What happened?

The game has become a PvP dump; everyone is trying to survive, not just shoot at each other. The game lacks realism: if there’s a helmet, it should protect the entire head, not just the part that the helmet covers.

Reproduction steps

Developers, what’s going on with the game? Why do everyone want to duel instead of survive? Why, when I shoot at a player, do they just run around spamming QE and I can’t hit them? Would that be possible in real life? Reduce the turn speed when running, make the tilt for QE slower. The game no longer has the hardcore survival element that everyone loved about it; now it’s just a PvP dump where no one cares about hunger or thirst — everyone just wants to duel. Who the hell needs these motorcycles?? We need realism and hardcore survival — if you don’t know what that is, I’ll tell you now:

More fall animations (since you can’t make fall physics work for everything)

More action animations (crafting animations, tearing clothes into rags, unwrapping bandages, etc.

+ animations for bandaging each limb)

Reducing turn speed while running, reducing tilt at QE.

This isn’t just what I want — it’s what 90% of players want.

I saw on your social media that you’re doing DayZ 2 — at least implement it there.

Expected result

Please, as a solo indie developer myself, I can say that more players will come to your game after this.

p.s. For hardcore, realism, and the stress of PvP (well, there’s still stress from PvP now, but it will be much more intense).

    This reads like a rant after you got slimed out at NWAF by a better player. "Solo indie developer myself" lol give me a break. DayZ is fundamentally a PvP game and I will not elaborate. There's no right way to play the game.

    QE is a good mechanic to allow the higher skilled players to beat lower skilled players in fights. It allows you to lean around corners, peak your head out around hard angles, and make the best of tricky corners in indoor fights. No game is 100% realistic. But in real life you'd be keeping your plates toward the target, while also making yourself smaller to the enemy. QE is a fair tradeoff between realism and in-game feasability.

    You should have read at least more carefully, bro, I've been dumped many times at military bases, this is dayz, I didn't ask to completely remove qe and completely remove PvP, I just want realism in the game and realistic PvP

    What I'm saying is that in a survival game, where survival should be the main focus, it ends up being mostly PvP. I'm saying that instead of sticking their heads out, everyone is just sniffing the wall in first person.
