15 minutes before restart

Post by TheScholar »

.....wondering if spawning of loot can continue right unto the server resets rather than ending at the 15 minute server reset warning....when looting I just log off and wait till restart but it kills the games momentum a bit...

yeah we recognized this too. But it isn't happening every time. Some times loot spawns until the restart itself.. but 80-90% loot spawning stops. (in general, not just INT005 specific)

Yea this is a big problem i think, sometimes it can be about 20 minutes before restart it seems (when the sunlight comes). There's nothing that kills a server population more than this i believe, figure the loot stops spawning 5 minutes before the hour and restart is 15 minutes after the hour... then at least 4-5 minutes after server restart until you are back in the game. That could be about 20-30 minutes that you can't get loot. For us who play the game all the time no big deal we don't need the loot and gear, but for new players or players who don't feel like waiting that long to continue playing/looting that could be a huge turn off. So many times people i play with leave for the night or go to play another game once the loot stops spawning in. I mean you can't find a can of food or a soda to keep yourself alive. I think it would be worth having the server performance drop a bit to allow loot to spawn until the server restarts. Maybe 5 minutes before restart, but the setting now isn't doing the game any good in my opinion. I don't think it's a huge problem where we play considering INT005 has a huge server pop, but just would be helpful in general to keep other servers populated and help the mod continue to grow.

I couldn't agree more with Chick Parm ^

If there is a way to fix this, I would strongly encourage implementing it.

Absolutely, we had it happen at 7:56 AM (nearly 20 minutes before restart). I was in Mitro with a Mak and nothing to do but run away from zombies until restart. :?
