dimitri117 0 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) hey guys there is a problem with the loot. No one can find any loot on a server making this difficult to play this game. I hope for a fix by the time 0.56 update comes along. sincerely Ghost Edited May 11, 2015 by Ghost Recon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sachad 1016 Posted May 11, 2015 yes That's rule #1 of survival: Flee the coast if you want to live. Stay, and you'll either starve or get killed by someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CornProducts 315 Posted May 11, 2015 The loot may be fixed as early as the next patch, but no sooner. ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethink 984 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) The loot won't be "fixed" until 1.0 is released. Edited May 11, 2015 by freethink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomspawn 215 Posted May 11, 2015 The loot won't be "fixed" until 1.0 is released. You are very optimistic. I say 1.9 before it's fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mercules 1290 Posted May 11, 2015 You are very optimistic. I say 1.9 before it's fixed. Actually for some people the loot won't be "fixed" to their satisfaction until they start with a pristine MP5 with suppressor, 2 mags for it, 3 cans of peaches, can opener, backpack, cooked meat, and water bottle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therandomredstone 431 Posted May 11, 2015 The amount of loot in a server depends on persistence, server time, server population, and location. If the sever is 30 minutes from restart on a persistent server with 40 other people on the coast then when you spawn you aren't very likely to find anything. If the server just restarted and there is only 2-3 other people on the server then you should find loot pretty easily on the coast. You just have to put 2 and 2 together. Heading inland always helps, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarryPotter (DayZ) 172 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) My general rule of thumb is... If a town has at least 3 empty buildings they are all empty. Go to the next town. You can survive on the coast if you look hard enough. Today I spawned between Cherno and Elektro. Crafted stone knife, found a burlap sack and some rope.. Made a backpack. Hit every building that people never look in all the way to Kamy was energised in 40 mins. Went inland had gillie hat blaze and lots of ammo within the next 40 mins + so much food I'm leaving tins behind, It's not hard....Server was UKA 1pp server with 40/40 Edited May 11, 2015 by HarryPotter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comikz 218 Posted May 11, 2015 Do people just completely ignore the rest of the map when gearing up and playing DayZ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarryPotter (DayZ) 172 Posted May 11, 2015 Do people just completely ignore the rest of the map when gearing up and playing DayZ?Most of the time. I think 90% of players still check the same old buildings as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethink 984 Posted May 11, 2015 I didn't die of starvation and also never ate berries or apples in exp but let's not pretend it works perfectly. I also never stay on the coast. The pattern is: Day 1 to Day 3: quite easy, tinned food every whereDay 4: Panic start eating apples/berriesDay 5: Pretend there's not a problem and everything is great.Day 6: As Day 5Day 10: Go back to the old loot system. I love the cle and HATE loot spawning on restarts but this pretending cle is working perfectly is nuts. It's not working perfectly but we are getting glimpses of how great it'll be when it does.

Last I saw the devs said it was broke and rolled back to an amalgamation of the 0.55 and 0.54 loot spawn system? So if the devs didn't say it's working perfectly who did?

HarryPotter (DayZ) 172 Posted May 12, 2015 The usual DayZ fanboys that live in denial and will never admit anything is broken.The only thing I ever really oppose is people saying its impossible to survive.... its really not, I'd say it still too easy if you know where to look for stuff. No one in their right mind can say the CLE is working perfectly just yet! I think most people here accept the game as it is (not broken but a WIP). Its just irritating reading posts about how its impossible to play cos there is no loot on a server as the OP was saying... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted May 12, 2015 Actually for some people the loot won't be "fixed" to their satisfaction until they start with a pristine MP5 with suppressor, 2 mags for it, 3 cans of peaches, can opener, backpack, cooked meat, and water bottle.Let's be realistic, now. C'mon.Three mags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
