Apparently so, I've logged a good few hours on .58 now and not heard one.

Well, thank god. I've heard there are a lack of zombies, can you confirm? I'm tempted to play if it's the case, hehe

I played just the other day, and I only ran into 2 zombies in a time span of two-three hours. I think it's pretty safe.

The loot system is actually really cool now, here's how it works as far as my limited research suggests:

The server does a check every 5 seconds to see how much of any given item is on the map, say there can be 12 Blaze rifles spawned but it only finds 9 it can then spawn up to 3 more on the map, it then does a check for players near by and will drop loot in an area that is unpopulated. It has upper and lower limits for every item and distributes them according to their value and where they can spawn, so if there is only 1 M4 on the map it won't spawn on the coast or anything silly like that. So the best way to find loot now (apart from the cheaty way) is to search a few house in the town, if there isn't much in the way of food and other normal items chances are there will be in the next town. You may miss out on some of the rare items like suppressors and scopes if you search like this but you are most likely just trying to find supplies to survive at that point.

 

That said it isn't as easy as pick up a tin of beans and 5 seconds later another one will spawn somewhere, all loot spawn areas have a delay so if you pick up an AK in a barracks there will be a delay of a few hours befor a new one can spawn there. higher level loot has longer spawn delay. This new dynamic way of spawning also works on crashed choppers so every few hours, regardless of server resets the crash sites can change making them a really great place to get gear.

 

Now, the cheaty way I mentioned... it is kind of server dependent and possibly hive too (I'm noticing much more loot here on private hive and on 50pop servers) but here is a cool place you really should check if you are in the area:

Spoiler

The only other thing I've really noticed is that the hide towers ((probably not their official name)) seem to be spawning good loot now and are worth a check

ranger towers I think their called, usually used for hunting in RL, but yeah they always had something nice in them in every version thus far, so far today I spawned in, got a box of cerial only and was murdered while eating, but I didn't care, guy who killed me literally gained nothing from it

Last night played a bit and one of my friends ran to Cherno from Electro as a fresh spawn and fell unconscious. Normally I either die in a very one sided gun fight or get my characters reset so don't have much experience but he was unconscious the whole time I ran from Pavlovo to him, gave him 2 tins of food and a canteen of water... left to get an epie pen and finally got back up after I went off again and came back with a saline for him... have they changed something or is that normal?

Depends upon the reason:

 

If you are unconscious due to starvation, the solution is to get someone to force-feed you until you are above the level of passing out.

 

If you are unconscious die to blood loss, chances are your blood level passed below 500. This is the longest lasting state of unconsciousness, the fastest way to recover is with a saline bag.

 

Being knocked out due to shock is resolvable with an epipen or a defib.

There was a camp near the Myshkino tents Sunday that was just full of every kind of ammo and weapon imaginable, I'm sure it was all duped so I cleared it out. Today the camp was gone but I found the same exact setup a few hundred meters away so I cleared it out again. There isn't a lot I can do, the devs won't even let me reset persistence any more, just gonna keep an eye on the area. Been looking through the server logs today and this name Bearknucklnockl pops up most days and every few I see a very suspicious pattern to his activity. I have no way to check who drops items or where or when, only log in times and his were very interesting. If you do notice anything suspicious please let me know what day and who and I can go through the logs to see if there is an issues. Could be completely innocent but if you do stumble across a camp that looks like it's full of duped gear my policy is, carry it off and dump it far away (seriously I spent over and hour the first time running guns 1 at a time 1k away and dumping them, I got a lot more efficient this time). If you want to raid these camps for the loot that's fine too.

I might do that but it will have to be at the weekend now, I did take an M4 so I can kill him if he logs in as I'm clearing it. I'm thinking about going to private shard so I have more options but I don't want to password the server or I'd never have any interactions. I don't know how the admins manage on the popular servers, must be hell to go through the logs on a 50 pop server.

Yeah problem was what he was playing wasn't Exile. It was heavily modded Exile with like 5 people on the server, either that or a beta test. Currently, exile has no zombies.

I can play DayZ tonight! Since I am actually able to play it with a good framerate (mainly due to the fact that I have stole half of the brother's PC, and now it's in my one).

 

Feel free to swing by on the TS for those who want to join me.

(Give me a poke when if you wanna play)

Yeah I know, well actually it was on a ccg server with the mods for that, which is mostly graphical mods and whatnot.

hopefully they will try a different server and not use this one as a weapon dump like the old server. If it gets bad again I'll move us to private hive but I'll have to use a different hosing company for that and I run other servers with this one so it's easier for me to just close the old one and open a new one.
