Air Drop loot

[barberboy21]

Everyone loves it, everyone contests for it's glory but......

Really need to take out the grenade launcher, M99, AR, AK (regular), heavy assault gear. Just any high end late game tier gear/weapons. I've always felt like since the game dropped that was a really OP way to snowball etc.

Ammo for the M99 and launcher is fine, but I still see no reason that end game guns should be in an air drop...regardless of solo or duo+ groups.

Who are you to call the shots. I paid for those drops as is, not for what you think needs to be removed. Let's take out the C-4 too, hunh? That really killed another game. Wait, how about, they take all the above out of your crates since, you fell they don't need to be in the drops and you can look for them all over again.

I mean I just came back and hopped on a solo server and after 4 drops I got both + ammo and stalker packs + assault gear......

within 2 hours mind you...

so yeah....needs to be elite worthy drops in my opinion.....but hey sucks for the server right?

I reckon in comparison to like Rust or something I guess FacePunch should put m249's in air drops and L96's again.

Buhhhhhhhhhht guess what they changed it. To where at best if I remember you get an LR-300 out of it and a low % of an c4 vs Satchel charge and just basic pick me up n go pvp loot.

It's called item balancing. Don't know if you're referring to yourself as a player who bought the game and feel like it isn't necessary but hey guess what I bought the supporter pack too for these devs! and guess what!

iT nEeDs To Be BaLaNcEd. Shooo troll.

First of all. @HunterKiller you need to chill out. It's a discussion. People can think and believe what they wan't. Respect what they put.

Secondly i agree. Airdrops are OP if you consider the fact there are no AI protecting it.

Airdrops are the only way for me to get great loot because i suck at PVP.
Dont take that away from me XD

[JunkMan]

Only those who have all the weapons want the air drops to be nerfed. It's like that all the time. They got it and they don't want you to have it. Screw the new guy.

Thats the whole point of an air drop lmao high risk high reward

[barberboy21]

I think you two are missing the point Voy and NAME. It's an air drop, they're meant to have "adequate" loot. Not what should be end game loot for high risk pve tasks.

I'll use Rust again as an example:

1). Rust air drops do not drop rocket launchers nor rockets of any sort.

2). You can get the grenade launcher...from the air drops in Deadside...like how does that not compute? I would expect a % drop for that gun based off of elite missions or any end game loot content that is supposed to be deemed "challenging" to obtain.

Also that's another problem I've noticed in this game whether it's high pop or not. I very rarely come across those risking the air drops in the game even though they were changed to instant loot vs. the old wait and open.

Must be me then that finds it unbalanced then. Like I'm glad they changed the scopes n ammo in the basic vendors so people don't go walking around with x8 scope or w/e on early guns in such. That's balancing. I didn't say take out ALL the guns n stuff. Just keep it in a medium spectrum so it doesn't offset the snowballers. Like I use Rust as an example because it's literally the best way to describe the balancing factor of the issue. Before in Rust the air drops had a chance to drop AK's and L96's. Not only did they nerf the damage on the L96's (which now I'm content with) but they dropped the % rate of them on top of how they are obtained.....which is a small % via locked crates and Bradley APC. Those two features are literally "end game" methods to obtain said L96 (along with the heli but I rarely get them to drop from heli).

Y'all get it now?
High powered weapons = High tier looting venues.

If it seems OP, then you must not be playing on ACTIVE pvp servers. The other 2 possibilities - everyone keeps killing you with said good guns often and you are mad, or you are one of those guys that pops a geared player while they are occupied and want to keep them from getting decent enough gear to get revenge on you right away. They just need to add more to do and more to work towards; i.e. some more good attachments, maybe nvg or thermal gogs and optics, maybe more base building stuff, or a couple more guns, (would love to see 1 or 2 .338 guns), or even tweaking the ai more. No need to punish new players who have a hard enough time figuring where to start let alone hit mil bases and what not.

[JunkMan]

I agree with Unspoken. He's already got all the gear he wants and probably a stash of extras and now, he wants to lower the probability of new players being his equal early in game. That's how it is with many players convincing the devs to reduce and or, remove certain items from loot drops. He seems to have gotten them to do it.

Fresh spawn on a server yesterday, not extra gear, not kit provided. Saw a drop, no-one else on so I ran for it, got there, no bp and nothing of note and no room for me to take any of it. Saw another drop, run to it, as well, same ordeal. After five drops, still nothing of note, nothing I couldn't find if I was just searching towns & villages. Logged off.

[barberboy21]

Whelp guess I'm just fast when it comes to suicide snags and get high tier loot? oh well have it your way. Y'all will figure it out later.

Sounds like the inception of the mentality to cause for incoming cheats .

Notice more cheat videos coming out unveiling the widespread use for them . $$$$$

I suspect if a DRM Digital Rights Management isn't put in place for game programs , this very well will become escape from jagoff lite .

Maybe you might like games like Scum where you can manipulate settings of how you run your game program experience ? Perhaps if Deadside goes with a DRM release we all won't be subjected to what others have in mind for us .

There have already been nerfs to game content and who can we thank for that ? If the developers stick to a benchmark of their original design without watering down content there should be a wider range of play ability .

More options would be better , gain more appreciation from the demographic audience , add more respect for the designers . Or don't ~~~~~~

* DRM Free . In order to have the option to experience the game program as originally intended without outside influence .

Homie chill I'm just trying to get end game loot out of a damn mediocre obtainable. Case is closed. People rather have end game loot chance in an air drop than work for it as a squad/soloist. Done n done.

I guess you got all you needed before they reduced it, hunh? Now you want to prevent newer players from having it. You got your wish.

Uhm......what? Air drops didn't change, nor do I think you understand the concept I'm getting at but ya I guess? since I made a post about it?
