gcriseightysix 32 Posted June 19, 2015 The .57 update has been the best stable patch yet, to say the least. I know more of the "survivalist" type players may not agree, and I can understand why. Let me just state that I enjoy the game in many ways depending upon the mood I'm in. At times I enjoy scouring the map in a sparsely looted server, town for town hoping that I may be lucky enough to find food. Other times I enjoy the convenience of spawning in, finding and AK and getting into some PVP action right away. I think it would be cool to implement a choice of different loot economies based on the server you choose. I'm sure this has been discussed, I just don't see how it won't help the issue with kos and difference of play styles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zboub le météor 250 Posted June 19, 2015 that will be an option on private shards later, but not right now, this is too early in the development process. be sure there will be mod/special server with ton's of hight end military gear and other with barely a soda can on the whole map. we just have to wait for the 1.0 realease ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted June 19, 2015 We're in times of plenty right now - like I mentioned in other posts, my recommendation is to hit up the new guard buildings and practice up on your weapons. Because of the persistence off and loot a plenty after server reboots now people basically owe it to themselves to try as many different guns as they can because they're so plentiful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emuthreat 2837 Posted June 19, 2015 So what makes this the worst of times? I don't get it, survival is working great on all fronts; though I haven't seen anything other than cows and chickens. This update is the best yet, agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vfxtodd 125 Posted June 20, 2015 As mentioned in other threads, I think spawning loot in random areas around the map for server restarts will go a long way in balancing DayZ gameplay. No need to make anything "rare". The random spawns of loot will serve that purpose and make the game fair to all play styles. No one can honestly complain when everyone deals with the same loot frequency. And it encourages players to move throughout the entire map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcriseightysix 32 Posted June 23, 2015 So what makes this the worst of times? I don't get it, survival is working great on all fronts; though I haven't seen anything other than cows and chickens. This update is the best yet, agreed.Well my point was that it may be the worst of times for other players who may not be so crazy about looting up with such ease. I personally love it, but I could understand how survivalist players would prefer a map that's harder to loot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=RK=Achilles 31 Posted June 23, 2015 My personal preference would be somewhere in between .55 and .57's loot. I just know my playtime has skyrocketed since .57. I'm really eager to see the loot economy working in its full glory. I guess it's feast or famine until then. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted June 23, 2015 I didn't really enjoy .56 so I took a breather. Dayz is of course in Alpha, so I dip in and out when I feel that need. I played 300 hours in the first few builds, so taking time off and enjoying the big changes is the most enjoyable way to play for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonyeh 454 Posted June 23, 2015 I can't be the only one finding it really tedious? And no, I'm not a PVP'er or gear up in 30 mins type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the best patch by miles based on smoth inventory system, but yeah too much loot at the moment.I really miss item persistence on tents though.

Sometimes I can't help but sending all the devs to hell for the latest "death by glitch" - But everytime I start all over as a freshspawn all is forgiven immediately and I would like to hug them.Is weird... is silly... love it Edited June 26, 2015 by robophant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sneakydudes 278 Posted June 26, 2015 As mentioned, once modding arrives, you'll most likely get your shot at this setup :)Problem is, many don't understand the modding part and many of the posts are misdirected about the development phase. They cant grasp items are being tested etc.. and everything changes patch to patch.Complaints come from pre design flaws that are being worked on. I wish there was an easier way to explain it. 90% of the posts are redundant now. Most of all, they cant grasp its alpha and alpha is testing the structure lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
call him Steve 46 Posted June 27, 2015 To tell the truth, I had more fun trying to find food and only finding my own death(starvation). The thing is, if everything was found easily, as other patches have been, then there is no struggle and gets boring fast. People say the PvP is fun, but in my experience the lag and/or desync kills that style for me. I can always play COD for that playing style, because when I shoot someone in the head, they die. But currently this game is not optimized for the Player/Player interactions, sure it can be done but it is painful to do so. And then the survival style doesn't work so well without the persistent loot system, ie tents. So yes I had more fun on the starving patches. Not because of lack of food but, more so because of lack of Everything. No ammo/guns means more talking and interactions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that we have your ONE playstyle covered, the developers can relax knowing that Steve is happy. They should release the game now and call it, "Starve1Z1".

aasand 92 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Nah.. 0.57 and 0.55 haven't been so good. One has a lot of very noticable glitches and bugs and weird loot while 0.55 was terrible in other ways. 0.54 still beats them both i think.
