LeOverlord 150 Posted July 29, 2012 I'm a pretty big fan of customization...Don't really care how that portrays me...I believe this mod could be much more enjoyable if more skins were added in...NOTE: I would rather see more important fixes first, such as combat logging and a way to combat the onslaught of hackers/scripters... But I digress...So I went looking around on ArmaHolic...Great site, they did awesome work on getting visuals of just about every item in Arma2 and Op Arrowhead...http://www.armatechsquad.com/ ...So I looked through and found a few, well quite a few skins, that I believe would be nice to have in DayZ...I focused on, lighter, skins...Ones with as little gear and such hanging on the body, although some have a bit on them...Obviously the Dev team would have to work with them to make sure they would work with backpacks and weapons...Also the clothing spawns should be moved...USMC, Russian, CDF, and the German skin should only be obtained through crashed helicopters and military loot spawns...The guerrilla and insurgent skins should be obtained only at residential and hunting stands...This would allow players to become more involved with their character, as well as distinguish possible friendlies and randoms...Here are some skins I think could be added without seeming out of place...That last one look familiar..? B)Here is a link to the imgur album...http://imgur.com/a/xKl15#0But, that's just my opinion... What do y'all think..? 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathunt 10 Posted July 29, 2012 I would love to see customization in this game. NOTE: I don't really care about those combat loggers, etc. As long as I play the way I play it's hard to battle me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cRAsh_MiLoS 0 Posted July 29, 2012 I would love if they could add the Bandit Skin, and some other skins like the FR_AC, FR_Cooper, FR_Ohara & GUE_Soldier_3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeOverlord 150 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) How do you get the bandit skin in game?You must be new here...There used to be a humanity system implemented in game...If you murdered too many people your humanity would drop...At a certain level you get the, "Bandit" skin...A.k.a. GER_Soldier_EP1...Was removed for the time being...To be reworked and re-implemented at a later date... Edited July 30, 2012 by LeOverlord Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim7 6 Posted July 30, 2012 +1. I don't care what that makes either of us, I love cosmetic customization, too.The camo variety would be nice and practical, but I'd like a little variety to civ clothes, too. Even better if you can get clothes for practical effects, like a jacket for cold/rain preserving body temperature better. You could carry around a couple of sets of clothes, camo for day/grass, black/dark civ clothes for night. Seems a no-brainer for survival as much as "bigger, better gun." I personally think bigger, better gun makes one a target, at least as a loner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordRayken 30 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Rocket has already said he wants to incorporate clothing into the game.He can just incorporate unique skins by adding packs of clothing rather than single clothing items.That GUE Commander skin is epic.

Zom Killer Colin 1 Posted July 31, 2012 This is a copy and past from what I contacted the team about... tell me what you guys think cause this may be a better idea then just adding skins (no offense). Player killing may go down so we can all hope my master plan makes a mark is the DAY Z world... also tell me if their should be more occupations or changes to the ones I already put up... also put pics of how you think they should look... the future of DAY Z is no only in the hands of the makers but also in the hands of the players. :)While pondering about a way to stop or minimize player killing in DAY Z that I came up with is to have new skins/occupations... you know when you pick male or female... put another thing after were you pick occupation, such as police officer... now each occupation has a slight difference then the rest of the occupations... I'll start off with thePolice Officer/Local Armed Forces- Spawn with the original revolver instead of pistol, but he is de-faulty more detectable because of his blue gearFire Fighter- Spawn with the next best backpack, giving them the option to carry more things at the start- what's a few more beans gonna hurt? you die so fast it's just more loot for the looter and only a slight advantage...Paramedic- Spawn with (as many bloods as you want), and (as many pain pills as you want)(I recommend 1 blood and 1 pain so they aren't to advantaged), but start out with a few less bloods... who do you give blood to is your choice... you might make more friends if you play your blood right...Military- Spawn with the choice of a rifle or shotgun depending on which they clicked for...(you could work that in)... and take slightly longer before food and water need be consumed...(doesn't have to be really long just maybe 15 minutes more so they don't have a big advantage over anyone else)Special Forces- Spawn with they choice of a sniper rifle or... night vision goggles...(see in day or night its your choice)... they do not spawn with a flash light unlike everyone else so its their pick... and they also come with a gillie suit as well as a black SAS uniform...Pilot- Spawn with all the parts needed to get a helicopter to fly...(not look good just make it fly)... but their backpack can only be used to carry vehicle parts and nothing else, therefore they have a disadvantage... and the backpack carries all the parts so you'll need to add extra spaces to the backpack so it can fit all of the parts...Civilian- Default everything, nothing to change about the civilian other then maybe add a few more looks...The reason all this stuff would be good is because it makes sense... if your a cop you'll have a better gun am I right? if your a fire fighter you carry a big thing on your back all day. and if your military you have bigger guns, would you not?... and it will cut back on player killing making it more about survival and zombies... everyone will have something to gain from teaming up instead of just killing people for supplies... you could put this on forum and do a vote or something but I think you should add this stuff...

Grim7 6 Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I like the gist of choosing an occupation that determines initial goodies and outfit, but we should still definitely have skins. (edit: lootable, obtainable skins of camo, other clothes, etc)But NO military starter pack. Who would choose anything else? It would make the game more of a PVP deathmatch from the get-go.Instead, small advantages, with base civilian being the most "balanced."Civilian: base stuff + matches (why not? Could be a smoker, and helps get started). A watch. Maybe randomize another tool or something, perhaps randomly low chance to have a weapon to account for casual gun owner/concealed carry.Cop: Revolver or maybe instead a Makarov and 1 clip, maybe 2. Nothing else.Survivalist/Hunter: Hunting knife, perhaps hatchet or one other "decent" thing. Maybe sometimes a map.Medical Professional: More bandages, painkillers, blood bag or two. No weapons or tools.Mechanic: Toolbox.Stuff like that. Edited July 31, 2012 by Grim7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIGHTLY 87 Posted July 31, 2012 Those civilian clothes should be really common loot in residential places. I personally hate how EVERYONE has the same friggen hat and vest on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hkurban 31 Posted July 31, 2012 Those civilian clothes should be really common loot in residential places. I personally hate how EVERYONE has the same friggen hat and vest on.This. I tried getting revenge on a pair of bandits once (back when we all spawned with Makarovs), but for all I know, I might have taken out a survivor who had finished them off for me, simply because there was no way to tell them apart. Warlord skin is definitely one of my favorites, especially for this kind of mod. There are a lot of great skins out there that would be interesting. A problem I've run into though, is that some of the skins have forced faces, such as the civilian doctor, the school teacher, the functionaries (business suit guys) and the A2 single player protagonists (Cooper, Ohara, etc.), so as soon as you'd don these skins, you'd lose your character's custom face. There are workarounds for the Force Recon characters, since many of them have "generic" versions with the same outfits, but much to my disappointment I've been unable to get a single guy in a suit without a black toupe, and I've been unable to get a doctor in game without that mass of white hair.

hombrecz 832 Posted July 31, 2012 I think most of players want more skins, or even way to change separately your pants, jacket and head gear to allow more customisation.That would probably require DayZ be standalone though.Anyway would be lovely to have more skins and I dont think it would be that hard to add them since they are already in Arma2+OA.
