Guest Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Seems like they have made AKM and AK101s share the same spawn point but made the AK101 the more common of the two. Ehr..maybe. We found more AKM (especially mags (30/75) then AK101s but that's only refering to airfields, milybases, jails, etc.. Imho heavy weaponspawn is way too high, AK's spawning like M4A1 back in the days. (First day when the new patch was deployed, we where 4 guys, runnin with 8 AK's across the map. We lost 2 AK's during some bad bugs and found another 6 AK's, that all happend within 3h of gameplay.) But devs might need some data on that, so i'm sure it's intended. Edited August 3, 2014 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted August 3, 2014 Really seems to be like someone mentioned: Stuff that's left by someone blocks the loot system. Result: I found absolutely nothing to eat. Only tons of rotten things and ruined food left by others.Not sure if it's easier to survive when you're geared up, but as a fresh spawn I currently have no idea how to survive. You either die because you find no food, or, if you find something, you die because you find no bandages or clothes to make rags of.Getting yourself established on 0.48 is tough. Once you get yourself healthy and have any kind of weapon at all, you're fine though... it just might take a few attempts. Went to the north west, met one of these one-hit-wonders...Was that where the unnamed town has appeared/disappeared a few times (014 034)? Or elsewhere? Just curious.

Tatanko 5591 Posted August 3, 2014 Also, I explored the northern part of the map pretty extensively the last two nights and I'm pretty certain there have been no noticeable map changes. There definitely weren't any towns sneaked into this build, nor anything small I don't think. Not surprised in the least because of Senchi being out of the office for a month, I just figured I would share so that the information is out there for anyone else who might be curious.

Guest Posted August 3, 2014 Never spawned in Berez nor Gorka. Usually it's somwhere in the fields or north east; Svetlojarsk There are spawns near Berez (Berez is really big if u see the whole surrouding as Berez) and Gorka (i meant Polana, wich is like 3min to Gorka). Grishno vybor and lopa are cities i whas able to reach with a map through google. Otherwise i had no clue where i'm going....Russian road sign and roman lettered maps don't make sense either.And still....even in stable when i join a random server i usually have enough loot from 1 city. Novo' alone get's me wel geared and looted for a long long time. What i wanted to tell yer was, don't check for the big common towns - try lootin those smallers citys (especially when you'r on EXP) to get some decent stuff.

I agree I was surprised how abundant the AKM and AK101 were my first time through. When they were barracks only it made them more rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherryx 5 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Was that where the unnamed town has appeared/disappeared a few times (014 034)? Or elsewhere? Just curious.It was just north of Gvozdno. Was heading back there for water.Was actually 2 zombies at once, I had only a pitchfork and was barely able to hit them at all. First hit from them -> You are dead. Shit happens :) Btw, that apple thing works. Got 20 apples from one tree by simply hammering F. Edited August 3, 2014 by Cherryx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Prolly the only way anyone is going to get any loot ;) with the current loot respawn situation. Depending what loot u refering too, i highly doubt there are more then 5-10 tents per server cuz of junkitems blockin loot to spawn - maybe we where unlucky, but it took us almost 10h to find a single tent. I even don't know why they made the tents sooooo rare, cuz imho, they should spawn around the whole map (supermarket, civilian, etc.) - i found like 25 handguns in 2h but not a single tent. The only reason i can imaging they set the spawn of tents that low is, the sever get down to knees if we got like 100 tents on the server with items in?/on? it. Totally offtopic (natives only): I appreciate every single correction of my grammar, if u feel to help me (did i said that?), please gimme a short bump via PM how grammar work. Thanks in advance.

fabrix7777 14 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) There is no respawn at restart anymore. What do you mean? when a server is restarted, loot is not randomized and repopulated anymore? Edited August 3, 2014 by Fabrix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trev186 389 Posted August 3, 2014 Went to the north west, met one of these one-hit-wonders... On the way, I found nothing but two notes and a lot of rotten stuff.Will try the apples next :) EDIT: Next try: Spawned, first thing I see: Zombie running in my direction. 3 others follow. Bleeding, ruined rags. Poor guy doesn't know that smart players close the doors behind them when looting high risk area...someone should have responded to his note to let him know!

Irish. 4886 Posted August 3, 2014 The Z's are not the problem, nor is the melee once you have adapted.What you do have to keep in mind is that not all weapons are equal. Today I've been using a hoe and there is no real problem taking out Z's, once you've learned how to deal with them.If you don't get a contact whack sound, then you have not connected with the Z.Axes are still good but the pick axe is my favourite but both are pretty rare (until you find one, then you find buckets full).. I'm not a fan of the shovel and avoid getting into trouble :D . Not had the dreaded LMB bug today and I've been whacking my way from Dubrovka down to Nadezhdino. So what you're saying is you've found yourself a good hoe. ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnabus 1708 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I have no idea what makes it so hard, but I have a terrible time, especially with crawlers to make it out alive. Every time I finally get a good aim they're lunging at me, I'm side stepping, they hit me anyway, and I have to re-aim while circling them - and then it starts all over.I have for some reason not been able to kill a zed without taking massive damage myself, often dying within one or two minutes as a fresh spawn.I have tried the farming hoe, which was my earlier favorite when I had no axe, didn't work. Same with the sickle, the baseball bat, the crowbar, the pipe wrench, and god have mercy even the freaking fire extinguisher. I am starting to get frustrated. Every time I am passably geared (Wool jacket, Canvas Pants, even with no backpack and about two cans of soda) an encounter with a zombie pretty much has me start over since all my crap gets ruined. I apologize for the rage tears, I shall dry them alone in the corner of shame.Really the only issue I have is getting ruined gear, I'll get killed pretty quick too, sometimes as a freshie, at least until I find something to fight back with. The worst are the immediate respawning zeds, especially when there are 2 of those types on me at a time. What is the point of killing them bastards if they just keep coming back? They are as relentless as terminators. Had a pair on me today and it was the third pair that finally did me in. Got knocked out and bled to death. No matter how far you run from where you killed them last they always pop back up right where you are. I hate that. What ever weapon you have you have to pay attention to the "sweet spot" that is where you hear the sound of making the connection with the zed. When you know where that sweet spot is, and it is not the same for the different types of zeds, hoppers have a certain sweet spot as do sallies, uncle bucks and the soldiers, you'll have it made. Once you find that then it becomes pretty easy. I have found the splitting axe and the farmers hoe best right now. This is why I like to play pretty much only at night now, zeds don't react as fast or from as far and it is easier to sneak up behind them and one hit them. The bad news: I have had the LMB bug in this current exp. edition with an axe but not with anything else. The good news: If I run a few steps in any direction I can start hitting again, at least right now. Edited August 3, 2014 by Barnabus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
