I don't particularly enjoy community servers, besides most of them don't turn gas strikes off. Every time i look for servers that have I get almost no results. I want to be able to play Vanilla DayZ on a populated server without gas strikes...maybe add official servers that have gas strikes disabled in the config like community servers can. I don't think the gas is particularly bad itself, but the main gripes i have with it are again...

I completely agree that the dynamic gas zones are too frequent, affect too many locations, and the warning system is incredibly lackluster. I quit the game almost entirely after sinking in 2000 hours before this update, now playing this game is just incredibly difficult with the constant fear of getting shelled without warning.

This also applies to the current 1.18 update as well

They aren’t gonna replace it for you, just accept the loss and find another
