well if it's getting damaged more often then it needs to be easier to find.

yeah it is 75% so can you either make the armor tougher or make it easier to find? increase the loot drops?

@keba you already start out at map 1 if you die.
Also I wish that armor could be easier to find or less likely to break, but oh well
so not renewing my account until there's a major update to either castaways or swamp or any future Projects.

hmm, interesting, had forgotton that had been changed, ... then why is it i've died, and i think i stayed on map i was on or one i was on after a mission death? ... hmm. will have to be thinking about it at the time of my next death and watch to see if i do actually start on map 1 as i'm ment to. ahh well, that idea need not be taken into account then.  lol

I do see the advantage of storing your stuff but the idea of losing all your items does add a bit of fear to the game for forces you to really think before acting.  Can someone please the list of what items spawn on each map?

Hello aprone, my friend is making a campaign for swamp, and he is making all things as in the compaign guid written, but shift q events and location enter event are not working right, same with spawning items in zones. Can you please fixx that?

I don't agree that death storage would cause players to loot more. The players who regularly loot don't really have difficulty getting their gear again, and the ones who don't can barely get their own sets of gear, so storing stuff wouldn't really help them. What would help everybody would be the ability to purchase better load-outs for when you die. For example, you could spend 25 QP to get 3 pieces of armor randomly selected from a random armor rating, and 50 points to select a new weapon, also randomly selected from the list of weapons. So you could end up with the crossbow, or with a chainsaw, but they wouldn't stack; only one starting weapon. If you didn't like your new weapon, you would buy another roll, same for armor.

@sneak too expensive but I Think it's a good idea.
Better sz stuff to begin with, and you should be able to spend quest Points on loot only items. That would encourage people to quest more and wouldn't discourage people who died 24/7 (such as myself haha)
I'm also in favor of xp for questing, maybe say 2000 per quest ... that's 6k per day ... well perhaps that should be a value for each quest then  the xp given is based on your level.
I'm also fond of the idea to get xp as you loot. This would going out to loot actually be Worth while other than for the simple sake of regaining something you lost.
You could get a sense of achievement / purpose as you jjungled your way through all those piles of loot with ammo and more ammo while as right now, my feeling is that it only is your punishment for dying since well ... map running isn't really fun, everyone's looking forward to well, the hard maps which takes a lot of looting to get the Equipment you  need to survive there, and the missions of course, same deal here.
Thoughts  on this?

Eh. I disagree
Actually, when it became pretty much essential to not just run missions constantly, but to have already run missions constantly to participate, that's about where I stopped playing. Don't misunderstand me, Kakarot; missions and the higher level maps are fun and I want to play them. But That whole deal when you're level 1-5 and have to actually try and stealth around zombies and try to figure out where to go looting and such is actually more fun in some ways--death feels like a loss, but that just means you get out and go looting again.
I've always kinda been on the same page as Aprone with regards to storing items. Swamp is not a game about becoming a God who prances about all day basking in their unstoppable power. It's a game about surviving when society crumbles and deadly monsters are around every corner. Rep inflation was an issue way before things went crazy, so it's no surprise that so many items aren't buyable.

Actually, this:

kinda sounds like the reputation system, except for real.
Like, rep isn't money. It's people's willingness to trust/support you with equipment and responsibilities. The in-game version is that you can't constantly buy things if you keep losing it without putting it to good use.
If we didn't have trading, you'd just have to go find things and build up enough rep to buy things.

... Buuuuut...
When rare items get involved, this starts to get a little more stressful. So, anyone remember how late 1980s-early 1990s games didn't have much in the way of a persistent world or equipment, so you kept things until they were used up, lost, or even just when you completed the current level? You sorta find rare items with the understanding that you're not going to get to keep them for very long, even if (nay, especially if) you do everything right.
But in longer free-roaming games where you can save items, and it takes much more time and effort to find the coolest stuff, that understanding kinda starts to break down.

You know? to me, this is starting to look like people should die more often, and rare items should be a tad easier to obtain. But this is a survival game, not Duke Nukum, so I dunno.
... How did that turn into proposing a compromise? I was just trying to say that I like running maps!

a few random thoughts and other things in this post of mine.
post is a little bit long, but hear are my thoughts.

buying things at the sz is a very nice idea,
i also in agreement that the entire buying system should be reworked, so that you can get a starting gear, to help you along if you die on difficult maps.
or, perhaps having the ability to reset your points when you die, becomes an option. so that you can thus use the armor type that the safe zone supports.

