But I mean, hasn't this been at the top of the list on the last 2-3 patches? How is it still screwed up?
gonne be alot, they have to see what people do and how they horde things and fix accordingly. Im expecting at least 3-5 more loot patches to get all the exploits and shit they didnt think of that people will do.

Wow what a roller coaster of a thread. So from what I can gather is that this game is a broken mess but still fun and getting patched all the time.... Is that accurate?
Also do you guys recommend the $20 or $40 version?

But is the loot spawning still broken or does it just need more adjusting?

It's not a broken mess at all. Sure the loot isn't fine tuned yet but the game is not broken. I would get the $20 edition. The events don't take tickets so that's is a huge chunk thats not worth it. You might not even get the airdrops you call in. So yep. Get the $20.

Container loot is broken, loot seems to spawn only in the world.
Idk, but nothings respawning. Have the loot patches so far only being increasing the initial loot when a servers start ?, thats what i've been reading from peoples opinions after playing with these patches.

Dang that sucks. I love the foundation of the game so far, but I think I'm gonna wait a bit now for the loot to get sorted out fully.

Battle Royale is all you need.
The patch certainly worked as far as getting things to spawn. Something in the code is killing respawns after x amount of them. If they can find what's limiting respawns it will be good

I don't blame you, not really feeling the game right now either.
I still need to check Battle Royale out though.

Can you actually get into that easily now? lol

I just wait for it to show up. Normally takes around 15 minutes. I've played 20 rounds this weekend alone
that i dont know, i dont have access to the data the dev's do obviously. Stuff is respawning, but its not enough, but i dont know why that is.
I just want them to make backpacks not shredable, having a backpack on is even more KOS lol its like im almost scared to loot one and just keep my satchel.
its easier to kill zombies right now to gear up. its also safer then going into cities.
A friend of mine had his question answered on twitter, which seemed to indicate that yet another loot fix, and a dupe fix is coming in the next patch (to be released on Monday)

Framed backpacks not showing up on your player model is a huge advantage.
The game is going to be so different when you can see all the weapons people have on them.

yeah, lastnight i had some dude and his 2 buddies yelling, hey boy, we are going to take that backpack from you. Sure enough they killed me, he had a hunting rifle. 2 shots from that, n i was done.
Backpacks make you so KOS its not even funny. Just eliminate shredding backpacks, so people just leave them and everyone has them. Its the zombie apoc, everyone is ging to have a fucking backpack anyways.
Obviously it's not a simple fix, as they have tried 3 times to resolve the loot problem. Tomorrow is another loot patch, as well as more dupe fixes. Among other fixes, I'm sure. SOE said before EA opened, that this game is VERY early (I remember hearing 10% complete), and that the first month will be super crunch mode fixing shit as it comes up.

The game won't open for me. a window opens, screen goes black, then it disappears.

Survival games tend to be more fun before they release. Rust Legacy and the DayZ mod definitely were.

Of course but it's still fun.
I didn't realize you were a GAFer! Cool to see you!
Until they get the loot fixed, they need to give you a sharp weapon or a way to make one out of easier to find material. As it is, I can't survive without making a run into a city.
Yeah they need a "makeshift knife" or something.
This will be nice. There's going to be a lot of moments where people get gunned down when they don't have their guns up though. haha
I was going to hop on. I logged outside of Ruby Lake / Wilderness Camp. There were people there shooting at me when I ran to the forest and logged for dinner.

Battle Royal! Its really easy to get into a server.
1.Go to server list
2.Go to steam overlay
3.Press web browser button
4.Go to Neogaf and Reddit
5. Wait 15 minutes for server to pop up

Up to 150 players battle it out until one remains. If you win you get some major permanent prizes.

So what is everyone's feelings on respawnable sleeping bags?
It seems to come up a lot on reddit so I wonder how everyone feels about them?
In Rust you can respawn on them once every five minutes but can have as many as you want on the server. If someone finds it one chop gets rid of it.
It's a bit of a game changer and will make groups harder to combat as they can regroup easier.
I would make some changes to Rust's formula. Only one per server and a 10 minute respawn delay if you choose to spawn on it after you just did. It would also make it so alt accounts wouldn't feel necessary. I have one alt just so I always have a character at my base.

Nope I just played a match with 150?
"There are actually 42 students in the book/film and to start with we will be capping the player max at 48 in order to give you a better chance to win."
battle royale mod posted that about a week ago.

there are definitely bigger matches. I played on one with over 100 yesterday and died pretty much instantly.
I played one with 80 people. So yeah they are definitely big. I feel like the loot got a lot worse so that's why I haven't been enjoying it as much.
Right now, yes. SOE is lowering it at some point, unless the battle royale mod dude doesn't know what he's talking about.

What do you mean? Every house has an AR, a shotgun, a pistol, A LOT of ammo. A car within 1 mile, a motorcycle helmet, and a military backpack.
ALL THAT can be found by looking in like 2 houses right next to each other.
Whew, close one on Solace in Cranberry tonight!

Oh gosh, I hope not. I haven't logged back in. That was enough excitement for one night. I couldn't believe the guy at the end didn't see me when he came back in, but he must have figured it out, resulting in the "Hey Duuuude" as the logo came up. I wish I could have heard their reactions.
