Any chance of getting sick and catching illnesses from the environment and weather?
Like back in the Pen and Paper Days of the early 80s , in Gamma World(a game that's world and setting kick the ♥♥♥♥ out of Fallout)
when the party was traveling every certain amount of distance , the GM would roll percentile dice to see if anyone caught something...
normal weather and terrain had a tiny 2% chance , other terrain types would increase that chance...and weather would increase that chance
as well...all by small amounts , but the more time you spent in hostile terrain and or weather , the greater chance characters had of getting ill
Its just a minor thing , but applying sickness debuffs to the player for things like that , could add to the survival aspect...or just annoy people and give them something else to female dog about!

I must say I agree to this. It will add to the immersion of the game and it sounds like it will create a system that will be easier to control and balance.
I do like the thought of global weather effects, I also hope that the biome borders will get some love and that we will get a more morphed transition in a wider area than what we get now

That would be awesome and reminiscent of my very first game that got me hooked. These days I build from scratch, but for my first game ever I secured the original 2 story cabin with the outside stone stairway. A couple days in it started to rain and it didn't stop for several days. It was wet and cold so I couldn't go very far. I managed to get a couple layers of spikes in just in time for a horde of bears! Maybe things were more random back then to cause such a horde so soon, but it happened. It was difficult, gloomy, even depressing, but most importantly, terrifying... and was one of my most memorable moments that kept me coming back for more.

Sooooo I'm not trying to ask for a release date. Though instead of saying it's done when it's done. We already know that Alpha 18 is coming in the first half of 2019 according to MadMole (Which is by the end of June and I'm sure a lot of us really thank you for even giving us that much) This is a rough date. Not a release date.
Though what about Alpha 17.3? I hope it wouldn't be too much to ask for a rough date or at least the bare minimum amount of time that needs to pass before Alpha 17.3.
Is it possible that Alpha 17.3 could release tomorrow? Do you guys feel the release is still at least a week away? Month away? Because due to the new random gen overhaul I strongly feel a LOT of servers will be wiping with this patch. Some form of knowing at least how much time we roughly have left till then would be extremely helpful instead of hitting Refresh on the forums every 12 hours.

Maybe make it so you lose health after been a certain amount of time in the Rain, so people are trying to avoid it and have to find some shelter
Our maybe getting less room in your inventory when u are wet so balance from the wet cloth that has gain more weight

Somewhat. it is not fully enclosed (mobs often come from outside and beat their way in), is fully destructible and only a small part of the game itself.
The game also lacks a certain volume of equipment that you would normally see with a dungeon crawler typically has that makes randomized numbers more reasonable not to mention that there is an utter lack of scaling that is almost a requirement for progression in those types of games.

I'm itching hard for some good news on next update - are we looking at something soon? Can we see what's confirmed on next patch & what's delayed for the next patch or pushed 'till A18?
I really liked to see that updated page with all these things displayed, also had a bit of an idea as to when to potentially expect it. Just itching for some news on upcoming goods!

I know this is probably a mod forum question but is it possible to have an ITEM (items.xml) that is bound to a player? so it can't be given to others. this would help with questing.
options for quest items:
-- Bound to a steam ID/Player
-- expires (could use repair dmg and no repair option I guess)
-- no drop or no give options - although bound would mean dropping ok but can't pick up if not bound to you.

If we could at least get back to how the game ran back in A16 I ran it so much better back then. Its something to do with shadows for sure because even on Near shadows FPS is struggling everywhere but Empty desert fields and snow biome, but I turn Shadows off and suddenly Im hitting 100+ FPS even with everything else maxed.

Mods that change handling are also "interesting".
In Ghost Recon Wildlands it's done pretty well. Some mods give you better range, silence the weapon or even add more damage but take away handling. Some mods increase handling instead. When you're building a close range weapon to use inside of a house, you might prefer less range and damage to reload and aim faster.

So agree here, I was hoping for maybe floods or such but that's off the cards, so maybe if we not have the right footwear we end with trench foot. Or the constant wet weather could cause dysentery or something.
