Add more customizability to console server owners
New, UrgentPublic

Description

As title says, there is little to no customization available for console server owners. Editing the missions folder is not enough for many experienced console server owners.

Especially with the new 1.12 update, we aren’t able to customize anything related to weapon damage and armor health.

Not giving console server owners this ability will cause a lot of servers to shutdown or die out.

PC is NOT the same as Console. Console players don’t tend to sit on the game for long periods of hours like PC players tend to. They usually play for a few hours on PvP/inland servers. But with this new update that introduces and encourages a cowardly way of playing (1 tap uncons/2 shot deaths) will kill the player base on console. I’ve been playing on console here and there since 1.02, so have most of the bigger server owners, we know the player base!

I’m asking Bohemia to actually LISTEN to the players and server owners running the big servers, those who know their player base.

Let’s make a change!

Event Timeline

Problematic points with the new update for server owners:

  • players will feel less inclined to PvP, which is in my opinion the best part of the game. As well as the most fun, this encourages players to not want to fight. A lot of players love PvP and only play for that reason.
  • 1 taps and uncons are more common, why even play after running for an hour or two inland? Just to be one shotted or unconned and stunned by one bullet. This is no way to enjoy DayZ
  • PvP and death match servers, these are the most affected servers by this 1.12 update. PvP focused servers are hit the hardest by this new patch, no longer will players have long and exciting gunfights. For example: It will just be 1 shotted uncon and the other player gets the kill.
  • Not enough customizability for console makes the game boring, we are stuck on vanilla DayZ with little customization available, however some of us have found ways to hack the mappgroup files and place loot on walls and such, but this isn’t enough.

Please consider what I say and make changes to console, we are left behind with everything that PC has, and now we have this new damage system that we didn’t ask for/want?
