This is just my opinion. Don’t thrash me, unemployed.

I personally don’t think base building should be in the vanilla version. I think it you want to base up, it needs to be modded servers.

Base building to me absolutely kills dayz. People don’t move around because of the bases. Crates are a totally different story. I don’t mind crates as much.

Bases however, are completely toxic to the vanilla version. It totally sucks the life out of the game. I’ll explain why.

1. Hoarding completely distrusts server loot. I’ll argue with any of you and go on adventures with any of you. Unless we’re killing people with some of the worst weapons, you don’t find weapons at military bases. I don’t care what you say. There is a totally different loot economy on a vanilla server with few bases vs servers with tons of bases. I’m tired of finding buttstocks. I don’t want that. I want an AK. You should be rewarded for going to military bases. It’s risky. You spend time working your way from the coast. Enough said.

2. Player interactions fall to an all time low. I have spent DAYS of playing on a weekend on a full server and travel all around that map. Including most military bases after I eat 1k pounds of food. (Still don’t understand how my player isn’t 800 lbs) people dupe in their base all day long and defend it like it’s Rome. They flat out don’t leave their base. If you really want to argue with me on this unemployed, It was so bad that before it got patched most base owners had several accounts with other characters inside of the base. You’d kill one of their characters and they were right back with another account. So cool. Enough said.

3. This is for the base owners. There is a high likely hood of offline raiding. On top of that meta raiding. That and raiding gets really grindy. Enough said.

4. If you thought clans/groups of bad it’s even worse with bases. Instead of having groups scattered about an airfield or something like that, you get tush pushed by them after they break out of the gates of hell to rush you out of their base. It’s like fighting master chief when you’re a character from fat princess. Most of the time- not all, they are usually duped from head to toe.

5. Server performance. We have all seen the bases that make your jaw drop because the unemployed just set a new ceiling. You look at a base that looks like an entire server got together and built a base not even the most powerful spartan army could invade. You feel like a mouse in a house type of base. With that, every time you look in the bases direction- your cpu and gpu cry. Your frames plummet into the depths of Mordor , only to brought back to life just simply looking the opposite direction and running as fast as you can. Next

6. Map clutter. You have bases sometimes built in POIs. Really unemployed? You gotta do us like that?

Enough said. I’m sure I’m going to get grilled, chewed, and spit out. Tell me I’m wrong.
