Dear DayZ Team,

I’ve been a dedicated DayZ player for the past eight years, and I absolutely love the game. However, I have an idea that could improve gameplay and reduce server lag.

Right now, the map is full of vehicle wrecks, but functional vehicles spawn in fixed locations, often sitting idle until a player claims them. Instead, why not remove those pre-spawned vehicles and make players rebuild them from the wrecks scattered around the map? Players could find vehicle parts in specific locations like auto shops, garages, or hardware stores and repair abandoned wrecks to make them functional.

This system would add a greater challenge, make the game last longer, and encourage exploration and scavenging. Additionally, removing pre-spawned vehicles and their stored loot could help reduce server lag. The developers could also introduce designated repair garages in Chernarus, Livonia, and now Sakhal, giving players a central place to restore vehicles.

I believe this change would enhance immersion and make vehicle acquisition feel more rewarding. Thanks for considering my idea, and I appreciate all the work you put into making DayZ an incredible experience!

Best regards,
