Too many server resets
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Yellow chain icon appears too often leading to what is suggested as a server reboot?
Since the new patch, the 30 second window and respawn delay could result in more robbing/looting. Luckily I've not experienced it yet. But having to change server so often causes lots of problems.

The problem is that common DayZ players want to "<i>loot 'n' shoot</i>", so the server owners provide the possibility as far as they can/want. And if the game doesn't provide this, they try to workaround.

So the servers don't restart every 6 hours as usual in the mod, but every 2 or even 1 hour(s), as I've witnessed.

I'm very split in my opinion on this, because on the one hand, it doesn't make lot of a difference if loot respawns frequently or the server restarts in very short periods except for players being annoyed of the restarts.

On the other hand, players don't learn to scavange/survive if starvation is no threat while at the same time the biggest threat is some triggerhappy CoD player in disguise, shooting everyone on sight, simply because he can.
