Do you have to start a new game for those weather changes to take effect? I'm on console, not PC. How is heat/cold different now?

I wish there were more servers. Most of the servers I find are locked or have no one playing. Any suggestions on what PVP servers out there have good consistent player bases? I've got 1000hr+ in actual game time, and I am much like the OP. I've done it all and I either need bandits with Metro/Stalker level AI to contend with or humans to spice it up.

You're so right mate.

Even the servers have fake player numbers, fake company's hosting them, fake sob story's to extract payments from donators, whom cheat and it gets over looked.

I would suggest joining Zyclon Astoria server. Best map on the game. Amazing community. No cheaters, no toxic people, no swearing. You'll enjoy it.

I know every spawn point of zeds and all the loot boxes in POIs. After hitting 1300 h+, the game becomes repetitive and predictable. Nothing new under the sun.

it goes far and beyond even that, eventually pve is just to easy- no challenge.... like i said earlier thats why so many people luv pvp in this game it creates the unknown element pve just doesnt have.

hearing the sound of a player breathing heavily behind you as they run up is DEFINITELY more exciting that a zombie you can easily outrun :)

 
I'll tell ya this. 

This game has a nice and low barrier for entry, but once you figure some stuff out, the default way of playing makes the game way too easy. But, without any mods you can make the game much more difficult. I simply set the difficulty to Insane and Nightmare speed or Insane with no speed change.

The one in-game menu option that I would like to have is the ability to remove traders. It's easy to do in the XML but it would be nice not to have to do that. 

Traders make things extremely easy. When I play with no traders it makes the game much more fun. I do miss doing quests, but you get paid too much for them and the Trader's inventories are too abundant. 

I have no problem with any company making a game easy for new players to get into, but there should be more ways to configure the game in more substantial ways without the need for modding.

It depends on what you want. When you come home from work you don't want to strain yourself too much, you just want to relax a little. At least for me.

PvP is a very specific game, and unfortunately there is no balance in 7d. You enter the server, you have 100 health and a wooden club, and your opponent has a machine gun and 200 health. Somehow it is not balanced.

 
One more thing to think about is, we know this game isn't -actually- complete yet. Every update we see changes to looting, biomes, and talents. unfortunately, I don't think we'll see progression balance tightened up until post-bandits... though I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

.. The new enemies have me optimistic on this front, I'm curious if we're going to see the numbers of any of our current feral/rad zombies bumped down a little so that the new one replace them- or how any of that will work.
 

Balancing is probably very difficult and I support all the menu options the devs have the patience to add that can aid in this- the player with 800 hours in wants an experience very different from the player that has 2. Good luck to the pimps and the modders.

Hallelujah!

 
Honestly playing until day 300 was fun like twice. After that only to build something really big. 

For us day 56 is and has been the usual time to restart since forever basically. It´s not actually new that you are OP af way before that.

 
At a cursory glance, it's a combined effect of the game changing with each major update combined with player experience.  My friends and I used to easily run playthroughs into triple digit amounts of days back in A17-A18 when we first started.  Nowadays, we are generally done by day 70; some playthroughs we've basically gotten done even faster.  Heck, I was making a g6 SMG on my solo playthrough on day 35; with the amounts of zeds in POIs, tho, it was a needed upgrade by that point.  Honestly I don't mind how that's happened; I've more games to choose from than I do spare time, and I am certain I'm far from the only one.

 
As others have said, you learn from repetition - the system/mechanics/etc - to a point the game doesn't hold much in the way of entertainment.

I watch a number of content creators where they have series based on player-made mod systems. I love watching those, and ended up just making the most ridiculous builds I could.
Besides my normal knife/bow/shotgun/revolver build I made one as a paladin ( fantasy ), a shotgun messiah ( love the priest set ), and a Beastman of Khorne. 

Just tons of fun, when my life goes to sh- at times.
