Description

This is more general feedback than a full-blown bug. I was not sure where to report it.
When I try to play the game I really feel that the effects of hunger and cold are WAY TOO SEVERE. The actual landscape seems to suggest a sunny Autumn day yet almost immediately it seems one is subject to rapidly advancing hypothermia.
Maybe true if it is snowing and a howling gale, but I think this is really overdone.
Also, food. Yes, food is important but one should not starve to death so quickly. People can survive fairly well, with water alone, for several days without food.

By all means make the character weaker without food, and if they are too cold make them shake so much they cannot shoot straight, but I think making food and clothing a little less important or vital would be better.

By the way, I am still getting stuck in buildings because the walls keep disappearing. Is this a "lag" problem? I have very high ping rates because I am on a crappy slow satellite connection. :(

To the developers.
I am really disillusioned with how you set priorities. You seem really keen on developing new characters and weapons but the alpha is still totally unplayable due to the fact that one's character keeps dying from lack of food and over-exposure about 15 minutes after starting.
This is just stupid!! If you want players to help you improve the game you need to let them live long enough.
Put out another version where food and cold are NOT A FACTOR and let us survive long enough to test the graphics and combat systems.
Bring food and cold back in about 6 months when everything else is fixed.
And, I still go into buildings and the bloody walls disappear.
I think, unless you start letting us live longer, we will all end up moving to H1Z1 - from what I've seen the cold is not as lethal as DAYZ.

Hey Kim,
thank you for your feedback.
Sorry to hear about your trouble - the temperature system is being tweaked as we speak and should hopefully get better and less punishing soon.
The issue with disappearing textures is summed up under #17013 and we believe there have been some improvements as well.
Regards,
Andy
