Why is rain deadly in this game ?!

[KajFlo]

So i walk around, fully clothed, in light rain for 10 minutes. Then im "drenched" and i go into a house. 3min later im cold. I cant start a fire because of the rain outside.
3min later...now im "freezing"...its still raining.

So basically, my character will die within the next 15 minutes because he walked in light rain for 10 minutes...whats wrong with this game ?

A few patches before you did overheat after walking 10 meters and now you die if you walk around in rain for longer then a few minutes.

Seriously, why cant they make the survival aspect feel a bit more realistic ?!

When they introduced the whole hyper/hypo thing i kinda thought that all servers were set in fall tbh :) I just would love if the servers were set to seasons irl, maybe even use weather forecasts from the area in the czech republic :)

but what would you do during winter ? sit in a building and start a fire every 5 minutes ?
That sounds like a lot of fun...

You would have a harder time surviving but would not be impossible, granted spawning in the middle of nowhere on a server set to winter would be a challenge for sure.

@OP its all your fault! Sorry to say but learn to Play.

Like in real life aslong you are moving and wet you are good for some Time.
As soon you stand still and are wet you will get cold very fast, than running around will not do much.
Its like in real life. So i asume you made the wrong choices.
also if you went into a House to wait "!!! 3 minutes !!!", why not bringing sticks with you from the outside and start a fire in that house. wet sticks, wet matches , wet rags , it doesnt matter at the moment the fire will work. And 3 minutes are enough to dry and warm up nearly fully.
Your fault if you choosed the House without fireplace.

You expain how you unintentionaly made everything wrong what one person could do wrong and come here to complain :) And the Forums realy needs so many replies for this without pointing out its you OP you failed to survive. I understand that HUD indicators and some messages are missing, so the new players can understand why stuff is not working etc...(but that is planned by the Devs)

Edit: OP for us the Game is even to easy.
Edit: You are not telling us that you are talking about a hungry not warm not well eqiped weak fresh spawn in the rain.

People complain that it is boring. There will be something introduced into the game, which should change us from the usual game style, and it is not good again. The humanity becomes softer and more tender every year .... hardly a tree on the way we are overwhelmed ... LOL.
I play on the Rainserver without rainproof clothing, I have a raincoat in the backpack ... but only for lengthy experiments which are in the open field and much "try, miss, try again" need.
I leave all food lying ... only what nature has to offer is eaten. My current challenge is the search for the redberrys ... they are really hard to find, especially in the rain ^^.
And making fire is easy ... you just have to try a little under the trees. From the tribe to the east. So close to the trunk as possible and it goes.

Here you can practice: (experimental) 185.62.205.71:2502 Are you strong enough for the Fisherman's Cup?

Fight against the wild nature of the server .. do you want to let Chernarus win and die?

Now the rain is "freezing" `?

A normal, fully clothed human can certainly walk around in light rain during the fall season for a hour without freezing to death.

So what is the solution ? Log Out when it starts raining ? Great survival game.

Its seems like many players do it like this-whenever it starts raining at least 6 people leave the server.

And in the MOD People looged out or pulled the Internet Cable as soon they agroed 1 or more Infected.
They did not want other players to see the infected give away there position on the Map.
So by Whiners logic we have to get rid of all Infected in this Game?
Iam so happy that this Game isnt Developed by "Suites" because than there would be a chance they would imidietly dumb this game down to the lowest level.
Than this Game would become crap , everyone would realise its crap, and the whiners would say see this game is crap. So iam realy enjoying Brian Hicks and the Team doing there Vision and its good to know the Game got allready fundet with all those Copy Sells.

Maybe tone down your elitism a bit. I get that you want a hard, brutal and unforgiving game but there are still new players around, ever gave that a thought? You are happy with the way things are going(my self inclueded) but tbh there is no need to be a ♥♥♥♥ about it. Is the weather system perfect, hell no and will it be tweaked before release most likely a lot.

Just saying.I dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about rain even tho its ridiculous how fast you freeze to death sometimes.You shouldnt call anyone a whiner too...I mean you wanted to bann a player just because he was wearing leather cloth..xD

Dont forget iam not native English, so i dont have as much words to describe what i mean, you got more Words in your vocabulary. So excuse if my Words not always Sound fitting, no hard words ment.

