Opinions on new loot changes

[yaryardank1 2]

I recently watched WOBO's new video on the current loot changes. And boy do I hate them. Like SERIOUSLY, what is the point of completely removing guns from maps. It's now impossible to find Tundra, AKS-74U, AK-74, and VSS on livonia. ASVAL removed from CHERN! WHAT IS THE POINT??!! This does nothing good for immersion. I DON'T WANT TO BUY MAPS LIKE LIVONIA AND SAKHAL WHEN IT'S NOW GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CERTAIN WEAPONS THAT ARE VERY USEFUL TO HAVE ESPECIALLY SINCE PEOPLE LOG OUT IN BUNKER AND FARM IT!!! I don't understand why the community isn't more livid. opinions?

I think it's stupid bc it just encourages people to server hop between maps which in itself is not realistic imo

I think it's just a way to force people to buy their maps.

I think being constructive is geat 🙂

The developers get a mountain of "lividness" for anything and everything, that may motivate them, but is more likely to demotivate them.

I think it's best to think of how our problem can be fixed and to try to present that to the devs, here or on the feedback tracker or youtube. Or you can write a letter xD

I don't like the new (and old) loot restrictions either.

They do add a little bit more character to the setting of each map and we still have a fun variety of guns and clothes to use, (here comes the constructivity:) I think it would be an improvement if instead of hard restrictions, we had... ok I'll just copy and paste my text from another post, it's too time consuming to write this out every time:

Spoiler

I think it would be cool to have a small chance on all maps to spawn unusual items. Is winter hunter gear deleted from chernarus? What if I want to dress up as a white wolfman? The deleted / not fitting the setting items should be put in a special rarity loot pool. I'd add a small chance for those items, or even any item in the game to spawn anywhere. Like a shiny pokemon. Aks 74u and Bison used to have a chance to spawn on the coast. It didn't cause coastal mayhem because it was so extremely rare. I still remember the one awesome time I found a damaged AKS in a container in Elektro, with 3 bullets which I had to choose how I could best use them.

What sounds more realistic and fun: You can never find any of these fun items at all here, and on maps which have them, they can only be found in the same specific pre determined locations every time. 

Or:  The map and it's locations have loot which fit their themes, but sometimes you'll make a surprising awesome find you didn't see coming.

The loot change is there to promote new map. Plain simple

For me the loot change it is something that should be change

i just cant understand the mentality behind it

maybe to declutter the loot pool, but i think it would just be better if certain guns and mags spawned together in locations, like knowing m16/ stanag mags spawned in zeleno and ak stuffs spawned at tisy. 

more location specific loot might help with the cluttred loot pool more than just straight up removing entire guns and mags from the pool
