North-West airfield dying? Who misses the NE airfeild?

[dayzzsyd 9]

Anyone ventured out west recently? Finding the mid - full pop servers no one ventures out west.

 

We are back to the Kambiwobo / Electro cluster that makes the game run like complete shite when in those areas on a high pop server.

 

Went on 4 full pop servers over the weekend to try and find players and the northwest airfield and tents were deserted. Even felt safe enough to light a fire right by one of the pill boxes.

 

Am I the only one who misses the NE airfield? Now the hackers are much fewer in numbers and M4's are rare I think it would be awesome place for clans and players to PVP.

 

Anything to get players of the coast, theres more to Dayz than electro!

I for one miss the NE airfield, in the mod I spent most of my time there(for sniping purposes). But there's really no reason to go there with only two buildings having loot spawns.

Go to NWAF on persistence off servers right after they restart. You'll find your players.

Dichina is the Place to go ...If you want to get shot! ;)

Not really much of value there anymore. The hangars almost only spawns boots. Only has two barracks.

I don't the less static military spawn points in the map the better.

 

Ideally only the north west airfield would contain a static military loot location and the other mil loot would be dynamic.

I really, really like this idea. The more dynamic (like helicopter crash sites) the less exploitative the players can be. All of my deaths so far except for one have been at a static military loot spawn. In several of those cases, the attackers were simply waiting for players to happen by.

 

Side note: Do wrecked/destroyed Humvees ever spawn anything? I keep finding them with nothing around or in them.

Same, I've found about 15 of those here and there in the last few days and there hasn't been one single item around them...  But the regular cars and trucks and stuff spawn things, right next to the humvees... So I don't think they do, but I could be wrong.

No longer true. The new hanger building has a truck spawn and is full of loot. There is also a new Restaurant they have provided us access to.

 

Besides, behind the hanger is a water hole and some close houses.....the apc wrecks in the middle of the airfield spawn SKS / Ammo. Still a good place. Perhaps it could do with a ATC tower but its a thoroughfare from Berezino to Novo

If I'm around Krasnostav I'll still poke my head down to NE to see if there's anything for me. It's definitely never a destination I head to, but if it's on the way I'll at least swing through.

This Is too accurate lol. Since the new iteration of the prison island basically everyone tries to go there at least once per life , so they eventually find themselves floating up to dichina military base ... I've had multiple fire fights there recently , and a truck chase lol !

Completely impossible as long as server hopping is a thing. So many people loot bases when the servers are empty and then join the coast clusterfuck when they are full.

[Jex 1104]

We should give the players what they want and just have electro and the prison island to run around in just so we can play COD.

I think castle would be a great place for PVP ...defending the castle 

[Zboub le météor 250]

on full pop servers, cherno and elektro are the places to be if you want some pvp. it a bad idea to PVP there if you are a lonewolf, you'll find large crews and relentless aggressive bambie waves.

 

on low pop servers, pvp are located on military bases and NWAF. people go there to gear up and compulsive looter go there to find the last part of their beloved tacticool weapons. most of the kills i take there are high reward with little risk, compulsive looters are bad at PVP, gearing up players don't hide for long time and are easy to spot.

 

private shard are more hard to read, you never know what to expect and where people will be. you can only know that after a restart, camping near a military base is always a good idea to take out running in or running out players.
