Food n water too easy?

[SiGouin 25]

Hey, im looking for some feedback here on what other people think about this:

Food and water are too easy to find, and once u eat or drink once, your good for the next hour of game play, rendering it almost useless to raid cities for food.

I think if your food and water level would be rated on 100 (100 being full) a can of beans should be 50/100, therefor you would need to eat 2 cans to be back at 100, instead of waiting for your icon to flash, eat once and be full again.

Just seems like surival isnt much of an aspect anymore, its just running from town to town for guns and ammo. But making food harder to find, or not fill you up 100% of the time would make things alot more interesting.

I have never been to the point i needed to raid a store so i dont starve to death or dehydrate.

Only time it ever came close was the first time i played, i wasnt sure how the game worked, but once you have an understanding of how/where to get food and water, it become obsolete.

-lower food/water spawn rate

or

-Decrease time between meals/drinks

or

-Make it so it takes more food/water to be ingested before being 100%

What are your opinions on this?

I cannot find natural food or water sources. Well its not that I cant find them its the tools needed I cant find. I am severly dehydrated right now as a matter of fact:] Been running from house to house and no soda drop!

Yeah they do need to lower food and drink spawns, make the matches run out after a certain amount of uses, and make the water canteens spawn rate lower.

Would make it a necessity to raid towns etc.

Well they don't NEED to, I just think it would be better.

I Agree with you that they should make it atleast 2 can of beans for etc to fill you up and 1 water canteens or 2 soda's?

just becuase your not having a problem doesnt mean others arent..

personaly i find the food/water regs. to high currently..

if i ate/drank as much as this game requires i'd be a 500lbs fatty who farted all day and couldnt move..

I think the 2 cans to be full is a good method. Sometimes I find food/drinks so often I have to drop some. But if they do this they should find a way to balance the inventory... Adding more slots or make the primal needs take less place...

P.S there should be 6pck of drinks in the supermarkets

If you were actualy in the game, i dont think you would be a fatty after running hundreds of kilometers from town to town.

Theres 355mL in a can of soda, the average grown human is reccomended to drink :

"In the US, the reference daily intake (RDI) for water is 3.7 litres per day (L/day) for human males older than 18, and 2.7 L/day for human females older than 18^[7] including water contained in food, beverages, and drinking water."

So i dont think a couple pepsi's is going to do the drink if your entire day is filled with running from place to place.
