server owners that don't have proper loot spawns

[Sakeoe (DayZ) 115]

Why do you do this? Why not put on in your server name "USING RETARDED LOOT SYSTEM PLS DONT JOIN US" so we don't have to find out the hard way. Brb carefully check out Stary Sobor, making sure no one is on the surrounding hills, brb sneak into town, brb no loot spawned yet because server admin is too bussy sucking black cock.

Thanks for wasting my time.

Elaborately put, but yes. I agree. One time the loot on this server didn't change for 6 hours, there were swarms of newbs with hatchets attacking people if they had a lee enfield clip or a spare can of beans in elektro.. D:<

The feeling is mutual.

Play video game, complain about wasting time... anyone see a problem here?

I think this is due to a broken loot spawning system, and server admins that don't do restarts every few hours. The only servers I play on are owned by people who reset every 3 hours, and loot is just fine. Anything past that, though, and you'll find more than half hte buildings are either empty, or only have empty tin cans. Annoying as hell, but glad I have a home server so it's no longer an issue.

>implying videos games are a waste of time

No. They are an experience. They provide a massive amount of fun...I could go on for hours like I did last time, but I won't.

Would be nice if they'd also put a notification about side chat being enabled.

You seem to be suggesting that loot is better/more abundant shortly after a restart, but I disagree based on my own observation.

If you clear loot spots completely, the respawning loot is the same whether the server was started minutes ago or hours ago.

Obviously though, if you have 40 players on the server for five hours and they are taking only good stuff, leaving the bad,

then only the bad loot will respawn when another player comes close. So in that respect you're right - after a few hours, many

buildings would have been looted and would keep respawning the same rubbish. You'd need to clear all the existing loot from a

building and wait 10 minutes over 30m away for it to spawn any good stuff again.

I think the loot spawns on some servers do break after a period of time. I've had situations where I'll run into a town and just NOTHING will spawn ANYWHERE. Market empty, houses empty, barn empty, nearby deer stand completely empty, not even tin cans or chem lights. The other day I spawned in Kamenka, ran up to Zelengorsk via Pavlovo checking deer huts along the way and literally every loot spawn was completely empty.

Just be thankful that all the locations on the map can indefinitely replenish supplies. Cause if it were done my way the world would have a finite amount of loot and once it's all been found, then...well...I guess people just try to kill each other for it.

Of course, for that to truely work, players would have to choose a server and stick with it on a per life basis.

In the mean time, may I suggest you use a little imagination. If you happen upon a loot black hole, then why not just imagine that the area you are in has been plucked clean by other survivors.

Imagination can work wonders. It must be going out of style or something.

Dont have this issue on our private hive there is additional map content with more loot spawns including a hidden quaratine zone
