Loot re-spawn timer poll.

Just an extensive of the thread Spider made, to see what
everyone, overall, feels is appropriate for loot re-spawn.

Other-
Loot degradation. 3 days for a week. 7 days for a week. 15 days
for 2 weeks 21 days for a week then drop it to 30. or
something....
it gives those that don't play as often as those that do a
chance. Nothing sucks more then logging on and finding nothing
within miles.
Of course you always have the option of looting something and
then not looting it again if you so desire. No one is forcing
you to loot the same container over and over. So all you need is
a little self control and you can make the game harder without
bothering people that may like the 7 day loot respawn.
Regardless the game is infinite so you will get 'bored'
regardless of the path you take.

Now that we have had some experience with random gen I agree
with the starting area being pvp. I really like the idea someone
said about people that want pvp can set up a little bunker in
the central city hub and pvp there, sounds cool to me. Also
after seeing how huge the cities are, they easily have 10x the
loot the whole Navezgane map had and way way more safes and ammo
crates. The other biomes have tons of lootable items everywhere;
book bags give the best survival loot and are in doubles all
over the place. With the amount of active players we have on
this server it would take us a week just to loot the main city
hub. My team has been posted up to a medium size city for a week
and haven’t even needed to open a quarter of the buildings
because we just reloot the ones we already opened. Right now
zombies are no threat(until they fix them) and with the loot
respawning the game is pretty much pointless you can be
self-sufficient by just living on top a apartment building and
looting it every day. And Aknot telling me to remember the
hundreds of things I have looted and walk past them next time
while everyone else loots the same radius from there base every
day is completely unreasonable and illogical. This is a PVP
server we are in an arms race with each other to build a strong
base and acquire sufficient weapons to search out and raid
others bases, So to tell me to restrict my game play while
others loot rooms full of self-built gun safes daily is
unacceptable.
And for the argument about people that play a lot I don’t see it
as a problem. They will still have the same size back pack and
can only carry so much and if you play constantly then you will
have to travel more witch makes since doesn’t it . I mean if you
think someone that plays 5 hours a week should have the same
strength base set up and supplies as someone that plays 3 hours
a day then I don’t know what to say to you we are just on
completely different sides of the way people think about pvp.
This is not LOL (League of Legends) where everyone starts off
each match equal. This game benefits those that work harder at
it and shouldn’t it? It is a survival game right, not the
government subsidy line. Though right now it feels more like I’m
a construction worker that shops at the local abandoned
building.
As for new people not finding anything I just can’t see that
happening, there’s just not enough players on this server for
that to happen and there is just way to many places to loot. Yes
the first person through an erea might loot all the cabinets but
did they take the curtains did they bust up the toilet did they
leave stuff they couldn’t carry? There are simply too many
lootable containers and other ways to destroy things to loot
them for even a totally looted house to be truly worthless for a
new player. Windows can be broken, walls and floors tore up,
doors destroyed. Just too many things that the first and second
looters will leave behind to worry about someone not being able
to find loot. Also when people start to need things is when a
game community starts to take shape. No one has a need for
another player when they are safe fat and happy in their home.

O.. and for everyone that is voting remember these are game
day’s not real life days. Right now it is set to 45min days. So
3 day respawn would be every looted container respawning loot
every 2 hours and 15min real life time. That would be new loot
spawning almost 12 times a real life day.

I went a head and edited the poll to reflect 'game' days.

This poll is cracking me up because there is pretty much a vote
in every category - tied.
That just shows you how diverse our group is LOL. ::)

It's simple...the reason for spawning, mining, farming etc is
the idea of struggling to survive. It encourages trading,
competition, and collaboration, and work for the game.
Challenge is needed! If it's not there the entire idea for the
game is defeated!
Let's get off easy mode! :)

Other - until we have faster means of transportation I think the
game needs loot re-spawn; the world is too big atm otherwise.
And seeing how the map is still finite, what happens when every
munitions box is looted and no one has a sniper rifle?
I know, I know... raid the guys who have different parts. That
dullard response has flaws as well.

The map is not finite it is infinite, never ending, always more
to loot, you can walk FOREVER east and never stop finding POIs.
You do understand the meaning of INFINITE don't you? Not having
an end. Stop spreading false facts and admit you want respawn so
you can be lazy and container farm to gather more loot faster
than all the other players that do it the legit way. You want us
to conform to your way of playing so you can game the system and
have an edge over the rest of us.
