Uninstalled, Will Come Back When I Can Have Base Defenses

Recommended Posts

Dear DayZ Devs,

I've been playing DayZ for over a year or so and I've loved it a lot. The only problem is your base building and lack of squad functions.
I ended up uninstalling it the other day.
If you update the game I will come back.

1) Base Building

I spent 3 months building a beautiful base with tons of walls, 2 towers, 6 tents, 2 trucks, and 2 cars.
It's in the middle of the forest no where near any towns or cities.
I had all my gear in there and if I died I'd head to my base to gear up.
I'd also do supply runs to keep the base stocked.

One day I caught two guys trying to break into my base and killed them easily.
Then I came back the next day and my entire base was destroyed. Vehicles all gone, all gear spread across the ground or stolen, it was horrible.
There's no way for me to defend my base when I'm not there and it's too easy to lose everything.
I want some sort of turrent or base defences I can build.
I wasted 3 months building that base only for it to be destroyed.
GONE.
PLEASE ADD SOME WAY TO DEFEND YOU BASE SO WE DON'T WASTE MONTHS BUILDING A BASE ONLY FOR IT TO BE DESTROYED IN ONE EVENING WHILE I HAPPEN TO BE LOGGED OFF.
PLEASE.

2) Squad Function

In COD I can form a squad, friendly fire is off (or on depending upon the mode).
In DayZ there is literally no squad or even just a friend system.
Every single person I've met in the game shoots me on site, even when I try to put out the white flag and say I'm friendly and want to work together to form a squad.
I don't know anyone outside of the game that I can play with so I'm stuck ALWAYS playing completely alone.
None of my gaming friends play this, they're all on COD.
And I can't make friends in DayZ because people just shoot you on site because of the way you designed this aspect of the game.
PLEASE ADD SOME KIND OF 'SQUAD UP' SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN INVITE PEOPLE OR ACCEPT INVITES TO SQUADS WITH OPTIONALY FRIENDLY FIRE ON OR OFF.
PLEASE.

As I said, I have uninstalled the game after playing it for over a year. I REALLY like the game outside of these two things.
I just makes me so angry when I spend hours, days, or even months (in the case of bases) working on my character only for someone to shoot me in the back or destroy everything I have in one day while I'm logged off.

Up to you if you want me back.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has uninstalled your game because of this.
I noticed you're player count has gone down drastically.
Maybe if you improved these two aspects of the game, you might not lose all your players and the game could stay alive.

Anyway, there's my two cents.
I'll wait and see if you want me back or not.
Later.
