Hello devs,

first of all i will realistic ask what the added value of your own Server is after this update?! I won't flame here. I will give a realistic aspect what i have to ask myself by paying for a server.

A Server cost 720€ a year (= 2 week Holiday in a 5-Star-holtal direkt on the beach of greek or agypt with all inclusive inclusive fly and transport) and i can't:
-set the wether
-set persistance on or off
-ban hacker
-Close the Server if its public (privat = 792€)

Ok, lets have look on "what can i do now after the update to 0.55":
-Set start time of a Server
-Set the Server Name
-Kick hacker, but they can reconnect and i have a look all the time on the log list and can't play, because i can't ban

> Thats all.

So, there is no different now between public Server sponsors by DayZ and having it s own Server. There is now any added value for me by paying so much monay? Now, why all the Server owner should Keep there server?

Now lets ask some questions to brake the new System (persistance loot-spawn
never works):

There is more then no loot. The Airfield with all buildings on the NW has 5 items. Vybor has 8 times (all buildings). The Military base in the NW have 5 items (one water bottle, one rain jacket, 3 AK-buttstocks).

If i drop items, persistance is not working, the items disapear.
Let us create items, if the fields will also not disapear: plant tomatoes. If they are finished, 9 new items spawn. So the Count of items added new items and no new items will spawn, right? If you have enough tomatoes, the System is broken.
Okay okay... with the new System, you will not find all the stuff you Need to create the fields. But if you have it, you brake the System.

But we are in the spawning. If I spawn now, how i will get any weapon? Melee-Weapons are usless vs Zombies. This is no new knowledge. With the best melee weapon (the fire Axt) you Need 4+ hits to the Zombies. You get hit in this time 20 times. If there are 2 or more Zombies, you can't kill them, you Need a fire weapon. But you can't find one or ammo for it. But you have to go in the cities to find food and drink becuase you get very fast thirsty.

So, i should pay for a Server without Change anythink? For no any added value for me as a Server owner?
If now half of the Server owner cancle there Server becouse there is no added value, how the Server provider react?

The next question is for anyone: Think back to the first time you Play dayZ.
What were the best memories that could you make it in the game? My, that I could find a screwdriver and was glad I could do with. A can opener and eating. Now you will not find anything. And then the new zombies. So if there is now my first time in DayZ would be in this update, I would close the game again and uninstall the game.

I unserstand the way BI would go but this is the wrong approach.
