Make Loot Less Obvious

[shadowjack 254]

I keep seeing suggestions that the game should have building X so it will have items A B C. To me that just too much of an easy button if you know exactly where to go to have the best chances to find what you seek.

Maybe i just haven't been through enough apocalypses but it seems to me that the most sought after supplies ... food, water, guns, ammo, survival equipment ect would not be found at your local grocer, gun shop, sporting goods store.

I don't know about yall but every apocalypse i have been through, if im short on supplies in hitting up the first store i see that might have what i need. By the time some random survivor washes up on the shore X # of months or years later im thinking the odds of him finding supplies in the obvious places are pretty darn slim. The better the gear the less likely you will find it where it would have been found pre apocalypse.

The SA seems to be heading this way with gear being hidden in buildings, vehicles ect so hopefully we will see much less loot in the obvious places.

But the thing is, it makes no sense for there to be these things in any other place. I don't keep blood bags at my house, do you? I have basic first-aid, just like you would find Bandages in houses.

Actually is does make sense... depending on the time frame of how long since shit went south. Blood bags would have been grabbed and either used or left wherever others left them. Besides those things need to be refrigerated anyway.

Yeah, but it would be a major inconvenience for such a minor detail.

Im pretty sure they store blood at cooled tempuratures. Isn't the reality that the blood would be bad by now? I mean I am no doctor so if I am wrong so be it.

It's a game, its not real life. If it was it would be boring and full of more than 50 people.

TBH the whole blood thing is a bit of a moot discussion in my eyes. You can't just shove a blood bag in someones face and make them better.

I'm pretty sure blood bags were just added early on as a game mechanic for healing without tons of thought. This was long before Rocket realised hundreds of thousands of people would be analysing every detail of the game or playing it for hundreds of hours.

It sounds like the SA will have a much more interesting system and medics or at least people with good medical supplies will become valuable players.
