Bite The Hand 13 Posted November 25, 2018 I searched for this, although not finding anything im sure its been suggested many times. I mean it has to have been. it seems so silly of me that you could play this game and never say to yourself, "hey, why the hell am i only wearing a raincoat? who the hell wears just a raincoat." and not say something, but here goes nothing: Make raincoats vest equippable instead of shirt equip. it only makes sense. dayz is aiming high for realism, seems kind of a big oversight to not realize raincoats go above clothing and arent worn as clothing(ya know?). I mean, do you throw your slicker on with no shirt?...weirdo... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parazight 1599 Posted November 25, 2018 See, DayZ isn't really aiming high for realism at all. The goal is authenticity. Because it's a video game and requires a design approach as such. If it were aiming for true realism, there wouldn't be infected. It would take months, not minutes to grow crops. You wouldn't be able to craft a rope out of 12 rags in 7 seconds, etc. There's no oversight. The developers are aware of this. There's always some combination of design and programming limitations. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having crops grow in realtime or slowing down user actions such as crafting to be accurate to realtime is hardly the same as having multiple layers of clothing . I'm not a programmer but it seems to be possible, as the developers of game "SCUM" have implemented several clothing layers into their game. Having several clothing layers would also add to authenticity. I haven't seen the devs denying this idea either btw. However in my opinion there are currently far more pressing issues than this and so I believe it's something that could be taken a look at POST 1.0 Here is a suggestion of mine that falls into the same category of POST 1.0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMT 3190 Posted December 8, 2018 The developers have touched on this subject a long time ago and the reason we won't see any raincoats or rainproof overalls is because of clipping issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parazight 1599 Posted December 13, 2018 Maybe just replace the graphic to raincoat and put it in the belt slot? The benefit is you become waterproof but downside is that it's bulky/shiny/heavy. Avoid clipping altogether. IMO 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
