I was curious as which of the following choices people preferred.

 

If you have any suggestions, please tell!

 

I realize that the polls may not have an option that suits your flavor, but please then just choose the most acceptable answer.  Thanks.

Considering the current alpha state, I'd suggest pistols with magazines.

 

Beta and finished game is another story that we'll have to wait and see though.

Pistols should spawn loaded. What moron doesn't have their guns loaded in a zombie apocalypse?

"Increase item spawn rarity" means "make item rarer".

 

Is this what you actually mean? Confused by Q1

Magazines are too hard to find as it is, in my opinion.  When I can go on a low pop server after a server reset, and solo loot Karmanovka (and the two mini towns to the north and SE of it), Svetlojarsk, and Olsha, and in these towns come out with a talon backpack completely full of ammo, but not find a single magazine for any gun... something is wrong with that picture, I think.

I wish they could find some middle ground between lying around everywhere and suddenly 99% gone from the game.

 

I think they hurl adjustments at the game from across the room.  with a catapult.

I don't leave firearms loaded in the house due to family^. What he probably MEANT to say was , who doesn't OWN a clip or magazine / ammo for the firearm they posses.

The kind that used all the bullets and then got eaten.

The problem is not the number of weapons or magazines. They should be plenty of them.

 

But what should be very scarce is the ammo. People have done the impossible and shot every ammo they have at their disposition for prevent to be eaten... Now if almost everybody have been eaten, it's mean their is almost no ammo left.

 

There should be no ammo at all. Maybe 1 bullet for 1 guns on the table loot. On the other hand, we should be able to craft ammo, means if you want to fire you gun, you must gather ressource, then craft some ammo (same system than for fishing, hunting, building, driving, etc...). It is quite incredible than at the moment it is easier to find a gun and shoot, than create a fish pole !?!?

 

I know it is alpha, I hope the devs take this in consideration for what is to come.

The amount of loose ammo is insane. I think it would be more realistic and balanced to have pistols spawning with magazines in them and not just loose ammo all over the place. Think about it, why would anyone have a pistol laying around without full or empty magazine?

Lol. You can't craft ammo without reloading tools, which are practically workstation size.

The poll is confusing and incomplete. I can't tell whether voting on the first question means "should spawn more often" or "should spawn less often". Also if I wanted pistols and their magazines to spawn more often while keeping ammo rarity the same - how should I vote on the second question?
