What's Going On With Loot?

[Solopopo 330]

Is it just me or does loot no longer spawn in "regular" buildings. It seems like loot now only spawns in buildings that stand out (bricked houses, fire houses, school houses, hospitals, etc.) Has this been anyone else's experience? With the recent server hopping penalty, it's been very frustrating running way out of my way to loot a town that shows no sign of being explored by anyone else, and find mostly nothing (maybe one can of tuna if I'm lucky). Sometimes when I run through a town, I notice that only the doors of special buildings have been opened. Some towns have dozens of closed doors with nothing at all behind them.

Hm, can't say I always look into the log cabins or any other "promising" buildings like that, but the usual "normal" houses that have loot, still got some...

I didn't realize the experimental build became regular. I turned "opt into beta" off and didn't notice the update went into effect. It seems better now.

So did they fix the loot like the old dayz? Or does it still just reset when the server resets?

At the moment: Loot spawns still only at server start. And afaik it will never be handled the way it was in the mod (bubble spawning) - which is good, because loot-cycling was so stupid ;)

It will spawn though eventually nonetheless.

I take it back. It's the same. Maybe this is the way they want it?

But people jumping server to server isnt stupid? Come on now

I was looking for HARD HATS and i have not found any yet. How freaking hard is it to get one?

 

- Gear: Hard hats added in various colors

The current spawn system is terrible the spawn system in the mod was much better and that sucked . Also why is it when i need item gets added its one of the few things that i ever find ?

I've found a bunch in different colours.  Using that and a pipe wrench, you look like you're off to work.

I played for an hour last night and had the feeling that loot was slightly more abundant than befor the patch.

Has loot started spawning in the airfield tents again?

[coltonlong 211]

I noticed the title, and came by to say, "not much is goin on, whats up with you?"

I think it’s embarrassing at this stage the loot isn’t sorted out. 2+ years and no concept of how to get the loot to respwan.

 

Fix server hopping which was a player’s only real method of making the game anything other than a bore fest before fixing loot.

 

Combat logging YES massive issue. Server hopping a result of the most fundamental aspect of the game still not being resolved. How can you have a survival game when there is no loot lol.

 

Now I join a server and spend 3+ hours running about for nothing.

 

How about instead of putting pretty coloured hard hats into the game you fix the loot.

 

If the loot isn’t fixed by April the game is lost.

 

Rust is already taking Dayz players by the shed load and that will continue as people become bored to death.

The game we are playing now vs. the game we will be playing a week or two from now? Vastly different animals. Because Alpha. You kiddies need to learn patience!

I'm sorry that's not something they sell you guys in your dubstep music, fatty food commercials,  hiphop vids, and other trite consumerist garbage that tell you who to be.....

But you'll figure out in time!

As for me, I play Rust and DayZ for different reasons. ;p

You can find them in the barns with the stairs, and in the workshops in towns.
