DayZ
Start spawning loot in the apartments!!!!!!
Its so silly that we have huge buildings which are actually quite cool and have the potential to create cool moments of game play, but they are just left empty. No one goes to them as they spawn literally nothing.

12 floors, 4 living areas a floor. Thats aleast 48 people living in each building and you find nothing there at all.

I find stuff in apartments. Not a bunch of stuff, but random items. Also, you can find peoples bases in them sometimes and steal their stuff.

There are mods on community servers that make stuff spawn but on vanilla they literally have no spawns for loot.

This is not true. There is loot. Just not good loot or plentiful.

the apartment buildings spawn no loot on chernarus by default. the few ones on livonia do.
for community servers its easy to enable the lootspawns with the missionfiles, no need for mods.

No. They do not spawn loot on official. Buy a server, download admin tools then fly around and look at the loot with the ESP nothing will be in them. Its why there is a mod for it.

SOME of the apartment blocks DO spawn minimal loot. SOME of the apartment blocks do not spawn any loot .. It depends on which town you are in. This is absolutely how it should be. In a mas emergency situation, such as DayZ is set in, high population centers will be the most "stripped clean" of anything of value, as people gather their stuff, and head for the hills, so to speak. "Preppers" don't live in high-rise apartments.

Also, you don't need to "buy a server", you can set up your own LAN server right from the Steam Library.

This is not how it should be, if this was the case all major towns should be empty.

IN YOUR OPINION. :steamsalty:

You seem to be ignoring the entire Eastern European theme here, that those large tenement buildings are the low income, "poors" of society, that never had much to begin with .. contrasted with the down-town areas, with their more ornate, and expensive single family row-homes, where residents had more to begin with.

Its not an opinion. You stated "This is absolutely how it should be. In a mas emergency situation, such as DayZ is set in, high population centers will be the most "stripped clean" of anything of value, as people gather their stuff, and head for the hills, so to speak."

If thats the case, Cherno, Novo, Electro, Berezino, Novaya, Severograd and Zelenogorsk should all be empty. I am just saying for your opinion to be self consistent all of these major towns with large populations should be devoid of any loot just like the apartments in Cherno.

I am saying this is not how it should because why waste a good area of the map? There are many food items in game that in reality would be long rotten by now as they arent being produced. Why are their fresh Zucchini's in random places that no one lives anymore?

There are even medical items that dont keep for as long as this is after the apocalypse, they arent being made anymore, they certainly arent being shipped to Chernarus and then taken to hospitals.

In this case the Cherno apartments spawn literally nothing, they arent low spawn rate, they are literally not spawning a thing.

1. Yes, I said "most stripped clean of anything of value", and I stand by that .. perhaps take a second to read those words carefully.

2. Relatively speaking, those areas ARE empty of anything of value. There is no high tier clothing, or weapons, and very little ammo (small stacks of a few bullets or shells, no full boxes) .. This follows exactly as I said in #1.

3. Again, this is YOUR OPINION of how the developers designed the game tiers, and decided to disperse the Loot .. Feel free to design and code your own game.

4. This goes to you not understanding the lore and time-frame of the game .. The game is not set MANY YEARS later, the entire Infection Outbreak has happened in recent history, in the game universe... and it IS a game after-all .. The devs have to balance things out for the best experience of the most amount of players. They can not be bothered to cater to your specific wants.

Yes, your exaggerations are very silly. The tallest buildings, are maybe 6 floors, with 1 or 2 accessible apartments on each floor .. All the other apartments, have their doors barred shut.

So why would only the appartments in cherno be stripped of value? Also not the houses next to them or the garages that the people who lived there used, just the apartments. The mental gymnastics is insane. You literally say "most stripped clean". In this case its only the apartments.

But some loot is infinitely more than none. It doesnt have to be years. It can be months or weeks and what I have said would still hold true. Days even in some cases.

"Preppers" live everywhere, it is just silly to say they don't live in apartments.
They may not stash all of their :shit: there but i am 100% sure some do.
I have also found loot, on occasion in apartments.

And as I told you, SOME of the tenements DO have loot, while some do not.

The bigger question I have for you, is Why are you spending so much time hiding in a 6 story apartment, instead of traveling north and getting the better loot, and getting some interactions? Maybe DayZ isn't the game for you.
