Rain and Temprature

[Areoss 4]

I personally suggest, even though it does have its effect already, but not to the extent i'd imagine it...

That rain isn't as cooling as it should be.

I think you should really want to get out of the rain. From my several weeks of experience, when It has been raining, all we did was keep on running and our temprature never fluctuated.

We should have to take shelter in a barn or something as soon as possible like you really would have to, to stay dry and warm.

I don't know if anyone else agrees with this?

TL;DR (how I dont know but some people are lazy)

Make rain have a really dramatic effect to cooling your body temprature.

Second idea to add to this effect, also make rain harder to hear you (if it doesnt already) by zombies. So you can run a bit quicker to get out of the open and into shelter. It will also give people more reason to make a fire and not just for food.

For an added teamplay effect you could make it so that bodyheat transfers. As long as you stand close to another player you will recieve warmth from him. This will be great in situations where it rains and two randoms meet each other in a sheltered barn, where they must stay together to keep warm.

I thought it was going to have more effect too. Aparently it's only really if your not moving much so at least snipers might get ill.

brings a new definition to someone being called a "Sick shooter" :P

I personally would like rain to be more harsh...

An issue is that people may simply log out, but thats just a lot of hastle in comparison to finding shelter... so I don't think its that bad :)
