Ok soo after seeing all the demands i got frustrated and put up what i would think will make the best dayz experience. Soo when the dayz mod first got released it was mysterious didnt know where to go how to survive getting your first gun etc.. With the update 1.7.8 and soo on it ruins the mod bit by bit every update , infections , only 1 piece of loot being able to spawn , all the blood system is just shit in my opinion. If you think back to when it first came out is was just much better than it is now. You can see by the amount of players that go on vanilla there are only about 8 servers with people and only three have pop over 10. I would like it to go back to the old days now all you do is find a dmr in some barracks and its end-game , back then you would go and scout for heli crashes to find better equipment at least you would have more variety of guns. So my suggestion would be to make two different copies of dayz mod one with the patch notes just before 1.7.7 and the other one which the smaller crew will work on. DayZOld = 1.7.7 / DayzModNew = 1.8.0 and soo on. After you release dayzOld you will see the increase of people coming back. The newer updates are more annoying than enjoyable. This comes from a dayz veteran who plays since NOV/21/2012 On a side note , all my greatest experiences come from old dayz.
