Clothe, a way for Dayz to make $$$

[SiGouin 25]

Ok, so i have an idea and i already know trolls will probably be posting hate msg's, but here it is:

Players should have the ability to customize the clothe they wear, choosing jeans, cargo pants, tshirts, sweat shirts, vest etc... OR just the colour of pants and shirts; the way it may work is as followed: place more clothe in loot, such as: red shirt, black jeans, purple hat, and the list goes on. two diffrent reasons for this:

1. It would be alot easier to identifie friends and foes. If colors get thrown in the game, it may very well create "unoffical" classes, for example: people who select bright orange colors choose to make them selves visible, there for they identifie themselves as friendly. Seeing a player in bright orange might incite other players to interact with him, trade, team up, ask for medical help etc...

Players dressed in darker colors such as black, brown, green (if those colors are accepted, might be a good idea to eliminate them so camo is not obsolete and leave navy blue, beige, instead. somewhere along those lines) but yeah, if players wear colors that try to hide theyre identity, people might see it more as a threat, and be cautious around these types of players.

Players in red would probably become medics etc...

2. Seeing that clans are a big deal in this game, im sure pretty sure highly organized clans would be willing to spend some money if the Dayz team decides to make like 3 diffrent types of shirts, they could maybe look like jerseys? They would have 3 diffrent colors on them, and the clan would get to choose which type of shit and the colors they want.

Then when a clan would purchase, lets say 30 shirts, each shirt would have a number from 1 to 30, so players would have # on their backs, to identifie their clan, along with a # to identifie each individual aswell. (maybe one type of shirt would have the number on the back, the other on the arms only, and the third have none at all?)

Not sure what the possibilities are on how a player would recieve the clans clothe, but one may be that the developpers send the client a scrpit, that the clan leader will recieve and enter in theyre server, and upon restart a tent will spawn somewhere (at a designated coordenate) and it will have 30 diffrent types of clothe.

That COULD be one way of doing it... the other way would be for the stand alone version of the game to have it directly built in.

But this would be a good idea to also add in hats, helmets and other head wear.

If a player purchases his clan clothing, it would have to remain in his inventory even after he dies, only way he can change clothe is by discarding his uniform, or wearing other clothe instead.

This might sound too complicated for an alpha version, but just having more clothe in the game would be nice... please? :)

They are more likely to add player skins from vanilla arma before creating new skins...

I sorta proposed it in a thread of mine a little ways back...

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51531-possible-player-skin-additions-already-in-arma2-co/...

But yea simply being able to swap different shirts or pants would mean creating a brand new skin...

[jordan2412 60]

Its a fine idea. With all the graphical glitches and other issues with the game, there's too many things to be worked on first...I think this could wait till at least beta, or retail. They could do anything though, even set up a donation line if they needed money, people would donate. But I don't think moneys as much of an issue now since Rocket works at Bohemia and should have access to more resources as they want him to continue the mod, since its getting them a ton of sales on ARMA II

I had a similar one... I'm not as interested in more military outfits like you are, but I love a lot of the civilian "rocker, worker, etc" outfits. I think it would be more interesting if you had a chance to spawn in jeans and a t-shirt, or a suit and tie, or construction workers clothes. Women would have more options too, like the worker, villager and secretary skins. Not sure how I feel about the prostitute ones, those would lead to some odd interactions.

I really don't like some, well most, of the civilian skins...

I did go on to post a few civilian outfits I liked later on in my thread...

Primarily ones with some sort of camo or darker color scheme...

Really don't want to stick out like a sore thumb in the grasslands...

That was another reason why I avoided posting skins from Op Arrowhead...

They are all primarily desert camo...

Not much use in the forests of Chernarus...

For the that is the whole point of finding Cammo... I think everyone should start looking like a civilian and have to work their way up to be stealthy. It creates an incentive and moves the game further away from the "military sim" heritage it comes from.

I think they should incorporate the skins already in the game as well. Make the civilian ones about at common as the current cammo/ghillie. Make the cammo really hard to find, and make the ghille incredibly rare.

It's amazing that peoples actually "beg" for the whole nickel and diming thing.

Yup, exactly...

And on the note of making the ghillie rare I agree 100%, a more common version could be the half ghillie..!

I think its less begging...

And more comparing to similar systems already in place that offer extra player customization...

E.g. TF2, BF Heros, BF Play4Free, and almost any other web based game...

Yeah but do we really want to encourage more games to lazy designs like that? I know it keeps the games free but i dunno about you but i can still pay a full game now and then.

No I agree it is lazy on developers part, and ridiculous as well...

And I hope DayZ never comes to being anything like the above for mentioned games...

I was simply playing devils advocate and protecting the member with less posts...

'Cause I'm a G like that...

A gentlemen that is...

Why are we spawned on beach with PMC outfit anyway?We should have the stuff the zombies are wearing LOL.Imagine your buddy spawning with the priest skin and having to find the PMC skin somewhere.

Bandit in a priest skin would be brilliant.

Closest generic body that look like rugged civies. The alternative is short and hawaïan shirt.

Close enough..?

[wolfstriked 143]

Yep random skins would add fun factor and look more realistic too.And then finding better wilderness survival type outfits would be great find but as pointed out....a bandit in a priest skin would rule! And shorts and Hawaiian shirt is awesome.
