daze23 549 Posted December 18, 2013 you gotta look on the shelves and in different places. but it's entirely impossible it was empty. in general, the looting is pretty different from the mod. anyone know if deer-stands spawn anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wait until loot respawning is fixed as Rocket said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sobieski12 835 Posted December 18, 2013 So is it normal that I just searched an entire supermarket and have found not 1 single object? Someone else looted it, head north to the various small villages.* Plenty of areas that have not been looted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batlan 2 Posted December 18, 2013 anyone know if deer-stands spawn anything? I've checked quite many deerstands and haven't found anything in those either, maybe intended or work in progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiggintanks 0 Posted December 18, 2013 A few observations: 1) I have yet to see anything in any deer stand. 2) I have seen items spawn inderectly, ie: I walk into a house with a table, table is empty, come back through on my way out and there is a rotten orange on the table. Perhaps I'm the first person on the grid when this happens and it is simply populating loot that has not yet existed since server restart? I don't know.

foamninja 77 Posted December 18, 2013 I hate to say to do this, however server hop man. Go to one with almost no one in it. I looted 5 towns and found only a Rotten Kiwi. I hopped and found Rice, Fresh Kiwi, and other items (nothing too OP). Understandably the game is supposed to be difficult and about survival but damn. I thought this was a Zed Apoc not "The Road". And even IF this is the way it will be (which I highly doubt) look at all other Zed Apoc games and movies, even The Walking Dead. You see shit everywhere, if they need food? They go to the supermarket in every movie/game and shelves may not be full but there is definitely SOMETHING there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5P4RK4 (DayZ) 50 Posted December 18, 2013 Loot only spawns on restart. There may be a bit of delay for the server to "populate" it though when you go into an area. So it looks like things spawn, but it would only be things left behind by the last people in. I usually look for open doors, easiest way to tell if an area has been entered since restart.

mercules 1290 Posted December 18, 2013 I don't really consider that the level of "confirmation" I was looking for, but whatever If you want to be rude when he is attempting to help you maybe you should do your own research. I can confirm that loot spawn on server reset and at no other time from experience, dev posts, and comments in the streams they did prior to the Alpha release.

blitz 64 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) anyone know if deer-stands spawn anything? I have checked about 8 and haven't found anything in them, could have been previously looted, but I even checked after a map reset, when the patch hit last night. So I am guessing no.

ispecter 55 Posted December 18, 2013 I'm really not sure if I like how the loot spawns. It's my understanding that loot spawns on server restart which is every couple hours. If your looking for loot you should go on a server wish less players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daze23 549 Posted December 18, 2013 If you want to be rude... I'm not trying to be rude. I was just hoping for very clearly worded confirmation. I said "but whatever" because it was becoming clear I wasn't going to get that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
