Will everyone stop going on as if they have a personal stake in DAYZ ... you don’t. The mod is still in development and as ‘Rocket’ has said on many occasions “the mod was built as an experiment” therefore until it is fully released (as standalone or mod) the dev's can change and do whatever they want!! They could if they wanted to, make it so that every hour an OP weapon or item gets given to a random player and you would just have to put up and deal with it!! A game like DAYZ should in no way be balanced. If players were always on a level playing field then there would be no element of fear. It’s what makes DAYZ... DAYZ and if you don’t like it I suggest you stop playing the mod and go play call of duty or some other ultra-balanced game, Or go make your own zombie survival game the way you think it should be and well see how far that gets!! I accept that feedback is required in order for development to push in the right direction but you also have to accept that new and exciting ideas require a lot of experimentation and failure first.
