Well, I've read that items only respawn on server restart.
Dont know it it's gonna end like this, but if yes then I thinkg its not a good idea.
- Server restarts every 4 hours (for example?) 40 ppl log in, they loot everything, someone log after 3 hours running in spawning location, they are cleared totally. Not fair. Ideas to resolve:
a). Respawn only in location where is weapon (and other items) in kinda a distance, but not just one, cause player can't know where to go. Y its survival but why it wont work in point b.
b). If u make that because its more realistic, items do not come from sky (well except fallin airplane or a comet) then everyone should start at the same time. F.e. there should be queue for ppl to start on one server and they start a the same moment. No one can enter later. That would be realistic and fair. But it is impossible to make, noone would play this game, cause servers would have like 2-5ppl.
c). Respawn time would be a good idea though. Not to close to a player, but maybe in a empty town, where someone is near and that person didnt leave it just a moment ago. Im sure you would think about excellent algorithm for respawn rules.
This is just me idea, but really it would be sad if it would stay that way.
