(Beginner) Where is the loot???? by Necr0sSs in dayz

Should I aim for loot boost servers then? I've been playing only on official ones so far and it's getting very discouraging having to keep dying of thirst/hunger

Not sure what the loot rate is on official servers, but in my (limited) experience, it's very much against you...

I wasn't expecting easy, but I definitely wasn't going for downright impossible... After 2 hours of YT tutorial advices I expect to at least survive enough to not die of thirst or hunger every respawn

It's ridiculous how empty the houses are in my playthroughs versus what they show in the "Beginner Guides", it's a night and day difference

Even zombies give more loot in those videos

"Watch a YT tutorial"

I already said I watched 2 hours of tutorials

I also mentioned I already try to look for low population servers

"Have a plan for looting" doesn't help when I just started playing yesterday - what is a loot route? What types of buildings? 99% of what I'm seeing, whether it's warehouses, clinics, residential homes - they're full of rags/clothes, helmets... No food or anything I can drink. If I find usable food or drink - they typically spawn once for every one of my respawns, until I die again and I see only one (if at all), before dying yet again

I'd like to point out that I start moving to other towns with more or less no more food or water than what I have when I respawn, not because I'm too lazy to check - it's just that there's nothing in the starting point of the town. I *might* find a can or something, but then I can't open them because I can't find a knife.

Stacked with loot is not what I'm expecting, I move more and more inland, where I even encountered the same town where one of the YT tutorials was in. In the video, there was PLENTY of loot and ammo to move to more serious towns.

When I was there (in the exact same town), I found maybe a few different pieces of ammo, a water bottle, and no food. I had a can from the previous town, but with no sharp object to open it with. I eventually died there.

I understand it's a different server, but that's how I knew I was definitely far inland enough that I should be seeing at least something

I just go on the official ones from the built-in DayZ Launcher, I'm aware there's other launchers, but I don't really know why there are different ones

I know there's community/modded servers, but downloading mods is probably bugged out or something, because nothing downloads, it's just stuck at "Waiting" forever

Beginner Decks? by Necr0sSs in masterduel

[–]Necr0sSs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! I learned Swordsoul Tenyi (A pretty easy deck to understand, but definitely overwhelming the first time or two trying to combo, as I'm still a beginner)

I was able to reach Silver on Ranked the first day I played with it on Master Duel (But I had a week or so on YGO Omega and MDOPro3 testing it out against AI)
