Day and Night cycle and body temperature.

[Nebulae3 422]

Well, I've experimented with military equipment like jackets and the time was about 14:05 pm in-game server time -

I ran for a brief time and found myself overheating like crazy - I thought someone was hacking and tried to kill

me with overheating, but it turned out that the body temperature in the middle of the day was hot indeed.

 

I removed the TTsKO Jacket and it helped a lot - and I cooled off fast when I waited inside a building.

However, I couldn't move outside at this time of the day without the body temperature getting dangerously high 38+ - so is this tested at all before it goes out to stable patches like 50 which I played on?

[fluxley 2228]

Only had a problem overheating in stable if i've been sprinting, overall the temperature system seems fairly well balanced right now.

I need to use a green t-shirt and put the jacket in my backpack - I'm always sprinting though. 

[fluxley 2228]

I'm always sprinting though. 

 

There's your problem. i don't think they've ever  intended for players to be sprinting all the time, it's only been that way until now because of missing features, temperature, carry weight, stamina.

 

It's time for us all to slow down.

Well, what did you expect???

If you would have done a little research and used your brain a bit to make some conclusions you would have found the answer by yourself, why such lack of intellectual independence?

Here my result:

- The average day temperature for the late summer in Prague (close to Chernarus) is between 20-25°C, so on a sunny day temperatures above 30°C are not unlikely.

- A TTsKO-Jacket is a jacket made for rainly and colder weather

- You character is probably carrying about 20 kg weight

- Your character is f***ing SPRINTING without getting tired

 

And you a seriously wondering why he is overheating?!?

If your still wondering, wait for the next summer any try it yourself ;)

Personally I think it's waste of time - not like they have 4 seasons in-game with an advance weather system.

It's fine I can sprint around in a t-shirt without any issues.

Until your next thread about freezing.......  <_<

Actually since u mention it, yes, I think Dayz standalone is a piss poor balanced game.

If you stand still more than (10-20) minutes when it rain outside u will start freezing very quick and 

your body temperature will drop fast to 35 degrees I've tested it too.

Do u think that is realistic and a great balance patch 50? 

I've other more realistic opinions - it's not properly tested - then u smartass can say it's an alpha, that's right.

In a game where you can run 100km in 10 mins, yes, that is realistic and normal.

Actually,The server date does effect the temperature, so it will be much colder during winter,

its just there's no visual representation of this in game, yet.

[Nebulae3 422]

Yeah, and that's fine, but there are some issues with temperature at the moment even when it start to get cold and when it rain for instance.

My point is it's not realistic - if they aim at that path.

Your body don't drop 2 degrees from 37 down to 35 if u stand still like (15-20) minutes when it rain.

Totally agree it still needs fine tuning, but thats probably not going to happen till beta, for now the system is pretty manageable. 

[Nebulae3 422]

Ya, true I had a good time testing it when I was scouting two bambies finding their first military loot bouncing happy about - I

start to freeze to death so I had to leave them alone, lol.  :D

They didn't see me though so I fired two shoots in the air with a sks; a sign to be careful while looting, and I sprinted north into the forest and vanished. ))

We are testing it now, exactly like we tested hypothermia, a month ago :)

 

As i see it, they intentionally ramp up the "numbers" in the function handling freezing/overheating, for us to go and play with it, so they can collect data on it and then, at a later date, start fine tuning it, when they have enough data to make it just right.

Stable doesnt mean "as close to the end product as possible" its more of a "this is the most "stable" (crashes, gamebreaking bugs, etc.) we can make the game, right now, enjoy" kind of thing hehe.

Actually since u mention it, yes, I think Dayz standalone is a piss poor balanced game.

People should stop confusing "balanced" with "built around my playstyle". Most people seem to have no idea at all what "balance" actually is.

 

And people should stop complaining about things being exactly as you would expect them when bothering to use half your brain. On a warmer autumn day you will get hot when wearing winter clothes and sprinting all the time (not to mention that sprinting all the time is far from realistic) but when standing in the rain with only a T-Shirt you will get cold very quickly.

 

Also the game aims for authenticity not necessary realism. Thats not the same here because nobody plays DayZ 24/7 - so some aspects (cooling off, warming up, healing, hunger, thirst etc.) are more authentic if you speed them up as otherwise their effect on gameplay would much lower than the effect of their real life counterparts on your life.

[Nebulae3 422]

I had full cloth when I was scouting by the way including the military jacket with full gear, but ya I see your point.

In fact we couldn't sprint long at all even without gear if it was realistic, but is't fun in this game with this huge map? (We can't move fast uphill at least.)

And some other here mention cars - so soon in Q1 2015 they will implement cars so we've other options to move around this map though.

I've a lot of spare time I can easily wait 1 hour just scouting an area near a heli crash site for example, or stay inside a barn with a campfire to roast meat for (15-30 min to cool off),

but a cautious gamer don't have that much spare time usually.

I feel like a lot of these things are just "turning the knobs" as opposed to being "broken".  Once they know the system works properly, I'm sure they can just tune things like hunger and body temp to reasonable levels.

What.

 

It totally does, mate. Are you referring to Celsius degrees? Regardless, I've developed hypothermia during the middle of a New England (AKA geology and climate almost exactly the same as Chernarus) summer, when the daytime temp was 95 degrees Farenheight. It started raining, and I finished setting up for a later activity, which ironically enough was a Wilderness Survival overnight exam. I finished within half an hour (took longer than I thought) , and I had full-blown serious hypothermia within an hour after that. Rather embarrassing, actually.

 

So, yes, you can lose body temp VERY FAST, especially when standing still.

 

I really wish people would ask the wilderness survival-trained members of the forum BEFORE they made a (usually incorrect) claim about survival......

I take the loser cruiser(public transit system) and I've been bundled up and even in only -5 Celsius, I've started shivering while standing there waiting.

[Karmaterror 982]

Does mill gear get the "wet" and "soaked" status If so that's why you are coolng off in rain so fast. Imaagine standing there in wet cloths, the windchill alone would drop your body temp 2degrees or more in less than 10-15 mins....more like 2 mins lol

 

Iv seen people shivering in a Malaysian rain forrest after a downpour and heat/humidity there are off the charts. Maybe try a raincoat instead, then ok so its cold (and you will cool off) but not like if you have wet/soaked ststus :)
