Anyone ever noticed this...?

Just something I picked up on. But say, whenever I spawn inside the fire station at Elektro, in a server with only 4 or 5 people in it. I find that there's absolutely no loot to be had. I don't mind it, but sometimes you can't find a single can or anything for a good while. Is it the game trying to load in the items? Because, I've found running back after...say...3 or 4 minutes, the game puts items there. Is this to prevent server hopping? Or...something else?

must be to prevent server hoppers i would say, but could also be a bug, you never know with dayz :D

Spawn inside a building and the loot should despawn.

As far as I know, loot doesn't spawn in a certain area around ones spawn location.

Yes, when you spawn in you despawn zombies in a 30m circle and im pretty sure it is a 100m circle for loot.

Was kind of thinking that myself. Kind of a proximity thing going on. But I guess that's negated if someone's already inspected the place, and still somewhat nearby. Found myself not playing for about a month, and coming back on the roof of the Fire Station in a server with around 8 people, to find plenty of loot sitting around. Completely untouched. But, that's why I was asking. Sometimes it does it, and sometimes it doesn't :huh:
