I am honestly really happy with all the changes to DayZ recently. The 0.49 patch made the game feel very different and much better and as a result I am looking forward to the 0.50 patch but tbh I'd much rather the hacking problem get dealt with first and foremost so we actually have the chance to test this game out as it is intended: on a full server! Most people just avoid full servers because as it stands the only way to test any of this out is on a relatively empty server to just avoid the hackers. The downside of that is they are missing out on the core experience of what DayZ offers: Interaction. That should be the priority over anything else. That and some sort of warning for a server restart... At least the mod gives you some control over that! There are so many streamers that give DayZ a lot of free advertising and they are at the point of leaving your game by the wayside because of these issues. You want this fairytale experience but the reality is that most people avoid the fairytale because of the fear of hackers roaming the full servers. Alpha or not, if you don't fix the hacker problem first or deal with the server crashing issue very soon the game will NEVER reach its potential.
