Wring Your Gloves

Recommended Posts

Why?

gloves don’t wring out very well in real life anyway.   If you put them on the floor by a fireplace it literally takes 5 seconds to dry completely. In fact, drying clothes on the floor near a fire is probably overpowered right now.

True, but if they are "soaked" you should be able to squeeze out some water at least.

I also find it weird that there are no civilian gloves in the game.

Working gloves and surgical gloves are not military issue.

But @Parazight!  The casuals don't have attention spans longer than that.  That's why they are on their phones constantly swiping up on Tic Tok, they are conditioned for this type of gameplay.  it's important, that's what DayZ is all about now.  Don't say anything to the contrary or the mean ol mods here may take offense.

I meant actually civilian (like winter wool gloves) and not working or medical gloves. I would be surprised that nobody has any gloves but they have so many hats and ushankas.

It would just be good to be able to. As Defective Water said, you should be able to get some water out of them if they are soaked. Sometimes it's not convenient to stop and make a fire. Especially at night. You might just wanna get out of the rain by sitting in a shed somewhere in the middle of nowhere, wring out your clothes and wait it out. Just a thought.

Yes.  Maybe you're right. Players DO need something to do while they wait out the rain and dark nights.

That's been one of my issues of long dark nights that are in vanilla, and it's clearly affecting a lot of people too. Once night starts, the server pop just plummets.

I really like the idea of dark nights, but they don't offer much in terms of gameplay. New players especially will get completely lost in the night.
Nights are a huge part of DayZ gameplay loop, but vanilla dark nights (that last an hour might I add) are just uninspiring and flawed.

So what would you change to nights to make them less flawed and inspiring?

I'm not a dev so idk. Players leaving just because it's night time isn't good for the game.

That has been a thing for a long time.  We combat that by putting up one or two strategic street lamps in early tier 1 and 2 towns and increased the number of flash lights and glow sticks in those areas as well.  Solved that problem.
