Any interest in balanced, less lag, harsher DayZ experience?

Recommended Posts

I have been considering starting a hardcore, optimized performance NY server (closest ping to me). Please let me know if this would interest you, because vanilla DayZ is too easy.

  1. Immersive first person experience (So... no sneaky peeking my unrealistic, paranoid friends!)
  2. Optimized server to client performance improvements
  3. Base Buff by massive reduction in ammunition and grenade spawns
  4. No tacky seasonal events, or arcade mods, or NPCs, just PURE DayZ
  5. No rules

The server would be optimized for performance by cleaning up the Central Economy—let’s face it: nobody needs 120 different collared dresses on the server—and removing infected inventories (except certain military) in addition to tastefully tweaking spawn areas. There will be no craftable crates (lifetime ~3 seconds). Many desirable items and weapons will be rare, but never unavailable because they are in a private stash. 

PvE: The idea is to create brutal survival.

  • Less food and animals. 
  • More infected with occasional hordes.
  • Less tools, but balanced with repair items.
  • Less highest tier clothing.

PvP: It’s DayZ. No extra rules here.

  • Decrease in ammunition will put premium on decision making.
  • 1 of each grenade with delayed respawn will buff bases tremendously.
  • All guns will be rare but never unavailable.
  • Highly modifiable weapon attachments and colors.
  • Always 1-2 NVG on map.

Finite number of dry bags. No crates. Bases and Buried stash last 21 days. Tents, barrels, and sea chests last 30 days. Flagpole = 60 days.

A shorter day-night cycle than official (about 2 hours instead of 3). Dark nights. No personal night light.

No wipe unless advised by developers with new version.

Survival should feel like an accomplishment.

Let me know if this would interest you and I will work on this vision!
