The time I’ve spent is MASSIVE playing this game. update 1.06 was very impressing and onlooking but you guys deleted so that if you loot a place and then log off and on, the crate is still open and empty. True, it may force players to move on and keep exploring, but some players don’t want to be forced to do stuff. Also with the logging off and on thing with it players don’t run out of ammo and shelve the game. This has happened to me multiple times, and it is just so annoying. You run out of ammo and have to kill yourself but when you spawn back to a recent safe house you’re forced again to have to set out and find ammo without a working gun. Also, if you are one of the few peoples out there that has a screen time limit you would technically have to wait a few DAYS for the stuff to respawn
Yeah, I agree. This is one of the main reasons I’m putting the game away for a few months. I’m still in the first area, overwhelmed by gangs of hunters and ticks inside, and there’s just no ammo or health left.
At least give the option to have loot spawn be that barren, like a hardcore mode or make it so the further north you go the longer loot takes to respawn, why the hell do I have to wait 4-5 hours for 4-5 bullets?!. Casual players are basically screwed otherwise
Yes i work full time and only play on my day off (if i get the chance) so i get to play once a week. Iam really upset because of no loot in toolboxes and 4-5 hours respawn time. That means i just dont get to play at all now. Thanks.
I agree. I can hardly ever find ammo now which is why I barely play anymore.
I think the respawn logic is broken. If you noticed, in the last patch the devs said they removed from the game being able to see how many lootable objects there were in a location because they thought people felt they had to find all loot. Which is just silly. I don’t know anyone who thought that and it was a useful feature which I loved.
I think they removed the feature because the ammo respawn is broken. It’s supposed to be 4 game hours when respawn objects would reproduce. Well, I can go to areas I haven’t been to in days, weeks even and I still won’t find any ammo. And since there’s no melee… well, the world isn’t much fun without bullets.
Hopefully they fix it and personally, I’d really like the loot objects count back too.
I agree that with the new timeout mechanic, loot amounts need to be balanced. I don’t think the cooldown should be removed, though. Respawning into the same area over and over again is not the way this game is meant to be played and I think it’s good that we’re not able to do that.
Then might I suggest a spawn timer of 1 hour. And then an option to change it to 4 hours if that’s how you want to play. The starting island is ridiculously hard now… so hard that I can see it pushing new buyers away from the game entirely. When you spend the first 2 hours looting and getting a decent amount of meds and ammo, only to have to use it all up in one or two separate fights that may only last 5 mins, there’s a problem…
Like I said, I know that there needs to be a better solution, especially for the starter island. I’ve already suggested changes to the starter island to the devs directly.
The 4 ingame hours can be brutal for those of us with limited time. Might i suggest that every day at a specific time all loot will respawn? Like at midnight or something so you still can’t log out and back in and farm but will be able to cater to those with limited time. Also keeping the 4 hours ingame respawn for the hardcores
