Grimey Rick 3417 Posted March 23, 2014 As the title states, I haven't been able to find any comment on why the removal of mask/helmet went through. If it was due to clipping, the mask/helmet combination clipped no more than any of the current in-game hats such as the beret, cowboy hat, flat cap, ball cap, etc. This isn't a rant, I'm just legitimately wondering whether or not this has been commented on and if it'll be reinstated in a future patch.

I'm aware you can't, I'm more interested on whether or not the reason for removal was commented on and whether or not it's temporary or permanent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted March 23, 2014 Gear: Hard headgear (ballistic, moto, construction and pilot helmets) cannot be wear together with maskshttp://dayz.gamepedia.com/Changelog Fastest i could find Okay, :beans: for you for going through the effort of posting that. I was aware of it, but I still appreciate it. However, I'm wondering if it's been commented on by a developer WHY it was removed and IF it's going to be reinstated. Y'know, maybe there was a bug that made them remove the combination, etc. The gas mask and ballistic helmet combination actually made sense. I realize there was some clipping, but there was far less clipping than, say, with a Dallas Mask and a cowboy hat which is currently still possible in-game.

Smartsham 21 Posted March 23, 2014 Ive heard nothing about why really. The ballistic helmet and gas mask are a realistic duo, however i was wearing a clown mask with a motorcycle helmet, lol. I think this was just to do a blanket style fix, they might change it later but I've read/heard nothing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odysseus (DayZ) 43 Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I cannot understand this change. Hoping it is a technical issue and not some sort of stupid decision. Edited March 23, 2014 by Odysseus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Rocket said something about the Helmet+gas Mask combo being too scarey for all these bambi's to see so they had to take it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf19891 0 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) When I removed the mask my misclicking in a haste, and not being able to put it back on, I even thought it was a bug and contacted support - then some guy I met told me it was removed on purpose with the last patch...wtf?!

Etherious 907 Posted March 27, 2014 My original character had the Gas Mask + Ballistic Mask combination even in this patch until I sadly died with it. ;-; Yea, I really miss that combo of Mask + Helmet, I too am wondering as to why it was removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdHeat 59 Posted May 7, 2014 So a few patches later and nothing has changed. I'd really like to know why they made that decision.. and of course see it reversed. It just doesn't make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted May 7, 2014 A full faced gas mask is not designed to be fitted with a ballistics helmet. Is this that hard to figure out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGT. Kalme 106 Posted May 7, 2014 A full faced gas mask is not designed to be fitted with a ballistics helmet. Is this that hard to figure out? If we are speaking of that particular gas mask then yes, it appears so from clipping issues. But overall, every military-grade gasmask is designed to be worn with helmet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Are those in game? Didn't think so. Point still stands Yes, the 3rd example is the mask in game. And I gathered your point was that you cannot use full faced gas masks with a ballistic helmet? Was I assuming too much in thinking you meant IRL... not just in-game? It seemed like that was your main point. If I am incorrect my apologies. :) Also that last example: the dude is really close to shooting his buddies foot off.. I really hope his trigger discipline is spot on. ;) Edited May 7, 2014 by lrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now thete are ones designed with the helmet but they are not in game. I'm also asumming all masks in game don't work with helmets Including the dust mask?

If you're only speaking of in game, you're correct. None of the masks were designed initially with a helmet or hat in mind. So now, none of them work with helmets/headgear as that was patched. This thread is months old in case you missed that. Someone necro'd the hell out of it for some unknown reason? So your clarifying things, and reiterating what the devs already posted about the patch and reasons why was confusing to say the least. I thought all along that you meant in real life, since the other option seemed less plausible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the M17A1 gas mask. Google it and look at all the pics with helmets associated with it... What's the problem? Edited May 7, 2014 by Mike_Hunt 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
