I'm fairly new to the game but a very experienced OG (original/old gamer). I have a few bones to pick with Dayz's building system, and a few questions, at the moment. Damage the build can take is the least of my issues. Why do I need to place a huge wall to cover a small window? Why can't I place fence kits overtop, or intersecting, each other?
I just built 2 bases, both with multiple walls and a watchtower. Why don't watchtowers come with an option to complete the 4th wall/gate? Why do I have to place it? Why when I try to place the gate does it not let me get within 6 inches+ of the watchtower? I've seen where exploiters look through the crack to gain access to the back of your fence. You would think this would be something the devs have considered? The fence kit went crazy, spinning around like the second hand of a clock experiencing a time warp. again, why can't these items overlap? It was infuriating, and ultimately impossible, to place that fence/gate where I wanted. I had to compromise and that is not something I like doing as I now have no confidence in the security of my base.
Why do I have to leave a gap at the top of a fence in a door opening of an existing structure? Its silly not to be able to adhere FLUSH to what your are building to and adjust the height as needed. I'd be willing to pay 2, even 3x, the resources to have a better end result.
I am an xbox user. How do I remove regular wire from a gate to return it to a wall? how do I remove barbed wire that has been installed? I don't get a prompt with pliers equipped. When I want to get rid of a gate/fence the frame stays behind and I don't get an option to remove it? How is this done?
Why are there some buildings that are completely open you can't place a fence kit down in? Are certain buildings intentionally protected? It looks like they don't want you to be able to make some areas secure.
It is like they want the bases to be worthless.
oh, and I've been murdered by invisible barbed wire once already.
