I have seen so many discussions about this or that feature (3rd person, bandit AI, Armed Vehicles etc.) What I want is just option to select what you want for your server or world, even more so than 3.0 in terms of vanilla cuztomization.(Just think for example ARK) For example, if bandits are added into the game, a server owner could select if they were on or off, select their spawn rates, bandit camp spawns rates etc. For 3rd person you could select if its on or off or just for vehicles, change FOV, enable/disable crosshair or Freelook in 3rd person.
This last idea can apply for Loot as well, this is just a basic concept idea but you could for example have ability to induvidually select spawn rates for induvidual items or vehicles, or disable them. That way you could either have a server were even a mosin would be rare or a server were you can find something like a humvee with an m2.
The best thing for Nelson to do is just to add a fully customizable experience. That way you can both have something much more hardcore or something closely resembling 3.0.
And you might comment saying that hardcore servers would be empty or die out, well I don’t think so, because the game itself has a lot more survival mechanics and it’s actually gonna be fun to survive in a PvE enviroment. I believe this to be the best decision to keep most people happy.
