Frying pans are still borked :(

Also, Loot-Goblins will have a bad time since even one tent full of items will cause major (huuuuuuuge) lags. It may also cause "session lost" when still close to the tents and trying to interact with stuff.

And I found another loot-explosion building in Pavlovo on a 1pp server:

 

"[uKA] UK Alliance - All Welcome | This is Hardcore. Are You?"

It's in that green house (south-ish of church) in Pavlovo

(edit)

funny thing is, there is a loot-explosion on the 3pp server of that same hive too. (same building).

:o

Two things really still bother me tho, has anyone laid their hands on an AKM and how is it now after the supposed tweaks? I cant for the love of me find AKM mags or the gun itself.

Second thing being I am wondering if anyone else actually managed to color the Leather Sack? Maybe it was just a bug for me due to the laggyness of the camp. I guess noone else tried.. :(

I found an AKM at a helicrash, no mag though.

Add to this the fact that Hicks says items in camps count towards the CLE and we have a recipe for dead servers within a week or two. At some point, the only way to find what you need will be to find and raid camps.

 

Do you refer to the PAX stream with JamJar? I think that Hicks mentioned that he wants to limit the amount of automatic weapons used on a server. I don't know how he wants to implement such a limit - on the public hive this seems nearly impossible.

 

But Eugen confirmed on multiple occasions that picked up items stored in containers/player inventory do not influence the respawning of new items. Maybe they will add additional rules for automatic weapons.

I played on the same 1pp server yesterday and did not find much stuff. It was not really high pop but every town I check was empty. I'm not complaining about this - I really like it when you have to struggle to find stuff and survive but it feels so different to other servers.

Where are all the zombies and why the fuck are batteries still ultra rare?

Batteries are not ultra rare.

[KenoSkir88 181]

As soon as I cleaned my M4A1 I will post screenshots of it for proof.

To be honest I feel that I really accomplished something. That's the feeling I want to get when finding such a gun.

I possess something which almost no one has. :)

 

Gotta love some good old fashioned M4 porn..

 

 

 

 

[Senodog 96]

Is the GP-5 and SSh68 Helmet in the loot table and spawning before I go on a 16 hours loot run to find it.

I also found multiple 9V batteries on different servers.

Okay so found quite a game breaking bug. Every time I go near my camp I can't interact with anything and I end up being kicked off the server with a "session lost" error... only seems to happen near my camp

[VVarhead 185]

Still way too much food and guns, the tent cities spawn all kinds of ammo, it's ridiculous by now.

 

I thought the CLE could be changed in an instant now? Loot is still soooo vast.

well, it seems to be less than in .57 and if we are lucky loot will be more scarce with upcoming builds. Maybe the devs just want to give us time to adapt. That aside, yes, loot has been overabundant in the last iterations

[Super_Duty 466]

My experience as well, low pop public server, way north, clearing loot to see what re-spawns over a couple days.  I left the area once for 6 hours, came back to find limited number of new items.  One beverage, some loose ammo, misc. small items and the occasional firearm.  Many locations were empty, and what did spawn was spread apart quite a bit.  Some buildings were completely empty for the better part of the day yesterday, very different than .58 Exp.

 

I'm playing on one private server and spending most of my time in one small town, at least once a day I take almost everything from the town and hoard it or destroy or compact it if possible. There's a lot of doors that are closed at reset so I can gauge the traffic. The last few times about all that's respawning is one food and one low end weapon or ammo. There's many vacant spawn points, items with a quantity or percentage do not seem to degrade and despawn. The deer stand in town seems to work, optics for rifles dergade and despawn, always 2-3 deerstand items when I come back after having taken or thrown them. 

[jayfkay (DayZ) 185]

You realize that CLE doesnt work in the way that it completely respawns stuff in the whole city? it respawns it ANYWHERE across the map. seeing a couple of towns or cities being relatively lootfree shouldnt be too uncommon of a sight, especially nowadays where the majority is up north

[entspeak 374]

Now, this is an old video and may not be entirely accurate - it's a best guess, but it seems pretty close and gives a general idea of how loot spawning for the CLE works:

I have found a M4A1 yesterday but it was damaged

and in the wrong place so i think someone put it there maybe?!

Please post that on the bug tracker, if you haven't already. https://feedback.dayz.com/my_view_page.php

 

It is very important that the devs look at this.

[odin_lowe 3686]

there will be "shiny" mil. gear at all mil gear spawning points, BUT if you find an M4A1 there will be an respawn timer of 4 hours before an new M4 spawns at any mil gear spawning point of the map.

 

AND this is great, no easy gearing up for clans with "clan server...join=kick" servers.

 

if you onlly find "grandfathers old socks"....try faster hopping or adapt on how this game will going.

 

easy it is 

I like that a lot, but the problem right now is those exploiting the respawn mechanic and creating lootsplosions like before. I've seen it in both the public and private servers.

 

When the lootsplosions are gone, then it will even things much more right now. I tend to play on the private servers to avoid this as much as possible, and avoid server hoppers too, but as for lootsplosions, they still happen...   :(

Nope, not the wrong place. Both the new enter-able long barrack, and the officers barracks share the same loot tables. There's less exploits of lootsplosions in the long ones, but chances are still pretty good to find one there! Just need a weapon cleaning kit and you're good!  :thumbsup:

[odin_lowe 3686]

I found an AKM at a helicrash, no mag though.

Mags for the AKM can be found at the tents of wither the NWAF or Myshkino tent city. They are kinda rare though, similar to the AK74 mags. Avoid the long barracks or officer barrack as they mostly have NATO and heli crash item spawn.

[Rammit (DayZ) 153]

Has it already been reported that fireplaces don't seem to go out? Their light shines like a beacon for hours upon hours.

I can't be 100% certain, but I really want to say that I found a drum mag at a heli crash once during Experimental. Anyone else?

[Super_Duty 466]

It was identified during Exp. testing and reported.  Unclear as to when it will be addressed. I do hope they tone down the radius as well.

I want to say yes as well... been a while though.

[agouti 105]

agree. most guns you find should be old rusty unreliable badly damaged guns and no one shot kill alien super weapons.

 

No, most guns you find should be in emaculate pristine condition. You just need to spend hours removing the cosmoline. Now THAT would make dayz realistic.
