ICN2: Immersive Character Needs 2

ICN2 is a lightweight yet survival simulation addon for World of Warcraft. Designed for roleplayers and immersion enthusiasts, it adds the missing layer of biological needs to your character: Hunger, Thirst, and Fatigue.

ICN2 features a dynamic "Rate Engine" that reacts to how you play. Your character isn't just a bar that goes down, it is a living being affected by the environment, their equipment, and their actions.

Core Features

• Dynamic Need Tracking: Manage your character's Hunger, Thirst, and Fatigue in real-time.
• Context-Aware Simulation: Your needs change based on what you are doing.
  • Swimming makes you hungrier.
  • Flying increases thirst.
  • Heavy Armor (Plate) wears you out faster than Cloth.
  • Resting in inns or near campfires helps you recover.
• Lore-Accurate Pools: Every race has different maximum need values. An Vulpera might go longer without water than a Human, reflecting their unique biology.
• Immersive Emotes: Your character will automatically emote (stomach growling, yawning, etc.) when your needs reach critical levels, letting everyone around you know how you feel.
• Basic HUD: A customizable, draggable, and scalable interface that shows your status and whether your needs are currently rising or falling.

Choose Your Pace

Whether you want a hardcore survival experience or a light roleplay flavor, ICN2 fits your playstyle with adjustable presets:

• Slow: For long sessions where you only want to eat/drink occasionally.
• Medium: The standard, balanced experience.
• Fast: For those who want survival to be a constant priority.
• Custom: Fine-tune the decay of each individual need.

Extra Features

• Well-Fed Bonus: Finishing a meal doesn't just fill your bar; the "Well-Fed" buff will actually pause your hunger decay for 5 minutes.
• Cross-Need Impact: Be careful! If one need becomes critical (0%), it will begin to subtly drain your other needs a little faster.

Commands

• /icn2 - Open the Options panel.
• /icn2 status - Check your current levels in the chat box.
• /icn2 reset - Reset all needs (for testing or troubleshooting).
• /icn2 hud - Quickly toggle the interface.

A Note for Roleplayers

ICN2 was built with the "Rule of Fun" in mind. It provides a mechanical reason to visit inns, sit by campfires, and share feasts with your party without being overly punishing.
