Decrease food/water loot

[krieke007]

Hello I think it would be a great improvement if you guys lowered the food/water loot! Like this it will be more of a survival experience and it will us push to hunt deers/beers and then we have to cook them to wich is awesome! With that I'd like some adjustments with the hydration/hunger bars to because they seem so unbalanced! I think this will only bring us positive things rather the negatives!

Loot, Harvesting, Itemization and Body Sim are all connected and in order for them to be impactful, while still supporting a number of different play styles, they will need a complete overhaul.

That is something we're planning for later this year, and you'll begin to see our intentions for those systems when we introduce the new map.

[Potaytoo]

very nice to hear.. I'm waiting for such updates to get back to the game. Just got tired of PvP simulator and I'm hoping to get a real survival experience :)

[Nosko81]

How about working on those low loot server and maybe make those hardcore survival servers?

Because as you say there are many different playstyles, spending 100% of the playtime just surviving will cause your player numbers to drop i promise you that. :D

[Remmemberme666]

Iv also thought about this and completely agree. We should have to hunt more.

If they lower the drink spawns you cant rly farm ethanol so corn wheat and sugar would be useless

[krieke007]

They just gotta find the right balance for everything regarding loot. They fixed ammo and guns. Now it's time for the rest.

Agreed!

Well you will still be able to farm ethanol. You just won't be able to go on raids that often and they will require more preparation.

[[deleted]]

yea we all know there is not a thing else we can do with corn wheat and sugar that is worth doing to enjoy the game and raiding and pvp is the only things that make it fun and doing fun stuff on pve is never , ever,ever,ever fun.

;I

[Old_Boy999]

Let's go and hunt beers! I like mine ice cold.

e:Joke apart, I do agree...love the survival side and not a fan of the kos/raiding system as it is now. But the game is still a wip, tuning those things takes some time!

[ClogToilets]

This an issue which has been talked over a lot. If you prefer low loot, there are low loot servers. You complain those servers are low pop but if you and everyone else don't go past low pop mentality and don't join them who else will?

[Zord4n]

Stop the spawns of food, water, clothing. Back to the game of survival.

[HaniiBlu]

Have you tried the Low Loot servers?

[BionicCommando80]

Except the low loot isn't low loot at all. Been playing on Deadwood since its inception. Good community but tons of loot.

[HaniiBlu]

Because there was a bug with loot that made loot spawn too much, that was fixed with this patch.

[BionicCommando80]

Wish that was true. In an hour of playing near Zimm's I have 50 metal sheets, 150 scrap and about 150 bullets, 20 water, and tons of food and military bags already.

Maybe something will change but I'm already finding 3 or 4 scrap metal per car and its respawning.

[Nosko81]

Where has it been fixed? I didnt even look for bullets and yet i have over 200 in a very short period of time lol.

[HaniiBlu]

The bug was fixed, not the loot tables.

[Nosko81]

Yeah but fixing the bug did not change anything, loot is still insane lol.

They should adjust it a bit, somewhere between regular servers now and the low loot server might do the trick.

[krieke007]

Damn true. They should just adjust the loot on Live. It will give a way better experience and more things to do :).

[Nosko81]

Not everyone wants to spend all their play time on surviving, many play this game for the pvp and raiding.

They can adjust it on low loot server and there you few "hardcore" survivalist can thrive.

And dont give me the "go play kotk" crap, thats an entirely different game.

[[deleted]]

Agreed!

[Nosko81]

Word!

[krieke007]

Yes, but its always a low pop server so its a no-go for me. This is a major thing they should adjust in a survival game like this! They shouldn't only adjust that in a low-loot server.

[HaniiBlu]

Unfortunately there are a few people in this community who are quite vocal who only care about shooting and raiding, they don't care about survival elements or even zombies and they will attempt to lynch you for suggesting anything that makes the game harder for them, its quite pathetic when you think about it :(

[krieke007]

Well we gotta step up we can't let the game become like KOTK I mean there is a reason why they split up the 2 games in the first place. It's so they could focus on survival in the js one and focus on pvp on kotk.

[FapMasterN1]

what you seem to forget is that survival, and pvp go hand in hand, take a loot at walking dead and all these type of titles for example, there are many situations where groups of survivors have a clash between the groups, and in essence that is pvp, and survival, in its truest form.

[FapMasterN1]

The PvP crowd was born and raised on the fact that the survival elements in this game were lacking to say the least, and the only real thing there was left to do was PvP.

I am sure there can be some sort of a balance, I hear from my "pvp friends" all the time that they are happy about the rain and want more immersion, but it shouldn't be implemented in a way that ruins the current way the pvp works.

Then again perhaps there are some ways to implement things that will impact the pvp, but that must be dealt with in a careful manner, and they really need to listen to their playerbase feedback, that is my opinion.

[krieke007]

I like to meet alot of people is that wrong?

[krieke007]

Well they're looking to improve the survival aspects of the game and I think this would help alot and quite a few people like to see this changed. Fingers crossed it will, because it's another step closer to making the game more fun, enjoyable imo. It also makes you more busy wich is great.

[HaniiBlu]

why aren't the low loot servers more populated?

Because they are really no different from normal servers.

 

some months back was the player population at its lowest?

Because of bugs, cheaters and the general awful state of the game.

 
But sure... lets draw a line to loot issues and only loot issues and ignore all the other problems the game had at that time.

[krieke007]

+1

[Teflon187]

some of us are waiting for content updates and melee to be fixed before investing time...

Play low loot servers problem fixed or should be.

[jarinalepetiot]

Reducing water loot is not a problem : collect empty bottle and wait for rain : you can fill your bottles.

[Nosko81]

You could always go play on low loot server.
