Broad server settings

I've seen so many different opinions of what would make DayZ a perfect survival game, that the best solution might be making everything optional?

And by that I mean giving servers the ability to adjust (when restarted):

 

+ Health of players

+ Amount of zombies

+ Speed of zombies

+ Health of zombies

+ FOV (and field of hear(?)) of zombies

+ Amount of loot

+ Spawn rate of loot

+ Type of loot (amount of military loot, amount of firearms equipment overall, amount of food, vehicles etc.)

+ Day/Night cycle

+ Etc. (?)

 

These could all be visible and filtered when searching for a suitable server.

 

So instead of bothering the developers with balance issues, why not let the server admins do it?

No thanks. There would be a million "No zombies only military loot, 24/7 daytime" servers...

 

Finding a proper server would become very hard.

You can (and could) filter out servers not suitable for your needs?
