Hello I'd like to voice my concern an opinion about the latest patch. First let's get the big bug bear out of the way since it got every bodies knickers in a twist "The new food and drinks' I see why they did and why they would they have worked on the game for a good while put countless hours of free time and effort into it and asking nothing. And honestly i don't mind it but the way it was done caused this massive uproar. If this was done right introducing a new drink and food slowly, Slightly "hinting" at the person in question and not just having them flat out named after their handle i don't believe anybody would have spoken out like they did now. Or there are other alternatives that could have been used. (Memorial stone in Cherno or on top of Green mountain) Something that wouldn't have pushed this straight into the users faces. All in all both sides have a point and i hope there is a solution to calm everybody back down and not argue about the names of foods and drinks. Now for what concerns me the addition of Razors and Toilet Paper. They don't have a use (yet), And thus should NOT be included into the game they take up places in the loot table and so arbitrarily making proper loot harder to find. I don't know if this is a conscious game play decision making industrial loot harder to find but IMO it was already pretty hard to come by on vanilla servers. Then the other issues with them. THEY SPAWN AT AN INSANE RATE. As in 1 factory building contained 22 of the bloody things that is just absurd and its another reason i don't want something without a use in the game. All in all take it out till it has a function. And the last issue i have is the new no combat roll in buildings. I have no idea why this decision was made, But i assume some exploit that people found if this is the case they shouldn't have done anything there are already tons and tons of exploit with the movement system in arma2 engine and i strongly believe its the server admins responsibility to enforce no glitching and exploits. The reason for this being on multitude of private hive servers there are areas where rooftop to rooftop scaling of factories and other buildings is possible and this creates a whole other depth to the movement system and escaping pursuers. All i would like to see here is a option to turn it on off by the server admin since this new "improvement" is already implemented. I hope i have succeeded in delivering an explanation why people don't like the changes and to show what concerns me. See you all in my scope!
