SleeperZ 52 Posted June 16, 2023 Being wet from rain should not only add weight but also make you hypothermic and lose health, currently you lose a bit of stam and your temp icon goes from white to light blue which essentially means nothing. If you take this idea please dont add another icon for hypothermia we have enough of those already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Zod 1118 Posted June 16, 2023 While realistic depending on the time of the year, considering how much it rains in chernarus and that the waterproof clothing doesn't really work, forcing players to sit in a building or a tent every time it rains will slow the game too much. It's slow as it is with the limited stamina not need to turn it into a standstill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riddick_2K 174 Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) There's no such only thing as black or white... Perhaps, in DayZ, it would be better to fix the game, at least on these "simple" things where it's "easy" to do: *) - Making clothes that "should" be truly waterproof (this is elementary, you just need to want it !!!) *) - Add waterproof nylon ponchos (waterproof but cold) that can be added on top of everything, jackets, backpacks, hats, etc... as in reality. These may get humid underneath from perspiration *) - Add (or modify the already existing jackets) warm and waterproof jackets, like in reality (padded and in goretex or these other new breathable and waterproof materials). These should remain completely dry, as they are waterproof and breathable All of this isn't difficult, it doesn't even require new animations, just some scripting and some new textures. Why, in your opinion, they don't do it... why aren't they capable of it? I do not think so. Follow the "patch historian" and notice the deliberate choices they've often made, all aimed at making this game more and more absurdly unrealistic and "arcade"...well, I think this is the real reason: they DON'T want to do it. Why ? Well, this would have to be discussed at length, it's something that I've been wondering for years now, but not knowing the programmers and their managers personally, the only thing that comes to mind is that: either they hate the game and/or the players (and they enjoy screwing up the game), or they just don't care and do things as they happen. I just don't see other reasons for certain choices... I keep repeating: luckily there are mods and personal servers. 🙄 Edited June 18, 2023 by Riddick_2K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LennyS-cbe65eb8a29b70ab 11 Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I dont think its all too realistic if you would get hypothermia from rain everytime. Imagine you being outside (not in winter) and you wear wet clothes...... you would get cold.... really cold.... but would you die from it? NO. You would get sick.... just like it is now. Servers can set the current "month" and by that, dictate the outside temperature. Some servers are warmer, and some are colder. When the server is set to "winter" you will get so cold, that you get hypothermia. When its set to "spring/fall" you will most likely get a cold/flu when running around with wet clothes. When its set to "summer" nothing really happens. Its pretty realistic in that sense. It all depends on the server you are playing. If you feel like you want to die, as soon as you get wet.... try namalsk/winterchernarus or any hardcore server, they typically are very cold aswell. 😉 Edited June 19, 2023 by LennyS-cbe65eb8a29b70ab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
