mixshows 2 Posted June 27, 2012 Just to be clear I love this mod, I love Rocket and the team for all their hard work. I talk about this game every single chance I get to other gamers. This post is just to illustrate some recent negative experiences by a huge fan, who has been playing DayZ for a couple of months, in hopes that the devs might tweak a thing or two. Spawning without a weapon is not bad at all, I find its a bit more thrilling at the beginning till you get your first weapon. However I have played the last couple of weeks or so, and loot is much harder to come by. Instead there seems to be a super overabundance of empty tin cans.As a gamer of over 20 years I just feel that its not too fun to invest about 10 hours and find about 2,348 tin cans and not much of other loot. Imagine carefully sneaking into and out of 3-5 different towns, and a few farms sprinkled in between with nothing but a can of coke and and a box of .45 ACP ammo. It's not that fun. At first I thought that it was a one time deal, but this has been my experience for the last couple of weeks. Combine that with the still super-hearing and super-vision equipped zombies that crack bones like butter and you got yourself a recipe for a pretty disappointing dish.Dont let me get started on crawling for 3 hours because a wooden door or zombie broke my legs, and morphine is harder to find than a fully repaired helicopter. Another favorite of mine is walking for endless hours with my 3 monitors glowing black and white, trying to find an animal to kill for some much needed blood. I can even deal with the 1 hour swim to shore, after spawning in a gillie suit in the middle of the ocean. But these are all for a different discussion and will get/have been fixed.Before anyone gives me the side-eye, please know that I love difficult games. Easy games are an epidemic in the industry, and its time someone had the balls to make it this difficult. Finally, my only wish at this moment is for actual loot to spawn and not empty tin cans. Especially weapons, at least just to defend yourself from the zombies like a hatchet. Makes it more interesting to explore your surroundings, to find loot, not empty tin cans.Thanks to the entire Dev team, and especially Rocket. Fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 27, 2012 How about, throwing empty tin cans can be thrown at and hurt zombies? Then you can arm yourself with thousands of weapons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soldier of Failure 14 Posted June 27, 2012 Why are so many people having a hard time finding weps? Ive yet to go 30min after spawning without finding some sort of lead spewing item, hell about 25 percent of the time Im heading north with a AK of some kind, or a good shotgun.Check dem firestatiosn, dem supermarkets, and dem orange brick houses. Or a barn. Then youll be set for days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 27, 2012 I got an AK-74 from Balota and then Strelok and I headed to NWAS to find a pair of AKMs. I don't have too much trouble finding weapons, and neither do any of the people I play with, even the newest players. Maybe the ANZ and NZ servers don't have the same issues some people are experiencing with weapons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 27, 2012 I'd rather not shoot at you if given the choice. I'm a realist, not a survivor, not a bandit. I'll shoot if I have to, or if I want/need what you have and I don't know you, but I'd otherwise prefer to leave you be.If you add me to Steam (Same username as here), I can assure you that I won't gun you down, so long as you give me the same courtesy.
