Bug/Just not working out ---------------------------------
I think you should replace the Sound with IF possible, blue Breathes. Like actually breathing out Blue Breathe, like you do in the Winter when it's cold.
Why? Because, I find that If there is 2 obscurities, or EVEN loud Shooting Annoying Spraying Teamates, you can't really Hear the Chill Enough.

I Agree, i used the Chil perk playing one on one and even like that it was difficult to hear (was playing on downpour though, rain makes things hard).
The Chill perk is a great idea, helps avoid possessions and sneak attacks, but its just not quite there yet.
Something visible would make things easier like the cold breathing, another idea (i have no idea of how any of this is implemented so i don't know whether its possible or not) would be to have frosting appear around the edges of the screen, a little like Crysis.
Looking forward to what you guys add to this mod next :)

This has been talked about and reviewed quite a bit already and they are looking into it. Note the perk is affected by weather so I think if it's snowing or raining it has a reduced affect because you'd already be cold. And yes the sound is a little difficult to hear but they are working on it. I still use it =P

The breath idea is pretty good, so we will see. We will add both breath effect and the sound if we agree to it and don't have too much alignment issues between FP and 3rd person (it won't be blue though, as I have never seen blue breath). As for the frost on screen, I don't think we will add that. You aren't frozen etc, you are just more sensitive to temperature changes, allowing you to detect when the super cold blooded obscurity is near.
We won't be making it super overpowered. It is not a means to 100% detect obscurity. You need to listen, and you will need to factor in that the weather will sometimes give you the chills even if the obscurity is not near.
If we make it loud, instant and super easy to track obscurity players with then it will be too overpowered for a perk. So keep these things in mind.
Hope your all having fun playing with the new stuff.
EDIT: Alignment issues strike again. No breathing, but we will improve the Chills perk.

Yeah on second thought, it really doesn't need much improvement.
I played quite a bit yesterday with it and it works quite well. Once you begin to get used to it it becomes very effective. doesn't help when an obs leaps and knives though :P
Btw, how far is the range of the chill perk? maybe increasing range a little is all it needs.

Current range is 7.5m radius circle, which is a fair bit when you think about it. But it does have a delay for realism, rather than they enter the circle OMG IM COLD
Edit: Oh I forgot, it's increased to about 11m when inside, and is reduced when the weather gets cold :P

Hmm, yeah 7.5m sounds like a good range, and i like that you have increased/decreased range depending on weather/location.
Nice perk, i'm starting to react better to it now, not really sure what (if any) tweaking could be done.
