Hey JT, Hello,Thank you for the detailed feedback on Ruin: Apocalypse.We have reviewed the issues raised and made balancing updates to improve the early-game experience, scavenging rewards, and player protection.The following changes have been addressed:1. Scavenged item research progress Scavenged items will no longer always start at 0% researched. Items can now appear with varied research completion percentages, creating more randomness and reward variance when scavenging.2. Empty scavenging results We had a short downtown where scavenging was down (maybe an hour) the 2nd day. This has since been corrected. 3. New player protection and hit list balance We added additional protection for newer players after being attacked so they are not repeatedly farmed by stronger, established players. New players now have a 2 day shield where they cannot be attacked unless they attack somebody first. We also added a 3 hour cooldown between attacks from player to player.4. Scavenging vs. stealing balance PvP looting is still part of the post-apocalyptic survival theme, but I believe the first 3 fixes should make it feel that scavenging has a stronger importance. Thank you again for the helpful review. We appreciate the feedback and believe these updates improve fairness, progression, and overall game balance. Would love any further feedback. Feel to message me in game, my username is Ruin. Happy Scavenging!
