Seasons

Recommended Posts

Ohh how I’d love to see seasons in DayZ… does anyone know if this is at all a possibility for the future of DayZ?

I know the devs are probably not talking about something like seasons at this point in development but I can’t help but hope that one day seasons are implemented even if it seems unlikely.


Every time I get back into this game I always wander across this thought and just day dream. Wonder if this was at all in the road maps from long ago if any OGs could chime in, and also just love thinking about the prospect of seasons in DayZ so if anyone has anything to say about the topic I’d love to read it.

Well, Sumrak once said (few months ago I think) on a stream that his number 1 wish (ignoring all limitations) to have in DayZ would be seasons. But if I remember correctly, he also acknowledged that it would be insanely difficult to achieve or outright impossible in DayZ engine.

I think it would be fitting for DayZ. Would be cool too if there was a somewhat dynamic snow or at least areas with snow.

Don't get your hopes up for now. Maybe in the DayZ 2 if it ever happens (which it probably will, maybe few years after Arma 4 releases).

This is something I've always hoped for. Been thinking about it again since playing Medieval Dynasty with its changing seasons.

Winter Chernarus is beautiful.

Unfortunately the "vanilla base" version, as we all know, is what it is, luckily there are MODs that fix the game and add what is missing. Unfortunately, many servers abuse it, but it's also a matter of taste.
The situation of DayZ is this, unfortunately get over it, grit your teeth and move on... I don't see other alternatives. Find a "decent" server using this mod or open one in person and hope other players like it too.
I, in my spare time, am following the second one, and this mod is one that I would like to use... when I have also fixed the rest (without a "mall" style trader, in DayZ the objects are searched for the map!)

Wow that’s super interesting! I agree it’s probably more likely to see seasons in DayZ 2, but wow didn’t think Sumrak would even address this, that’s awesome to hear.

Right!? for some reason this game always has me daydreaming of what could be. Also was thinking of trying MD out as well.

It's not bad. The whole mechanic of building up a village is a little unappealing to me personally, but aside from that it's a pretty decent title. I've never made it through winter yet, wolves keep getting me! 

 

But some of the ideas in it would translate really well into dayz

The Intenz server has seasons. Although at the moment it's limited to just three. Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Winter is an absolute nightmare.

The problem is that in order to change the season there needs to be a complete wipe. That means your character, and you have to carefully nurse a toon on this server, gets whacked. Some people aren't going to like that, because the server is very difficult. At the moment on Intenz, it's Summer.
