Supply Drops, a bad joke that needs to end

[TimeViewer]

Every supply drop I go to now, doesn't matter what level, 95% of the time, blueprints for Water Jar, Compass, Medium Crop Plot, sometimes a mix of these 3 sometimes (too often) 2 of the same thing.

If this is all it's going to be is these nerfed garbage drops then please just get rid of the things, I'm sick and tired of running like hell to a yellow trying to beat the guy who's flying from one to another, wasting my time and food, just to find this garbage.

We get it, you hate the people who are throwing their money at you, we get it, now just have the good taste to end the poor joke, or at least stop constantly nerfing/saying you unnerfed/re-nerfing it.

I got a compass and a GPS in a red drop earlier today.
I was pissed.
It's pretty bad when you're dropping what's in a red drop.

Still waiting on pearls/oil in red air drops so INLAND bases have at least some way to fight for them resources.

Whites are good for generic supplies. Greens are useful if your building up. Blue and purple, meh, but occasionally you'll get a gem. Red always seems to drop good stuff for me.

Air drops need rebalancing. It's sad when the best air drops are the green lower level ones. Red/Purple are useless.

Say that to the rocket launcher and c4 remote (items, not BPs) I got from a red drop and the nice longnecks (both BPs and items) I've got from purple drops.

I think a minor change would make the supply drops a lot better. Like add some random resources to each drop in addition to what it drops now. Raw materials like wood/thatch/fiber or crafted like sparkpowder/gunpowder/cementing paste...

I wouldnt mind finding a red drop with a compass BP and like 20 cementing paste. D:

Server admins need a few additional .ini lines added to be able to modify the default frequency of each color individually.

Say that to compass blueprints that seem to be in almost every red drop. It's not just me whos tired of them but the entire server.

Farm the caves, they have different loot drops, often much better than the supply drops.

Instead of complaining about the issue, try to find out how else you can get better items.

Remember there are really high level BP's attainable in the game, the question is how? I've just given you the answer. Get on it!

Supply drops are not meant to provide a lot of higher level items or rare gear. People need to remember that.

Those who live in the north would just get reds all the time and be farming them for the higher level stuff. Unfair to those in the south. The game is designed so that north is more difficult to live in and has higher rewards as a result.

Too much rebalancing needed to spawn reds and yellows in the south, so the current system is sufficient.

Farm the caves. I say this again, if you want to get better items and BP's. They're there for a reason.

If loot crates are not spawning, it's because some idiot has placed foundations directly above (on land outside cave) where the crate should spawn or somewhere inside the cave.

Also, if dev's read this, if someone builds above a cave, crates don't spawn. The radius in which foundations affect things affects everything vertically and indefinitely, this needs to be fixed.

It's alpha we are suppose to complain about balance issues. There's no reason to be finding compass/medium crop plot/water Jar low level engram blueprints in a level 60+ air drop nearly every time. Especially when people fight over them.

I'm not saying there should be rare drops every time inside. No one is saying that. What we should find in high level air drops instead of low level engram blue prints is a even spread of resources. Shove some cerment paste/metal bars/bullets/pearls/oil or crystals in there.

The air drops still don't have Stone building blue prints in them. Yet you get a bazillion Wood and metal building blue prints. Why? = Air drops haven't been updated in months.

Air drops need updating. That is clear.

I play SP so all drops are mine:p And I can tell you that you just got very very lucky because even with a flyer and trying to get all the drops I can I still don't have more than 3 pieces of armor with better stats and 2 saddle BP with higher stats.
Most of the rest are BP from stuff I already have, the most common being the medium crop plot, compass and water jars.
Another thing I noticed is that drops seem to be cyclical. Like during x hours all drops of same color will give the same thing or close to, then it changes and again for a while all drops of same color give the same. It's not 100% accurate but close. Like I open 5 bleus in a row and get 5 or sometime 6 iron wall BP then I open a sixth one and I get a saddle BP plus a saddle then the seventh will be the iron fundation BP + the water jar BP and I'llg et the iron fundation BP for a while before it changes again.
