I completely agree with you bro. I too have played the mod for years and supported the Standalone from the day it was released. The game in its current state is swaying away from the fundamentals of the DayZ experience which gave it the popularity originally. There are things that drive DayZ to be what it should be The pulse racing as you hear a shot in the distance... The shake in your hands as you desperately try to stay alive while in combat... That fear of losing all the gear that it has taken you days to find. The days need to return where instead of sitting on the coast, players would be heading towards Stary, wondering if you could even make it to the NW airfield to find a good gun. The basic reason to travel has been taken away. The inclusion of things like the prison is a fantastic idea... it has sadly been located in the wrong area of the map. The North West has always been and should still be considered the area to head in DayZ. At the very least add these things to the central points to pull players inland. The servers need to be increased in number also. To maybe a level more like 80, due to the increase in additional towns and areas that have been added. Finding players is almost impossible... until that inevitable point happens where you are shot while looting a camo building.. only to find that they were in the wall More emphasis needs to be turned to Hardcore servers and gameplay. As a DayZ player, playing hardcore is where the game comes to life. I watch you stream and can feel the frustration that have when you are unable to play on Hardcore servers due to them having such a low pop level. Its hard enough finding players on a full 60 man full 3rd person server, so finding someone on a Hardcore server with only 11 players is almost impossible. Everyone knows that the game is in Alpha. We all accept that there will be issues. These problems are less caused by buggy mechanics and server issues... but more down to poor thinking and application. Again as you have said i too love DayZ and only wish it to stay true to what made it so popular. Dev's please listen.... and players please... Play hardcore
