Alright fellow raptures, if you will, DayZ lovers, some hot news have been dropped. After an eternity of the stars siding with player cries, Bohemia has finally listened and reluctantly agreed to amend the R12 spawn locations. No matter where in the wastes one finds himself, no more aimless wandering just waiting for that spudgun to drop into his inventory. These babies will only spawn in high law enforcement tier areas in both Chernarus and Livonia. If I may say so, finally!
This direct announcement came from the official DayZ Twitter account, for a bit of developer tease: more details are to be revealed during their 1.28 livestream this Friday. Hype added. But let’s be honest: the real juicy drama is not just about shotgun spawns (turns out it’s massively important). The tweet replies section is pure chaos with players just venting away regarding their concerns like it’s some sort of apocalypse therapy session.
We have got the M4 nerf drama. Oh boy. @jcreekmore23 went ballistic (pun intended) on the durability of M4, saying it was “made of chocolate” because the weapon degrades after less than 300 rounds while an AKM goes the distance for about a thousand rounds until it finally dies: Devs, how did you do this magic? Another user @originalname62 just rudely went ahead and demanded the revert with a “wtf” for emphasis. Mood.
Besides that, console players want mods desperately. @TonyBaisden sent them sad face, “Mods for Xbox? :(” and yeah, I feel it. Meanwhile, @Pamela42069 took fashion intervention and requested slutty clothes like mini skirts and corsets because, apparently, “the boys have everything!” Not that you can argue with that logic. So are we getting DayZ on the runway?
Cheaters? They’re still ruining lives. @Dark_Maverick_ got up there and gave a rant about god mode, dupers, and freezes that render official servers in utter uselessness. Preach. Then comes the forever question “DayZ 2 when?” bouncing back and forth between @RainSenshi and @snake_uchiha, with Snake claiming Bohemia is too busy with Arma and his “baby” (DayZ) to consider porting it. Meanwhile, RainSenshi ain’t asking for anything other than a next-gen port that does not run like a slideshow. Fair request.
But hey, it’s not salt all day. @brandonli160028 gave a little praise, thanking the devs for the vehicle networking improvement. That’s a rare wholesome moment there in the DayZ wilderness. And @WrathOfFire31 is hyped for the “classified content” in the stream—same here, dude.
What should one take away? That DayZ players are passionate, a tad bit delirious, and have no fear in screaming into the void. The R12 fix is a win, but this community has a whole laundry list to demand. Tune in on Friday to see if the devs answer any of those, or we all will just be screaming into the apocalypse. Either way, get your popcorn; we are all set for some great entertainment.
