Just wanted to add to this rather than creating a new ticket. I too was expecting that a Tent would provide some sort of environmental shelter from the rain. However eventually I got the wet status Icon and began to have cold effects. This is in build 1.01.150627

+1, this has been around for ages and I can't believe it's still a thing.

@Geez As of the 1.06 Livonia Open Beta patch, this bug is still around. Please, I must urge you to acknowledge and assign this issue quickly! There are several unopened tickets on the subject, I picked this to comment on since it predates 1.0. With so much rain - and getting wet making you hypothermic so quickly - and shelter hard to find in parts of the map, being able to wait out the rain in a tent is critical. This NEEDS to be addressed before this build leaves exp!

@Beavis The effect of wet clothes begins inside the tent? Maybe it is due to the effect of this ticket T146069 ? Maybe the character is protected from the rain with a delay (lag)?
I dry up, before that - as the animation stops the rain. It can effect wet clothes continues inside the tent?

Thank you Geez!

thanks geez
