New Stamina Challenge

[John]

I feel that the stamina regen is entirely out of balance, it regens entirely too fast, in my opinion it should take roughly 10 to 15 minutes to fully regen, this will make the game much much more interesting and challenging. Or, or just remove stamina completely from the game as it is completely useless.

If we could mod stamina then we could set it up the way we like.

Well, there's stamina and then there's fatigue and exhaustion. If you're healthy and fit, you can usually do short bursts of exertion for a very long time so long as you pace yourself, and that's usually what a video game means when it says 'stamina'. Same with how in most games you can jog almost indefinitely, but can only sprint for a few seconds.

Now fatigue and exhaustion is something else, and it would be cool if sleep was an actual player need, and use of stamina sped up the speed that you get tired, but we don't have that yet. What we do have, however, is that whenever you use stamina, it drains O2 and food to replenish it, so using stamina makes you run out of breath and get hungry faster.

So while a fatigue/exhaustion mechanic doesn't exist explicitly, using your stamina a lot is going to negatively impact your needs and force you to need more resources to remain healthy. In the early game when you don't have a lot of resources, this can often make using stamina extremely risky.

No thanks, i don't need that kind of iron man type game play.

I like the pacing of the game the way it is.

15 minutes of real time is over 6 hours of game time. Sitting around waiting 15 minutes for stamina wouldn't be fun.

Welp, 1/4 of the day is over, guess i can start moving again.

John, you can probably mod that in if you feel like it.

Totally was sarcasm guys. I think it should be adjustable, It has its place in PVP, but imo not as much in PVE.

Stamina is important early in PvE when you are stuck killing aliens with a starter tool in the 3rd start. Without sprinting, death is pretty much inevitable. Also useful when raiding abandoned POIs.

We could regain stamina faster legit if we could just crouch. :) This one is for Spanj

Whoever said anything about spiders? Walk backwards against an alien bug and dead... Dinos will straight up maul you as well, but they aren't as lethal as the condition stacking of the bugs.
