Adding Seasons to Chernarus

[Mr.Garibaldi 2]

I love Dayz, and i would love to see alot of changes in gameplay, BUT today as it started to snow in my hometown i had this..i think great idea^^

adding seasons into the game as im thinking would mean :

- graphic changes..altough i still havent discovered all of chernarus, its getting pretty boring, so i think it would be great to have for example a winter chernarus

- seasons could be switched weekly or every two weeks..daily would be too much.

- every season would add, beneath the graphic changes like snow, falling leaves or sunshine the whole day, specific changes to both player and game mechanics

-Winter:- players leave footsteps in the snow that would last for an hour or 30 min or sth..it would make it much more dangerous to walk around in cities

- body temperature would drop much faster, which would make the use of heatpacks..well useful..atm i dont use them even if i have a sniper rifle

- a little less zombie spawns, cause alot of them would freeze..realistic

-Summer: - most of the time, good weather..not like now every two hours it starts to rain..also the nights would be much more often clear and full moon..making it easier to raid during the night

- due to the good weather, players would have to drink more often, making long distance walks more difficult..as it should be during a hot season

- Autumn : -fallen leaves on the ground make footsteps much more louder

-its raining almost the whole day

-Spring: - would be a mixture..almost the same like chernarus is now.

that is just a thought that i had a couple of minutes ago..i would be glad if anyone would like/ or can add more features :)

and sry for the bad english :)

Did you use search before you posted...? And it's not possible in real time like everyone imagines.

I'd like to see seasons, however I think it's not necessarry. Also, as Enforcer said, it's most likley not possible with Real-Time.

Has been suggested before. Search is your friend, my friend.

Personally I'd like to see seasons as well.

Well DayZ runs on real-time, so seasons would be real-time too, beyond a doubt.

Real time is different from real time environment. I don't know of a shooter that supports such a feature, correct me if i'm wrong. it is either already snowing and the landscape "changed" after loading it was already that way. If you really wanted real time environment you need a NASA computer.
