Night playing is the best, especially on servers with very variable weather. 24/7 day sucks big time. It's for wussies. Learn to pick up those flares and chems. Learn to use your flashlight correctly. And learn how to stake a path in the dark. And only full moon is also for wussies... :-p
Has no one thought of setting up DayZ on the modified Chernarus map of the Army of the Czech Republic DLC from BIS? It turns most of the current sea into terrain and the current coast becomes the NW edge of a river.... More terrain to walk around in...
Crafting precision attachments like optics and other aiming devices is downright ridiculous. You need precision machine tools etc. to make these in real life. Just keep it to rare attachment finding and the need for a manual (make you search for two things, then).
Forget crafting complicated optics for weapons. Just make the attachments findable with some low percetage and require finding a rifle manual for the specific weapon. Crafting complicated optics is totally unrealistic in this context. You need precision machinery and skills way beyond the capacity of any player but a CNC operator.
