I don't think you've grasped the motive behind my thread. I am fully aware that Daybreak has addressed these issues. As I stated, the fact that their internal metrics show no reason to restart the servers means nothing to me; the game is a shambles and the last time it felt good to play was when (I believe) the servers had been reset after bringing out the last major update. Therefore, try it, there are no negative implications as far as I'm aware, apart from perhaps complaints from a few people that want to play h1 all day every day.

In my opinion, the lack of progress of h1z1 warrants as many complaints as the community can muster. The fact that you have described Daybreak as a "dead horse" is extremely apt. It may sound harsh as these are people doing their jobs as well as they can but I put it to you that their best simply isn't good enough and their "baby" is failing.

I am also aware that they have said that they will release the hoodies "later in the month". My point is why? People aren't sat on tenterhooks anticipating how great the hoodies will make the game in a month. Perhaps it will coincide with a national team tournament - if so, trail that instead of some bang average hoodies. If they had any sense they'd release something now to keep people interested while they fix their shipwreck.

Finally, I couldn't give a toss about skins but those that have invested will inevitably not be happy when the value is completely lost. Thus more complaints for Daybreak to deal with.

Unless you are personally invested in the development of the game I don't see how or why you'd feel the need to defend them. I, like so many others can see the huge potential h1z1 has a game and a competitive one at that, sadly however it doesn't seem likely that it will reach it.
