I'll be happy if I'm able to get to 50 days lol. I consider myself a loper noob still lol. I kinda wish the weather system they applied to the new region was moved to the whole island. The higher you get, the colder you get. I think that's one of my favorite little features of the new region and this dlc. I haven't found a single thermos yet. Didn't even think any the travois. I kinda really like the same spawn point. It gives the difficulty a challenge feel and really does allow the community to either come together and share tactics or compete amongst friends. I like that it starts in PV since it's such a brutal cold region and the weather has always been nasty. I think the location we start in presents us with a few choices that each of us must choose from.

Have you tried going to the plane crash first? I know you get really cold doing it but on both my attempts so far I've found extra underlayer, hats and coats. Sadly, I've never had the luck to get gloves, but I have been able to find those at the farm right after I loot the crash. They aren't in the best condition but I've been fully protected against frostbite and warm in most locations within the first few hours. A little repair work and they are good to suffer a bit of condition damage. Also, how many attempts have you made and what's your record for days survived? Best of luck in the next few days going through the rest of CH.

50 days is awesome!!!!! I wouldn't say there needs to be a bridge between the two. Misery is really supposed to be a challenge for the most veteran of veteran players. I however am not. I think we're supposed to struggle against the preset conditions. I know there are some who have the skill to reach into the years survived in this difficulty but that's not the majority of players. I do enjoy the fact that there's a clear difference between loper and misery. I like the incredible difficulty difference I feel between them. I love that it's been a breath of fresh and horrible air all at once. I think naming it misery was the perfect choice.

It's not that I necessarily feel the need to eek out one more day, I just feel compelled to get to the final affliction. Even if the second run is lost one day after I get broken body I'll be satisfied. I don't think I have the knowledge to survive much beyond the final affliction but I'm going to give it my all. It's absolutely brutal. I got rheumatic joints as my second affliction and that I thought was going to be my downfall. Haunted mind came next and the limited sleep mixed with half condition recovery stomped me into the ground like a moose. The mixed emotions are different. Only after the run ended did I think to myself I need to try again. I was dead set on one and done. I never thought while I was playing that I'd have started a second run minutes after I faded. I was really looking forward to getting back to my loper run and getting myself the 500 day achievement, but yet, here I am trying to get the broken body.

So I made a promise to a try misery. Even though I didn't think I needed the challenge of a harder difficult than loper, since I'm still working on the 500 day achievement. I truly didn't enjoy the mode at all. It required me to think and plan and make decisions that I don't think my in game skills were ready for, and to be honest I was miserable playing the mode. I didn't enjoy any of the time spent on the run. But I had a goal of getting to the final affliction and surviving as long as possible without condition being recoverd. I somehow survived 22 days before a series of bad decisions ended the run this morning. Mixture of starvation, cold and being tired. Yet after hating the mode while playing, I couldn't help but smile as I contemplated another attempt at it, something I swore I wasn't going to do since I didn't enjoy the first run. I felt a small slice of aggravation with myself for the dumb decisions I made that caused me to fade. And then started another misery run. Anyone else have these feelings towards the new difficulty? Hate the moments you're playing it, but once you die you can't help but want to try to get further in? I never thought I was going to feel this way. I never thought I would have taken a moment to think about what I did to die and then restart this difficulty. I didn't think I would, in the end, truly enjoy the challenge that this mode brings. This difficulty is brilliant. So many emotions I've felt on my short journey. I'm so glad that I attempted the run. So glad I made the promise to try it out. To the devs who might read this, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for trying to push this game to it's limits and give your best to us. Even if something's poorly received, I greatly appreciate the efforts in continuing to build a game world that's unique and admittedly addicting to venture into. This game is really one of a kind and I really enjoy the simple but complex tools we're given to survive with. Marlin.

I didn't know they had already done a video on it!!!!! I love the deep dive into the lore they do

I'm thinking I need to get to DP, load up fish with the tip up system, hunt everything I can and get ready to spend an extraordinary amount of time there until the cougar decides DP is now theirs. I've been waiting for the cougar since it was announced. If that's all that the update contained, I'd be one happy survivor. New region, tale, difficulty mode, cheating death are all cool features I'm grateful for being included. But..... Here kitty kitty kitty, we've got a play date!!!!

LMFAO a tape worm 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

While I've only been playing a short time and my longest run, almost 400 days, was ended with the new save system. My current run getting close to 250 days. Granted I don't know what a really long run is like quite yet, I can't imagine hunting bears and picking on all the wolves I can will ever get boring.

I don't like the town of Milton at all. Knowing what happened at the school house to the towns people really bothers me, I'm a medically retired fire fighter. Just going into the town hits my soul hard. I enjoy the basin and it's easy enough to goat down there from the climbing area. Forlorn Muskeg is a death trap in my opinion. I've lost more than 1 run to the thin ice and predators. I'll use the rails if I've got to go through there to Broken Railroad and I'll skip along the walls to get back from the Milton basin to Mystery Lake. But the Muskeg is a no-go zone for me. I'd rather go to Black Rock in a blizzard and fight the timber wolves.

😂😂😂😂 I don't think those people exist either or they aren't playing the same game as the rest of us lol.

I'm not too big of the look, just some nice comfy rugs for Astrid to walk on. That's what's really important.

I didn't know if they are as easy wolves are. They can't help but come to the scent of blood and raw meat. Deer just run to easily.

Sadly, I think I need to use wolf hides this run. Bears are too slow to respawn.
