bigfrak 116 Posted March 20, 2014 So with the next patch you get wet.. but does this effect you at all? Like slow you down or damage cloths? And if they do how to you dry off, by going inside? i know there is no fire right now..well i think there is no fire. So does the rain just make you wet right now with no point to it? or is there more to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted March 20, 2014 I don't think it actually DOES anything, I think it was just included as a concept. They'll probably fill the "wet"/"soaked" qualities in later with some actual penalties/consequences. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demonica 311 Posted March 20, 2014 I'm always staying out of the rain just to practice what it may do later. At some point, you may become sick if you get soaked, or cold, which may even lead to hyperthermia (the latter I pulled out of my hiney, but I'm trying to think realistic survival here^^) Right now, it doesn't do anything except give you those status updates damp / wet / soaked. Just really, just for practice, see how long and strong rain lasts, hide under a tree as soon as the first drops fall, just play it on the safe side so it becomes second nature once that update hits when it actually does do something ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My character hasn't been sick since the first few days of the standalone. I keep picking up Vitamins and Antibiotics, but I never have a reason to use them.

Demonica 311 Posted March 20, 2014 Once you stay dry for about 15 minutes, you should be good to go again... When I am soaked, all I want is to start a nice widdle fire in a log cabin and sit there and listen to the thunder and rain with a nice glass of wine. Or Pipsi, for that matter :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konna 149 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) There is actually a source of fire. The portable gas one. I recall reading somewhere that it did dry off boots back a few weeks. Might try it on a jacket for example (When soaking wet/Damp indicator is active.) Edited March 20, 2014 by Konna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Demonica 311 Posted March 20, 2014 *tries out portable gas stove* Aaahhh, it's getting much warmer and more dry already... and that beautiful smell of my jacket bursting into flames after my shoes caught on fire... Wait... wha..aaaaahhhhhhhh Kill me! Kill me with Fire!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
