Evil Minion 943 Posted May 15, 2015 As an alpha DayZ SA is far from finished and lots of mechanics and feature are still missing. However as testers it might be a good thing to give feedback on the current situation. Now I could have started a topic "list of unviable items" but this might be a lot of work (depending on how much detail is involved) and eventually pretty boring. So instead I will ask the community members to play a little "game" where everyone can pick one loot item (or a group of very similar ones) and explain why this item has very low viability and is rarely picked up for practical reasons. As the game is progressing this might change so please add the (latest) patch version. Finally: Color versions do not count and we do not speak of highly geared players here. It's about items that are either "not really worth picking" picking up regardless of game progress or are only viable under very specific circumstances. Lets start: (.56) Tracksuit pants:A pretty common item that offers two inventory slots. Unfortunately all players start with jeans that offer more protection and four inventory slots. So switching to Tracksuit pants sets you below "starting strenth". There are two situations were you might consider switching: your pants are ruined or you lost them entirely. While the former offers some more protection the loss of inventory space arguably outweights the positives. For the latter it's definitely an upgrade - but you can find more effective items (namely jeans and canvas pants) just as easy. This makes tracksuit pants extremely niche ("I lost my pants and gut really unlucky when looting") and thus not viable at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sachad 1016 Posted May 15, 2015 It's not always about effective. I used to run around small towns dressed in pristine black tracksuits and trainers, drinking Kvass, eating potatoes and beating the tar out of zombies with a baseball bat, because why would I not do that? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parazight 1599 Posted May 15, 2015 Practical is pretty subjective here. Sometimes appearance goes a long way! No useless items. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
