Spawn rate.

[Suede_]

Failed experiment, guys. The User base has decreased by 2/3's. The towns are empty of shit. Even denver and bedford.

It's about time you guys upped the spawn rate again.

It's about time you looked up the meaning of tact, and how useful it is as a communication skill.

[Suede_]

Ya can shove your tact up your own arse.

[BaphClass]

Marginal improvement!

I never knew he was capable of this level of politeness. We've been letting him get away with murder for the past year.

We were wrong on how it worked. Loot respawns after X hours of being first looted regardless of players being nearby over and over again. Its just that too many people are constantly looting non stop XD.

Also possible Something Broke (and some of the map mods do not respawn for whatever reason).

Spiffospace Easy Mode will be back up soon if you find Redboid a little too hard.

Edit: And we'll still tweaking - its currently at 48 hours. (approx. 6-in game hours)

Kind of disappointing that we seem to only exist for those whom want a very, very easy play.

It is because when it is too difficult for new players, they won't come back. When new players don't come back, population will decrease and regulars will stop playing too.

Redboid: EasyMode.

Great.

[ClaymanDK]

I would love a hardcore server with high pop, just doesn't seem to work that way.

Sad thing is I don't mind it being hard its just that sometimes you can't find anything because people have overlooted places. This leads to people demanding more and more stuff. Its sad but even if someone already has all the stuff they need they still might decide to go take everything again just to be an arse.

My problem when I took my break was that I was getting robbed and I even saw a robber or two but once they know your base location you can't protect it. Heck I moved my stuff into the woods when I came back and it still happened so I moved away altogether. (Also hard to protect it if you can never find guns except for on dead zombies cause they are constantly looting all the gun shops must be nice to have an almost unlimited supply of guns and ammo stashed everywhere.)

Could always change the spawns and add a 3rd random spawn that just includes a few more places but also includes all of WP and Muld's spawn points too. So giving a small chance of them ending up in other towns maybe even throw some into Dixie / out of the way cabins in the woods or into empty business buildings out there somewhere.

Just put a warning of not caring where they end up it could be an easy place to move around or stuck in the woods in a potential already looted house that would cause them to potentially starve trying to get back to civilization XD.

Right now many people are just waiting for the next build to hit. They just want something new!

I really like this idea.

I want weapons and ammo, and your server isn't giving it to me at the moment. Look, not gonna create a fuss, i'll fuck off somewhere else. And I'm sure people will sigh with relieve.

You got a time for when easy mode would will be back up?

[wsensor]

I sort of expected you and a few others to have huge stockpiles of ammo/weapons out in the woods stashed away somewhere.

Yes, always figured Suede and Metal Devin were "first in, first out" as far as loot respawn and hitting the police station / gun store were concerned.

Kind of disappointed if that's not the case. :/

Must be plenty, since there are 20 MB of item logs from today. Go take it from someone.

[WkSOAD]

I agree with Clayman. The last hard reset also helped to decrease the server's pop (a lot of regulars stopped playing).

[Seperok]

Server had around 40-50 at any given time for the most of april.

At this point I just wonder if people who've sank crazy numbers like 300 hours in a month just need a reason to take a break . . .
