Constantly Dieing

[Vendon]

Hello I just started a new season on the winter map. Am wearing full legend tier 1 gear, have that heat stone but still am constantly losing hp till I die. That's not rlly fun to play. Because of that my gear also breaks extremely fast even when I do not take any dmg from attacks.

When you die all gear loses durability.
Also make sure your armor have cold resist too.
Raindeer is good for the beginning then use seals hide later for cold resislt.

Edit: move paragraphs around so it's not confusing

There's a temperature gauge under your minimap.
It will show you the temperature you feel in the number.

You can change the temperature you feel (surrounding temperature) by having tactical items such as heat or cold stone, air conditioner, heater, lamp or barrier. Some of these need specilization to craft. I call it "temperature you feel" because everyone will not see the same number in the same place if they don't have the exact same set up. You can also carry torch and frozen pike to help increase the temperature you feel.

You can also place your tent to survive the extreme temperature. It will gives you resistant boost and you will not die from it (HP will stop reduce from the effect at 1, I don't know if this has changed since I don't have temp issue in a long long time).

And the color on the gauge indicates if you can tolerate it or not.
If the arm is within the grey area then you're perfectly fine.
If the arm falls into the light red or light blue, that means you mildly lack heat or cold resistant respectively. Your body temperature will slowly drop until you get status effect and then you'll start losing HP.
If the arm falls into the strong red or strong blue, that means you severely lack heat or cold resistant. You will immediately start losing HP.
You can fix these with gears and foods.

All Weather Soup is currently the best food to have. It's easy to cook too. But it take water buff slot so you'll lose stamina/speed/double jump buff having this.

There will be a few type of skin/hide that offer different amount of heat or cold resistant. They only work on your Top and Bottom part.

Beware of Chaos Weaver as they will increase or decrease temperature in the wide area around it drastically. If the weather changes or you get wet, the temperature changes too.

none of what you put in matters, its -30 in the starting zone where new players are put and you die within 15 seconds. you cant hunt you cant craft you cant do ♥♥♥♥ against this terrible ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game design. The ONLY way to not die is interact with an NPC and sit at the chat menu.

This game won't survive stupid design like this. There is no way a casual or new player has any clue what any of this ♥♥♥♥ means and theres no way to know when the CW is gone and you can play again. I can't believe for a second anyone in the DEV team didn't see how stupid this was.

The devs have already stated that Ways of winter is not intended for new players.
If by the third week, the player isn't ready with gear, food, and stone, then the fault is on the players.

Plus the devs already released a map with all CW locations.

Way of Winter is not much fun!

I can only guess at how many players have left this game but I believe the number would be huge. And mostly due to these ridiculous weather dynamics. The server wipes don't help either but this game is clear on that issue.

The weather is something the player learns about the hard way.

If all else fails... Make your way down to the coast in southeast part of the Way of Winter map, even if this means making a new camp every 10 minutes as you go in that direction. This area is same temperature climate as the normal game. It has several tiers of ore so that you can establish some kind of base. The cars on the road will give you access to some of the basic salvage materials. Your goal is to unlock the recipe for the spikemato dish, make a torch, and make some of the rustic armor using reindeer hides. This will give you protection till about -35c, which should be goof enough for most places within the cold half of the map. Thermal stones will bump it up another 10 degrees.

Thanks for all the informations. I've played sooo many games and this is the 1st one where the weather system / cold / warm mechanic is so bad like in this game here. Am constantly dieing of cold in area of lvl 5-10 which is just insane. Completely wearing legendary gear and still freezing to death every view seconds although having heat stone in my inventory + eating cold resist food+ 10. It's just unreal how awfhull balanced that mechanic is.

Its unfortunate but it is expected for you to have some knowledge of the game before doing way of winter. With that said, the quality level of the gear does not matter when it comes with the weather. You need to craft your gear with the right type of hide, feathers or whatever to stave off the cold and heat. The stones and food should come after that.

The cold is a bit easier to survive. Usually just armor with cold resist is enough. The heat can require more to survive.

I personally hate the weather system in Winter. It is poorly designed and not well though out. There is much in the Winter scenario you can say the same about. After playing the winter scenario I can't wait to jump back to Manibus.

If you still have any interest in the game I would suggest going to a Manibus (PVE) or one of the PVP scenarios. They offer a much better experience than Way of Winter and do not have a hot cold mechanic.

i have i think 400 hours my friend over 500 weve both left we dont want to do manibus for the 4th time and this new CW ♥♥♥♥ is just not fun. shame really. looking forward to what the next change brings but we wont be back untill then

[Vendon]

I'll definitelly never do this winter map ever again. This weather mechanic is just the worst I ever seen. I knew that it will be like that so I went another Manibus but after my vacation, I thought ok, that system had some time now, I might try it out. Well yeah...... never gona try that thing out again.

this is 100% true, i died a lot trying to get bear skin to make a cold resistance gear set (20) eat cold resistance food (+10) and heatium in my bag (+10) in total i had 40 cold resistance but right after teleporting to a nearby location to do a quest i still died from cold in just 5-10 seconds, and even in beginner areas where there was nothing to farm my HP bar kept dropping because of lunacy

Wow that's unreal. The balancing in this game is rlly horrible when it comes to stuff like that.

I wish the game gave clearer information on stuff like this, WoW is my favorite scenario but everyone hates it because its so hard to actually get started :(

Everything is pretty jank and just existing is designed to kill you. I just drove out a while ago and one specific patch of dirt gives you 99% insanity and drops your health to one, then instantly releases you from its grip, wasting the juice or pill and Activators you just used because of another ♥♥♥♥ mechanic Lunar Oracle that artificially inflates the difficulty with no apparent extra rewards, just traps you in your house for 15 minutes. The weather mechanic is ♥♥♥♥ even in Phase 1 you need to craft/build/equip/consume 4 different things just to get your temp under control then you go a mile over and you're burning to death in your car that should have AC/heating in the first place. It's not a survival game it's a death game. I don't wanna be hand held but I also don't like dying the 100th time because the mechanics just to exist and operate in the world are overblown. Sure I'm a 70 hours newb but I know ♥♥♥♥ mechanics when I see it. Bloated disnavigable UI and constant checkboxy FOMO gacha to-do lists hidden in there too. Overall a bad experience wrapped in a beautiful package that really COULD work if they gave a damn and chopped the intensity of each and every self-destructive game function by half.

That's why I stoped playing the game. The balancing is just bad. Temps are bad, insanity is just crazy. I don't even know why you die because of cold inside your car or inside your house it's just an unbalanced game
