I agree with both Markus Dex and Le Troll. A lot of jokes have been made on this thread and a lot of rage has spread within it too. This game is a great game; many of you who play this game know that it is otherwise you would either be on a different server or be doing something entirely different than playing this total god send of a game. However there are many things that have been needed to be revamped for some time now. This inability to loot does anger most of us, including me, but the main thing to realise is that war never changes - only the approach to it does. We older players know that looting the dead is fun and rewarding. The entire point of the wasteland is to survive and death only comes by making the wrong decisions. I hear many people arguing about the "grind" to get gear, getting frustrated by losing it on death and having to repeat the whole process again. To these people I want to say that it is not only you who do it; everybody in the server has to do it. It takes a good proportion of your time to get set up properly to engage in any player versus player or player versus enemy activity but the reward at the end is worth the time spent gathering, crafting and farming. The current update is a nuisance to the older players who have played this game with the original backbone of surviving or dying and learning from it.
Having said all that, this is an "organic" game. What I mean by this is that Reloaded will always be changing hence why we have wipes in the game. This is a new feature that the development team have decided to test out and I have full belief in them to make balances and create new ideas to make this game more engaging for the new and for the old. I do not believe that this will be the only thing that they will be trying out. Anybody who is
ragequiting leaving the game for this simple no loot feature is clearly not appreciative nor supportive of the game. This entire process, from my point of view, is just the dev team implementing and testing out new features - sort of a pre beta wipe phase if you will - in order to view their ideas in an active community; people leaving this game will not help with this stage at all.
For now all I can say is that we should have fun with this current update. Yes jokes, taunts, rants and complaints will continue to surface but this is simply because the new and old players have mixed ideas between them, but overall the bigger picture is that Kilgore, DocAN, Cubik (is he even doing anything?), Corosive and anyone else on the small development team are ultimately finding ways to make Reloaded equal in terms of fun and gameplay for each and everyone of us.
Now, back to my usual posting against the update but still in support of it:
