So I had an idea of a new clothing conditions (ie. an extra thing to worry about other than clothing being pristine or not) and the loot on zombies + what I think you should find on them. {Extra Clothing Conditions}: (Obviously, these are just place holder names which I did not put much thought into) Dirt: Mildly Dirty Moderately Dirty Extremely Dirty Filthy Stained with Dirt Blood (+Infected Blood): Mildly Bloody Moderately Bloody Extremely Bloody Drenched in Blood Stained with Blood The "Dirty" condition would be something you would gain from rolling on the ground, it would also be possible to become dirty from just general traveling however it would take significantly longer. This could be a good and a bad thing, it would help camouflage which is why I think it would also be good if you could take off your shirt for example and they'd be an animation for covering it in dirt, but also it would slowly damage your clothing over time. The "Bloody" condition would be something you would gain from close quarter combat and getting shot/hit. It would be possible to get blood on your clothes from the splatter of either shooting someone in close proximity or hitting a player with a melee weapon. I also think this should apply to weapons. You would also be able to gain the "Bloody" condition by being shot or hit, how bloody depending on how much you are wounded and how long it took you before you attended your wounds. You would also be able to get a slightly different type of blood, infected blood. This would be gained by either shooting a zombie in close quarters, hitting one or getting hit by one however getting hit by one would have a considerably smaller chance of it happening from. This would also make you infected if you did not attend to it quick enough which I'll get into how you'd do that now: You would be able to clean off blood/dirt in water and with water from canteens. However, if you do not attend to the bloody/dirty condition soon enough it will stain your clothing. To remove a stain you must use bleach. Infected blood would count as a stain and you would also have to sterilize the clothing with alcohol tincture, or a new item the developers may add in, to be completely safe from infection. {New Zombie Looting}: I think you should not only be able to find loot on zombies occasionally but also be able to take their clothing. Their clothing would not only generally be ruined or badly damaged, but also would have infected blood on them. You would also be able to find other loot on them sometimes, not bandages or cans of food like in the mod as well, that doesn't make much sense. More like military zombies for example, would rarely have AK magazines on them or other Russian military equipment. Medical zombies, once you add them in would have medical clothing and supplies. I also thought very rarely zombies would spawn with an actual gun, they would fire it randomly it no particular direction when charging at a player. I think this sort of thing has already been suggested though. I think you should also be able to find loot on the dead soldiers there are in certain areas, the same sort as military zombies but their clothing would not have infected blood on them and would only be in somewhat bad condition and bloody. I'd love to see what other DayZ players think of this and maybe even the developers, I have plenty of other suggestions but I thought I'd post this first.

Temperature effects are broken since hotfix

As far as I understand, the developers said in the current build of DayZ the effects of hypo/hyperthermia and the sensitivity of your character to heat are greatly exaggerated for testing. Also like the guy above said, I'm sure there are people who dislike the feature because they just think the game is Battle Royale with zombies but people who play the game as it's meant to be and enjoy the survival part, will appreciate this feature. -
Yeah, ha-ha. I do hope they make the heat system a bit more believable and realistic, I think the developers did say they'd exaggerated the sensitivity of the heat in the current build for testing though.

Yeah, that sounds good. Maybe you'd have to just generally keep your character clean other wise you will become ill and unhealthy.
