New 0.55 update introduced Forced Persistence and Central Loot Economy. It's still quite bugged but basically now it means that if you don't find gear, it's been picked clean and you need to scavenge elsewhere. Move more inland as loot might be more plentiful as others may not have looted them.

So what happens then. Does it ever reappear. Went onto a fresh server restart there and still nothing. Doors all closed, even in one of the Police stations.

Yeah, you have to leave the coast and move inland which is where the real game is.

It should in theory but probably bugged at the moment. I may be interpreting the dev updates incorrectly but on any given server there should be a set amount of items spawning in the world. As an example, a cans of beans may only spawn 150 times per month per server. If all 150 cans of beans are currently taken you won't ever find one on that server until at a certain point the server will respawn them in.

Thats just an example and not saying that there'll only ever be 150 cans of beans but I just explaining how I think the loot economy will work. Certain items will have a lower amount of spawning such as the SVD which may only be 3 spawns per server per month.

Do you play public hive or private? For me, on .55, places like stary sobor should have plenty of loot. Check back later, maybe a squad just picked it clean before you got there. I was on 3 different private hives last night in Severgrad and I found (and killed some ) groups of geared people each time.

Wouldn't get too attached to all the military loot explosions in random places. It will most likely get fixed and we'll see more dwindling loot over time.

See a tonne of those yesterday and was very confused

The Domonator

Played with Cursai last night. We looted the N.W. Airfiled, Vybor Military Base (found a heli crash site there), Zelenogorsk and then the Pavlovo Military Base and found virtually no loot whatsoever. The patch has fooked up the game, it feels unplayable now. Anyone else having trouble finding loot? Game is no fun when you starve to death because the loot system's messed up.

Cravez

it is bugged alright, then again it is the first iteration of the system and hotfixes and the next major patches (0.56 & 0.57) will hopefully fix it entirely.

When I spawned the other day, I found a **** ton of loot in Kamyshovo but may have been one of the first people to raid it.

Were you on a private or public server?

We were playing on The Fortunate Ones server which is a public server. All of the military bases we looted hadn't been touched by other players before we got there and we still found nothing. The heli crash site wasn't looted either (we scored an AUG). I'm going to hop onto a private server now and see if it's better on that. If it's not then I'll quit the game until Bohemia fix it.

Tony EH

Hopped on today. KoS by some shitbag. :rolleyes:

Restarted in the middle of nowhere on the crap part of the map, the East. Ran around, found a tattered raincoat and died of starvation because there wasn't a single ounce of food to be had any where.

.55 is terrible.

The devs need to get a better balance, because if this is what the game is to become, it's dead.

At least start new spawns with a full stomach. There is no entertainment running around waiting to die of starvation/thirst in the first 20 minutes.

If it persists like this, I'm gone until .56.

Tony EH

Um, so tried again.

Was down to serious Hunger/Thirst levels and found a fountain. Filled up with water. Then found some rice and devoured that and became thirsty again. Luckily found a couple of cans of cola and threw them in.

The zombies are pointless now, you can just dodge them all day. But, if you DO attract their attention, they are even more glitched now than they were before.

However, in order to get their attention you'd really have to pretty much run up to them really close, so there'll be no surprise zombie attacks in .55 making humans the only thing that's a real threat now.

There have been no weapons found in the last couple of hours play. Nothing, not even a hatchet. The normal weapon house are empty. Heading up to the NWAF or prison island to get a gun, because DayZ is pointless without one, as long as people are just KoS.

All in all, so far .55 is shaping up pretty badly.

I was just wondering are there any good Irish SA Servers out there? I'm looking for a decent server to constantly play on, It's a bit of a pain in the hole constantly swapping to different ones, losing loot etc.

Also if anyone's looking for someone to team up with - steamcommunity /id/boober

john the one

The loot system sure is fecked at present.

Died of hunger 3 or 4 times in the last few days. If I had a shovel, I would retreat into the woods and take up farming!

Actually, I did find a shovel at one point but no seeds so dug up a load of worms and ate them. Died a few minutes after.

Riamfada

So there is a town just across from Novo with a firestation in it. Some of us have taken up residence and looking for people to play with. We only play on private server Chicken With Guns 1 or 2 .

BoobeR

john the one - That's fixed as of yesterday they've reverted back to the old loot system for now.

vlad2009

But will revert back to the new system probably by next week.

Mr Blobby

Anyone know any decent persistent servers?

I'm sick of putting down gear and it disappearing a few hours later.

Cravez

Just so you know, they reverted back to the legacy loot system until the 0.56 patch. So Persistence is behaving the way it was prior to 0.55. So servers that tag as persistence=ON are the only persistent servers at the moment and tents get wiped weekly.

Until the CLE and forced persistence is pushed back into stable for 0.56 I probably wouldn't bother with storing gear. Too much risk of it getting deleted or wiped at the moment.

Lost a Mili tent full of top gear

This is somewhat true. They did revert to the legacy loot system, but persistence is enabled on all servers and does not get wiped weekly. Server owners no longer have an option to disable it. On private servers the owners have the option to wipe persistence if they so choose.

Squaredude

Tents are returning to Stary

The Domonator

Had a go at the game earlier, starved to death again. Guess I'll come back when they release the next patch.

Squaredude

Played the new experimental build last night, there's a lot more zombies!
