why is it that now when a claim gets destroyed by timer all items in chests get removed
only the items from the claim drop on the ground.
but all items in containers disappear
this was not the case before
This is to prevent other players from claiming literally thousands upon thousands of different resources and items from abandoned bases. It completely ruins the fun and balance for many players, hence this mechanic. And it has been in the game for many months already.
Thats too bad. It was fun to fight for those abandoned bases. :(
