Why block the NVG completely ?

Why block the NVG completely?
Not need just for PvP, but for the whole game... anyone who wants to play even at night (as well as many other games, if they do not provide for a night in light twilight sun, they directly provide a pair of night viewers by default), must use a couple of NVGs, to fish, hunt, build, loot... you can't do it without seeing decently. Then, since it is DayZ and you also have to defend yourself from all the other players, it is essential to defend yourself.
With this patch, the NVGs have been moved from military zones (Tier 2-3-4 & max 5... however hard to find) to just Heli-Crash ... that is almost impossible to find!
I, in more than 900 hours only on public servers, I have NOT seen even one!
And on some low-population servers I even turned with a car a bit, so I was able to see a lot of Heli-Crash sites in a short time.
Is one of the rarest things in the game (and even more stupid for how they were made. I would have to write even on this, and the new patch does NOT help because the sound is useless if they are so rare and the Russian ones do NOT do any smoke neither and are practically invisible if you do not stumble upon them by mistake, I know this well from my private server where, to be able to see at least one, I have increased the number considerably and turned always with a cars).
And it is NOT enough!
They also imposed the " count_in_player ="1" ", ie the maximum number of NVGs (always equal to 5) is counted NOT only on the map but also if present in a player.
This means that it is enough that in a server there are 5 players with an NVG that it will NOT spawn anymore!
And I think it is well known that helicopter spawns are for the most part bullshit and banality found all over the place... the specific things that SHOULD be EXCLUSIVE are very rare even in Heli-Crash.
Imagine how common it will be to find an NVG now.
WELL.
This will only favor some big clans, which will be able to have the exclusivity and night predominance in the various public servers and/or dupers and cheaters!

GREAT patch, Bohemia... this game is better every time and always "better balanced"!
[irony off]

The NVGs should have become much more popular, precisely because they need NOT ONLY for PvP, but for the whole game and for all types of players: This would be a bit of balance and equilibrium.
Always against the hand, with this unfortunate game, eh... B.I.
Thank you that modded community servers exist, because if you wanted to sell this game only for your public servers, it would be dead already!
Too bad that NOT everyone likes all these MODs and must necessarily struggle with your poorly managed and NOT controlled servers...
But do you (programmers of the B.I.) play this game? Is it really okay with you as you "mistreat" it patch after patch? I can't believe that all the stupid choices you have made with this game have been thought out and decided based on your own experience of the game... I can't believe it!
Try playing it, too, sometime. Indeed, not only sometimes... try to lose hours... or days of play !!! And then I want to see if you still don't notice the bullshit you are doing.
Unless you purposely "push" PvP... push people to kill each other to get anything but a hat or a silly jacket. So it becomes a stupid and badly done game. To "kill each other" there are many other games certainly better made (because they are made on purpose and better), the peculiarity of DayZ is the "pandemic survival", NOT another fucking War FPS... "Push" and improve this aspect, not the others... you will have much less "competition" for sales.
And forget the "group" of "fan boy" and "yes man" who "live" literally in this forum (and in the one of Steam), these 5/6 "fanatics" are NOT the real player base, and neither those who will "guarantee your sales".
At the moment I have almost all my dolls (in the various hives) with the NGV. But as soon as I die, just knowing that it will no longer be possible to find one, I don't know if I'll still want to start over. I have tried the community servers before (PvE only, I DON'T like PvP) and they are extremely boring (with traders) and even more stupid (with the herds of bears and herds of skeletons). That's not DayZ anymore.
I really think that I will move on to other games and surely anyone who will ask me for an opinion on this game, I can not help but advise against it for all the reasons why I have already written several times... and not only me, on some "big flaws never solved".

Maybe time to take a break?

Or it's the exact opposite.
NVGs just shouldn't exist. You want light? Use lights. Simple as that.

Along with that I would love if they fixed zombie aggro during nights, also if they fixed light bugs...

EDIT: also, they could fix nights so they aren't pitch black... NVGs feel out of place for DayZ.

For me NVG could be completely removed from the game. They give too much adventage and dayz isnt military pvp shooter, its survival game. At last make them uber ultra rare same as NVG scopes

[Girth Brooks 570]

On official servers it never gets dark enough to need any light. NVG are a waste of time imo.

[Just Caused 423]

NVG's are fine as they are. They are perfectly rare to make you have huge (dis)advantage. Very, very few people find them and if they do, they deserve all the OP in the world. Until you find one, stick to headlight. 

[Tonyeh 454]

You never need NVGs on official. The nights are so bright it negaties them.

On the private servers I play nights are so short, you can literally wait them out.

Have to say, I like playing with them though.

To do better as a target?
NVGs are the best defense systems against this and those who deny it, or despise it, perhaps it is precisely for this reason: they DO NOT want others to be able to defend themselves effectively. The usual murderous raiders.
Or are they just jealous of the lucky few who found it.

on this I agree

On this absolutely not.
Why, do automatic sniper weapons and night sights, on the other hand, feel up of place for DayZ?
You are making a fool of me ?

DayZ "should not" be a pvp military shooter, but in fact it is more and more, precisely because of the programmers' choices. Why don't you dispute this when other characters argue that "DayZ is not a survival against the pandemic". And the advantage is precisely because is RARE! To balance an object, you either make it "more common" or you remove it completely.

And keep in mind that while the NVG you also use it for fishing, hunting, building and looting... a Night Scope you ONLY use it for killing.

What's worse in DayZ?

see that night sights are much more common than the NVG, since they are located in the fixed gas areas and only count on the map: as soon as you take one, another one is born, endlessly
The NVGs have just been moved to helicopter crashes, which are very rare (I have never found even one in + 900 hours on public servers) and they also count "in player": if there are 5 players with the NVG,  on the server NOT even one will be born ... even if I find a helicopter crash.
This is pure discrimination for a lucky few or the cheater/duper

I haven't insulted you. You have written several essays here about how much the game is pissing you off. Games are meant to be fun, entertaining. As soon as it stops being that, all your doing is picking at a scab. Don't take your anger out on me pal. 

Back on topic, nvgs, I can't remember the last time I had some. I play hard core servers with pitch dark nights and seem to manage quite happily without them.

[i kill people 2]

I'm on official on ps5 and my crew have noticed no nvg's are spawning. we are trying multiple servers, not finding them in heil's either something has changed.

do me favor let me know if you get any info on this issue cheers

more stuff

[General Zod 1118]

Lol DayZ isn't a pvp shooter, every new patch adds a weapon, walk into a small shop in some village that has maybe 15 buildings in it and find a Blaze instead of food, search the houses in the same village find a Repeater and a Mosin. Considering the amount of guns and ammo lying around this game is very much a pvp shooter. Next patch could say add a thermal underwear to help keep you warm, but nah it's another rifle. And then everyone is moaning about endless KoS. 

[EzyStriderPS4 191]

I play hardcore servers with pitch black nights and NVG is an essential end game item. It was fine the way it was with a rarity of 5 and no limit. Reduce it to 3 on the map with no count in flags and it is still good rarity. Everything was fine before the change. Looting shouldn’t be the point of the game. Overthinking the rarity of items is going to lead away from the core of what a sandbox game is supposed to provide: interactions with survivors or lack thereof by choice. 

I’ve been thinking of renting a private server for a decent NY hardcore 1pp experience... With a complete overhaul to the CE to create brutal survival and streamline performance for consoles. Less CE clutter, overhauled infected inventories. Rare guns but always present.
