I know exactly where kingfisher is coming from. Just recently, I was after taking a large amount of loot from someone who then moaned to the admins on a community server to get his base deleted before we could take anything after his guys shot one of ours. Now all of a sudden, we are having a fresh wipe which would make him get his wish. It's almost like we are all being punished for being surviving and being good at the game.
I think DayZ is becoming a waste of money and patience. The game needs to be developed in a way to prevent any update from requiring a wipe, or it will just discourage players. DayZ already has a significant problem with lag, desync and the hopium to fix, vehicles. The community feels ignored and lied to quite frequently about why things aren't allowed to happen and receiving 2 very different responses (especially in regard to modding on xbox) and none of the community's ideas are ever listened to. Instead, you're adding things nobody asked for like a broom torch and an eye patch???? Not saying these are bad additions but would be nice if community ideas and needs were prioritised. I think the first priorities with all hands-on deck, is fixing desync, lag and vehicles, before adding anything to the game. How on earth can you build on a broken game? Makes zero to little if any sense.
