Congrats you beat the game

When I first heard this song I could have sworn he wrote this about the game. Such a tune.

I'm 95% sure that's where you are because that's where my area of operation is, and I know that part of the map really well.

Welcome to my world. Train station is just north of Gvodzno.

Congrats you won the game

I love the Winchester sound. Just hearing the "Phwump" gets me all excited.

No. You should absolutely fear death. Nothing that makes death easier to take should be added. Don't like spawning away from friends? Easy, don't die. Don't want to lose your stuff? Don't die.

I find the mechanic interesting but flawed. It certainly affects my game play in such a way that if it's raining, I need to stay indoors. Yesterday my friends and I were holed up in a building for over two hours waiting for the rain to pass. While it was interesting making small talk and making sure our defenses were sound...I found the effect to be a little extreme. I've found that my character can't stand five minutes in the rain before running the risk of hypothermia. I find that to be a highly flawed mechanic as it literally limits my options completely to 1)Go Indoors 2)Build a Fire or 3) Get sick. While finding shelter is realistic I notice that some buildings or areas of buildings fail to prevent the loss of temperature such as the bathrooms in the barracks. It further limits my options. I have also heard that the rain will put out your fire...I'm not keen on wasting my wood on that. As for number three...being cold and wet shouldn't give me an illness. I've worked on crab boats, I know what cold and wet feels like and if this mechanic reflected reality I would be dead ten times over. I feel a better way to introduce illness and temperature would be to split the two. Body warmth should be set to 98.6 and would only go down after 1)extended lengths of time swimming 2)hours in the rain instead of mere minutes and 3)extreme blood loss. Temperature may go up to fight off a "fever" that was caught off other players and infected meat/water. Medicine and water should help lower the fever. I think that the temperature shouldn't play such a prominent role...but perhaps just an enhancer to your current state. If I'm perfectly healthy and robust...a little rain isn't going to bother me. But if I'm severely wounded and starving, struggling to make it to the next town...a cold rain may just be soul destroying. And on the topic of rain...how about it filling up our water bottles after a minute or so?

I hear LA Noire is a pretty good game.

It's a myth that cold weather causes you to catch a cold...

It's alright guys just play after 9pm when it's past his bedtime.

Finally a thread I feel absolutely compelled to respond. I have to thank rocket for creating something that for years I have been searching for. It's hard to describe exactly what type of game I've been dreaming about, but I feel a connection to this game like no other. I always had the belief that if I wanted to make my perfect game I'd have to do it myself...I just never had the know how. A true virtual reality, there are no rules. I have killed thousands and thousands of players and have died thousands of times since I've started video games yet this is the only game that makes me truly value each life and death experience. This game connects deeper than any other game, I truly feel feelings here where in other games it's been detached. And that is what draws me to this game, I could care less about bugs or imperfections...it's not what I'm here for. It doesn't distract me from the experience. And for someone to put so much energy into this project...I don't know how to thank you enough.
