Sprint audio & energy bar not accurate when unable to sprint due to temperature - Experimental (1.0.150408).
New, NormalPublic

Description

After going for a swim and getting the cold/blue thermometer icon, the ability to sprint is removed. I believe this is by design which is understandable. However, the sprinting audio still plays and the energy bar decreases which is misleading to the player what is going on.

To summarise:

  • Inability to sprint while cold is acceptable design, but the user experience (audio & energy bar) indicate sprinting is occurring

Two proposed items to address this:

  • The sprinting audio should not play. It should remain jogging/walking audio
  • Regeneration of energy bar should not occur until the thermometer icon is out of blue status

Follow-up issue:

  • In the game's current implementation without vaulting (climbing over a low fence), energy bar regeneration is required for players to jump over fences. To change the game so energy bar regeneration only occurs at correct temperature will have negative impact on player experience until vaulting is re-introduced.
