DayZ from its beginning on the mod has had both options available. The vanilla game allows the player to switch between perspectives or to play on specific designated servers. The fan base has always enjoyed having the option and feature of switching views. It is a integral part of this game. It will be going nowhere and the devs would be hard pressed to change it too much. They majority of the community prefers the classic choice. We have servers for people who wish to be cemented into one perspective. They can play on their servers.
I was hydrated and energized to the full capacity of the game stomach. You can eat and drink far more than the game leads you to believe. I was healthy as far as you can get it in this game. I had this character alive for some 20 hours game time and it took 3 minutes of the ghillie suit while idling to die. I was not running I was not even jogging really. I was crouch walking and laying down just outside a town while it was raining. My character still died from heat which is beyond silly. Please tell me how you die of heat from being completely healthy and barely moving while wet? The heat values should have adjustment. I have worn ghillies suits before and no they are not always ovens ,certainly not in a rain storm or simply sitting around in a dark forest. As it stands I can't really test the full suit when even idling results in quick and unannounced death. The hot status effect burned fast. It reminds me of the first week how if you didn't let your character rest you would fall unconscious and die. Now it seems like the ghillie suit is only good around bodies of water. So a grassy swim suit unless you want to simply die from using it as intended in the forest or grass. Lets make it viable for the actual work it takes to make one. I sacrifice my bag already for wearing it and it requires a great deal of materials to build. Lets have the heat values at a playable level rather than another recipe and item added to the useless list. Can't count the amount of awful items and recipes in game that are in no way practical. Just look at all the medical supplies that has no use currently. No need for more junk.
Well today I spent a good amount of time gearing up and decided to build a ghillie suit. To my dismay I died from overheating when not even moving. I think the heat values of the full ghillie suit needs to be adjusted. The only way to play as a ghillie now is to spend most of your time swimming. I had the ghillie suit for a good 3 minutes until my character fell over and died lol. My friend saw this and we had a good laugh until the server restarted and I lost everything. Currently its hard to test something that kills you so fast.
