Antibiotics issue

[marb68 0]

Should these really be spawning on Heli crashes? They are dropping all over them leaving little room for weapons and important gear. I understand there are more infections in game, but how about put those meds in hospitals and medical boxes where they belong? I went to one crash site and found 3 different spawns of antibiotics totaling 7 boxes. This is a little much.

How do you know the chopper that crashed wasn't a medevac helo, that would make medical supplies a must.

I like diversity in chopper crashes provides you with medical supplies if needed whilst you immersed in the northern reigons of the map without the need to run to a hospital. It can be considered a luck of the draw at times.

with Steak on this one, Medi Helo's will be stacked with supplies.

Its not like you can complain for having to many Antibiotics anyways, before there were rare and now to many?

The med chopper makes sense also.

i thought this was about drug abuse...... i'll leave now...

Have found that antibiotics are now way more common. Maybe too much?

If it was a medivac chopper then it would have a medical supply box like I have seen on many crash sites and not 3 of 6 loot spawns having different amounts of antibiotics per loot spawn.

What defines a medivac helo? A Helo with medical supply boxes or any chopper that hasa antibiotic on it? BTW not one medical box I have seen in game has antibiotics? That makes no sense, not sure why it has to the dev team.

One of the many Heli crashes I have come across is just random antibiotic loot spawns ranging from 2-4 out of a possible 5-7 total loot spawns. Seems like the Dayz team has really gone overboard with antibiotics and in all the wrong places. i.e. Medical supply boxes or hospitals would be a novel place on where to have so many loot locations for antibiotics.

Completely agree, and they are not even where they should be in abundance, medical supply boxes and hospitals

Correction medEvac chopper and why a box sure there are some that have them, however a helicopter slamming into the ground provides enough impact to rip a cardboard box to shreds and scatter its contents.

With the amount of Antibiotics dropping, every chopper in the air must be medivac then :rolleyes:

Its just under poorly implemented plan in game development.Hopefully it is corrected soon enough.

It's strange that hospitals have more "universal" blood-bags than antibiotics, but it's arisen from the fact that the game was set up to keep a reasonable balance between pace and challenge.

I haven't seen a chopper crash recently, so, no comment.

[Goggalor 191]

Maybe all the blood bags aren't O-? Maybe people with type AB+ blood were immune from the virus. If the only people left on earth had AB+ then the type of blood in the blood bag wouldn't matter. BOOM. Problem solved.

[[email protected] 2416]

Having everybody the same blood-type doesn't retroactively replace all the blood-bags in the world with matching donor-blood.

Don't let the logic hit you in the ass on the way out. ;)

MOOB. devlos melborP

EDIT: HA! Thanks to Goggalor for that bit of info. Didn't realise AB+ folk could recieve ALL blood types.

I still think it's a bit of a stretch, but I learned something new.

Appreciated.

AB+ is the universal recipient. Blood type would be irrelevant.

And to address the antibiotic issue. Antibiotics should be common, since they're such a common type of medication and I see nothing wrong with helo crashes spawning them. Sometimes you have bad luck and find nothing but antibiotics when you're looking for an M14 and nothing but M107s when you are looking for antibiotics.

Since the most recent patch I have found over 50 crash sites, more than 75% had antibiotics in their loot and out of all the possible loot at all the crashes, antibiotics are between 25-35% of the total loot. That is not bad luck, that is bad programming code especially when they are not in medical supply boxes and rarely at hospitals.

[radivmoe 47]

i like common anibiotics, and what do you mean they are not in hospitals? that is where i find them all the time!

[intensity 157]

What is this suggesting?

Or did you post in the wrong place?

If you had a serious decease you would throw you important weapons and gear away for a chance of survival and be happy that you got more than you needed.

found six boxes of anti's havent been infected from eating raw meat ... Before patch ... started to rain ... infected ... no anti's anywhere... I can "live" with the current version...

I'm quite the opposite - 4 chopper crashes in the same play session, with 3 in adjacent fields to one another! Not sure if a bug. But there doesn't seem to be any military loot at them any more, only empty cans and medical gear.
