Isn't it cold up there, too?

Not to stir up trouble, but I was just wondering: how come we suffer from cold in Wintry Place but not in Nottis?

  • I was wondering about this too. I thought maybe once Nottis wasn't so new, they might introduce the coldness buff. I kinda hope they do because I like more challenging gameplay :))) might also further encourage Glitchen to make hearty foods!

  • I was wondering about that too but I'd say the two places are slightly different in the sense that Nottis is a region and the terrain there does rather support life while Wintry Place is frozen through and Sno-Cones are sold there, so the de-buff may have been there simply to discourage people from staying too long.

  • I think it might be a good idea to introduce the buff there. Lots of Hearty meals or your time is very limited there

  • But only if there is another way to gather ice, for those of us who like drink-making.

  • Wintry Place is, like, really, really cold.

  • I'm with Eddie. The coldness factor is different. It can be cold and snowy where you live and you are cold but you put on a jacket and are okay. In other places like Antarctic, you would freeze to death if you stayed outside too long even if you were bundled up.

  • Precisely. It's rather like comparing a desert to a volcano.

  • What can we say, it's Nottis cold as Wintry Place!

  • It would make ice very expensive, especially for people without all the cooking skills. I'm not a fan.

  • That was a good pun. And I'm not a fan of this idea either, Nottis is quite clearly not as cold as Wintry Place and as a region it'd discourage exploring (Not to mention I happen to like to slack off there).

  • Maybe make the debuff only apply in Nottis if you're naked (have the naked buff). That would make streaking through Nottis a little more challenging, but still allow people to harvest Ice (clothed) without having to deal with the energy drain.

    Since there is a naked buff, maybe this could also be taken farther, for example you might swim a little faster in Jal.

  • Nottis is such a beautiful place, why would you want to limit the time we can spend there?, I for one want to be able to spend a long time there dreaming of Yeti's and the things we have yet to find among the snow :) I'm betting It won't just be nubbins !!
