Is the ridiculous amount of loot due to the CLE?

[billyangstadt 272]

I'm not even going to the loot bombs that are the guard shacks, but I'm getting fully kitted within 30 minutes. Has this been addressed for .58, or is this even considered an issue?

 

Thanks.

The CLE isn't doing anything for you guys on Stable right now. Every time the server restarts, the server is reset to its initialization state. That's why there is loot everywhere.

I'm not taking the piss out of DanicaHamlin with this comment, it's more of a sweeping statement.

Last patch people moaned that they couldn't find loot anywhere and that the game was too hard, now there are loads of people complaining that there's too much loot and its too easy to gear up.

Makes me chuckle is all....

 

Loot will take a long time to get to a good state/balance. The devs are looking at making areas spawn only a set level of gear- coast for instance would spawn only basic thing whereas inland you could get ak's and the rest. They are also looking at putting in a limit to the number of items a building will spawn to ensure that these lootbombs don't keep happening. In .58 the gatehouses aren't even in the spawn files so nothing will be there, same with humvees.

Ah, thanks man.

I'm with ya, man. I prefer the hardcore aspect. I want those few rounds of .22 to be precious, and food be scarce.

You can't please everyone I guess. No one was more excited for 0.57 than me and now I find myself wistfully longing for 0.55. Zombies and loot are 100% of the reason I play this game and both are broken as fuck in Stable atm.

I really enjoyed the early days of .55, the struggle made me care about my character and I remember getting up by Devils Castle before I found an unlooted town. With .57 I don't care anymore about my guy because I know a little run through the apartments at cherno or somewhere and I'll be armed again.

I've also found fewer friendly players this patch than previously because it's just die, spawn repeat at the moment in most of the main towns :(

Actually, for those who like to gloss over the factd, most servers were spawning thousands and thousands less items than they were meant to. The loot was broken on tons of servers. This was confirmed by the devs repeatedly. So until they fixed the broken system, they went back to the old one. Which is on the other end of the spectrum for broken.

They will eventually sort things out and get it right.

IMO, the game is the most fun it has ever been. I can get gear and head to Electro for some fire fights and it takes about an hour. 

 

When it takes 2-3 hours to get junk and maybe not even a weapon I think that is silly.

Then I would suggest heading over to H1Z1 or one of the other plethora of "survival" games that hand out loot like candy because DayZ is only going to get worse.  Never mind, just wait until modders get a hold of DayZ and you'll have your precious loot fest and Electro PvP.

I must of entered a parallel universe....since when exactly have zombies been anything but a very minor nuisance in this game? I mean whatever floats yer boat, but seriously, the 20 zombies in this game are the reason you play it ?

 

even the zombies in H1Z1 are laughable, but at least theirs tons of em :)

In Dayz, supplies and military weapons should be rare. No doubt when the game is released, a plethora of server plugins and mods will come out that changes this. Like Epoch for the mod.

Did you actually read what I wrote or did you just gloss over it? Did you play 0.55? You'll have to forgive me for getting more out of this open world survival horror MMO than what I get out of Battlefield.
