Random spawn gear

[BeefBacon 1185]

No, I don't want a chance to spawn with an AKM, 1,000 rounds of ammunition and a bad attitude - I'd just like to see fresh spawns spawn with random clothing.

 

The way I figure it, most players pick green jeans and a green t-shirt so as to function as basic camouflage. I'd prefer for players to spawn with random low-tier clothing such as jeans, canvas pants, tracksuits, shirts, t-shirts, puffer jackets, etc at varying conditions (no lower than damaged). They can still customise their faces/ skin colour/ etc.

 

Total storage capacity should never amount to more than 6 slots, or less than 4. Players should only spawn with their clothing (and a flashlight) never a weapon or any food items.

 

This would add more variety to fresh spawn looks while removing players' ability to cherry pick items that allow them to blend into their surroundings. It also adds to the inherent unfairness of DayZ by making one player spawn with 4 item slots and a t-shirt (for rags) while another player spawns with 6 item slots but nothing to use for a bandage. Each fresh spawn will appear as a completely different person, rather than seeing that same red t-shirt black jeans guy running into Berezino to get shot. In all, it would add to the fresh spawn experience.

 

Thoughts?

Yeah, I'd dig that.

Yeah I agree but it should only be basic clothes with low protection values and inventory space.

 

Topwear shouldn't go above two slots of space (current items: t-shirt, shirt, tracksuit jacket) and bottomwear should not go above four slots (current items: jeans, canvas pants, tracksuit pants). In general your starting gear should be low tier and generic civilian - and no other items than basic clothing (shirt, bottomwear and shoes) and a flashlight (helps when spawning at night). Though as it seems like they won't add a clothing slot for underwear I would like have some choice here (as I will probably stick with it the whole life).
