Every single experimental server ive gone too has been looted already.

[wmike20052 6]

Literally just wasted an hour or so server hopping.

 

I dont usually do it but i didnt run all the way to berezino find nothing on 4 servers and then go to SVET and airfield just to find nothing either. Im 8 servers in and still nothing.

 

How often do experimental servers reset? This is ridiculous. 

[antonioajc 500]

Did you check the towns inland?

[sumusiko 30]

all experimental servers got 40+ players ofc they are looted..

[wmike20052 6]

I checked the towns near Berezino and Dubrokya or something and all the doors where open so i didnt bother. 

[Wyrmgol 26]

They also don't reboot every 1-2 hrs either. 

Go inland or keep what you kill...

I love that people spawn in the same place as everyone else, follow the same route as everyone else and then complain that for some mysterious reason all the loot has gone from the route that just about every other player on the server has taken. What a mystery, eh? :)

Quite. Poirot will have difficulty deciphering the clues on this one.  :rolleyes:

[Forrelist 236]

Try heading to Zelenogorsk , it was unlooted when I was on a UK experimental server last evening.

[Rancor 90]

Can confirm that.

 

It is really hard to find loot, if the server is already running 2 or 3 hours. I reached several towns in the land, all doors were open, no loot was in there.

But actually loot respawn has no high priority, I Think  the devs are working on other features.

I only play experimental (hardcore) servers, it's not because I want to bug test things, it's just that I am obviously a better person than those who don't.. ^_^ ..however I'll be honest it seems to be mixed. I've gone on some that are on 30+ players and have a backpack, food and some form of weapon within the first 10 minutes of play, yet equally I've joined a near empty and fairly recently restarted server and found next to nothing for ages. Swings and round-a-bouts. Obviously it's wise not to bother following the sheeple path, but then that's common sense.

 

Thing is, surely the level of loot available will temper your gamestyle a little. If you come into a server where most of the loot seems to have been pilfered then the onus is on you to be more aggressive, or at least more engaging, with your fellow Chernarians.(or would that be Chernarussians?). Clearly if the loot is not in the houses then it's on the players and instead of simply picking things up off tables you'll need to work out a way of getting it off those players; fair means or foul.

[Forrelist 236]

You can usually gauge how long the experimental servers have been running for depending on what time of day they are all it.

For example 16:00-17:00 is more towards the end of the time and is usually night time. If they have just been restarted I find that they are all on about 12:00 - 13:00

There's your problem.

[DemonGroover 8836]

Well i just found an M4 in Staroye as well as a shit tonne of other gear on a Hardcore experimental server.

 

As has been said - get off the coast.

You think your having trouble

There were 4 of us last night and we have to share out the food as we find it, most places are looted yes but the west side of the map is a gold mine at the moment on experimental

But this fucking game is so broken, that if you sneeze on a person, all their fucking ammo is ruined.   Even the ammo in protecter cases is ruined if you shoot someone.   Why the fuck did they implement ruined ammo but there is zero hit detection?

I believe you meant to say, "but this fucking game is so Alpha", and of course if this is case you would be right.

 

As for the ammo being ruined? Very rarely is all the ammo ruined. In fact I have never come across a situation where all the ammo is ruined. Normally it's just the one round. If you keep on splitting the ammo you'll find that on more occasions than not you end up with one set of pristine and one set of ruined. Keep on splitting and combining the pristine ammo until you get down to the least amount ruined. As I say, in most cases it's just the one round, sometimes a couple.

 

I'm guessing you didn't realise this and just assumed as the ammo said ruined in the inventory that it was all ruined. It's not. It's also a similar thing to the bug that reports ammo as being empty (either in a magazine or box) when you view it, yet you take it into your inventory and lo and behold the ammo is actually full.

I am holding a virtual candlelight vigil in hope your desire for petty vengeance is lessened. :(

[PJSleaze 111]

I tried experimental for the first time the other day and had a similar experience- ran all the way to Stary from Solnichny, specifically hitting smaller cities along the way- nothing. Every door opened, and almost everything cleaned out. Only found 3 sodas and a machete along the way. This was a 25/40 at the time.

Ran into people in these normally empty little shit towns like Msta and Guglovo- they were desperate. I was attacked on sight by a person with a bat and a pipe wrench in those towns and I had less than they did!

It's probably a more realistic portrayal of what it would really be like, but since I was close to starving to death I called it a night and haven't been back.
