Ello, so something I really love with the most recent 1.22 update is the strive in the direction of more civilian clothing, and also the rebalancing of the backpacks in terms of the CLE. Very very nice change and one that has been needed for a while I think.
I think you guys should consider the same treatment for military clothing in game. For many years now, military clothing has always been the go-to in dayz. It's just simply very easy to find and the combination of inventory slots / hotbar slots given from military clothing just makes it some of the best gear to wear in game.
The only other clothing that can somewhat compete with military is hunter clothing. The vast majority of civilian clothing in game is just completely over looked as being just somewhat useless ground loot. The stuff that you pick up just until you can get to a military area and grab some better stuff.
The main reasons I think this is bad for DayZ comes down to mostly cosmetics but also game balance. In terms of cosmetics, in my opinion it is WAY cooler to see people dressing up with the cool civilian clothing, it feels more real and immersive and it provides so much more uniqueness and soul to the characters rather than everyone just being a military giga - chad all the time.
Also just in terms of game balance I think military clothing makes it way too easy to obtain a very high amount of inventory slots very easily.
I would suggest :
- A decrease in the amount of military clothing that spawns across the board
- A rebalance to their spawn points within the world (perhaps push the good stuff more into higher tiers)
- A reduction in inventory slots. For example most military clothing can hold 42 slots, even if this number was reduced down to 30 I think that would be a great change
Thanks for reading, have a good day <3
