Storm's comin'

So here I am again to give another suggestion... :D

Who here played Hard Rain in L4D2?

In this part of the game (once you've already collected the gas), you'd be heading back to the starting point and whilst doing this, random lightning flashes will indicate a downpour and will summon a horde against the survivors.

I brought this up because I think it would be a great idea for the survivors to be forced to get shelter and defend it as long as they can. The rarity of a downpour in DayZ will make this somehow balanced and this will make the game a bit harder when it's raining hard.

For example, in DayZ, it's raining and you're with a friend and you're both looting Cherno then lightning flashes across the sky followed by loud crashes of thunder, this would signal both of you to take shelter as fog thickens and the rain comes down harder, this would make the zombies' aggro distance much more farther and it'll make them much more sensitive, even if you don't move a muscle, the irritation caused by the loud sound of thunder will make them charge towards any building they see which makes your temporary shelter invaded by zombies. This will make things a little bit interesting, it's either you run blindly towards the fog or defend the house until the storm passes (which is a very hard thing to do).

I think this is about it (I think I missed something though) and thanks for reading. Keep the comments flame-free. :D

I like.

For those who enjoy the PvE aspect of the game, this is a great idea.

Personally I enjoy hunting down survivors much more, and getting involved in massive clan battles. But very nice idea.

Isn't that what happens every time you use a lee enfield in either Cherno or Elektro? :P

I feel that if it's already in L4D2 you should just play it there... Maybe I'm just being mean, but I would rather have Rocket and the boys coding me some DayZ Standalone.

Thanks for the support. I do think this will affect both PVP and PVE players alike as it will force players to make a decision of whether to run or defend a place for a temporary amount of time and both choices have their own risks.

I like it, actually.

P.s.

Anyone else think hard rain is the hardest campaign on VS mode?

good idea!
