A great day in Chernarus!

[Sula 1205]

I came across a server with one player. I said "hi" to him and he left me. Sort of how my love life goes too! But it left me to play on an empty server - which was blissful! :)

So I headed for elektro, where me and my zombie crew took a jog round the city. I wanted to stop for some groceries, pick up a compass, a map, maybe a gun or two, you know how it is. But the boys just wanted to grab me. So I had to grab a few basics and keep on moving.

I must say, the lads do keep me fit. I managed to visit Stary and the NW airfield today. Got a few nice weapons and lots of clips, so it's been a great day. But why is it so darn hard to find coyote packs? Surely, Rocket could open a chain of backpack stores across Chernarus?

Mind you, I must admit, it wasn't entirely problem free. Is anyone else finding that wherever they go, they have to go to each property and leave it then wait five minutes and go back for things to spawn? Every single place I went today there was nothing but empty tins. I had to wait about five minutes for any loot - and it was the same everywhere. So if you want stuff at a heli crash you have to risk your life twice, once to activate the timer and then a second time after you've left the area to wait for the timer to spawn in loot. I know they want to deter server hopping for the sake of loot grabbing but there must be a more practicable way, surely?

But all in all a great day. It just meant I left a lot of my blood around the map. :huh:

How was your last Chernarus trip? :beans:

My last trip to Cherno was pretty cool. I was on TS with a guy I'd only just met and we realised we didn't have any meds so decided to head to the hospital. There was 40+ people on the server so it was always going to be a tad hairy. To cut a long story short we made it in and out without too much trouble. We did shoot one poor guy though. We called friendly and he just stared blankly at us, then the guy I was with just shot him. We then realised he was trying to type something in the chat bar :(.. Oh well, we tried I guess.

Sula, mybe next time you say hello to a guy, try it without pointing a gun at him, that goes for real life too. We tend to get a bit nervous.

Regarding the running into buildings and finding nothing. Have the spawn triggers been altered as i find if i crouch run in, theres always stuff there. But when i run in there is nothing. I tried experimenting with this and found out running into a place will more often than not spawn stuff. Its then i run away and back again to find decent stuff.

Frustrating as hell when you go into a barracks.

Being on a server by yourself is great, Just you and the apocalypse!

yes i find this happens very often and can be dangerous going back and hanging around for stuff to spawn in . i also think from reading new players threads that alot of people dont know this happens and they think they cant find anything or that the mod is incredibly hard when you start off as it seems impossible to find guns ect.

Can you do this with a heli crash? I didn't know that!

went on private hive. Stole a guy's helicopter and used it to find another helicopter. That was yesterday. I liked yesterday.
