Stamina Issues

Recommended Posts

Suggestion for stamina. The system is out of whack given items carried and amount of stamina/movement drained from the player. I had an M4, full military clothing to include tactical backpack. Only half full slots, only a few mags, handful of apples and pears, maybe 7, radio, tape, an extra pouch, a couple sodas and a few bottles of water, and 4 loose boxes of ammo. 

You would think I was humping a ruck with 600 rounds of ammo, and a spare MG barrel while carrying a heavy MG. I am unable to even get over short fences, forcing me to walk around as if in a maze, unable to avoid pockets of zombies that still seem to glitch around, as in they are in one place, then sprout from the ground next to me. 

I very much like the idea of stamina, and how it slows you down the more you load up, however, the inability to clear minor obstacles like a short knee fence is not much fun, especially when I see zombies climbing over high fences to murder me. 

Also, I have found the hunger and thirst drain far too fast when you have this much weight, which mind you again, is not that much. I, with the kit I have listed above, had to eat two pumpkins, 2 pears, and apple, a can of sardines, and a tomato, while only traveling roughly 2,000 meters. This would have been so filling in real life, it would make you puke. This coming from a guy who not only helps teach survival where full rucks and weapons are the norm, but also a fire fighter that is humping around a great deal of weight on a scene for hours on end. 

I just think it needs tweaked a bit to more reasonably reflect reality. I also don't like the fact one your bar is down to 25%, you can't sprint, even if only for 10 feet or so. This greatly reduces your ability to get to cover when engaged. Even with full ruck/kit, one would be able to accomplish a short distance fast movement action. 

You guys are top notch in my opinion, because you strive for that reality. Just need some tweaking done.
