RAIN

[Chronic213]

Holy sweet ♥♥♥♥ does it rain a LOT in this game. Just about constantly. Just quit for the day because I'm tired of drying off just in time for more rain.

People are complaining that the wind noise is too loud... no, it isn't. It's just ALWAYS heading into or out of a rain storm, therefore its ALWAYS really windy. I managed to get about a 30 minute period with no rain today. That was it. Something needs to change (back). It wasn't like this until the last patch, Friday past. Please fix it.

I agree that it rains too damn much.

Seems like its always windy too which is kinda annoying.

This discussion has already happened... i did comment that it rains like the amazon.
It was a mixed discussion but I think they are aware

As Dicius said, we're aware of the problem and will see what can be done regarding the issue. Thanks for the feedback !

Thanks for the attention. Hopefully this is addressed ASAP. I've decided to stop playing every time it rains because it's just far to excessive, and I spend all my time drying off only to be rained on almost immediately after. At least if I just don't play when it's raining I'll avoid the problem.

So far today I managed to get about one 35 min session before rain, and just had another 15 minute session before rain. This creates lots of problems. You can't have a fire in the rain, so you have to cook inside. Cooking inside means you have to leave perishable items pretty much outside so they don't spoil.

I get that there is weather in the game... that's normal, but 5+ "storms" in one game day separated by clear, sunny skies is not weather. It's misery.

I think the rain is a bit excessive currently given the lack of seasons, BUT the Adriatic coast does actually see a rainy season with rain even more frequent than what's in the game. In Montenegro (just south of HR), you'll find the rainiest point in all of Europe just off the coast - most of which falls from October to April. If seasons existed in the game, all the rain would actually be quite sensible.

I love the rain & wind especially at night walking thru the forest, it's so atmospheric, i can imagine when scarier enemys are added there will be genuine jump scares

It is really atmospheric and it definitely adds to the game... but if it was raining 20 minutes ago and stopped, maybe it should wait 3-4 real-time hours before it's allowed to rain again. Being wet adds over 5 kilos to my characters weight, so being dry means I'm far less likely to do damage to my stats by moving around while WLT is exceeded. I don't know if this is even implemented yet, but I'm sure it will be eventually... and my CON and DEX stats are almost constantly dropping (possibly weight gain). My point is, the level of metabolism detail in this game will make it INCREDIBLY difficult to manage. Right now, being dry isn't THAT big of a deal, kinda like eating raw meat. But eventually, being wet will probably make you cold, too. If we have 4+ rain storms per day and it takes 10 mins to dry off, I can foresee that being too tedious for most (including myself).

EDIT: I'm also really looking forward to those jump scares. That's what put me on to this type of game years ago. DayZ was the first game that actually made me feel real apprehension. Now SCUM has firmly taken that to another level.

Also just quit my third session of the day after about 40 minutes, Had the wind of the last storm dying off for 5 mins when I logged in, no wind and sun for 30 mins, then another rainstorm blew in. Couldn't avoid getting wet this time, so my next session will start with 10 mins of drying off before anything else, I guess.

The rain/snow cloud is also 144 square km in size. Potentially larger if it is moving like it should and not static. UGE!

There are definitely metabolism implications to the rain, but I've not found any of them insurmountable. My battle gear gains a lot more than 5kg when wet (more like 10-12), and I rarely get below -1k caloric intake...a skewer will skyrocket you outta that and then some.

Regionalizing weather on the map would be cool - i.e. it's snowing in the mountains, but bright and sunny on the coast. Given the topography of the map, this would be expected in weather patterns.

I'm standing in it right now working on my trophy fence :)

Drying off?! BAH! More Vodka!

All kidding aside, there were days living 30 miles east of San Francisco where it rained for three days straight. That was back in 1957 - 1982. I live in the southwest Sonoran Desert of Arizona now. Love the rain.

By the way Devs, when can I put a bear head on a spike? How about a deer head? A buck with it's horns?

I'm in Newfoundland. Just as foggy and wet as Ireland, so I'm not bothered by rain at all. It's the fact that I log in to sunshine, dry myself off, and by the time I'm dry, it's raining again.

Just happened AGAIN, third time today. Log in, sounds stormy but no rain. Cut some wood, made a fire, dried my stuff, stepped outside to rain. Literally 10 minutes without rain... just long enough to bother drying off.

If it's going to rain for days, let it rain for days. That's fine. Just don't space 30 minute rain storms 10 minutes apart.

Or, just don't dry off. Waste of time at this point. ;) I gave up on that and do what I want.

It's a known issue. Being wet all the time may have an effect in a future patch, but not yet.

Spoiler: It is possible that some sort of Weather Forecasting will make it into the Game. At least i found hints on this in the Game Files.
