Start spawning loot in the apartments!!!!!!

[GetInTheHangar]

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.

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.

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.

I'm not. But the fact still remains there is no logically consistent reason for them to be empty.

Your "they have been stripped clean" nonsense doenst hold up. Why arent the houses next to them empty? Why arent the garages that those people used empty? For your idea to hold any water, for some reason the people who lived in those apartments have to be the only people that for some reason picked their environment clean, yet no one else did.

There is no good reason why they dont spawn loot. There is also no good in lore reason why they dont have loot. And any they picked clean nonsense can just be applied to any other area with a high population. Your hypothesis holds no merit.

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.

No. The tallest apartments are 12 floors. Go and count them, each floor has 4 seperate apartments. You may not be able to access them now, but in the past they would have been and the only reason you cant is because the devs cant be assed to model them.

"Preppers" live everywhere, it is just silly to say they don't live in apartments.
They may not stash all of their :♥♥♥♥: there but i am 100% sure some do.

If you don't have your stash, you are not prepped very well, now are you? (In the game, or IRL) .. But I WAS talking about the GAME in this case.
- Emergency strikes, but I have to get across town to my storage unit to get my gear, Yes, I am very prepared. (Looking at the actual game here, where the storage garages are across the other side of the Apartment blocks).

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.

Because it's a GAME, and the Developers made a choice of how and where to distribute Loot. Your tantrum in this PLAYER discussion forum, will not change that.

So now you have realised that your explanation doesnt make sense you have totally changed your point of view XD. Before it was because they were picked clean in lore now its because its a game XD.

Either way its either a trash explanation in lore or the devs being stupid.

Nothing about my comments have changed, and your lack of ability to understand, is not my, or the game devs problem. The tenements are where the poorest people would have lived. The poorest people have the least amount of stuff .. after using what they can, and the rest being looted by others, there would be little to nothing left in the Tenements .. The Downtown areas, with their Row homes, where people with more money, and more things, lived, those people would have left more things behind, because they had more to start with .. If you're half-way honest, it all makes perfect sense. Instead you prefer to have a meltdown, and complain to other players.

If you feel so strongly, go to the Bohemia forums, and make a suggestion directly to the developers .. or stop being scared to actually play the game, and get out of hiding in the apartments.

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

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.

I have owned a server for quite awhile and also have a LAN server for years. I have had a big base in Nadbor Livonia next to two big apartment buildings. They spawn loot. YMMV

I can admit when I am wrong. The broken stairs apartments are 12 floors, but you are wrong about them not being modeled, "because the devs are lazy" .. every room, on all 12 floors, is fully modeled .. You just can't open the doors .. If you don't have a server, or admin tools to free cam, then get a set of binoculars and look in the windows from another building.

Seems like BI said last year they were going to add loot to these buildings, but they never did it.

The crap hole in the middle of the woods in the middle of nowhere has better loot than entire rows of apartment buildings

I guess all these people had was a table, a chair, and a sofa then?

C'mon, we ALL know us rich people don't live in ghettos like those,
we live in the country so we have a "buffer" zone between us and
"the great unwashed"..

Perhaps it has already been mentioned, but here is what the default mapGroupProto contains regarding the tenement buildings in Chernarus. It seems to me that they do not spawn any loot ..I might be wrong, of course, but I have never found any loot in the tenements in Chernarus....

Don't worry, someone will end up coming around saying they found loot in an apartment building that ended up being someone dropping some stuff or loose loot from a dead body that was no longer there

And if in a past version, as recent as 2 weeks ago, those "lootmax" numbers were not Zero, guess what would spawn in those apartments, that do in fact, have loot tables and spawn points attached ...
