youngjediknight 51 Posted November 9, 2014 So I guess this must be what a server reset looks like when it repopulates the loot?? It was like black friday shopping at the NWAF LOL ... Care for a Makarov ... or 4??? LOL I feel sorry for any of the others that decided to hit up the SWAF first LOL ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanincalgary 20 Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) lucky son of a bitch. When I find this bug it's normally garages or construction sites. used to happen in experimental a lot at green mountain. Bonus when you pick something up or put it in a bag, something else immediately spawns. Edited November 9, 2014 by ryanincalgary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 9, 2014 Well I really just made out with a bunch of pistols. And of course of all the ammo there, I didn't find any for my SKS nor did I find a Mosin which I've got a pristine scope and muzzle thingy just waiting to be used. I got some nice digs too I think I'm looking pretty military post apocalyptic chic right now. All pristine threads, by the way. Believe you me, my hand was shaking on my mouse trying to rummage through the stuff. I'd been checking the player list frantically and it was increasing. Only about a dozen or so but man I was freaking out. Once I had my fill, I made out of there like a bat out of hell and ran straight south ... literally all the way to SWAF. I was aiming for Chernos with my compass but my navigation really blows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geckofrog7 1168 Posted November 9, 2014 dat .50 update tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 9, 2014 Yea I was thinking it had something to do with the update. So we basically traded water from wells and getting hungry and more thirsty faster for more pristine loot and servers that puke loot all over NWAF. Good trade.

Bonappetit 117 Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Couple of days ago I found 7 protector cases inside a fire station, soon enough they started confusing me as I couldn't remember where I've put each item ^-^Now they're a decoration for some random bush, should of put them back on shelves where I found them :) Edited November 9, 2014 by Miracool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Yea so after I got all kitted out and made this post, I went back online ... not 10 minutes later, some A-HOLE decided to say "hi" then shoot me in my face. It's cool, I got a Mosin with stabilizier and scope. Even gave it a cool paint job and got like 60 of the nato rounds ... Imma go hunt anyone now LOL.

iRosco 1 Posted November 10, 2014 -Sigh-...and YET ANOTHER KOS screwball is born...The game just promotes KOS behavior. i tried to be friendly but it gets boring as 90% of the time you just get destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Zod 1118 Posted November 10, 2014 I got a server where all pavlovo barracks and myshkino do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 10, 2014 Ok ok ... not sure what "KOS" stands for but I'm pretty sure I know. What I like about DayZ is it really gets at your human nature. I was P.O.'ed to all hell after getting shot in the face and I was still VERY P.O.'ed when I made the post above. But by the time I found my sniper spot with the Mosin, I was calm again. Heck, I even spotted a semi bambi with obligatory motor cycle helmet and useless baseball bat. I was about to off him but then I saw like 4 zeds converge on him!! Then 2 more LOL!!!!! I started picking off the zeds instead. Just when I thought I was going to get Hero Of The Day status, the semi bambi friggin collapsed!!!! I finished off the rest and ran to him to see if he still had a pulse and maybe gaurd his body while he recovered ... but then I accidentally pressed HIDE BODY instead. I'm sorry random semi bambi guy. I was the kitted out dude hovering over you in the green chernos security beret trying to gaurd your body. Sorry I accidentally buried you instead bro.

Well when someone is dead you get that "hide body" option, so obviously he was dead already. Edited November 10, 2014 by Yazar8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IReadTheAgreement 313 Posted November 10, 2014 What's with that god awful watermark? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben_uk 24 Posted November 10, 2014 I keep seeing this now. Saw it in two servers today. At first I thought it was some kind of setup, like I was being lined up for a kill by a bunch of bandits shedding gear or something. I found 4 SKS's, 2 Magnums, crossbow, a ton of ammo and a ton of other items all in one building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted November 10, 2014 What's with that god awful watermark?Someone is marketing an alternative forum me thinks. Subtly. :huh: I've run into this on 2 different servers, once in the jail at Green Mountain and once again at the back fire station in Elektro. To be honest the way the gear was laid out I thought it was some sort of a summoning hack, but based upon what everyone is saying it seems it's a loot spawn bug related to persistence? Curious what someone like accolyte or boneboys knows about it... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 10, 2014 So this is a bug then? And again, really, there was not WOW loot. At best, I saw a couple SKS's in the barracks and the 4 pistols at the same place that I posted above. And as I mentioned, of ALL the ammo everywhere, NONE fit the guns I was already carrying lol. And oddly, notice that the SWAF (last couple of pics) was practically barren!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted November 10, 2014 It is a bug that can be exploited by players. To get an empty area to start looting up again, you have to find the few remaining items that have not been looted. Sometimes its not possible because of some ammo on top of a locker, or things inside buildings that cannot be picked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huf757 82 Posted November 10, 2014 It is nice to find but only problem is I have found that on servers where that is happening which is basically all the persistent servers that there are many many places with nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pauldog 18 Posted November 10, 2014 The game just promotes KOS behavior. i tried to be friendly but it gets boring as 90% of the time you just get destroyed. Ditto! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngjediknight 51 Posted November 11, 2014 So playing again last night in Elektro, I found the same sort of loot bonanza again in both fire stations. Same sort of stuff in the first post I made. And just the same, a lot of other places were completely barren of loot. It would be nice though if it wasn't so much useless stuff like sewing kits and portable stoves.

Apollo'sFire 31 Posted November 11, 2014 It's a persistence bug, the servers run out of memory and do a flush of everything, just so happens to be in high traffic/loot buildings. We encountered this for the first time on our server after getting lock ups and restart issues, we had to turn persistence off and so far it's been working fine.
