Are weapon magazines too rare?

[Rags! 1966]

I don't think that you should have to travel immensely far to get an Automatic Weapon. 

 

I think you should have to travel far to get one with relative safety. AK's should spawn in highly contested areas, so that the promise of high level equipment naturally lures players into the area. Remember when vehicles didn't spawn loot? The way that players moved around the map was drastically different. Loot spawning changes the flow of traffic with players, especially military loot.

 

Svergino and Severograd certainly look more tasty with that new military base in the woods right next door...

 

That's one of the reasons that I was happy to see the return of the Turovo military jailhouse. It returned to the town a real reason for you to venture there, even if you were highly geared. Jeeps and pickup trucks can only get you so far. 

 

Of course, the shame about conversations like this is that cowards server hopping for gear basically can negate any improvement or experiment the Devs can make to the spawning of military and high level gear. That's one thing that I LOVE LOVE LOVE about the Experimental servers: No server hoppers, so players are far less geared and are much more organic looking. In Stable games, it seems like every other player I see has just grabbed their favorite loadout from Counter Strike.

Poll options are a bit oddly constructed. First question asks if the mags are too rare, but the answers have another thing tacked on: spawn location. This is asking two separate questions. To the first question, no, it should be pretty damn hard to find mags for assault rifles/carbines. The current rarity is fine. As for the second part of the question, I think that the same amount of mags should be spread over a wider range of military structures, including the camo building, tents, barracks, and jeeps. This would detract from server hopping and reward more detailed searching because the mags won't just be in one spot.

 

Also, the second poll question should say "Barracks" as one of the options, not "Just Barracks", because if someone want's them to only spawn in barracks they simply select the barracks option alone - hence the use of a multiple choice poll. :)

Good points, I should of given it more thought. First poll I've done  :blush:
