We're looking at changing that, because adding it will allow us to add quite a few other interesting things related to it that we can't do now, but it'll actually be a major change to be able to do this and so will take awhile. Until then, we've already added a hypothermia help screen in the latest patch that should pop up the first time a player gets the hypothermia debuff, explaining several methods of warming up and staying warm. This should help greatly with people not knowing what to do or what the debuff means.
I am glad to read this.
When I first started actually playing the game several weeks ago now, I to was frozen in one short day.
So I can sympathize with the OP's discouragement (but not their temperament) ...If a good soul in town who heard my plea's wouldn't have thawed me and gave me more thermal points via clothing, then I would probably have quit the game that same day too.
Meaning; if you Developers want to keep a few new players in the game for more than a week to one day, then make this a priority rather than just something waiting on a shelf in the shop.
And, Or, Also:
Maybe having some active played-out instructions about thermals inside of the initial tutorial might help a lot toward resolving this issue too.I am in no way trying to criticize the game, it's Dev team, or any of it's charming players, I am merely pointing at a bump in the path that has apparently been there for to long.
This game is freaking awesome, I am enjoying every minute of it !
