Hello, We have updated the actor status hunger and thirst requirements so that the needs are slightly higher. In addition, we fixed an issue where those statuses did not persist between sessions. You should now have slightly increased pressure to keep water/food on your person and eat at least once per session, though the intent is not to have so much pressure as to make it a constant nuisance. Let us know where we are on that goal from your observations! -Baior Player Experience Team
