This idea helps keep me hopeful for the future.

Anyone know how long a firefighter helmet sticks around? Was playing with one or two other people on the server most of the evening and made my way from home to Msta was looting the town pretty willy nilly because I figured the one other person would be somewhere cool. I came across a damaged firefighter helmet outside the door of a house and wondered if that meant someone had been by in the last half hour.

 

I'm playing just on one private server and noticing less and less loot respawning in the maybe 5km radius I'm spending most of my time in. I went out of my way last night to try move everything like the freshie jeans that were direct swapped for new pants that seem to block the spawn nodes. The Kami police station had nothing but spawned and discarded road flares and swapped jean for example. The deer stand in Tulga hasn't spawned anything in 2 days and the town of Tulga itself still just replaces 1-2 canned goods and a box of ammo even though it's been emptied.

 

My camp is up to 2 barrels, 2 taloon bags, and a protective case and seems to behave alright now that I've avoided containers in containers and improvised backpacks.

 

Fireplaces last through restarts sometimes but also despawn mid way through for some unknown reason, Was storing pumpkins in an extinguished invisible one that had been around for a day or so and it poofed last night while I was away. I had one a few nights ago to cook fish on my way back to camp and put down my fish trap while cooking, forgot, left, came back a half hour or more later and the fire was gone but the fish trap was still where I left it, no reset.

Fair enough. Thank you very much. Didn't want to waste time swimming over there if it could be confirmed that my search would be fruitless. Finally acquired some netting today but only 3 so I'd like a few more for some gun wraps for my team. Beans!

 

Found lots on just one server so it is respawning, all found on the south east point between Kami and Solnichiny.

[BleedoutBill 1636]

No, man. I'm pretty sure I've got it straight....

 

If I remember correctly Hicks was glowing about increased server performance on high pop servers (which was partially due to pulling out the infected) and optimization tweaks both server and client side.

 

According to the devs our client side patches see optimization regularly as well.

Hicks said that the server was running at 15fps, but occasionally dipping to 5fps. After a big dip, the server would have problems recovering. The problem is that lots of things (game physics / desync) break below 10fps.

 

IIRC, the server is currently running at 20fps, without any big dips.

 

Apparently, the new standard is 30fps. Hicks says that this will allow riding in a V3S as a passenger, without getting sick to your stomach. It will also allow for aerial vehicles.

Does Skalisty Island have boat, and therefore possible netting, spawns?

I actually spawned my current character on that island, which was a challange. But none of the boats had any loot at them although the rest of the island did.

They've changed the way boats work, those three or four in the bay on the island are static and none of those anywhere spawn anything anymore. Now extra ones will pop up here and there like a heli crash or dynamic cop car and spawn loot while it's around presumably four hours like a heli crash but who knows.

^This leads me to believe either tomorrow or Monday-Tuesday before we see any update activity at all.

So lately I have been playing on Gents of Novo UK server and the city is completely looted with no stuff other than saline or some shoes in there. Is loot respawning or is it just players taking the gear? It's sad because even people avoid it too because if they don't bring food they will either die or pick apples.

I spawned one of my private guys there.  Luckily, the deerstand had a hunting scope and hunters pants.  One of the sheds had 2 sodas.  Talon in the lighthouse.  More food, ammo, shirts (for rags) and a knife in the houses.  Found a mace in the ruins.  I left there fairly well fed with high carrying capacity.

[GaryWalnuts 1680]

Did you find wilson?  :P

 

 

 

No I have not found Wilson yet.

I'd settle for a teddy bear but I haven't seen one in stable yet  :beans:

As others have mentioned I haven't seen a dynamic one on the island, though one does spawn directly across on the mainland.

I'm slightly baffled at the update. Before .58, there was always weapon loot on the front porches of those small buildings with two rooms and a bathroom, there were infected everywhere, weapons, magazines and ammo were easily obtainable and I could find vehicles. Now I dont see any zeds AT ALL, no loot at the small building I described, I can't find an ak74 mag anywhere, I've been to every airfield and every previously known loot spot with no luck. Is it just me or is anyone else noticing this? Any good servers I can actually enjoy the game on?

Perhaps you should look in non-previously known loot spots? I have 8 ak mags, currently. The things I haven't been able to find yet are tents and glow plugs.

Selfless promotion of my server here :)

 

Try mine. Its a 50 player public server. Server is in Dallas, TX. Since .58 we have not reached more than 10 players at any given time but I have had no issues finding loot including the infamous glow plug. All be it, I had to go all the way to sinstok before I found my first one, but I now have 3 in my posession along with 4 batteries. Towns throughout the map still have good amounts of stuff, but I can't say the same for coastal cities. 

 

 

 

Just waiting for the "patch" to fix the camps b/c right now I can't use any of my trucks that are there. 

 

Oh and one other thing I noticed last night losing my patience with the camp lag/desync issue. I unloaded an entire AK101 mag into the driver's side of one of my trucks and popped all the tires. The truck was on an incline so it started sliding just like bodies do and what would you know? While the truck was moving, all of my inventory including my barrels were accessible without any lag whatsoever. As soon as the truck came to a rest due to some trees, the lag returned. Thought it was worth mentioning if you're absolutely needing access to your barrels/tents etc. I needed food so badly at that moment so I double clicked as fast as I could in my "food barrel' and got several cans of tactical bacon out while the truck was sliding. 

 

EDIT: helps if I actually give the server name. Just search for Welcome to the Jungle

I'm always on the lookout for a local server with adult admins.

I have no problem finding glow plugs and batteries, its the other stuff like guns ammo and magazinesI'm after & can't seem to find. Will try your server when I get home.

[Shooter503 1]

I FOUND A TENT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But some jackass deployed it in the middle of the street in Novaya Petrovka. Thanks for the battery that was sitting inside it though I guess.

Yeh, I think there's something seriously wrong with loot spawning (especially on private servers). After I got killed (again) tonight, I hopped onto a server and spawned in Svetlo. I searched about 85% or more of the buildings in town and only found a can of Pipsi. I'm not kidding. Moved up to Novo and found a pair of trousers and a can of food, after much searching.

 

Decided to log out and try some public servers instead. I just don't the the time to waste. I might give .58 a bill of ill health and simply wait for .59. There's no entertainment here.

 

Sorry, but that's just boring. There's no other word for it.

Perhaps you should suggest said spots, rather than just being a smartass. If you don't have any advice, carry on.

I wasn't being a smartass. I was simply saying if the loot isn't where you expected it to be from previous patches, look in other places that you didn't normally look in the past. Since it was you who said "it's not where I expected it to be"... Well, if it ain't there... 

 

Seemed a pretty straight-forward suggestion to me... Perhaps you should relax a little instead of taking every comment with its worst possible connotation?

I was able to place a Chest Holster with a Magnum inside of a Press Vest. Is this supposed to happen?

 

It's not very practical and I did it on accident, but I'm just curious if it's a bug.

[VahidkinG 192]

great news, i have finally find my very own Glow plug right now, im gonna put a video of me on youtube dancing :)  :thumbsup:  :D

So does anyone have any suggestions as to where the good stuff loot moved to?

[Super_Duty 466]

From all the Exp. testing done I'm confident that this area now has all the best loot... stay near the beach.
