Rain rain.

[Flame]

So, a little quetz told me weather is coming to the isle, while im hype about the whole thing, how will it effect the game, like will hail do dmg to smaller dinosaurs, will rain make you tire out more while swiming or effect water and make it easyer to drown, and will weather effect flying creatures? if so and if they do add snow will freezeing to death be a thing also, along with a 'correct' time to start a nest with babys?

Have you ever swum in the rain in your life? ask strange questions

[Lemur]

getting damaged by rain is not a good mechanic, its highyly unlkely to be a thing- dondi has previously mentioned his hatered for similiar mechanics in day z for example; getting rain aids from being outside during a downpour isn't fun.

The most rain will likely do is make it a bit harder to hear heavy foot falls and see things due to rain visuals and thunderstorm noise- or make it easier for you to hunt depending on which side of the fence in this scenario you stand.

[rustyOkin]

actually those mechanics in dayz are making the environment more challenging and more interesting!
On The Isle though i agree it would be pretty annoying for dinosaurs do deal with that, for humans on the other hand i think it could be a nice feature. Imagine being forced to make a campfire so you don't freeze to death, then carnivores spot the light/smoke and the hunt is on :)

Also, puddles from the rain might be drinkable for smaller creatures.

And hail probably wouldn't damage anything bigger than a taco really, unless it's absurdly large

[Dimitris]

chompa you are insulting the guy that made the post and thats not allowd
also has anyone ever gotten hit by hail it would deal dmg to anythink smaller than cerato easily and also swimming while its raining (not any hardcore weather) is actually fun

Not everyone on this planet has English as their first language. Racism of any kind won't be tolerated here.

I'd have to agree, I've seen quarter-sized hail crack windshields before so I think it would be safe to say dinos would take at least a little damage depending on their size.

it would make the game boring to have to wait out any storms as any creature, maybe with the exception of humans. Imagine you're an austro and you just wanna walk around and boOm oh no a sToRm. You gotta sit under a tree for like 30 minutes or stay inside of a cave and risk being mauled by cannibals. It would make the game even more unforgiving to the small creatures.

I mean, yeah, but that would be pretty much like real life. And add to the hardcore Survival aspect. Even weather can actually kill you. But I get what you're saying about it being boring and frustrating too. I could go either way, I think there’s pros and cons to both in that situation.

I guess it depends on players. I've already been in that situation on Beasts of bermuda. Was a raptor and because it started raining. I had to find a cave to wait out the storm. You take damage in the rain. I guess Rain and their feathers weren't compatitble. But me and my sister waited it out, worried whether or not if the water would rise through the caves, forcing us out, or the fire that had just started by the lightning strikes would push us further in the cave. It added a more danger element to the game that i enjoyed. Which rn the isle sadly doesn't.

I'm hoping more mechanics for the isle are added soon. New dinosaurs can wait until later. I'm getting pretty tired of waiting for mechanics that were announced a year ago and still haven't arrived. Like Corpse carrying or dragging. I'm so close rn at modding the game to allow Parents to regurgitate food at their nests for your offspring to eat. So pressing a button will place a mesh of mushed up meat on the floor.

[Dimitris]

yea mechanics are way more important but people dont understand it

[! Murciee ♥]

I also could have it either way. I kinda think hail damage to small animals would make their life much more annoying than it already is, and we all know how hard being something Dilo-size or harder is.
Then again, I have seen hail completely DESTROY things, even tough metal!
So, it has its pros and cons, and I think that it SHOULD be in the game, but the damage would be slight. I think anything Bary size and under should feel the damage, Bary would hardly feel it but say a Austro or Utah would feel it noticably and concernably.

[Dimitris]

well i think it would make small animals lifes more anoying it would make it a little harder and dont forget a stromp with hail will be kinda rare too also with the new map comming and survival if you are small you wont have much problem hidding and even if you die you would grow up quit fast to

So do it? That was pretty much the reason they made the big push for mods so early on. If someone does something they deem useful for the game, they might even pay that person to add their content to the regular version.

rn souretsu i'm working on getting Amphicoelias working in unreal engine first. Been itching for more sauropods, so i might make quite a few if, amphicoelias decides to be a success at adding it into the game. Then there's offspring version of them as well that needs doing. Unlike the dev team, It's 1 person working on this mod. I might get lucky enough for my sister to do some skins on her computer but that's about it. I'm doing the modelling, Rigging, Designing skins, Animating and then trying to code it into unreal for it to work. So sadly i don't have time to work on other game mechanics until i've sorted this one out.
