LouisK 85 Posted December 18, 2013 First of all, no, the sun is incredibly perfect and should be left like that. This is yersteday after sun rise, when it was completely out: That is incredible. Now what could be added in the future is an actual modifier for when using glasses, masks, etcetera. In a stream I remember rocket saying that bike helmets would add sound modifiers. The idea would be that wearing any type of object which goes over your eyes should have an impact on your current sight, the same way clothes affect your way of perceiving the enviroment. Wearing black aviator sunglasses should give you a darker tint on your general view, while at the same time making the effects of the sun on your sight noticeable lower. I own a pair of aviators and they truly make the enviroment darker, but the sun doesn't affect me at all, nor does any kind of reflex it created. This same concept should be applied to every other object. For example, your panoramical sight is greatly reduced when using a bike helmet, and your head is considerably heavier, the downside of using a helmet should be slightly slower head turn rate and decreased panoramical vision, while it's upside is the protection it haves. The gas mask reduces your vision slightly too. Another example could be the tactical visors, they could provide an increased reflection during dark enviroments, but they should tire your eyes and couldn't be used for long periods, and if used on the day, they would greatly damage your eyes.

shandrew82 (DayZ) 3 Posted December 18, 2013 I think Rocket was asked about this on his last stream, I think he said it would be hard to implement, but they would look into it (don't have the source so I can't give an exact quote) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly, whilst looking through the game's resources I found this, which might be an early implementation of the concept: Notice the intuitive HUD, and of course they've introduced skiing! Whoo! I hope you can fly balloons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karmaterror 982 Posted December 18, 2013 Don't see it being too hard visualy. Theres already gas masks for arma 2 that give an overlay to restrict view in 1st person. So overlays for glasses and stuff should be poss. Havent a clue on sounds though, would be cool to have everything a bit muffled when wearing a helmet :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
