[Standalone] Severe weather (No disasters)

[thecrystalghost 5]

I know there are similar threads but mine suggestion is different. Most people suggest tornados, hurricanes, etc.. but that's stupid.

I just want severe weather storms. Like heavy rain/snow. Thunderstorms. Blizzards. (If there are seasons..There should be seasons.)

That would add some realism to the game. Make them rare though. But cool. And add danger too. Gust of wind can knock you down. Get sick n what not.

Would be interesting.

Visibility... Freezing.. Heating up to heat stroke..

Would encourage preparing at your base with the right clothes before you move out.

sure, sure, I like this.

Yeah, I'd certainly like to see more variation in the weather - it could make for some very interesting changes in gameplay and tactics - for example, players moving in the snow are going to leave footprints.

I think rain should be common.

They're near Russia, right?

Yeah I agree, weather should be enhanced a lot, and it could change your gameplay experience a lot.

I've always liked different types of weathers, say like normal, desert and snow. No desert in Chernarus of course, but adding some snowy mountains on the north or west side of the map that has nothing currently would be awsome.

I have always thought of the weather, the thunders and lightnings now are pretty nice now, and probably even better in SA, rain of course sucks, so badly made, but still makes a big difference cause you can't see crap at night with it, so it actually fills its purpose of changing your experience. Imagine having wind storms and fog!! I've always wanted fog and don't understand how a zombie apocalypse wouldn't have it, just check this video example of the difference the fog give.

I have seen snow before in DayZ, very rare, but seen it. I think it would be nice to add a little more, but I doubt it will change what the map looks like, unless it could be easy to code or something they would do it.

A very good example for snow is the next video, notice the snow falling, the sound of the wind and how everything looks whiter, and there is no snow on the floor, its just a change of video settings or something, adding that in the game would be insane!

Having seasons change every 1-2 months would be awsome, that way playing at a different time would be a completely different experience again, I wouldn't make it real time, because many players wouldn't like specific seasons and just stop playing for whatever long it lasts.

And here another winter example:

And also with the new cloud system, weather will be awesome!

I was going to open a thread aboust this, but didn't want to repeat topics nor bump old ones, so there ya go :P

Let me know what you think
