DemonGroover 8836 Posted January 2, 2014 I don't believe there will be a timer, rather perhaps an icon that tells you if you are thirsty etc or not. The old system, whereby you just waited for the food/thirst icon to flash, was flawed in that you knew you didn't have to worry until it flashed. At least this way just drinking a can of soda wont quench your thirst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imbalanxd 59 Posted January 2, 2014 ITC some douche being a douche cos a douche. I'm not ignoring the answer because IT'S NOT RELATED TO THE QUESTION I'M ASKING.# ffs.,. If you drink to 100% water capacity, you will be able to sprint, none stop, for about 45 minutes.That is all that needs to be said. If you find that you cannot do this, and that your thirst/hunger kicks in before this time, then you simply have not drank/eaten to 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) yeah but you're all missing what I'm saying.I eat and drink in game till my hunger/thirst things are gone right... now in the real world. 5 mins of running does NOT make you hungry or even particularly thirsty...and you certainly wouldn't die from starvation in the length of time you do in game... I think I ran for 10 mins and I got a "Dying of starvation" warning. now. in the real world that just isn't going to happen is it. I think the rate at which your thirst and hunger ramps up and becomes a problem...is far too short.. I'm not bitching about the mechanics of health etc so linking that video was pointless.. I'm simply saying that you shouldn't need to eat every houror drink every 10 mins.. You don't get it. When you spawn, you're pretty dehydrated and because of that, the game ensures that you have a motivation for begin your fight for survival. However you don't get hydrated by drinking a single can of soda or a quarter can of beans. Your stomach can contain 4000 milliliters, your body can contain 4-5000 milliliters fluid and you body can store 20000 units of energy in your muscles and fat. So in order to become hydrated and well fed, you actually have fill your stomach with water(not just 1 little can) and then absorb the water into your system. This is your only priority as a fresh spawn. After you've hydrated, you need to worry about energy and start filling your stomach with food and process that food into energy. This is not about opinions, you can either learn these pretty basic gameplay mechanincs or you can continue to complain about mechanics you don't fully understand. We're actually trying to help you here, but if you refuse to listen, well... then go ahead and stress about getting the same thirst and hunger warnings over and over again. Me, I eat ahead of my hunger and when I eat, I eat a can or two and then I don't worry about eating for an hour or two. Stop snacking and start eating.
