People who don’t like vanilla, Why?
Throughout Reddit, Facebook, discord I constantly see people complaining about how the modded game runs, or how it takes to long to download mods. Like Bohemia owes it to you for their game to function perfectly with mods. We’re lucky we even have such an integrated way to load mods for a server (especially on console!)
I do enjoy playing modded every once in awhile. But damn, I just think the vanilla gameplay is perfect. I play on a very high end pc so I don’t have the typical performance issues with modded that a lot of the community seems to have. That being said I always find my way back to playing vanilla, or vanilla plus.
A big part of my disinterest towards modded servers is choice paralysis. Servers giving you a million clothing and weapon options to the point it doesn’t even feel like an organized military anymore. And then once you get your loadout together and go to save you’re greeted with a config issue such as “items in loadout are rank restricted”
And then it doesn’t even tell you which items and you have to figure it out.
I don’t know about you guys. But when I want to play video games I want to play. Not sit and get my shit together for 30 minutes and then to finally run out to the battlefield, die, and then learn my loadout didn’t save properly.
Anyway, I know this kind of turned into a rant of why I don’t like modded. But I figured I’d offer some counterpoints to why I prefer vanilla.
NOW I WANNA HEAR WHAT YOU GUYS DONT LIKE ABOUT VANILLA!
(Also I am thinking about throwing together my own vanilla + server eventually so I’m interested in what would make vanilla more playable)
