I’ll have my Fortnite with a side of DayZ, to go.

[EzyStriderPS4 191]

What is the direction of this game? Light sources don’t emit light when you are more than 100m away, and when you zoom in, lights disappear at night.

No bicycle, no motor bike, no bow, no spray paint.

There are multiple available slots for gear. Imagine wearing a sweater and a rain coat at the same time in a three-layer upper body system?

The heat system is bogus. Shoes, hats, upper body, face, and hands should be prioritized, not whether I have a backpack on, or a vest or not.

Shock values need to be reworked. Gun fights are worse than before. 7.62x54 and 7.62x51 need big buffs.

Instead... I look like a backup dancer from thriller and if I want to stay still for 30 seconds (to watch the fire for example), flies descend upon me relentlessly and I can’t hear anything else. We got another 5.56 rifle.

This Halloween “event” is immersion-breaking for me and the game feels less like DayZ.

P.S. The gas is nice and adds a layer of lore. The heli crash sound makes the event much more exciting and dangerous, and most importantly more accessible. Developers are doing some very great things, but this last update, and specifically the new event, has made me put DayZ down for at least its duration.
