Is base building a thing in Vanilla yet?

Or are they ridiculously easy to raid compared to how hard they are to build?

It's either one extreme or the other. On one side you have bases that can be easily broken in with a few grenades, on the other you have "tweaked" Vanilla servers on community make them harder or impossible to destroy.

Then you have servers like Underground where there is a base in every single town and every single castle is walled off.

Would be much easier if people would stop hoarding crap they would never use in the first place, then we would stop having these discussions all the time.

Get rid of base building all together.. There are PLENTY of ingame buildings you can simply plop a gate down and call it a base. All base building does is make people hoard everything and lag out the server with their 4 story packed to the gills douchbag bases.

100% agree.

If you build it smart it is a huge undertaking to break in. If you don't its extremely easy.

Not to mention it also seems counter to the whole game concept of you awaken on the coast yet somehow remember you have a whole arsenal stashed in a base.

It's too easy to block off the prison entrance, needle, or the castles and just snipe freshies from the rooftop knowing that if you die your loot will still be there for your return. Especially on Livonia where the largest hoarde of military and cops are at the prison so as soon as you blow the first door you will have to fight 20 infected and whomever is in that base.

Almost any vanilla server you fly around in you encounter huge lag when flying over any base encountering either a desync or a high ping disconnect. I've seen this many times in a server I play in regularly and it doesn't matter about the size whether it's 4 floors high or a single floor but what would be great to have is a parachute mod that server operators and stand-alones can install to give us players a safe way of landing on the ground without dying when a desync or server disconnect happens. It would save us all alot of time and aggravating interruptions of trying to have fun playing DayZ.
