General Zod 1118 Posted February 2, 2014 Why every time new item is added it becomes FOTM ? Shotgun, new clothes and new drinks are much more frequent than the old ones. I'm currently looking for mosin and every building that I used to find it in now has shotgun inside. Same happened with magnum, when it was added it lying everywhere. New stuff is cool but why it results in a old one being ridiculously scarce. And before someone decides to go condescending. Yes I know where to look for mosin, it's not there.

doctorrayray 76 Posted February 2, 2014 Probably so we can test out the newer stuff and see if its in working condition. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted February 2, 2014 I'm sure they set the spawns of new stuff high to make sure it gets used thoroughly, that way bugs will be found faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cj14 189 Posted February 2, 2014 Because we need to test those new items...loot spawn gets fixed after the patch hits stable branch so it gets more balanced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolidOwlPL 37 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Well then you are one lucky guy. Getting all of these new things. So far from the new things I've found the drinks & Mosin comprensator... Edited February 2, 2014 by SolidOwlPL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishroy 1347 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) i have to say, that i'm quite happy with the loot-chances for shotguns, TBH.Maybe lower it by 15-25%, but that's it.shotguns are quite civilian guns, i think, and therefore more common, than M4 and/or Mosin.So for every Mosin and M4, there should be 1-2 shotguns (maybe) Also i didn't find any compensator, only 2 mosins and 4-5 spraycans all in all since the last patch, so i don't think, they're "thaat" common as you say (at least for me) Edited February 2, 2014 by irishroy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Zod 1118 Posted February 2, 2014 I don't mind testing new stuff but 5 shotguns and not a single mosin is pushing it. Also does the compensator actually works or does it just sit there looking pretty like the suppressor does ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demyx (DayZ) 3 Posted February 3, 2014 On my travels from the shipwreck through the inland all the way back to electro, i have found 3 mosins, 5 shotguns, 1 m4, 50 rounds for each gun. No wonder people can't find certain items they are all inland. What i have trouble finding is a magnum food and canteens. Since i was rocking a m4 i had no use for the rest. But my point is that people sit too long on the coast and see everything looted and log. 15/30, 28/30 pop servers too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canned Muffins 82 Posted February 3, 2014 I don't mind testing new stuff but 5 shotguns and not a single mosin is pushing it.Also does the compensator actually works or does it just sit there looking pretty like the suppressor does ?Mosins are common in piano houses and places like Rifty or the new town.

DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 3, 2014 My friend and I were up to our necks in SKS rifles tonight, I guess like others have said they wanted us to test them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Facetentacles 92 Posted February 3, 2014 I never found a mosin in over 60 hours of play. Tons of m4s and handguns. Then yesterday I wandered into a random barn to log out only to find a mosin laying on the ground in pristine condition. An hour after giving a friend a LRS and all of my 7.62 ammo. Of all the luck... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mosins are common in piano houses and places like Rifty or the new town.Well so far all piano houses had shotguns in them. Also shotgun is rather poor. Only two shots and going to your inventory to reload is pain in the ass. Edited February 3, 2014 by chmielu1258 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishroy 1347 Posted February 3, 2014 and every shot with the shotgun is a sure kill under 20-40m.shotguns are civilian weapons, so they are much more common than M4/Mosin. and trust me, i've found the mosins in the big hospitals on the 2nd floor and in the top level of schools and on the roof-tower of the schools.

Element47 2481 Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) loot spawns will not be balanced until well into beta. until then, its all just throwing items at the testers in arbitrary amounts. any thread regarding "it spawns too often/not enough" is pointless until then.
