Maybe it was 2 or 3 people shooting at you...Don't jump to conclusions without hard evidence.

In before gutting minigame :p

Well if he goes where 50% or more of the players go to loot, of course he is not going to find any gear...I personally never had any problems getting loot ever since launch.

Well that is exactly what I mean and I don't mean it in a bad way. You like to gear up quickly and are prepared to take the risk for it. I like the risk but I prefer to get geared up gradually (more satisfaction personally), not go to one or 2 military bases/barracks/etc. and end up being armed to the teeth within a short period of time. A centralised location would cater to your play style when it comes to looting, it wouldn't cater to mine personally; is what I was trying to say. I think just by reducing the spawn chance of weapons in piano houses, school and office buildings would accomplish the same thing without having to add yet another centralised location, plus we already have police stations in many major towns which are used for the same purpose.

Well that is another debate entirely. At the moment I personally believe/hope weapons spawns are not balanced at all. Yes, they are decentralised to some extend but not balanced. There are way too many weapons spawning at the moment, specifically rifles and shotguns and if the loot tables stay the same this'll probably be worse when loot spawning is added. Weapons spawning in gun stores would make sense just as Chernarus not having any gunstores would make sense. I would personally make the assertion that it shouldn't have any gun stores based purely on the size of towns/villages and the rural nature of the map. I have to agree with Gewz here with regards to centralisation of loot. We already have more than enough centralised loot spawns going on in barracks and tents and other military buildings. I don't see how adding a gunstore would make things any better, instead it would just make it worse. Also it seems by what you are saying ("as I loot primarily from barracks currently.") that you want the game to cater to your play style rather than anything else. I don't loot primarily from barracks currently and it probably takes me longer than it takes you to gear up but I am sure I am just as armed to the teeth as you are. I don't agree that further increasing the odds of finding something in certain places (which we already have plenty of in the game) enhances gameplay in any way.

I don't know what is more dumb. Acting like that kid or offering help to some random strangers in a self-righteous way, who may or may not want your help, and calling yourself a hero.

What? You mean like confetti? :D There isn't anything you can do about this though. No matter how little centralised the loot gets it still has to make some sort of sense. You can't have high-end military grade weapons spawn in a little farmers hut for example even if the chance of it spawning is really low. You have to centralize loot to some extend there is no other way around it. All you can do is make the really high end gear spawn at random locations, like it did in mod i.e. chopper crash sites i.e. open world spawn sites as you mentioned. Even then you have to contend with the fact that people will eventually know the good locations (i.e. buildings) to loot.

You've got control of what exactly? Looting gear is only part of the battle, keeping it without dying is the real problem i.e. anyone can loot, not everyone can stay alive long enough to enjoy it ;)

Well you are saying that "this is what would happen in an apocalypse" is a shaky argument, yet your justification for having gun stores is just exactly that. You are assuming that is what would happen in an apocalypse i.e. you are assuming that Chernarus would have gun stores despite it being a fictional country and a fictional setting and assuming what certain items would or would not "spawn" in certain buildings. As an example this response. Also I don't understand why you are asking me whether a weapon spawning in a paper bag would make sense. I have mentioned nothing with regards to weapon spawns nor have I said anything about current loot spawn locations making or not making sense. Would having gun stores make sense? Perhaps. Does undermining anything against gun stores based on other "justifiable" assumptions make sense? No, because just like having guns stores, not having them would make sense based on assumptions made in a fictional world which we know little about. I could make the assumption that every household or every 2nd household owns at least 1 firearm hence weapons spawning in these locations would make sense based on THAT assumption, which wouldn't be any different than the assumptions you are making hence just as shaky.

I don't see how your arguments are any less shaky than that.

You can, once loot spawning is enabled.

Well I am going to ask again why? Because your justifications are not really worth the idea. Everything you mention can be done in numerous ways without having to add a new building or having to add anything at all really but to edit loot tables. It is not that I am for or against it, just your justifications for it don't warrant the idea to be taken seriously imo.

I do as well but not because I forgot I am playing SA; because they might have actually fixed it in the latest patch. Log cabins now spawn loot btw.

There is no difference on hardcore servers. You can adjust the FOV and have incredible "zoom" there as well.

Have you tried bug reporting these issues before deciding to post your complaints here?

:D I don't like the idea, I have stated why before in this topic so I am not going to over it again but if people really are worried about it being abused that much mmm > :D (that was supposed to be an evil laugh)

The tears, they are delicious.

Hey it wouldn't be Eastern Europe without tracksuits.

It means you have the lay off the funky skunk for a little while.

Hey, Rambo does it only with a knife!

You aren't aware that there is a head torch and 2 flash light attachments for weapons I guess. As for OP, pretty much what most other people are saying, gamma exploit.

Barricading as far as I can recall will be the next major feature they will add after hunting and along with the roadmap that was revealed, probably somewhere around end of Q2 or during Q3, so about summer time.

It really isn't a different story. No one forced you into buying, you were warned about the state of the game and the lead developer even said himself not to buy the game in its current state. So the alpha "bullshit", as you call it, is fair.

Your articulation leaves much to be desired. Take a chill pill.

If gamma glitching was fixed perhaps, otherwise I see no reason to play at night and I see no reason why any server admin wouldn't opt for day time only settings.