But you realy apear like starters to me. (harsh word edited out)
Rain is not only Rain.
Conssider the Wind effect.
Considder the Temperature.
Considder your Clothes.
Considder your Blood Temperature when you Fresh Spawn.
Considder your Health.
Considder factors like Illness or Bloodlevel.

So yes fresh spawning on a cold rainy Server does what you describe, you die in 20 to 30 Minutes.
Plenty of time to:
Sprint and Loot, will decrease the drasticyly drop of body temperature.
Find sharp object to create a Fire. 5Sticks later you are not only dry but your Blood temperature will be high enough, to minimum run the next 30 minutes in the rain. Also higher temperature will slow down your callory usage which is allready on hungry as fresh spawn.
This simple trick allows me to get 1 or 2 Towns inland to find the loot like in the past, or it gives me the time to hunt 1 or 2 chickens pick 2 apples and maybe finding a can of food in the cars (which is not common to find so dont rely on it directly at spawn town).

Different clothes are getting wet in different time spanns, your starter shoes are wet in no time, working boots take much longer to go from damp to wet. same counts for other clothes.
you can craft heatpacks in your first fire to even increase the amount of time which you can run outside.

So for starters:
Learn to make a Fire.
Learn to craft self made Heatpacks.
Learn to find Food.
Learn to run Inlands if the Coast is to hard for you to Survive.

(harsh word edited out)

Edit: Yellow Cold, does not damage your health , it only increases the weapon shake and your callory drain which makes you starve quicker. Red kills you in around 3 minutes if you were fully health. Orange freezing iam not sure if it also cost health but at that stage your quest should allready be making a fire, if not, than dont come here complainng about dieing.

Stop whining and calling me names and stuff iam not :) Have Fun you are Welcome but stop this nonsense.

Yet you do the same your self, dont you see a problem here? Dont get me wrong appriciate the guide on how to do things but come on man step of your high horse.

[Hajami]

Thats all you can say? Not interested in the good points about rain and how to learn to Survive in the game and having fun while doing so?
Are you ok with all of my Points? Or can you point out where iam wrong?

Edit: I edited the 2 harsh words in my last post, iam sorry if i ofended someone, that was not my intention, i hope we can agree that this Topic is about the Rain.
Edit2: My English aint good enough to find the Elitism of the Post before that one. Sponge over it.

I dont call you or the other one names , iam calling an imaginary person names :).
Dont pretend to be that Person.
But iam willing to Edit all of it out of my Post, but i doubt whining People would read and try to learn they would continue to cry like children and want it dumbed down to (insert name of watered down mmo game) niveu.

Dude just stop it, calling ppl whiners/noobs and now children does not exactly bolster your arguement. Seems like you are a tad too invested in the whole thing and cant see any flaws that the game has, what is okay but if ppl have issues with a certain feature, downplaying that by calling them silly names just makes you look bad in the process.

Aaaaand now back on topic. Rain kills if you are out in the open too long.

[Hajami]

Where did you found that post of me i deleted it 5 secconds later to give you the answer you deserve. i hope we can agree that that is best for this discussion. dont let us derail it with our emotions.

edit: But i see you just repeating your frase and skipping every arguement and helping tip of the previous Post. Lets get back to them , shouldnt we?
edit2: or i just missunderstood and you said back to topic, than lets do that, i provided my part to help the OP.

Thx for giving me the answer i deserve buds you are a trooper and dont know what the do community would do without you tbh.

[Hajami]

Thank you and Whatever you say :).
So what do you think about the cross conection between all the factors i listed which influence if rain is deadly or just a nice cool down for an overheated player.
And i know thats this Features are still a work in progress.

It truely depends on what season the server is set to(if that is still a thing), can only say that i still havent seen my own breath, so would that not make me maybe assume that its not well below zero? Sure wind will be a factor but on a summerday in the rain, no so much.

And ofc its still WIP and things will be tweaked(like i mentiond prior) and dont think i ever said that i want things to be easier(if i did please point me to it) but i just want some more realism in a game that is trying go for authenticity of the real world.

But what bugs me the most is that if you find a dry pair of pants and jacket but have wet shoes after a few min you whole body will be wet, makes no sense and hope they will fix that asap.
