Not a soul at NWAF on 3 servers...

[KnightFall1856 24]

Yes I server hopped. To find people. There was no one there. Had a nice little sit in the middle of the run way. What gives? Full servers also, atleast 35/40

[djporternz 644]

Yep, it's brilliant! Who would have thought that the safest place in DayZ would turn out to be NWAF. I guess the average DayZ player REALLY does hate to run... lol.

How long are you waiting in each server? Be prepared for a 30min-1hour wait at nwa for someone to show up ;)

 

PS use the sniper hill on the south edge, great concealment and visability.....you can watch the firestation and atc tower roofs for people hopping in to camp ;)

I am guessing it has something to do with the time.  It is always super busy earlier in the day.

I belive the removal of Stary Sober military base has made the travel time unberable. In the mod you could aim to hit Stary Sober then go anywhere form there including NWAF, now that its gone many people have lost any intrest in going north. Also having no heli crashes or other random events makes going through woods useless.

Id second that, stary was a great middle of the map "halfway house" sort of thing. It split the journey up a bit :)

Since when is Stary gone?  I was just there earlier today.

Yea, I re-read that and added military base after stary sober so people will understand what im talking about.

I miss those military spawns, it was an excelent half way point in which you could get a basic gun then go to NWAF, Devils Castle or just hunt the other fresh spawns going there.

Same thing for me, few days ago on a full server, me and a group of guys looted the airfield for 4 hours straight because the server restarted so often. Not another soul in sight.

[broguenz 333]

It's only another 1.5k to the slight NW of Stary and your at a mil base, 2km to the NWAF itself

 

get off the couch fatty's

What gives?

 

Nobody wants to lose their gear. 20 minute run + 10 despawn timer = coastal affairs.

 

They need to let me handle the spawn logic. I'll have the lot spawning all over the f@cking place. First place I would activate are those mountains way the hell up north, Misty Peak is it? Those twin mountains, can't remember the names and the map doesn't show them. You need a map from the mod I think.

[TLa_Vanguard 52]

yeah it seems like the NE is the new hot zone with the triangle of doom being the NE airstrip, the ship, and berezino

[HunterJay 81]

I can always get fully equipped, fill ammo box, kill all zombies, and walk out of NWAF alive.

 

Every..

 

Single...

 

Time....

 

I honestly feel fucking lonely in this game no matter which servers I join.

[Tikka (DayZ) 47]

safest thing to do is going on a full server and looting NWAF. But with just 1-4 Players on the server you'll probably die...

 

because if there are little people on the server everyone thinks "oh how likely will it be to meet someone when there are 200 km^2" but in fact it's very likely because there are only the serverhoppers in high value loot areas (just as you when you join a low pop server)

and with many people everyone is too scared to go NWAF because he thinks there are dozen of people waiting for him. but in fact they are hiding somewhere, or sniping fresh spawns or running pantless with an axe on the coast...
