Official Servers Rain Too Frequent

[Frags4Fun]

Title says it all. The constant raining is just dumb. Who has time to deal with this except people without jobs? Why does it rain several times every in-game day? I feel like I'm constantly having to sit in a building and or build a damned fire. Please, tone down the damned rain.

Medicine , high food and water and good insulation will prevent you from getting sick,

Thanks for the tips, I know all that. I just find it very frustrating to have it rain pretty much once every hour. I played for 3 hours today and it just started raining for the 4th time so I logged.

I was frustrated earlier because I got disconnected while dealing with Zeds and when I came back I was uncon. I had full health and everything was going great before disconnecting. Came to and couldn't move. Couldn't open inventory. Notta. Logged to see if it would fix it and it booted me to the coast as a freshie. You'd think that after having the same bug since launch that these devs would have fixed that by now. Still irritated from that. Some things never change with this game. I don't mind dying from zeds if I make a mistake or if a played zonks me, but to lose everything from a bug, that burns my ass.

I quite enjoy the rain storms in this game. Very immersive. But I’ll have to agree, sometimes you just get a few bad days where it’s raining almost constantly and it gets a bit much.

I usually play very safe and most times I’ll sit inside and wait out most of a storm if I’m feeling cozy and patient. Having to wring out clothes and make a fire every 10-20 mins gets old fast. And I hate chancing-it and running around in the rain and possibly getting sick. I swear I’m the most unlucky survivor ever when it comes to hospitals and medical buildings. Someone has ALWAYS been there before me and I end up with some sweet, sweet surgical gloves. 🤭

Not true. Its sporadic and not everyday is the same.

When you are new to a game it’s best to adapt to how it works not expect it to be changed for you

The rain is your friend. Stay WELL fed and you will have no worries.

It's hackers, they can make it rain just to annoy you.

I agree they could tone it down a notch... sometimes Livonia feels like a rainforest.

Seems you are correct. I played later in the day for a few more hours and it didn't rain at all. It does rain too often, regardless.

That wouldn't surprise me.

It's almost, as if they mimicked real life, where it might rain for 3 days straight, then not rain again for 2 months, or it might rain the next day, for another 4 days straight ..

Yeah, except the DayZ devs ask for player feedback which makes you sound like a clown.

You have a solid point.

I agree, it rains way too often. Once you get decently geared, plate carrier, two guns and some minor stuff, your stamina gets absolutely annihilated once it rains. It stops for a couple minutes and you think "oh okay, let's make a fire and dry out the gear", and then it rains in the next couple of minutes. It's absolutely frustrating and only serves to making the game more tedious, not fun or engaging.

People who like the rain frequency are either masochists or are playing "vanilla"++++ with infinite/increased stamina

Several of the long time players think of the rain as great audio camouflage - the infected can't hear you as well and neither can other players. You might give WOBO's youtube about surviving the weather a look. It's certainly helped me out and I run around in the Chenarus/Livonia rain all the time.
As for me, where I live it's pretty much been drought conditions and DayZ rain literally makes me feel cooler.
