I Walked for 2 Hours Down a Road, To Die.

[sublimitation 11]

Lets put this straight.

I walked from Chernogorsk to Berezino.

This took me 2 Hours, i spent the time talking to a friend on skype.

Along the way i collected alot of meat and set up a small campfire to cook all of it.

I continued onward and as a usual morning comes, all my friends start pestering me on Steam.

Here i am outside Berezino, creeping on a Deer Stand. I climb to the Deer Stand and curse my bloody luck because there was nothing inside it. Here i am, lying prone for a few minute talking to a friend when suddenly a Army Zombie comes gallivanting behind me, attempting to take a grip at my ass. I get up, suddenly im fucking ganked by 5 other zombies and im trying to run away. I pause for a second, double check the area, start healing and the same fucking zombie rapes me. Ive never been so fucking frustrated in my life, especially since admins find it funny to purposely block every building in the area.

Im not kidding, along my journey and mind you this was a pretty unpopulated server, like 5 players. I didn't get a general drop for miles. Cherno and Elektro's fire stations were barred off including ALOT of buildings, im talking about even general buildings like homes, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Im pretty sure its admins, otherwise it wouldn't be as wide-spread along the coast however im not sure myself and this just springs to mind. I was heading the NW to see what i could find and it wasn't good foresight that i haven't found shit in the last deer stand. As for vehicle drops, i fucking searched both cities and i didn't find a single drop.

Curses.

I wasted 2 Hours walking up north for this bullshit.

Next time im going to walk in a group, so at least then i won't be so fucking bored the next time i go on a shitty server.

We have all been there. Probably more than once. :lol:

Change server. It wasn't the admins fault, technically the server probably just had a spawning glitch as it hadn't been restarted in a long time.

Also go into the woods no zombies spawn there that's always a good spot for bandaging up.

Shit happens. Its after all DayZ.

[Drblodski 53]

yeah blame the admins. It's all their fault. Don't agg zed. Don't blame others. Learn how to lose zed. Get a map - its 45 mins max from cherno to berezino. Go find a industrial loot spawn and find a toolbox - then you can remove the barbed wire from buildings yourself. Or hop to another server. Every minute in DayZ is 'wasted' just enjoy it.

[sonicrainbrony 136]

It takes like 15 minutes to walk from Cherno to Berez?

Did you take the "scenic" route?

especially since admins find it funny to purposely block every building in the area

As a server admin, reading that phrase angers me. I HATE that people use tank traps, wire fences, and sandbags to block off buildings. I've never placed one down myself because I see no purpose (they don't block zombies, only players... who have guns anyway to shoot you with). The only way I've seen them used is to grief buildings. Yet, as a server admin, there's NOTHING I can do about it. Don't blame server admins.

I don't even understand your logic there about "it MUST be an admin!". We have no "magical powers" that let us do something better than a player on our own server. What advantage would we have that permits us to grief our own server with fencing more efficiently? Why would we do it and make our server more frustrating to play on?

I've even tried to de-grief buildings myself, because I can only assume it frustrates players on my server just as much as it frustrates me. But, its' all for naught. All that stuff comes back instantly on server reset regardless if you take them down with the appropriate entrenching tool/toolkit. Once griefed, those buildings are permanently ruined unless someone removes all that crap every server restart. It's really frustrating.

Stop blaming admins for that crap. I'd remove tank traps/wire fencing/sandbags from my server's loot table if it were possible and within the rules simply because I've never seen them used outside of griefing buildings to prevent players from getting loot. No one, that I've seen, uses it to establish a base/etc.

If your having issues with loot not spawning, change servers. Ive had this problem before too. Not sure why but it just plays up on servers, I presume its from servers not performing well/ not getting regular resets or something along these lines.

From my experience, its usually Clan servers that do this. I don't think its from the Admins though, just the clans in general who setup blockages. Doesn't matter to me though, more humanity for me for removing them.

Learn to stay away from zombie spawns, as they usually spawn in groups around loot spots.

Also, if there's shitty loot in the deerstands, barracks, fire stations etc., just pick up all the crap loot, and drop it outside.

In a few minutes there will spawn new loot, and you're free to go.

Rince and repeat if you have the patience for it. It may pay off, and it's 100% legit farming.

Mate, that's why you find a toolbox. The ultimate anti-fagg0t weapon! ;)
