I got the dark walker feat without doing the challenge, maybe I got it when I played it in October and didn’t notice but it told me that I got it when I started a new survival in February. I am on PS4 by the way

This is something that comes to mind often while playing this game. It's a great suggestion @DillonG.

The fire starting percent chance is a great part of the cold weather aspect of TLD survival roleplay at all levels.

The following could add the cold difficulty nerf to fire starting separately from fire starting skill level.

For the fire starting idea from the OP:

• Cardboard Matches, (Could be useless when survivor has frostbite risk/when matches are damp).
• Wood Matches, (Could have low chance of success when survivor has frostbite risk/when matches are damp).
• Waterproof Storm Wood Matches, (Could add "Waterproof and Windproof wood matches").
• Lit Torch, (Requires campfire and/or use of matches/Firestriker).
• Flare, (Perhaps useful in event of frostbite risk/sprained wrist that makes fine motor skills impossible).
• Marine Flare, (Waterproof version of road flare).
• Firestriker, (Could be useless when survivor has sprained wrist).
• Mag-Lens, (Requires sunlight but has chance of success when survivor has frostbite risk/sprained wrist).

My hope is that the game will continue to evolve to include additional tool quality levels,

(IE: stone-edge, improvised knife, hunting knife, quality hunting knife, etc).

Stay safe my friends.

These are great ideas. These would add a bit of realism and make it more interesting. And many people say that the long dark is true survival, if this was added it would make it even better.

I think it would be good for all of the tasks that you mentioned, fires was just the first that came to mind.

I think it might be cool if there was a thing where if you have frostbite or hypothermia risk, it would make it harder to start a fire. And maybe if you have a higher  fire starting skill it could combat this. Thought it might be cool.

No. But I lower my voice when I go hunting. I can scare the deer away.

I do that too.

@DillonG I also want to see skis in the game.  Also snowshoes for that matter.  I’m not trying to give you a hard time but have you ever cross country skied?  You can absolutely walk, skate, and herring bone or side step up hills.  You suggested skis but nerfed them to a point of useless.  So, my question to you is where and when would you use them other then the novelty downhill run?

I have skied before, and, I didn’t think of that.

I think that finding skis would be a faster way to travel around Great Bear. They would be pretty heavy weighing around 11 lbs or so, are pretty rare. And there would be a new skill on skiing, where the higher your skill, the less you crash and sprain a wrist or ankle. They would probably go in your accessory place. You also would not be able to walk in them only slide. I thought of this because you can find ski boots, but no skis. I thought this would be cool.

I would love VR for The Long Dark, I think that would be awesome, like imagine  frantically trying to pick up a bullet and load your rifle while a wolf is charging in vr.  Or actually having to stab the wolf when it’s on top of you. That would be amazing. I would buy vr just to play this game in vr. 

Does anyone know when hinterland will release information on the December update? Because I am super excited for the new update and I was just curious when they were releasing any information.

My most epic story Is, I was being chased by a pack of wolves on a river so I had to run farther downstream. Then I was trapped with my back to a water fall and no escape besides jumping off the waterfall. So I jumped off the water fall and escaped like in the movies.

Do any of you whisper when sneaking around a bear or wolf

It comes mid December of 2020

I’ve been playing for a while, I just joined hinterland forums
