Molochius 2 Posted January 27, 2014 Hi so im new to the standalone and im finding a pretty major issue with the fact that it seems everytime I logon to a server literally every single building I come to has doors open, recenlty searched and no items to be found, so much so that ive given up for now, you cant get anywhere in the game if you cant even find food, drink let alone medical gear and weaponsHave I just been unlucky or is there a really slow rate on item respawn at the moment in the alpha?

Baby Jesus (DayZ) 45 Posted January 27, 2014 Items only respawn when the server is restarted, so loot depends on how long the server has been up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molochius 2 Posted January 27, 2014 Items only respawn when the server is restarted, so loot depends on how long the server has been upis that as intended or just because its the alpha? what your saying basically then if you cant find a server thats only just come online theres no point in playing? that kind of sucks.

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted January 27, 2014 is that as intended or just because its the alpha? what your saying basically then if you cant find a server thats only just come online theres no point in playing? that kind of sucks. With the amount of lootable places i wouldn't say there is no point in playing it. But most of the top loot is normally taken within the first half an hour of a server going up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See thats what I thought which is why I kept trying but after about 3/4 sessions going through settlement after settlement for hours with zero loot you just get bored tbh Edited January 27, 2014 by Molochius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted January 27, 2014 is there an eta on dealing with item re-spawn rates then? still catching up with patch notes as only just got the standalone myself. No ETA... all we know is it's a feature that will be added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molochius 2 Posted January 27, 2014 ok so my next question is how is it possible to find how longer a server has been online for? no option I can see on the server browser? or is it just hit and miss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molochius 2 Posted January 27, 2014 It's basically hit and miss, but if you're on a server and you get a "No Message Recieved", you either lagged out or the server has restarted, so look for that same onereally? damm call me a fool then because the last server I tried earlier I kept getting that message before I logged off frustrated, if id known it was just a server restart id have stayed with it!
