Giga_Watts 0 Posted December 18, 2019 Hello survivors from the Xbox realm! I am super new to the game, I've watched a ton of videos but never got around to actually playing. I have a few questions, and I am very sorry If I'm not posting this in the proper section, i'm not too familiar with forums in general. My first question is; How does the loot respawning work? For officials for example, does it restart the server like once a day and refreshes the loot? Also, on player owned server, is it set by the admin at which rate the loot refreshes? When loot refreshes, do the doors close as if it was an unlooted building or they remain opened but just the loot refreshes? Does everybody kill you on sight? The very few encounters I've had with players since I started yesterday were everything but peaceful. I was walking a road that seemed to lead to a big city, and i'm guessing this guy was leaving it, saluted me and started popping shots. Granted he was absolute garbage i managed to juke him behind a couple trees and run away. Are there any friendly players out there? The previous question brings me to this one; do you have a recommendation for a friendly private server? I'm trying to RP as a Hero/Helper but I can't manage to gear up because every encounter I come by I try to talk with people and they end up killing me. If you are willing to help a complete noob out (and I mean like REALLY noob) feel free to add my xbox GT: uhhyann Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AwesomeZ0MBI 0 Posted December 18, 2019 My first question is; How does the loot respawning work? For officials for example, does it restart the server like once a day and refreshes the loot?: You are correct on that. Most servers restart about every 8 or 12 hours form my experience. I don't go on forums much myself though. Also, on player owned server, is it set by the admin at which rate the loot refreshes?: Yes. When loot refreshes, do the doors close as if it was an unlooted building or they remain opened but just the loot refreshes?: I think they close. Most likely. Does everybody kill you on sight?: Almost. If they laugh and you're a freshie, run. They are a cannibal and will kill you. They will always kill you if you're geared. You have a chance as a freshie. The very few encounters I've had with players since I started yesterday were everything but peaceful. I was walking a road that seemed to lead to a big city, and i'm guessing this guy was leaving it, saluted me and started popping shots. Granted he was absolute garbage i managed to juke him behind a couple trees and run away. Are there any friendly players out there?: Hardly. Expect really geared players to be hostile, but they might be neutral. If you're a freshie. Freshie V Freshie is your best chance at friendly encounters. Chance. The previous question brings me to this one; do you have a recommendation for a friendly private server?: Sorry, I don't. I'm trying to RP as a Hero/Helper but I can't manage to gear up because every encounter I come by I try to talk with people and they end up killing me.

Robzom11 109 Posted December 18, 2019 Loot respawns depending on if any players are nearby, and every item has a different spawn timer and max amount. Resets close the doors ( some doors stay open) I don't think resets affect loot anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are willing to help a complete noob out (and I mean like REALLY noob) feel free to add my xbox GT: uhhyann Thanks! Dude, awesomezombi gave you straight up false info... 1. Loot refreshes based on if there is A) an item in the loot spawn and B) proximity of player(s) to that loot spawn. Each item has a timer on it as well as to how long it will be there before it despawned, different types of items gave different values ranging from 15 minutes to several hours. Server resets in no way "refresh" loot. 2. Admins have no control over loot spawns on console. 3. Doors will generally be closed upon a reset, but in my experience it is largely randomized. 10% or so of doors can still be open, I've seen it happen on freshly wiped servers. 4. In my experience you have a 90%+ chance of being killed on sight in public servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
