solus84 19 Posted July 3, 2012 Continuation form http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=25968After losing my DRM and x120 DRM rounds along with my M9SD with x80 rounds, OMW to bizieno-something to visit the 2x markets there for matches I was killed due to a server nuke where 20+ people died:dodgy: So Instead of trying to get back to bizieno-something, I went to Elektro Determined!.. For 3 hours I server hopped (for research, No PVP) and went between the market and the pub... x1000 watches to 0 Box of matches. After another round of fail and about to quit for the night, something caught my eye (inner monologue) WHAT WAS THIS! COULD IT BE? NO, IT HAS TO BE THE END OF A BOLT OR A COKE CAN THAT APPEARS TO BE FALLING THROUGH THE GROUND! The holy grail was found, just a few steps and it was mine.. closer.. closer.. finally it was found..... Gun fire erupts through the window of the Market striking me several times ( as I said no PVP was involved on my part:() I DC'd with a whole lot of nothing and 1300 hp.. My feeling is still that the Box of matches are still too scarce (which hinders solo players) and I have the shittiest Luck ever. Another thing is there is basically no communication ability between players has just turned everyoine one into Bandits... Shoot first ask questions later. It kinda makes a bigger issue for survivors:( I even feel like shooting people first now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fink2011 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Server hopping and d/c'ing to avoid death flag your account as an exploiter. The server then proceeds to make sure that no match boxes spawn near your location, and any that are already spawned will be instantly deleted when you reach a 500m proximity.The lesson here is:Stop exploiting and you will get matches.

Nalamin 0 Posted July 3, 2012 I agree he shouldn't be exploiting...but his bigger point is that matches/lighters should be much more common in the game. I probably have fifty matchboxes and 6 lighters here in my house and I don't even smoke. In a world where 99% of people are dead or infected what happened to all those fire sources?Just curious.

solus84 19 Posted July 3, 2012 Agreed about dc'ing/hopping but I know I didn't do it for the wrong reasons.. If I'm banned so be it, I will live. I wasn't using it for my own advantage. But if you read part 1 one you would read how I am finding items that would be much less common than a typical box of matches/ lighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted July 3, 2012 I dont have that many lighters and no matches..and i smoke. In an apocalypse if you come to my house you will be relying on the toaster or the oven ;) I never server hop and generally find matches within the first 20 minutes of a new spawn. Don't rely on those two locations all the time..there is a lot more places where matches will spawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
