Suggestion: randomised spawn clothing sets.

[Jezza93 44]

So whilst watching a zombie apocalypse documentary called the walking dead I had an thought.

Everyone in this world has a role, a set of preferences or a uniform. So why not, in Dayz, have players spawn with random sets of clothing. We could have many times such as...

The random man! Current spawn clothing.

The builder! Hard hat,high vis jacket and canvas pants.

The policeman! Police uniform.

The office worker! Suit and tie.

The soldier! TTSKO gear,no helmet.

And you get the idea,paramedics,mechanics,chavs,convicts,waiters. There are dozens of possibilities which could really enhance the way the game is played. For example if I spawned as a cop,I'd act like one. If a convict,I'd act like one. A fast food chain worker....Well may be I wouldn't act like that one but you see what I mean.

Opinions?

Don't really know about this.  People would just kill themselves till they get TTSKO gear or some other unfair advantage.  Now if it was randomized among similar clothing (2 slot pants and no slot shirts) that'd be something else, IE track pants and a tank top or something similar.  But honestly starter clothing ins't that important as more than likely find better clothing shortly.

I don't think it should go that far. You should not be able to spawn with higher value clothes.

Randomizing between basic clothes might be possible though: Take the T-Shirt/Jeans/Athletic Shoes set as reference and randomize sets in a way that their overall utility (protection, inventory slots, crafting material) is about the same or worse (I don't think people would suicide because they were given Tracksuit pants instead of Jeans).

Would help making freshpawns more diverse without buffing their strength and add some additional uses to low tier items. Also I think starter clothe should not be pristine but randomly given a state between "worn" and "badly damaged".

I like te OP idea.

I dont like the randomness, or the highend spawns.

I say you choose, and its a base model, like barracks fatigues with 2 slot pants, police trainee uniform with 2 slot pants, you get the idea. Freshspawn versions of stuff.
