boring game now

[KA-74USER 54]

not enough guns too much survival 

cooking enough food to run to tisy takes half an hour of fishing and cooking now, just to get a vss with no mag

cant find pvp anywhere except the coast anymore 

sakhal servers empty, no interesting locations or loot (needs a urban centre like vorkuda in namalsk). sakhal bunker loot sucks and the bunker is very small and boring

devs are way too stingy with guns, dayz is a pvp game not a pure survival game, official is cooked rn. 

next update adds one low teir smg and a crappy scope 

even the forums have completely died out

feels like they did everything possible to nerf bandits and nomad type play-style on official (inventory nerfs and weapon removals), need stashes to build any weapon over longer periods of time, because you cant carry enough repair kits or mags for guns you dont have yet

spawning system sucks, feels unnatural to have a wave of fresh spawns suddenly appear in one city, loot every item and kill themselves over and over trying to get the spawn location they need, the old system of random spawn points was better

great job devs! really happy we got a constantly screaming fox and stick breaking animations! theres not even a stick in the hands! at the same time guns were removed from many maps... so fun!

and many other annoying changes to mechanics that worked fine for years, instead of adding anything new.

the last update i actually enjoyed was 1.19. everything after has only taken away the fun 

dayz 2 should be licensed to an entirely different dev studio, this is my last effort to provide feedback. there is a massive lack of good taste at bohemia right now

oh .. and the new menu theme sucks!

the focus of the game used to be pvp and the lighter survival mechanics gave context for the pvp, players having to stop and cook or visit a water well in town gave other players context for an encounter 

now with high teir weapon spawns nerfed and survival sim mechanics feeling like the main focus, looting feels unrewarding and players are too busy hunting and fishing to really be out doing anything else. 

most of the time when i do get a kill now in a place like zelenogorsk players dont even have one functioning assault weapon to loot, mostly i find backpacks full of food and water, the shorter gameplay loop of finding food and lower carrying capacity seems to make players just carry lots more food and lots less fun loot. the lack of good guns lr time to spend looting has made pvp very unrewarding, when i do kill they have nothing to reward me with, and when they do fight back most are so under geared they pose no challenge. 

looting somewhere like nwaf right now is so unrewarding its not worth the risk, feels like all the fun toys are locked up in rify and im just not spending that time investment building stashes and finding nbc gear just to carry a gun i could die randomly with and never get to use. 

offical servers are very boring right now and as somebody who does not like the inconsistency of community servers the game feels more dead than ever before. as a pvp player on official im finding the game totally unrewarding and boring right now. 

that sucks cause dayz was my favourite game

maybe they are killing official servers off on purpose to drive up rental income from community servers :0

I moved to community servers a long time ago. I haven't liked any of the official updates in a long long time. 

It's controversial but my main complaint is the backpack space shrinking, the item sizes increasing, and the stamina system. 

 

I'd be fine with the stamina system, IF cars were more accessible and didn't require a week to acquire parts and tools to get running. Or if they'd add bicycles. 10 years ago I would have the time to jog across the map. I now have a wife, house to maintain, and two kids. I'm lucky to get on for a few hours each week. I need the unlimited stamina or at least the nerfed stamina for sprinting, so I cna actually play the game. 

I don't mind the sparse loot of official, getting sick, etc. But the inventory shrink, item size increase, and severely limited stamina are just deal breakers for me for official.
