A Few Noob Questions Everyone Wants To Know?

[A_6_year_old 6]

Hey guys just a few questions I couldn't find answers for as of yet.

 

How does spawning work currently alot of people, myself included seem to be finding minimal loot everywhere, is this due to spawning only being able to happen during restarts or is there another reason?

 

Any estimate as to when vechiles will be added to the game?

 

Will spawn locations be possibly selected within roughly a 1km range such as it is in certain dayz versions?

 

Will side chat be implemented on some servers?

 

Thanks for help and hope you can answer the questions :P

1. Loot/Zombies only respawn after restart

2. Later this year

3. What exactly do you mean? If your talking about selection of spawn points, No it will never happen.

4. It's up to admins to have side chat enabled.

Loot spawn has been reduced and spread out as of last patch

 

Too early to know for sure

 

Hopefully not. That's weaksauce

 

Hopefully not. Also weaksauce 

 

:D you're welcome

Correct, loot only spawns at server restarts, same for zombies. There is no respawn for anything but players right now.

 

Any estimate as to when vechiles will be added to the game?

 

I've heard later this year, but who knows.

 

Will spawn locations be possibly selected within roughly a 1km range such as it is in certain dayz versions?

 

I don't understand this question, please elaborate...

 

Will side chat be implemented on some servers?

 

Devs are working on additional chat channels other than the global, I remember reading something along the lines of being able to yell and whisper. I personally don't think there should be any truely private chat though, if you talk those around you can hear you, that's how it should be.

Is there any estimated time until loot spawns will be working?

For some odd reason I can't paste lol...

 

If you go to announcements section, then go to one called "Confirmed Upcoming Features for Dayz" (or something like that). That will give you a good idea of what's planned and how long they think its gonna take :)

 

EDIT - Chrome ftw :)

It is an identified bug: a painted Mosin only holds a single round.  Expect it to be fixed at some point.

that sucks because after u paint it black and then add green paint it is camo and looks so amazing but it only holds one round

I think it works as intended. No need to have it different than now? Once the serverhopping is solved there should be no problems anymore.
