Clouds direction
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

As you might know clouds in dayz always have constant direction (South-East, Livonia 100%, not sure about Chernarus). That makes compass and recently added GPS pointless. I'm pretty sure that players who have 100+ hours in the game are more/less familiar with the territory, so the only thing they require to navigate is compass. And players who are new to the game will be happy to use GPS, or just map and compass. Veteran players can easy find south direction by the sun position, so that is already natural cheat, but you still have to now the time of the day. But constant cloud direction ruins it all, you just look at the sky, aha, clouds go there, a little bit to the right, bam!, south in there. That kinda ruins survival aspect of the game. No need to make something fancy, just make the directions random, not just one and constant.
