Food with the lorewipe.

[boring]

Hello fellow roleplayer's, so as we know the lovely staff team has decided that its time for a much anticipated lore wipe within the coming 3 weeks. From my understanding it will wipe the slate clean and start from day 0 or like the first few months or so after patient zero, Does this mean the food spawns will go up as it makes more sense to have more food at the start of the apocalypse rather than having it at the same value as it is right now (4 years or so into the apocalypse), I'm sure many of us have struggled with food recently too on both servers (Mainly chernarus thanks to S-GRU reviving it) and it would make sense for there to be a lot more.. however im not sure how much more, still have it at a low but have it spawn at a much higher rate in houses and infected as it currently is.. maybe even up the spawns of farm animals as they must've just recently escaped from the farms they've been at preoutbreak.

please leave your thoughts and whatever.. idk how to make a poll so just a yes and an elaboration as to why you agree and same goes with no will do!

[TarynBR]

I don't think the time frame has been officially announced and if that's the case, they will adjust the loot table accordingly. I don't think this poll was really necessary at the moment.

How about you guys wait until you see what we have in store for you in terms of changes, tweaks and content this time. Trust me. It's worth the wait and we have covered so much ground already

Basically what i said. No sense in making a poll for it without the details of the wipe announced imho

[TheMcgregor]

I voted no. I am baffled as to how people can say there isn't enough food on the server. I literally set up a shed next to redwood radio and filled every single slot (500) with food within an hour. IMO there is food everywhere and three years after the initial infection I think its ridiculous how much food is still around.

 

However once the new lore happens and its the initial outbreak it would make sense why there is so much food and the balance would be right. I think I must be playing a different game to others because food and water is not an issue but then again I'm an experienced player who's preferred play style is a hunter so I know how to survive with minimal equipment.

 

If people are struggling finding food I will happily make a tutorial how to help with that.

PA beginning aside,

I struggle to find food sometimes. Sometimes shit just doesn't exist from town to town, and as a fresh spawn it's not like you have the luxury of a knife straight away, nor a gun to blast load of zombies. It's all RNG so "baffled" that you can't understand some people's experiences might be different to yours.

You're going to make a tutorial to show people how to find some items that don't have an 100% spawn chance and are completely randomised?

[Panda]

No, go hunt, plenty of animals.

I guess peoples experiences do differ from mine clearly but when I have to throw away food because I have too much I cant fully understand it.

I would do a tutorial on how to stay alive which is the most important thing in dayZ.

Did the dev team by any chance sit down for a week and take a look at the loot-tables? They need a serious revamp.

Why?

1. Incorrect spawning... For example: Finding IV Start Kits on rowboats, and storage containers. These should only be spawning in the Medical loot-table.
2. Inconsistent spawning... I am aware Roland changed this, but I hate that I come across so many empty buildings, no items spawning at all.
3. Imbalanced spawning... I'll find 40 car doors before I can find a radiator. The spawn chance (%) and RNG needs to be adjusted.
4. Too much junk... Items such as Lit Candle, Glowsticks, etc... make up most of the common item spawns.
5. Too much variety... Why do I have to find 10 different color jackets, before I find the one I am looking for? We need to reduce the amount of custom items spawning, either implement a crafting workbench, or stick to them only being spawned via Itemshop.

I honestly been irritated with the loot-tables on this server ever since the major update from 0.62 to 0.63 (1.00+ release) happend. On 0.62 I knew that if I went to certain buildings or areas, I was guarantee to find what I needed after searching for a while.

If I went into a Garage, I would find car parts. If I went into Tool Sheds, etc, I would find tools or working gloves, not just random loot. If I went to a Evac zone (civillian cars), I would find a variety of civillian supplies, such as sewing kits, cooking pots, clothes, hats, glasses, low-caliber ammo, etc...

It's just not like that anymore... I know it's a lot of work, but it's something I have brought up numerous times, especially when I was staff for my brief time.

---

In response to the suggestion thread... I voted no.  -1

I can understand that supplies would be abundant considering it's at the beginning of the outbreak, but I don't find it necessary. Hunting, fishing, and growing resources is way more efficient and better for your character.

Are you sure you're playing on the DayZRP Server? I've literally went through towns and found absolutely nothing.

I really don't know what to say to me the game is way too easy and food + water should be a lot more scarce...

[Duplessis]

No, I think with hunting the current amount of food is sufficient.

[Finn]

Nah, I get by quite easily.

I can make one deer last about 4 days of playing.

[Whitename]

We should just wait and see what happens 

 

Also "No, explain why" is a biased poll

[groovy ap]

Am I the only boy who goes hunting animals for food? Eat that fat my guy.

[DerrickStorm]

How about... and I know it's crazy... if you have troubles finding food IG you simply use IC solution and build relationship with a single person/a group that you would pick up food every now and then? You know... develop... interact...

For example I'm shit at PVP but I'm very good at looting, because I don't get annoyed to fast and it gives me something to do while looking for peeps to RP with. Loot for protection = RP.

I believe you, it's random - I could say that I'm pissed that I can't find AK/M4. But on the other hand I've just recently started checking out Chernarus again and only in last 45 minutes I've found enough food (left most of it behind) to support a small settlement. If you really can't be bothered to loot to much, cary literally one piece of cooked fat on you and it should get you through one or two 5-6 hours very active RP sessions.

[Nonplayer]

Yeah no. I think hunting and fishing is a great way to get food. No need to increase food spawns.

[Jackfish]

Im starving non stop, im sick non stop.

Please remove the sickness and increase the food spawns.

I think just having more food would make it easier to RP. I know there's a need to have the search for food as a part of an apocalyptic story, but when someone keeps having to interrupt RP just because they can't find any food for the third time in ten minutes it can get a little annoying. Plus the game still bugs out every now and again, so just having that extra security can help RP, imo. 

[tz]

That’s going to be a no for me. 
 

It’s not that difficult to acquire food.

i don’t understand what the fuss is about. 
 

This is a survival game, if it’s too realistic for you, go play call of duty. 

an influx of food after lore wipe would make sense. Depending on the lore. But give it a few hours and everything will be gone and rarely any food.
 

It’d almost make logical sense to completely get rid of food after a day 30.
 

survival of the fittest. Hunt, fish, pick some shrooms.  
 

but there would be sadness all across the server because people can’t find food

I really  don't understand this?! why do you need to eat every 10 minutes? I literally fill up and don't need to eat for about ten hours! I have NEVER had to interrupt RP to eat food hell I barely ever go into  the yellow. I think every character I have must be superhuman or something.
