Why I quit this game

[TheRealBlatino]

Bots killed me, no big deal. Friend was guarding all of my items, items disappeared before I can get there. Random online players were not nearby as it was at a non popular location very south of the map and there were only 4 players in the server. I guess they put a limited amount of time until you can go back and pick up your items.

My time is important. If I encounter a glitch in any game where it sets me back 5+ hours I'm not going to want to play that game anymore. I was going to have a few more friends purchase this game to play with us but nah it's not worth playing if things like this occur. The game creators need to compensate players who encounter disappearance of items. That is the only way I'll ever play this again.

I mean, kind of sad you're asking for "compensation" in a crappy early access game. I agree that personal time is important and devs should learn to respect it, but seriously, this game is NOT worth your time lol.

Watched my brother play it for a few weeks and good lord. Screams asset flip with poor coding.

You usually have enough time to run back to your body twice. Sucks when you lose your stuff to body despawn but it can't stay there forever. Its pretty easy to get gear in this game, especially if you play with friends. It would be nice if you got a timer so you would know if was not even worth trying to run back.

it worked better before the update. they just wanted to make the game harder and created certain heavy missbalances.

to answer one of your questions:

As I am hosting an own Server, I can tell you that it is not possible to adjust the time when your dead body disappears and is not loot'able anymore.
This one of the not adjustable things, even as Server Admin/hoster.

By talking to other gamers and due to own experience I can tell you that when you got shot, you got round about 10mins to get to your dead body and get your loot back.
If you "beam" yourself to your dead body (which is possible with admin rights) OR if someone else is beaming himself from somewhere to somewhere during the time you want to get to your dead body, there is a 95% Chance that your dead body disappears and is not lootable anymore.

This is one reason why I host my own server. If some of my loot disappears by unfair botkills or due to disappearing of my body by a bug - I re-create the loot I got so far and play ahead.

They should take away the ability to get your items back, or make you pay a costly insurance fee on your loadout. If you pay the insurance? It goes into a special "insurance storage" at the trader.

1. Risk management which is huge for games like this.
2. Gets rid of the annoying run to get your loot back.
3. Other players can still loot the corpse.

yeah, i also run my own server and do it like that. but the fun is gone - geoing to a heli, getting killed three times in a row, because the m-99 doesn't hit deadly on distances i used to hit them almost everytime before... as you know, a fwe klicks and everything is back: for the admin. but what about the other players? and, most important: the fun is gone. i can't do most of the things i did before any more.

speaking of convoys: they are the easiest thing in the game: teleport to yantar, when a convoy show up on that route. mine the road with four explosive charges. hide in the next house and watch the convoy from third person perspective. and then: WOOM - all dead in a second, everything done.

i can't do a heli anymore, but i have my stash full with skinned heavy assault vests, helemts and svds.

that's no fun.

Wow some people don't get early access games. You are going to encounter these issues regardless so I am confused on why your actually complaining about the state of the game. This game could take years to be out of earl access so I would come back when the game is rid of those issues you speak off. Anybody else who doesn't understand the mechanics of an early access game need to avoid at all costs because you are going to encounter some major problems along the way.

lol, downloads a survival game but dont wanna play since you can't survive in the game, losing stuff is a common thing in this types of games, you lose everything so what? go farm it out again, been doing that since i added this game, also the game is in early access, you knew what you signed up for. The devs don't need to compensate anything, the devs are busy trying to complete this game, instead of demanding unnecessary stuffs, it'd be great if you just share what kind of glitch that you encounter, or just quit and make your life and ours and the devs much easier.

~~ you cheated me out of tricks or treat , you blockhead , i waited all night for that stupid great pumpkin all for nothing . i demand restitution , i'll sue ! ~~~~

Its easy and quick to recover what was lost.. It sucks that its lost, but its not nearly as devastating as it would be in games like, Escape from Tarkov

[BodyCount]

SCUMS better

[SEER]

Man i feel you, i play solo so it's even worst for me, i go to a mission (easy or medium because i dont have good weapons), i die, come back for loot and finish the mission, go to sell the loot and get some good weapons, go to a hard mission, die to an AI or player, cant get my loot back. go loot some items to sell and get some good weapons, rinse and repeat.

...and that's pretty much the gameplay loop. It's the same concept as DayZ or Tarkov, it just takes significantly less time to get to the action.
