"Shooting him in the back was probably even more satisfying for my buddy who ended his adventure on my command." You have pretty weird power fantasies don't you?

Thought about this some more and I have an idea. Maybe the temp drop can be tweaked to be a little less harsh (spending 10 to 20 mins outside and nearly freezing to death is pretty silly unless you are on the tundra or something). In addition to that how about if warming yourself by the fire has the after effect of making you immune to temperature drops for around 30 mins or so. This would have the effect of making people get a fire going every hour of game time and still have plenty of time to go raiding, gather more wood, matches, etc. It probably would encourage more teamwork as well several people could focus on gathering loot/raiding while others would focus on keeping the base camp supplied with wood. I like the idea of the temperature system but it should be something players have to keep in mind (like food/water) rather than something players have to focus ALL of their energy on.

First the obligatory amazing mod comment. I have had the more fun with this mod than most of the retail games I have paid for. But (there is always a but isn't there), I feel the temperature system needs some tweaking still. I spent a couple hours playing this evening and while it wasn't raining it was great... Then it started raining. Within 5-10 mins my temp had dropped to around 74 so I decided to camp out in a nearby warehouse. The first 5 mins or so were great. It was really tense as I crawled around and tried to shut all the doors to keep the zombie hoard out in the rain and away from me. Hearing the moans of zombies all around me and strategizing how to get out when the rain passed was neat! But here is the problem... I waited and waited and waited 20 mins later the rain still hadn't stopped and my temperature had only risen 3 degrees or so. After 20 mins it was no longer tense it was just annoying. I think this feature will only cause people to chase servers that have good weather kinda like they chase the daylight now. I think the best way to fix this would be to increase the rate you warm up in buildings. Maybe a 1 to 1 ratio would be best. If you spend 20 mins out running in the rain/cold, you have to spend 20 inside to get that heat back. This would make gameplay during bad weather more about getting to the next set of buildings and less about waiting out the weather. It would be much more fun and challenging to have the changing weather force a change in tactics rather than sending a message to the player to stop and wait/find a different server. Anyway, love the mod. Can't wait for the finished product.
