20 mins after Cherno spawn

Nice video man :beans: You're a pretty lucky man I see. I'm always travelling far north and last days I met only two men though they were trying to kill me.

Sent you a message.

Sunset near Pavlovo.

Agree with you. Mags should spawn in the same place with guns. Not necessary in same loot stack. but if AK spawns in barracks - AK mags should too. If Makarov spawn in police station - .380 ammo and mags should be there too.

Last few times I've been looking for them at mil base in the forest on north (near Kamensk), it's not oftenly visted by players esp on empty servers (all doors were closed). But ok, I'll look more attentively. Whatever it's still a big problem with police stations. You can find a lot of entry level weapons on them (Makarov, PM63, shotguns) but not mags for them. Makarov mags are only spawn at military barracks as I have seen. So I should take Makarov at start and then run to mil base to get mags? Sounds a bit stupid. It's tricky for fresh spawns.

May be I'm just unlucky man but I usually find only trash or nothing on them.

Hello everyone. I'm not sure that I selected correct subforum for this topic, if it will be looking better somewhere else, please move it. Now to the point. After long rest I've decided to try DayZ again. Before this I've been playing last time about half year ago. I thought: "Many things could become better after this time!". And it is, for example, some very stupid bugs were removed. But I spotted a loot issue that I didn't seen before. For example, in police stations you can find A LOT of Makarovs (apx. 3-5 per one), but no mags for it! Literatully, Makarov mags are very common in military barracks, but I've never seen any in police stations. Same thing with many other mags. It's just unreal to find an AK74 mag. I've looted about 15 barracks and still dot't have even one. Sometimes I have 3 AKs, hundreds of 5,45 cartriges and no mags in one barrack. It's a bit stupid and unrealistic, don't you think? Only good source of this mags is Mi-8 crash, but they are very uncommon. And the same problem with much more weapons, e.g. Spotter or SKS. So we need more mags!

I've seen this (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172276-the-communitys-list-of-suggested-weapons-for-dayz-standalone-important-announcement-read/) thread... What do people suggest? Many Russian and Soviet weapons, it's good. But where in real post-soviet poor state you can find weapons like M240, M249, M134, M14, G3A3 and more west weapons? You want another Breaking Point with ACRs, Mk17s in damn Chernarus? We need to add more and more soviet weapons, but not west! Maybe some common weapons can be added, like Remmington shotguns and rifles, but not high level military guns.

No NATO equipment in Chernarus? LOL. If you want to remove NATO weapons from DayZ, you have to add a lot more Russian weapons, like all AK variants, machineguns, sniper rifles (KSVK, VSS Vintorez, and more rifles like SVU that not currently added even to Arma), more hunting rifles, like SKS and more, more, more... I hope we will see this in SA, but now we can use NATO stuff. It was in DayZ since the earliest patches, let's don't change this in mod. We (and devs too) will have a lot of problems.

Mi-8 uses as cargo carrier too. Really, UH-1Y should be replaced with plane, or NATO cargo helicopter like CH-47 (Chinhook). But for now we don't even have normal loot on crashsites...

If you want more realistic, you can imagine that choppers was carrying weapons. Or it gonna be replaced with C-130Js. But random locations is the best way to rare weapon spawn

And powerful military guns will be finally limited - helicrashes' loot spawns only once after restart and it not it all could be found

Auto walk? You're so lazy... Turn on your brain, or make a macros if you can't find out something like this :D http://lvkr.ru/k3RJwE

If people will get only basic gear on state military object, they will travel all around the map to find crashsites. And crashsite hunting will be more dangerous. Because now you know that chance of meeting a man in the center of the map is minmal. Most people looting arifields and camps. And how do we travel now? Careless. Just running trough the forests and fields. But if people will walk there more often... Traveling on the map will be more interesting. You know that most people is not on the regular Elekro/Cherno - Stary - NWAF route, but looking for crashsites and with the same chance could be everywhere. You will be careful, you will check probably sniper spots. I think this will make game more hard and interesting.
