MastrBlaster 17 Posted January 17, 2014 So i've been playing DayZ SA every night for 4 or more hours with a few friends of mine. We are all new to the game but have been studying up a lot and learning quick. We've got gear down pat, and have no trouble surviving and staying healthy. The issue is we can't find anyone! We have literally been searching endlessly for a little human interaction. Low pop servers, High pop servers, along the shore, up North, West, East you name it we have have been there. We may not be the stealthiest people so I'm sure real good players could be avoiding us, but COME ON! What are we missing? Where is everyone hanging out? Not trying to rob people, not trying to KoS, hell I'd be happy if I got held up or sniped from a mile away at this point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIC 1050 Posted January 17, 2014 Try screaming in direct chat. Usually most encounters happen in Balota Airfield or NW Airfield from what I noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zollicoffer 200 Posted January 17, 2014 There are no other players. Sometimes when the mind can't handle something, it invents alternate realities to cope with the trauma. People... places... Games. GHOST ZOMBIES 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudocide 21 Posted January 17, 2014 I for one steer clear of ALL groupings of players since most I've encountered use their numbers to intimidate and take my belongings by force.I'll be damned if anyone walks off with my spaghetti again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrNomadic76 39 Posted January 17, 2014 With the added interiors a lot of people may be running through towns and right past people inside buildings without either party even being aware of each other. Set up in a town somewhere and wait, eventually you'll have players come to you rather than you looking for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boonie 216 Posted January 17, 2014 go to elektro on 40/40 serv and come back to talk about not finding a player when u'll heard bullets travelling near your head every 10 seconds ... srly This! Every time I go to Elekto I end up with at least two guys with axes chasing me at full sprint, they are fricking hard to shoot at that speed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subliminal_city 27 Posted January 17, 2014 Although this topic makes me want to point you towards solipsism, I will refrain from doing so.As others have said, go to full servers and check out the large towns - you're bound to see someone. Whenever you start moving in lands on a medium populated server, you seem to be totally alone... until you notice that there's a door open in the building right across from yours and it wasn't open when you entered yours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted January 17, 2014 Krasno mil buildings..1 pop server. There come the hoppers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckFuts 265 Posted January 17, 2014 Wait until server population is raised from 40 to something like 100.. pretty sure there will be no places on Chernarus without a player or two :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsandrey 379 Posted January 17, 2014 I'm wondering the same. I'm playing on highest pop servers yet the only players I see are freshspawns on the coast! Why is nobody going north?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elf cakes 559 Posted January 17, 2014 I'm wondering the same. I'm playing on highest pop servers yet the only players I see are freshspawns on the coast! Why is nobody going north?!no one goes north because literally 99% of the community are people who want to deathmatch at balota. the rest are people who go north but they're so rare it's like a bloody bigfoot sighting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonah_Hobbes 171 Posted January 17, 2014 I live in the North and I try my best to limit the population to just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metalunatic 25 Posted January 17, 2014 Since most of the western spawns got removed and people spawn very often on the east coast, it would seem Berezino is the new Chernogorsk. At least I've been able to find lots of people there since the spawns got tweaked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeansie 37 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Wait until server population is raised from 40 to something like 100.. pretty sure there will be no places on Chernarus without a player or two :)I think they are testing 64 man servers at the moment. Source: I saw a DayZ test server on the list with a player cap of 64. Edited January 17, 2014 by Jeansie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted January 17, 2014 I'm wondering the same. I'm playing on highest pop servers yet the only players I see are freshspawns on the coast! Why is nobody going north?! I guess some folks can't be arsed to go north, when all they need is in damned Balota or short trek north from Kamenka.At the moment I really don't understand devs, why have they introduced so many damned barracks + camo buildings and all are spawning mil loot. Oh well, hope it's one of them alpha nonsences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well, hope it's one of them alpha nonsences.I guess the map is designed for round about 80 - 100 players.The hotspots change when cars get included.The north and east gets more important when bases get included.
