Lostc4use 1 Posted March 20, 2014 So im a week into dayz, me and my friends are loving it (yh there are tons of bugs, but, its alpha and we understand that concept).We are our changing gearing tactic, so far we would spawn in a empty server,run go to balota airstrip and server loop till we all got full military THEN go into action, but this takes too long and its not rly needed, we will die anyway due to pvp or some bug.So now we are spawning and running straight for elektro and gear up there, we check the firestations, the school, the hospital, the supermarket and the police thingy, but from what I see on the webs the best house for weapon/bullet looting is the "piano house", is there one in elektro? If not, where is it and is it rly that good? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bearserk 57 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) I'll bet you 10 bucks someone is gonna cry about you joining empty servers. Also yes, the piano house has a good chance of spawning weapons and food. Especially shotguns spawn in there. Edited March 20, 2014 by Bearserk 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lostc4use 1 Posted March 20, 2014 As if I care about what they say ^^So, where is it? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amiasfree 262 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Ammo, food, melee weapons and rarely guns. I've seen all guns aside from M4s spawn there. There are several other rather common residential buildings that are worth your time since the latest patch though (and many before that), not just these. Piano houses are in most major towns I think. Edited March 20, 2014 by Amias Free 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bearserk 57 Posted March 20, 2014 Not sure. Think it's near the coast. It looks like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Survivor_Ted 269 Posted March 20, 2014 why 1. Joining empty servers to get loot.2. Server hopping to get even MORE loot.3. 'Going into action' can only interpret this as KOS'ing everyone and everything they see, whether it be fresh spawn or fully kitted. why thats why 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOPMO3 119 Posted March 20, 2014 Yet another reason to put in ruthless zombies, and lots of them. And yes, I don't understand the idea of empty servers "till we're full military". On a scale from 1 (not at all) to 10 (completely agree), who much do you agree with the following statement? "I wish I could respawn with full military gear." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacific_coast 632 Posted March 20, 2014 that is the majority of players.server hopping is real, we gotta deal."going into action" aka being a kos crew is the only thing to do right now. run around a give out food and meds?try to be "friendly" and talk to people?this is not a social network or a chat room, its a violent video game deathmatch atm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Going into action' can only interpret this as KOS'ing everyone and everything they see, whether it be fresh spawn or fully kitted. why thats whyAfter my first ten hours playing, I determined the first two things were 'what to do' since I kept getting killed by KoSers before finding a weapon even.If a player assumes #3 is 'what to do', it probably has something to do with my reasoning for doing 1 and 2. Of course, after I learned server hopping was looked down upon I stopped doing it. Generally. Okay, I did for about an hour earlier trying to find a black can of spraypaint to see if I could make my fireaxe camo like my mosin. Found one finally, and I could not. -_- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOPMO3 119 Posted March 20, 2014 "going into action" aka being a kos crew is the only thing to do right now. That's my biggest issue, is that the alpha doesn't feel like a designed game yet. Aside from "Let's just kill each other", there really isn't a "Direction" to the game yet. That worries, me, especially since next is Beta, and that's too late to rework the design/direction of a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lostc4use 1 Posted March 20, 2014 I dont see any problem with server hooping, to be honest it would be great if the gear wouldnt stick with you when you change server, but you cant do that because servers are unstable atm, you cant stick to one server,so yh server hooping is fine.About the KOS, dude.. what else is there to do on this game as it is right now? Zombies are no threat (grab an axe), food and water are no threat either (if ithey were the KOS would even be greater), so, whatelse? I tried to be friendly once, the guy (taht just spawned) punched me and I went unconscious with 1 or 2 punches max, then he killed me. KOS is the way! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted March 20, 2014 You would think if you are jumping on empty servers to get geared up because it is 'too hard' to do it on a half challenging medium to full server you could at least explore and find the piano house by yourself. I mean..there isn't any around to shoot you is there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acoastalhero 46 Posted March 20, 2014 Back to topic people. No there is not a piano house in electro, not one single piano house. Please someone correct me if i am wrong but i know this map and i have never searched a piano house in electro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please someone correct me if i am wrong but i know this map and i have never searched a piano house in electroYou are correct. People get the piano house and the factory confused. They have the same outside textures but the factories are longer, and have the machine room, with an upstairs. Although they also spawn guns some times in the upstairs of those factories, but no where near the same amount as the piano houses. There ones you were probably hearing about are in Berezino. There are two of them there, and a factory, a school, hospital, police station, and new medic building. It is where me and my friends usually go to look for loot when we spawn. There is also two piano houses and other good buildings in the town right by north east air field. I think there is a piano house in cherno, but I am not certain as to the other places. The pictures are correct though on the first page as to what it looks like, and imagine that but longer as the factory building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvsilverwing 241 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Not sure. Think it's near the coast. It looks like this That's the Berezino Piano House, there's 2 in Berezino. There's also one in Cherno I believe, though. Edited March 21, 2014 by dvsilverwing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
