Lobell 0 Posted August 3, 2012 Is it a 100% undeniable truth that Downed Helicopters only respawn upon a server restart?(as in the heli itself, loot only spawns once per heli, that has been covered time and time again)Reason for me asking is i've come across a few (no naming and shaming) servers that have no scheduled restarts, meaning a server admin has to be presentfor a restart to happen, wouldn't that give them an unfair advantage over everyone else because they know for certain noone else will have gotten to the helicopters prior to their login?

SmashT 10907 Posted August 3, 2012 Yes, they only respawn on a restart, there are still what 5 heli spawns at a possible 50 or so locations? Would still take a while to check each one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would still take a while to check each one.true point, but as a group with several vehicles, who knowsand even i it is a bit of a long shot, it still means that there is a clear cut advantage to be playing at the same time as admins then any other timekinda narrows the playtime per day really, want to play late at night? tough shit, admins have logged off, servers dont reset and pretty much every heli is looted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyz 42 Posted August 3, 2012 Scheduled restarts offer the same advantage. You know for sure when there will be a respawn. Besides can't an admin restart the server whenever he wants? So in theory there can be scheduled restarts and a manual restart when the admin comes back on if they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobell 0 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Atleast with scheduled restarts everyone knows when it restarts, at the whim of an admin it's like playing musical chairs when one of the players already knows beforehand when to sit downon second thought tho that analogy is a bit crap since everyone would know when to sit down with scheduled resets, either way, it brings the restarts to a more equal chance level, rather then having to play after someone elses habits Edited August 3, 2012 by Lobell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
