Alright, I am gonna be honest with everyone here, I only made this account so I could say what I am about to say. I have only 200 hours on this game total, and I have never in my life developed a game or have written code.
Here is what needs to be done: Weekly Updates.
My suggestion here is that instead of releasing stuff in one big update, do a weekly or bi-weekly update that adds one to three items. Sometimes they can be cars or planes, sometimes they can be something as minuscule as empty soda cans that you can throw away, but it needs to be something. I think even the most diehard fans of DayZ are starting to get worn out, and they are getting really tired really fast. You need to provide some hope for these guys that still want to play your game. For example, add a buildable fence. That isn't that hard. If you got someone working on a fence and just a fence for a week, it would probably be done before that. Make a crafting recipe which involves a hammer, some nails, and some logs from cutting down a tree. BAM everyone loves it and base building speeds up because now they have defenses. Next week, you make a pipe suppressor where you can cut a pipe with a hacksaw and BAM everyone loves this new suppressor! Next week add a pair of goggles. And repeat this until you finally finished the game! You don't have to do this as I said exactly, but it would be nice to get just a few new items every 3 weeks or so, and it would really make me and most of the DayZ community happy.
That's all I really have to say. If anyone wishes to comment about how they should focus on bugs instead of items, feel free. Thats what comment sections are for right?
