NoPaEr10 50 Posted January 26, 2015 Is it possible that civilian loot, like taloon backpacks, spawn in barracks?And btw, tbh I've hopped some servers and havent found a high cap vest in like 5 servers in the barracks. The server had just restarted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krazypenguin 174 Posted January 26, 2015 Is it possible that civilian loot, like taloon backpacks, spawn in barracks?And btw, tbh I've hopped some servers and havent found a high cap vest in like 5 servers in the barracks. The server had just restarted. 1 - No, not according to the map\spawn table I am aware of. It must have been left there by another player. 2a - High capacity vests can spawn on the bed, under the bed or on the floor in the barracks. However, they are one of about 90 possible items. I'm not good enough to calculate the probability of finding one across 5 barracks but i do know that one of the golden rules of DayZ is that if you want to find something, you won't find it. 2b - I'd also point out that if you were server hopping other people would be too, so the chance of you being the first person to hit the same barracks on 5 restarted servers in a row is probably quite low. I'm willing to bet that at least one or more was already looted by the time you got there.2c - This is precisely why I dislike public servers nowadays. Private servers FTW! ;-) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeves 98 Posted January 26, 2015 Just find some really fucking obscure foreign server that has persistence. Hop a few of those and you will be blown away by what you find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoPaEr10 50 Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I was server hopping because I wanted to be fully decked out once. But nvm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ValentinBk (DayZ) 60 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys. I was server hopping because I wanted to be fully decked out once. But nvmGetting fully geared doesn't mean that much, you can still very easily die, even from a bambi with a pickaxe. But you will be much more pissed since you spent more time gearing up than actually enjoying yourself. Edited January 26, 2015 by ValentinBk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I was server hopping because I wanted to be fully decked out once. But nvm Honestly it really is not your fault. If a broken game mechanic like server hopping is in the game then of course people will abuse it. You can't be blamed its up to the devs to find a creative way to stop this from happening or to outright stop it from happening by taking drastic measures until then you can't be blamed.

xhiril 43 Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I was server hopping because I wanted to be fully decked out once. But nvm You dont have to apologize for playing within the rules of the game in a way that makes you happy. Just be prepared for the hate other players will send your way if they know you server-hopped though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The server had just restarted.any weird unusual loot found anywhere was probably dropped by another player. Just think. if you got there sooner, that taloon backpack would be a hunters backpack. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sachad 1016 Posted January 26, 2015 Don't worry about people ragging on you for hopping. Plenty of private servers for them. I personally don't like hopping myself, which is why I rarely play on public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoPaEr10 50 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Wow guys, I really wouldn't have thought that that many ppl aren't disliking / not accepting server hopping. In the end, I died on a high pop lying on sniperhill in elektro within seconds. I guess I won't be hopping server in the future. :D Edited January 27, 2015 by NoPaEr10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end, I died on a high pop lying on sniperhill in elektro within seconds. I guess I won't be hopping server in the future. :D Meh, it's not the best way to play the game but, honestly, you're making your own experience worse for yourself than for anybody else. I'll admit that, in the distant past, I hopped a bit. I quickly learned that that ballistic helmet might protect me from a single shot to the head, but I'll still be unconscious and all it takes is another shot. It's just not worth all of the work. If you happen to find that stuff, awesome. But it doesn't give you much of an advantage at all. http://youtu.be/9walGR25zUI?list=PLPkJVd_A4Swmo3SHPvyEyrBctcc6_a_Q_ The first four videos that play will show you that the only benefit to getting military gear over civilian gear (other than the ballistic helmet & guns, though most go for a Mosin and Magnum, Sawnoff or AK74U any way) is inventory space... And even that might not be a good thing. It's much smarter just to get some nice civilian loot (green raincoat, a hat of your choice, black/tan cargo pants, aviators, gloves, bandanna face mask, some wellies and a chest holster is my ultimate outfit). It protects you as much as military gear, has plenty of room and is easy as dicks to find, meaning that pristine items (which protect you more) are easier to get. I think that's an expression... Right? It's especially nice that you can find pilot helmets or gorka helmets in civilian areas. They're just as effective as the ballistic helmet and, if you want camo, the pilot helmet can now be sprayed green.

Evil Minion 943 Posted January 28, 2015 hopping is like fooling arround with 5 different girls in one night.Five ugly girls - which you won't even notice because you just happen to avoid the pretty ones.* You probably found civilian lot because your fellow server hoppers were faster than you. *The game is much more fun if you do not server hop or loot empty servers.