I really dig the xp when you loot, idea, that does sound like huge fun.
imagine getting 100 xp for every loot item, hell that can be fun.
not only will you have fun looting, but you get xp for it as well. in fact maybe xp can even be random, according to maps.

as for storing items, ah now this one is a very tricky thing for me.
I look at it out of a slightly different point of view.
had I a say weather I'd love to store items, my answer would be yes. but my reasons would be because of the following
1. fear of losing items, not. due to death, but due to inventory bugs and other unforeseen things causing you to lose armor, or inventory,
2. as zombies hits harder these days, witch is perfectly fine, the other flip side of that coin is that, armor damages easier, what i mean by that is, that, when zombies hits you, even if you are fully healed, your armor has a chance of becoming damaged, that chance percentage has now gone up due to harder hitting zombies,
this means, that hi armored seems to just as easily get damaged as say, composite armor, or any other armor type. ceramic armor being one of them,
for that reasons storage would be nice, to stock up on those hard to find items.
If, how ever armor items was easier to find, and took less time to find, storage would not become such a need for.
Since you could just go find them all again when you lost them. but when losing them to many times not due to deaths, but due to other factors does, become a bit disheartening.
3. deaths, ah yes we all fear deaths.
but its just one of these things. you are going to die, and you'll just have to get back up on your feet.
While it is nice if you have your friends and helpful players to help you. there's always times when its not possible, or when they even are running low on the things they can help you with.
4. and yes, i am honest,
bragging rights.
if you loot, and invest allot of time looting,
finding stuff, and, also have a real life out side swamp, and thus can't always play.
it is a personal achievement to see your items grow. while i am not one of those who'll brag about exactly what i can put away, and how much i have of x y and zet,  i like to personally see my nest egg grow.
5.
one of the most important reasons for me is, helping others.
that when i help others, or do a complete inventory restore of some one whose perhaps level 90 and still very small, and he dies, it gives me pleasure to see that smile. and to in courage that person to retry. and then to see him or her even more willing to try. just because of that helping hand i was able to give.
this is ware storage can play a very huge part for me.
6.
hosting competitions. doing them takes lots of time, also takes a big chunk of stuff that you have in your inventory, so, having ability to store items would be a nice way to build up a repository.

7. difficult to find items, because of  the hard to find items that you have found,
8. memorabilia. and sentimental value.
think of it as a virtual photograph, or album,
i do.

they serve you with good memories. when you had a good time with your friends, when you went on x y or zee mission.
special events on swamp perhaps,  caused you to find items that you liked, and thus want to keep them.
I end off my little post here by saying,
i don't think there must be a cap of what you can store, i believe that, if aprone is going to implement the storage idea, if he ever will, it must be all or no go.
my reason behind this statement is, there'll always be those who loves to store items,
weather it be for hording, weather it be out of there own personal achievements, or weather it be just for fun to see how much they can get. or weather their ideas are noble, or for personal gain.
or even weather it will be with the goal to help others.

it is very true that in the older days of swamp storage had no space.
but in the new swamp world and with changing player base, perhaps offering the storage system, is a a good incentive,
i must add though that, i believe that, before we can even consider the idea of storage system being officially becoming part of swamp, if aprone decides to implement this. the most important bug, of losing inventory must be addressed first.
because otherwise, the storage system will become a grater drag on aprones time,
he will get constant complaints of player x losing this, player y, can't  find  that,, and so on.

i end off the post with a few questions to consider.
aprone, perhaps some of these ones you can answer,
while it would be nice to see a storage system in swamp, and witch i am in favor for. i ask the following questions that needs hard and long consideration.

1. how much time would it take to implement a well worked out system?
2. will inventory bug adversely affect storage system and impact aprones time?
3. if above, conditions can be over come with suggestions. what sort of reasonable cap can we expect to all agree on, with out affecting inventory load times, or retrieval times upon connection.
4. or is it possible for aprone to, not impose a cap. and thus it is our choice what we can store or how much we chose to store? is it  possible?

well that might be good for hc but for normal players I'd prefer rep for looting. or maybe you choose whether you receive rep or xp. you'd choose that in the same way you would lets say do a reset. something like typing /chooseexp or /chooserep but you can only make that choice weekly or something along those lines.
