Why a Ghillie Suit?
When you can simply put view distance on the lowest setting and see everyone long before terrain renders?

Because sometimes those things aren't rendered ( literally ) completely useless by graphics settings?

Camo isnt the point, being heat resistant is.

Yeah, and how much difference is camo going to make anyway?

Thus, HEAT Resistant being the point.

My my one can really be angry at developers for adding content that lets endgame players have something new to do

Wow good job :D



PS... you don't have to use it. It was probably more a PvE update anyways. Also I'm sure what you're whining about will be changed by the time the game actually releases anyways ;)

Yeah, my posts were dripping with saliva and hatred.

The point is that camo can't make a difference because viewing distance makes it irrelevant.

Ghillie Suits are, by design, a camo-centric outfit.

So if you can't camo anyone because your video settings render out the terrain that you're supposed to be blending into... why are you releasing camo outfits in the first place?

Why not just throw in a Fruit of the Looms t-shirt and some nice selvedge denim jeans for a heat-resistance outfit? If you're going to stand out, stand out in style.

Who knows perhaps the camo function will work on wild Dino's as well.

Yeah there's no way they could tweak the draw distance on players and dino's to match the draw distance of terrain without investing months worth the manhours.

Don't ruin my rant with sensible suggestions, please sir.

Well, the devs did speak about giving the dino's "senses"...

While it may be ♥♥♥♥ for player to player interactions, IF there was a stealth mechanic in this game (which really there should be, or it be in the works for a future patch) The Ghillie suit might actually fit it's IRL description when hunting PvE...

Those things just look hot, why they chose this suit for heat resistance is beyond me... I think it was a stupid decision, cloth clothing seems fine, I mean they could have a cooling suit that requires water to function, they do exist.... maybe have a few canteens required in it's construction...

Main issue is ghillie suits are not in the least cooling. Infact they are really very hot more akin to the fur armour set. They are heavy and hot. Not cooling. The camo is irrelevant the entire suit is stupid from a conceptual point. Ghillie suits are very very hot and not in the least cooling.

They should come up with a ghillie suit for camo and something entirely different as a cooling suit of armour one that may actually make sense.

Maybe some dino's will have "heat vision" and the ghillie suit camouflages that? this is based on the fact that the devs say they want more "senses" for dino's.
