Regular / Hardcore separate chars (test servers)

[twingunz 308]

Ok i looked and didn't see a thread about this but i've jumped in a few dif servers by now and it appears that this new hardcore mode runs on a completely new hive meaning you can't gear up in a regular hive then jump into a hardcore as you'll be running different chars (awesome).

Another thing i've noticed is loot is a lot more scarce even in towns that haven't been looted yet, i haven't seen one compass, food isn't in abundance now and the rare can opener is now just a myth!

what i would like to know though, is it the same on regular servers? as i haven't played much on them as i've spent 99% of my time in hardcore (didn't really want to gear up two dif chars when i prefer FPP). Is the loot in regular all really nerfed as well or is this exclusive to hardcore? (which if so is muchos nice!)

Well im still on my 2nd toon, hes been alive or  good while, and in 30 hours with him iv seen a whole 2 can openers lol. My first was given to me by a friend lol. Never seen a mosin, or even a scope for my m4. I do try to avoid high traffic areas though.pay to survive so a moson isnt a high priority, but because i aint seen one yet i know il get that feeling of accomplishment when i do :)

 

PS thats all on normal 3pp on servers :)

...and it makes perfectly sense. And I`d welcome more rare loot on hardcore.
