loot spawns(from an "adventuring" aspect)

[Ballistixz 12]

so far i am not regretting buying arma purely to play and try out day z. its a great game with alot of potential.

however there is one major thing that bothers me about the game (all bugs/glitches/server issues aside) and that is the spawn locations/rate of weapons and other items.

by heart i am an adventure lover. i LOVE games like this where u can explore a vast area of land and forestry, but there is no reward for doing this which saddens me alot...... ive litterally spent hours exploring a ton of land and areas only to find houses that cannot be entered and towns that have nothing in them except for tin cans and empty bottles. there was completly no reward for me spending hours in the country side when i came up to a single house surrounded by zombies that cannot even be entered nor have loot of any kind around it. the fact that houses cant be entered doesnt actually bother me as much as not having ANYTHING there.

the forest areas are also very lifeless with the exception of a accasional boar/rabbit running around. there is no reason to go into the forest except to hide or get better shots on someone without being seen.

i find this a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and utter waste of potential. the land is enormous and vast, so why is it that there are so many garbage areas/towns that have jack shit in them? where is the reward for wandering land/forest when u find a town? why do deer stands and barns have the "best" chance of loot? why cant any and all locations spawn loot?

is it because of the BS "realism" aspect of the game? well guess what people, its still a game so please dont sacrifice fun for "realism". its so stupid and i hate when people use that argument when trying to make a game. a game is a game is a game.

so TL;DR something needs to be done about loot spawns, especially to prevent loot and weapon farmers/hoarders. so what is the harm of having loot spawn at more locations on the map and more often? honestly there is no purpose for such a large map if ur not going to make use of how big it is. its like wasted talent and potential.

reward the adventurers that go out and live off the land for food/items and PUNISH the ppl that constantly respawn over and over just to get a good and popular loot spawn location.

1: Before you make an argument, please learn to speak proper english.

2: That's why you don't go to one town to look for supplies. I've been into some towns and only found buildings full of tin cans and tires

3: Forests have deer stands, in which one I had found had an AK in it along with some canteens. Past the forest, there is a vast mountain range, which holds a lot more little villages than the coast does, and usually those villages have a smaller population of zombies.

4: When you're looking in those fields, look for red roof-top barns. They're a sight for sore eyes, believe me.

What's wrong with his English? You know very well what he was trying to say, otherwise you wouldn't have responded to his post at all. If his English really is that hard to understand, maybe you should go "learn" some reading comprehension.

He makes a valid point. There ARE a lot of areas in the game that are empty and have nothing in them, and are therefore useless to venture into.

His English is understandable, just because it isn't fucking shakespeare doesn't mean you have to rag on him for it. Douchebaggery aside, I get what you mean OP. Running around a forest for a good hour with nothing in sight except for rabbits and boars is a little disappointing, although I think that's the purpose. The forest is supposed to be an empty desolate place to retreat into, making it the only relatively "safe" zone on the map. If there were loot spawns there it would make it a more high traffic area, making it a lot more similar to zelengorsk or god forbid, cherno. The towns full of unenterable houses with no loot though is spot on, they should have SOMETHING like a loot spawn at the front door

Not a pro or anything close to it but i have found i like running around the vast open fields.

Reasons why.

A buddy and Myself happen to be Skipping along a Forest line When we spotted a dear stand at our 12. Laughing about the loot we found in it (tin cans) we notice a military zombie in the valley next to us walk out from behind some random bushs/trees. We make our way around to get a better view of whats on the other side. It was a Helicopter crash. Wonderful loot.

We headed back to our tree line to get going when to our left almost out of range we saw another one. Needless to say, This game Has loot Everywhere Just sometimes your lucky sometimes your not. We where in the middle of no where (cuz i got us lost as nav).

Also Player tents!
