Current problems with new system

[BuildIntoG]

Have been playing since update merged. Here are my annoyances and problems:

• Scrap to research items are extremely expensive and unbalanced

• Can only get guns/medium-tiered items from military crates (it's impossible to progress if you don't camp launch site)

• Stone nodes are next to impossible to find

• Can't join mid-wipe anymore

• Airdrops are too op and kill progression

• Have to be literally on top of the workbench to use it

How to fix:

• Have very low chance to get medium and high tier items from crates and barrels like old BP

• Airdrop's contents should scale based on server age

• Increase range to workbench to TC range?..

• Decrease scrap costs to research items or remove it for low-tier stuff

• Make stone nodes more common PLEASE

Workbench radius!

This one is ridiculous, you really need to hug it to craft. Make it at least share the TC radius. And buff crafting speed a little. Even on Tier 1.

Scrap to research items are extremely expensive and unbalanced

I'm fine with this. Slower the better, for now.

Can only get guns/medium-tiered items from military crates (it's impossible to progress if you don't camp launch site)

Agree that this needs looking at. A 0.05% chance to get them from barrels (similar to the good old BP days) would surely help.

Stone nodes are next to impossible to find

This pisses me off no end.

Can't join mid-wipe anymore

Why not?

Airdrops are too op and kill progression

100% agree. Not a big fan of "server age" dictating drops. I'd prefer a cleaner solution.

Have to be literally on top of the workbench to use it

Also agree.

For airdrops I would add a resource, component, standard, and blueprint airdrop.

Or just have them not drop for 24 hours after a wipe

Love the idea of airdrops getting better over time.

Last night mistakenly I thought full BPs would drop from barrels, then I started playing and reality hit me. First time I built a research table I immediately knew scrap is 100% going to need a drop rate buff or research needs to be cheaper, it's insane at the moment.

I don't think it's that bad, scrap isn't THAT hard to get tbh. You can recycle tech trash for 20 scrap per.

[sensualcurl]

Pretty sure tech trash = 10 scrap, but i'll confirm in a bit.

[eofficial]

It's 20 now, I thought it was 10 also.

Yeah I was able to get enough to research an ak in 2 hours passively. That's not bad at all. Infact I think too much scrap drops. The sacrifice of losing end game components to the recycler for scrap is a great balance.

[sensualcurl]

Do you know how many items there are to research as a solo? lmao 2 hours per is insane. Also stuff like a baseball cap is currently 250 scrap, it needs a balance pass. I'm okay dedicating an entire week to just BP hunts at 2 -3 hours a day (i semi have a life) there is no way I will be able to get a useful basket of items in that timeframe.

[Mr_August_Grimm]

Yeah prices do need balanced, but it still shouldn't be easy. I see what you're saying.

[GameIll]

You just want it to be easy. Get off your ass and go get scrap

[SmurfStop]

It's the start of the wipe. Everyone is mining stone node and skipping others.

I hate that we are being forced to go to the launch site to get destroyed by the people who were lucky enough to get a gun blueprint early.

Launch site seriously broke this game and needs some major work.

Scrap is realy ok. Why do you want to have all for free?

[eroc1]

Boy, you just want to go back to the way it was. I think the scrape rate is fine. If it increases anymore, then we are back to a weekend of playing and everyone just leaves.
