Bug Description:
at reaching 100% thirst (IE full thirst “bar”) thirst will not go below 100% ever again. Usually, when first
running, thirst will decrease normally, but the moment you hit 100%, it stops going down.
Steps to Reproduce:
log into game - drink something that increased thirst bar until you reach 100% (general water sources and water skin work for sure - have not tried with various thirst quenching foods) - then wait about 5 minutes to see if thirst goes down at all. It doesn’t.
This is a bug that has cropped up before - I’ve had the bug since the patch before 2.5 (which I assume was 2.4 but you never know with development terminology), and I’ve been trying to find a solution ever since - I would really, REALLY like for someone to find a solution for me, as I love this game, and playing without thirst being a factor is really…distracting…to the survival mentality part of the game for me
You aren’t waiting long enough. They will stay at 100% for ten minutes.
This is intentional, because you get a 5% bonus to your stamina for keeping your thirst at 100%. Same thing for hunger, except it is a 5% bonus to max health instead.
so, I just found your reply on an identical topic - my question still stands…are you SURE it’s SUPPOSED to be 10 minutes, or are you just inferring that information based on that’s when the timer seems to kick back in - was this mentioned in any patch notes anywhere? Don’t mean to sound suspicious, but a 10 minute timer is…counter, to my memories of playing before patch 2.4 and onward
but, thank you for the reply and for the heads up on the 10 minute timer - I’ll keep the game running longer and see if that finally kicks in for me like it should.
