This way the devs have more time to make the game better
Getting into water should cool down body much faster. If I got my body overheated due to physical excercises, quick cold shower do the tricks. I understand that running with couple layers of clothes and overall 30-40kg on myself is much more than excercises, but still, in SCUM I need like 30 min IRL to cool down myself in a water ( that is 2h in-game time, 2h in a cold water to cool down? )
I recommend balance that a bit more, because 30% of my current gameplay is basicly cooling down. I'm going from town to town, scavenge... before i got next place i need to cool body down. I basicly reduced sprinting to necessery minimum, most of time I run slowly or walk, yet I overheat anyway. I already threw away tactical sweater because I thought it could be a source of that but nothing changed.
I understand that running with military shirt, tactical jacket, raincoat and bulletproof vest having almost fully loaded backpack on and 2-3 weapons around ( basicly 40kg of stuff ) might be stresful for body and problematic in terms of body heat, but still. Once I put everything on me and start moving, even slowely, my temperature goes up no matter what I do, so I have to cool down my body all the time, my current gameplay pretty much is around running from one place that got lake/river close to it to another place with water around. So even if you don't feel like balancing out whole hyperheating aspect a bit, atleast make cooling body down in water noticable faster. Right now per every every 2h of gameplay I spent 30min in water to cool my body down. that's pretty much 25% of time solely doing nothing, just sitting in water and praying that server won't crash so I won't lose all my stuff that lie on the ground instead being on me. ( I've already lost some stuff due to connection issues when I had my things on the ground so I could lower body temperature ).
I undertand the concept, but I feel very unconfortable due to possibility of server crash or something similar once I'm cooling my body down, especially when it last so long.
I should undress myself, jump into a river or a lake, swim / sit around in water for 5 mins top to balance my body temperature ( that would be 20 mins of in-game time, for me 20min is plenty of time for cooling down body temperature ) and after those 5 mins I'm ready to go. That wouldn't be much a problem, but still would be realistic.
Right now it's just oddly easy to get hyperthermia and oddly slow to get rid of it. So let's balance it one way or another. Or keep current hyperthermia mechanics and make cooling down faster or keep cooling down mechanics intact but reduce body temperature increasing. But I would recommend keep current hyperthermia since it's rather realistic in therms of what you do for a specific period of time, yet sitting 2h in a cold water to cool down is unrealistic. That would probably end up in hypothermia actually, rather than simple cooling down.
I confirm, water works wonders now. You can see an instant body temp drop when you got into water. I've just played couple hours now and due to how rain and water at lakes / rivers affect body temperature I must admit that balancing body temperature now is no problem at all. Good work and thanks for that fix.
Realism is great but this decease really break the fun of the game right now + there's no HYPOtermia to make a real point about "heat management" like not wearing a TON of clothes when not needed and a ton when needed.
Still if you want an EASY solution to go arround this decease:
- cut a TON of trees like 1h of tree cutting (goal is to have a big amount of fame)
- if you have this decease then simply find a "safe" spot, go to your base, store you stuff
- suicide
- respawn where it's the best to get your things back
=> no more decease, stats aren't -50% lower, you have your skills back to normal and so on...
I'm also reading that people are being afflicted with hypothermia AND heatstroke at the same time. I hope that is just a bug.
I completly disagree. Most people playing got used to never-ending sprints and such non-senses. This is survival genre, the game in that genre supposed to being about struggel with basics. If you feel being tired from running or have a body temperature increase when you run having 5-6 layers of clothes on you wearing around 40kg of equipement a annoying mechanic, then maybe survival genre isn't for you. For me and for most people who know what survival genre is about ( this is not a battle royale ) they enjoy mechanics like that instead of being annoyed because they can't sprint all day.
If you're solution for having disease is kill yourself and respawn, I strongly suggest you find yourself other game because I believe this game gonna be more and more frustrating for you when things like parasites, malaria and other stuff gonna be implemented. There is sh*load for different medicines for huge number of diseases and I really would love to see mechanics for all of them. Why? Because it's survival game, not PUBG, not Battlefield. If you want survival experience but same time for you overheating due to running is stupid, then I have 2 tips for you:
a) simply understand what survival genre is about ( a hint: it's not about find a gun and kill people )
b) maybe find yourself other game until they implement vehicles so you can have your "survival" experience driving a car. I guess I'm survival expert driving my car to a job then.
Realism is what makes this game fun. How you can even tell that realism break the fun in survival game? What's the point of survival game then if not try to give a bit of realistic experience, as close as possible to realism.
Like I said in previous post. Hyperheating mechanic is good, it's realistic, it's 100% find and I wouldn't change it but cooling down was a bit too slow, right now it's adjusted very well and since it's obvious you'll overheat due to running with so much equiptment on you and so many clothes on you, the cooling down really feels good. You jump into lake and it works like it should, you can cool down very quick. Then you can for example eat something, rest, put everything on you and move on. It's exacly what I would do in similar situation, but you call it... stupid because it's too accurate to real life and it breaks the fun - this is pure fun dude. If that is no fun to you then you might be dissapointed even more with developement process.
Last thing to note, you can cool down below normal body temperature when in water or got caught by rain and you don't have much clothes on you. I can't confirm if there is hypothermia ( noticable lower body temperature ) but since you lose body temperature due to cold water I assume you can get HYPOTHERMIA after some time on rain or sitting in water like in lake or river. Didn't tested that yet but that's my assumption.
I also didn't tested top places in mountains so I also can't tell anything about how cold is there but I'm aiming to get into highest mountains soon.
But still, HYPERTHERMIA (higher than normal body temperature) works as it should, I love to struggle with it, that game already learned me that sprinting is reserved for times when I need to be fast, normal traveling speed is normal running and sometimes I just walk to enjoy the views ( the game is real pretty ). So yea, survival experience is real and is hell of a fun, but if you believe it's another PUBG then I understand your dissapointment. But remember that with vehicles implemented it's gonna be not that easy to get fully working vehicle ( like with good car battery, fuel and stuff like that ) and you also will have to maintaint that all the time, so it won't be simple get in and go. If you think overheating during running is stupid I believe you also will tell that refueling or repairing vehicle is stupid as well because it's realistic.
