Is there anywhere we can go to see a list of changes/differences between frostline and vanilla dayz?

Just a quick read where I don't have to watch 10 hours of video?

Frostline is vanilla. The new map has some unique features like snow, reindeer, hot springs and volcanic activity which aren't on the other two maps though.

I can't believe they even have the balls to charge, let alone THIS MUCH, for a DLC on a 10 year old game that needs mods to play correctly and that you cannot play on their "Community Servers" without being overran by cheaters. What a disgrace.

This is some EA level BS...

Did you buy the Livonia DLC before? If you did, you also own the soundtrack now. It's probably referring to that. You'll get another key for Frostline on the 15th when it releases.

That price is honestly too high for a new map. I’ll still pay it, but man…..

Should be more like $10-15.

To think the gaming community has gotten so desensitized that $30 for a single map is somehow "not bad"

It's painful to see people being proud of getting scammed out of more money than they should. The absolute maximum they should be charging for it is $20 (that's heavily pushing it), but $30 is just an absolute slap to the face and anyone who thinks this is a good deal is lost

Why complain about the price when you're gonna buy it anyways? If all of the people that felt the price was too high actually held to their beliefs and didn't buy it and/or made it know that they were unhappy about it, then there would be a chance that Bohemia might see the discontent/lower sales and lower the price to something reasonable. Unfortunately, complaining and not making your voice heard is the same thing as complaining about a particular food at a buffet and choosing to keep eating it despite the fact you don't like it and could eat something else

Other games like ARK release DLCs with FAAAAAAR more content for less, so what justification does Bohemia have for charging 100% over average market value for a single map? Livonia was double the size of Frostline and was only $15, so how does a map half the size somehow justify double the price?

Let's go through what the store page says about the DLC:
- New terrain & winter landscape is literally just map design, so that's to be expected with a map DLC
- By harsher survival, I assume they mean the cold will cause it to be more difficult to get water, harder to keep warm, and faster hunger drain due to being cold. This is nothing groundbreaking whatsoever and is just an adjustment of the temperature on the map and limiting where you can get water
- Can't say much for environmental hazards, but I assume it means that there will be areas that may increase the chances of or cause some sort of sickness if you're in them for too long similar to contaminated zones, but less lethal
- New wildlife is just a fox/rabbit presumably with changes to animal AI/behavior
- New diseases are just going to be copy/pasting the base disease framework and changing catching/symptoms/treatment requirements
- Most of the winter-themed cosmetics are literally reskins of existing assets and, if you didn't know, reskins are an absolute joke to make
