Osiris72 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Seems like the loot in 301 is very unexciting , I have yet to find a SOS and it took us until tonight to find a single DMS. Rifles are mostly of the 6.5mm variety (blah), mostly what we find is 9mm mags, smoke grenades and other bottom tier stuff. Oh and .22s....good lord I ain't never seen so many. We wind up leaving 90% of what we find. I get that nicer stuff should be a bit more rare, but we've done A LOT of looting. Clothes seem to be easier to find at least and food/water is a dime a dozen, but part of what I liked about Epoch was you could play the role you wanted, CQB, support, sniper etc and it didn't take days to find what you wanted. Starting to feel more like Breaking Point on the loot side of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prone Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It's not really an epoch issue, as each server owner has the ability to customize the loot tables... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris72 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 True, but getting an admin to modify stuff, especially if they have to break open a pbo can be like pulling teeth :) Some think that the devs will fix it and just wait.

1Man Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I know who you are talking about and I gave my 2 cents on that issue, it's one of the reasons I left and started my own because he doesn't play enough to understand how players are affected.

cring0 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I hope loot will eventually be region specific. You know, like building materials in industrial buildings, weapons in military facilities (I mean I know some gun nuts and even they don't have smgs under their beds), etc. I think loot would be easier to balance in this case. Arma 3 really needs more varieties of buildings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't taking about him specifically, but all admins...unfortunately you have to weigh changes made carefully and what effect it would have in several ways, that's kind of my point when I mention that it's like pulling teeth and that the defaults need to be adjusted by the devs. As an senior systems engineer IRL, I am very very careful about making changes no matter how trivial...granted it's mission critical systems, but the same can hold true for a game server so I don't blame them. When setting defaults, you want a middle ground to start with...it seems with the latest version, the devs chose extremes...extreme AI settings/systems and lack of exciting loot as opposed to the previous version.

Brez Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I have noticed that loot in general seems a bit more abundant but some items do now seem a bit more rare. Personally I'm ok with that. You really want those items quicker? Then go raid bases or do AI/trader missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
