billyangstadt 272 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Found my first heli crash this patch.2 tortillas, aug, ump, acog, 45 ammo, 300 rd box, and a few other things.I hope it's just a lucky find, but I'm finding lots of Magnums and lots of civ guns. I hope it stabilizes after a bit. Edited August 27, 2015 by DanicaHamlin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edwin3 74 Posted August 27, 2015 regarding .58 exp hicks said, that the servers would start with a plus of 50% that wouldnt replenish. he also posted that containers would be counted for the servers loot distribution, meaning that the ongoing hoarding will reduce loot as well. dont know if this accounts for stable and/ or if i got it wrong, but in experimental the rare loot got even rared the longer the servers were online - in my experience. after some days ive been happy to find a mag or vest at the crash sites, even the better civ guns got harder to find. might be coincidence.

That's not good to know. Just means the game is gonna punish people for not playing the moment after a wipe. I didn't know I had to devote myself to this game to find shit like that, why even play if you only play with friends, randomly, to gear up? Why play if you don't have a camp to hoard shit? Why play if you're not the first one up looting? You and your double-rifle, shotgun armed crew is gonna have fun until someone who stacked every rare gun in existence swoops up and decimates you with his buddy. PVP is fun but what isn't fun is being rewarded for simply starting playing at the right time, or wasting hours of your life mindlessly hoarding shit. The loot run in DayZ is fun - Boring, but tense. NWAF is a scary thing, all military bases are. But what isn't fun is the idea that I'll be at an advantage for playing a week late, a month late. Do you think these players will be active enough to die and refill the loot economy? With the capability to hoard shit, the rarest guns such as the SVD, they will just stay in motherfucking tents all day. There's no reason to bring them out, grab a disposable Winchester or another rifle with a scope to snipe, why waste the SVD? This will give us the mentality where players set up their camps, PVP, die, regear, and repeat. All while fucking up the loot economy for everyone else? No thank you... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No thank you...I wholehearted agree tbh, if this is how it works, then its shit. Also might explain why I had found so much good loot on stable but when it was exp, I hadn't found anything worthy. You can bet that in some days you will find only shitty pistols lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mercules 1290 Posted August 27, 2015 There's no reason to bring them out, grab a disposable Winchester or another rifle with a scope to snipe, why waste the SVD? In all actuality you would leave the "backup" winchester in the tent and use the best gun you had, the SVD. Why? Because on your body it can't be taken from you without killing you while in the tent it can be looted without you even being online, much less around your tent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
