And anyone who thinks the DayZ SA community has 3m+ users is clearly deluded. It's not even in the top 30 most played on steam.

And you can't mod an incomplete game? So Garry's mod is complete? Many mods for that. So The DayZ mod is complete? Sure as he'll isn't complete but many mods for that. Let's get away from this 'alpha' excuse. The game has been out for around 18 months, how much has it developed? Honestly not that much.

That's hilarious that you think all communities are pay 2 win, shows that you don't know much about them, sure there are some but you'd have to be clueless to play on those servers. I just see this whole modding thing as better sooner than later because I have spoken to 100+ active dayz mod players and they have all been on a similar wavelength. Believe what you want, people will get bored of coming back to the same old constantly.

People need to understand that a large part of the community like these incredibly easy, non-challenging mods. But if you don't like it then there would still be the standard build to go play on. Rant all you want BulletGarden, but that's a genuine desire from people. I'd gladly invite you to my forums to speak amongst 350+ people who play dayz on a regular basis, they will all share opinions close to mine.

the only viable way other than modding that I can see bringing in a large amount of people, at least to get into the top 10 most played games on steam, would be a crazy big update like rust had. One with decent base building, more working vehicles and solid performance - I'll restrain myself from crying about the performance of the current build. Yes it's pre-alpha, but listen to what people want. On a side note, why are there still no bicycles? First thing I'd do if I got my hands on it would be to add in 50+ bicycles on the map, people will like that without doubt.

This may be a bold statement but the community is shrinking rapidly, waiting until the game is released before releasing modding will mean to many people and communities will lose interest. You may call me impatient, but so is the big majority of the community.

I understand what you mean and I'm not one of these guys who claims the dev's work is trash but let's get the community involved and see what they can come up with. If mods like DayZ origins came to SA, so many more people would be interested. SA servers simply cannot stand against the DayZ Mod servers despite it being so much newer. I understand this whole 'pre-alpha' situation but surely having people do content for free will just boost development. Simply look at the hacked servers that imported the arma 2 vehicles when SA first came out, people went crazy for them because they actually included a lot of content. After all, competition for the devs wouldn't be a bad thing.

I've been admining the UK 111 DayZ Mod servers for the last year and DayZ SA comes up quite regularly in conversation, so I am writing this with not only my thoughts but the ones of the players that regularly play on our servers. Firstly. Too many players want different things for it to only have one build. The community is split between a pvp orientated game and a survival of the fittest orientated game. The current build in my opinion is survival orientated. To say it bluntly, the pvp aspect of the game is so unbalanced that I see drastic measures needed to be changed. This is why I believe the only way this game will be fully credible is if modding is released sooner rather than later. Communities like ours, that already have a large influence and player base, will manage to create mods that will be mainly based on our current players' demands, pvp. This will take the pvp thirsty players away from players who want to play the game 'properly'. Both sides of the community will have what they want. Official servers and a minority of community servers will be able to progress with a survival based game while most community owned servers will be able to create new content based on the wants from the other half of the community. Simply look at the DayZ mod servers, they thrive from dedicated communities. Standalone needs modding for it to be a world class game. Thanks for reading, LeBus
