Will We Ever Get To A Point Where... [SERVER RESTART]

[Katana67 2907]

Will we ever get to a point where server restarts are infrequent?

 

To me, this is something that needs to happen if folks are to remain on a particular server or hive.

 

I understand that now, people mainly restart servers to regenerate loot, so when the loot respawning gets implemented, I foresee some big changes with regard to server restarts.

 

However, even in the mod, they were done constantly. Moreover, general server stability would have to improve. I don't really want to be bothered with DayZ's (ARMA's) cumbersome and blinding server browser any more than I have to. Likewise, it breaks immersion for me having to constantly wait for restarts, but that's not a big issue in the long-term.

I sure hope so. As you say, for loot situations it's a necessary evil - but it needs to be highly stable in the future. Real immersion breaker and can cause issues when booted in a compromising position.

I have always wondered what will happen when they have bases/tents presistent to one server. Will the restart wipe everything out? Even without manual, there is auto restarts for some hosting sites.

Yes we will. I think when we get the loot respawning without a server restart, so when one segment of the map is empty it will automatically respawn (Dean said in his last devlog i think) then there is not going to be a need to restart the server

Yep, the quadrant loot respawn is inbound as per Rocket's statements at Rezzed. Like I said in the OP, the mod had respawning loot and still required frequent server restarts.
