Can we either have a static clothing color or be allowed to select the color permanently?

Recommended Posts

As of now, clothing color is client side, and it changes every time you log in.

That means if I happen to see myself wearing the all black clothing/armor with dark green pants, someone else can see me in a bright white shirt and blue pants.

This affects the ability to use camoflague/concealment properly. If I'm in black and green and get in a green bush, then I think I'm safer than usual, but someone else that sees me in the white shirt through the bush because it stands out so badly completely negates my choice for concealment based on what I'm wearing, because it's not what THEY see me wearing.

So to this end, can we either have a selection when we spawn a new character as to which color scheme we can wear? Or alternatively, since 99% of the people are going to choose the black/green combination, can that just be made the default for the reasons I explained above?

Or lastly, can all of the camo clothing simply be switched to different, dark color schemes of black, brown, dark green, dark grey, dark tan, etc...?

Thanks,

-Jester

Ehh, the game already looks too much the same all around anyways, just find a different skin laying around.

Yes good point now i remember what i forgot to wite about in the forum.

Clothing doesn't seem to be synched or rather because servers always create a character for you. I bet it would be easy to save the information on your last clothing in some way. But that would have players spawn over and over again until they get the desired clothing unless you limit it so they spawn with that particular type of gear for a certain amount of time to disrupt exploiting.

I agree with this!

It can be very annoying thinking you are wearing one color when in reality you are something completely different.

If its possible to save cammo's etc. Then being able to save or choose your survivors shirt color and have it saved to the DB shouldn't be hard to do.
