How about Balota airfield military loot getting removed?

[Twixxer 159]

Hey there!

I've been playing and testing the standalone for about a week now. I've come to point where I realize that Balota airfield has more PVP and battles than NWA had back at the mod. Forum's Gallery section is flooded with Balota ''gunfight'' videos like this:

and those are just a few videos from the Gallery.

 

This is mainly because of the high military loot ammounts in the area, which weren't there back at the mod. 

It encouraged people to move North to actually come across better items. In my opinion, Balota airfield

causes lots of PVP and KoS on the coast. If devs were to remove the military loot from Balota and instead

turn it into a civilian airstrip where you could find a shotgun or a pistol at max, the situation would be greatly

improved. 

 

What's your opnion on this guys? Feel free to agree/disagree with me as long as you're reasonable :).

Even though I have been killed (on sight) at Balota, I think it is good as it is. Why?

The airstrip simply has a high risk/ high reward ratio.

 

Also, It is easily avoidable & does lure some of the bandits away from Cherno.

All fine. Some like the fast Balota PVP. Don´t like it, go other way.

I agree with you! A lot players do not take the affort to run up to the airfield anymore, because they can just stay at Balota, ghost or recycle the loot as soon as respawning loot is implemented. The NWA was always the most exciting place in the game and now it kind of loses this reputation. Also I think that it doesn't help with the bandits, because they have the possibiltiy to already gear up in Balota and get their hands on a weapon.

Uhm, excuse me? How is it all fine? One of main developers goals right now are to decrease PVP you know.

Well from my experience being up north i have come across some organised clanners hitting the NWAF over hitting Bolata. Why? Its simple really NWAF seems to becoming the clanners area to duke it out and Bolata/Kamenka military site is the Bambi Battlefield, Plus on the upside Cherno/Elektro is not being hit AS hard so it allows legit survivors to loot in relative peace and then move north.

 

Personal opinion, its fine as is.

How about military loot getting removed? ;)

I remember Rocket's words before release of the alpha that weapons will be difficult to find. I hope they are still planning it. I'm tired of this screenshots ("selfies") of full equipped server-swappers. >:(

[Alixtheone (DayZ) 40]

kill or be killed. Simple as that.

[Twixxer 159]

That's just your opinion. You are probably one of the people that camp the coast and kill freshspawns.

I am sure he was saying this about high end military gear, like sniper rifles...

 

[Gdaddy22 299]

Yes we need to remove military loot from the coast. If not remove then at least make it ultimately rare, so that a freshspawn who spawned in Balota won't find M4 with full mags while other survivors struggle to find makarov at the other parts of the coast

You think that the developers reach  this goal by removing weapons?

You are right, remove all weapons.

 

Many types of players out there. Some want survive, like me, others want a quick PVP action.

I like that the coast is full of psychopaths.

The developers will reach the goal for the north with other mechanics. (loot get destroyed, to many zombies etc.)

There are already a lot of threads about this. In my opinion, remove all military loot from spawns.. ie: the south.

I think you're missing the point here. My suggestion is only to remove military loot from Balota, not removing all weapons from the game. Use common sense, please. Also, if you're looking for 'quick PVP' action why don't you just play regular ArmA or Call of Duty?

Is not so high compared to the international airport or military base. Is a friendlier place for pvp

Are you kidding me? You go to Balota airfield, get an M4 with several mags and then go kill freshspawns on coast. And you're saying loot amount isn't high?

[ImageCtrl 719]

 I'll explain for the last time - the KoS rate on coast is higher than DayZ mod's KoS rate on coast. That's utterly wrong, since the standalone was supposed to decrease KoS.

You have nothing to do atm. Thats the reason why all KoS. No Zombies, no bases, no cars, Usesless woods etc.

I'll explain for the last time,

Loot is not finished atm, I´m sure you find less weapons in the finished product anyway.

 

(btw I´ve no problem to argue with you, but do´n´t tell me that I have no points.)

Of course I know what you mean. You mean removing weapons a Balota change the Game.

I think it change not the game. It change only the place this happens. It makes Balota airfield to a anonymous place, nothing more. Now balota tells many storys, look youtube.

No. That's not what I mean. What I mean is to turn Balota airfield into a regular civilian airstrip, where you could find maximum a shotgun or a pistol. It's not supposed to change the game, but to decrease the KoS on coast. Balota tells many stories? What stories, noob bandits killing freshspawns from coast like in the videos I linked you to?

I do not believe a spawn location should have enough military loot to gear up a small clan. At least the barracks have to go.

You prefer a game with no choice. You don´t want KoSéd, don´t go there. You want it, go there. You want protect freshspawn a balota, do it. You want kill freshspawn a balota, do it.

Exactly.

Define ''game with no choice''. You're again missing the point here. People go to Balota, get a M4 with several mags and then kill freshspawns ALL over the coast, not only Balota airfield. If you lack common sense and reasonable argument please don't post.

I got never killed on the coast, maybe we play not the same game. Maybe you stay on coast and do something wrong and think balota weapos remove will help you.

Oh god. There's threads about people getting KoS'd on coast posted every minute, and yet you say nobody is getting killed on coast? I'm not staying on coast, as I stated in the main post I'm testing the game for bugs and for feedback. Personally I've been killed on coast only few times, so I'm not posting this thread for myself but for community. Once again, if you don't have any reasonable argument don't post.

[ImageCtrl 719]

 if you don't have any reasonable argument don't post.

I toled you my arguments.

Read them. I like it. I like that the coast is full of psychopaths.

I like that the coast is PVP area. Whats next? Remove NWA weapons because some people write they get KoSéd there?

I like it, I like that NWA is PVP area.
