• Hunger AND thirst?
    31 replies, posted
Do you guys think there should add a thirst meter to the game and make drinking water just as essential? If so how to you think it should work? Post your Ideas and hopefully if we come up with something good the devs will see it and put it the game. Post your thoughts!
Not like they said they are going to add it when its out of pre alpha or anything.
this is a horrible idea
Why make a good game so freaking hard? These ideas are just trying to make the game impossible

I figured, with people running around murdering each other along with hunger and predators the game is already hard enough to survive in.
[QUOTE=BRS;41951992]this is a different survival game thirst is a shit idea[/QUOTE] There is a fine line where constructive criticism becomes being a Shitler. Most of you guys have passed it since long ago. This idea might have needed more thought, Getting water isn't easy when you live in the middle of the island far away from any water source.

The forum is like 90% them, including me. Patrikozo wasn't really being a dick, he was just showing that he disapproves of your inability to use Google. J!NX and Puppyxz were stating opinions, and BRS just poorly stated what I was planning on saying: This is a shit idea for a game specifically stated as being PvP as opposed to survival. Also, if you didn't think it was a good idea, what compelled you to make a thread about it?

I made this thread because i have another thread that talks about what should be added to the game when it is time to do so and i didn't want to clutter it with this. 2. I can handle it just fine, but just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you have to be a dick. We aren't in elementary school anymore, we know how to treat other people nicely, and if you cant deal with that, you shouldn't post shit. 3. What are you talking about when you said "my inability to use google". I regularly keep up with the updates to rust and found nothing. Plus why are you speaking for him. 4. It is a survival game with an emphasis on crafting and building, go check the description stated by the DEVELOPERS yourself. Any other questions?
I think its a horrible idea because you could easily just combine Hunger AND thirst and if I had the systems separated personally, I wouldn't do it fallout NV style. Instead, they would be connected. Drinking alleviates hunger, but not as much as eating, and vise versa. (Thirst also decreases faster) Over time of not drinking but only eating, you'll gradually find the "Thirst rate" grow. Vice versa as well. The Rate meter essentially causes it to shrink faster, and increases when not properly eating or drinking. It also makes it so you can still only drink or eat and survive a longer time, but you still need to do the other thing. However it barely would change much anyways and really is a bit too complex to script. Additionally, thirst would be another thing to balance, and food meter is damn well good as is.

Turns out you got the shit posts haha.

Post rated mean that your posts are dumb. Thats why they rate it dumb. Because they saw it was dumb enough to be worthy of a dumb rating. I would really stop because the only thing you are achieving is making everyone think you're an arrogant idiot that whines when he doesnt get his way. Im not here for your pleasure sorry.
It's a nice idea ! [highlight](User was banned for this post ("banned on alt" - postal))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=BRS;41953455]actually post rates don't mean fucking anything. i think you are more or less describing yourself right now actually[/QUOTE] You are arrogant because you think people should stop posting just cause you dont like it.

[QUOTE=Daniel Munoz;41952334]1. I made this thread because i have another thread that talks about what should be added to the game when it is time to do so and i didn't want to clutter it with this.[/QUOTE] So, you didn't use the thread that would best fit this topic because you felt it was cluttering? The OP could literally be summarized into one sentence, and you'd just get the same answers from this thread in that one: that it's an awful idea. [QUOTE]2. I can handle it just fine,[/QUOTE] Evidently not. You started calling people dicks and assholes over use of sarcasm and sharing opinions. [QUOTE]but just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you have to be a dick.[/QUOTE] Look who's talking. Also, do yourself a favor: if you ever have the opportunity to check out the OIFY, don't. You'd have a literal heart attack from the way you're talking.

Did I answer your question or give you enough to go off of to figure it out yourself? [QUOTE]Plus why are you speaking for him.[/QUOTE] I dunno, because he isn't the one whining about morality in a subforum for a game where most of the fanbase does nothing but build sniping spots, kill on sight, and steal peoples' stuff and it only helps prove my point that nobody was really being a dick and you were just overreacting(as of my original post)? [QUOTE]4. It is a survival game with an emphasis on crafting and building, go check the description stated by the DEVELOPERS yourself.[/QUOTE] I've seen garry constantly use PVP to back up how certain things aren't getting added/modified, so I don't really care what you say. It's not my job to look up information because somebody on the internet's being a smartass. [QUOTE]Any other questions?[/QUOTE] No, just two statements: 1.)Quit acting so fucking smug. 2.)I think it's a little moronic to know you have a shit idea and post it, let alone make a new thread about it when there's already a thread you could use it in. [editline]24th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=zoofi;41956384]Its not a shit idea survival games are supposed to be hard! :wink:[/QUOTE] And games in general are supposed to be fun. If the core game mechanics are just tedious and annoying, nobody's going to play it.
Am I missing something here? If you have to go out and harvest food and eat to live then why wouldn't water be implemented? Like really, it makes sense. Sure this is a pvp game as some stated but it's survival too whether or not you agree. Obviously if thirst was implemented into the game the devs would balance the game to make it just as easy to find water as it is to find food. Am I wrong here? Everyone seems to think it'd be such a nuisance to go out and find water even though you have to find food.
This was originally planned but we decided to combine it into just hunger because it would make survival too hard (especially without any water sources on the map for now). You can see leftovers of water on some items (canned food)
