I would just like to add one major thing that keeps coming up. People keep saying you naturally regen blood. This is only because you eat. Hence the blood gained from the food. Your body would not produce additional blood if your nutrition was low. Overall I just recently started playing with other people and we still use meat more often then blood bags because of availability. Also blood bag seems like a waste unless your under like 7-8k but it is allot safer to run around with 11.5k health then 9k health which few meat is perfect. You keep comparing 8 slots to 1 slot but the fact is 1. It is suppose to be easier with groups and 2. You also have food on you which 1 bloodbag does not give you. Dual purpose. Fact is anyone (especially in NW) will have at least 3 sources of food on them if not more. ATM I am carrying 5 so right now I have 2 blood bags and 4 meat 1 beans. Fact is that's 7 slots that you could have 8 meat and still have what i have for food plus 1-2 bloodbags of blood (fact is usually bags are used around 8k-9k so only 3-4k gain. So it is more like you lose 2-3 slots being alone not 7 slots. 2-3 slots for being alone in a survival situation is not bad.
Allot of people that murder in a video game would not murder in real life so the effects would be quite more drastic and noticeable. Shaking hands etc. So you would not need to be a trained psychologist to see these or notice these. As I said it would be hard to replicate the exact thing because fact is people know it's a video game. I am on the edge, but simply saying in real life their would be no visual/audio signs is inaccurate.
I would like to stay out of this because i see both side a bit. Honestly, IMO it would be better to have as a server option but I'm ok with either. I do want to address you saying that real life you can adapt. This is true depending on how much light. However, you may not realize something like this with no power how little light their actually would be. Even right now if you go out into middle of Rockies ( I live in Colorado) it is very hard to adjust and that is with Huge cities all over giving lots of light. If this happened their honestly might not be enough light other than like full moon nights to see any better than it currently is. You get effects of City light over 400 miles away.
No I don't' want to pay again but would consider if that's an option. I would much prefer to not have too though. Not sure how to do this without stopping exploits easily. Only way I could think would have like 2-3 different sets of servers. So Dallas has like 30 servers 10 of them be A. 10 be B. 1 be C. and have them be like completely different character entities. So if you logged onto any A server you were X but on B servers you could be something else. However this would be allot of back end work and DB management.
No what I am asking is I want a second account. Like take most games say Diablo 3 for instance. I can have 1 character completely apart from another. So like I want to login as X play and I will have my new pack with my Lee and a markov with my friend in his town. When I am playing alone I want to login in completely different and have my AK and be somewhere else. I would not even mind if different servers but atm all servers treat you alike os it is hard. I do not see why to have 2 different save files I use completely seperate i should have to pay an extra 30 dollars for a 2nd game. Diable 3 i can have more than 1 charachter, WoW I can list go's on.
I am not against their being some negative to murders as long as it's not much or big. Fact is in real life their (for most people) would be a negative emotional effect that could more than likely effect you physically. So for instance if a murder made you lose X blood (who knows maybe 400 maybe 1200 I don't know really just throwing ideas) or some other minor negative attribute I think that would be fine. I would however be highly against a big negative. I think removing bandit skin was a good idea because fact is you would not know in real life if guy is murderer or not you would just have to go off other things. Also fact is people are certainly slightly more likely to shoot on sight being this is a video game and fact is they know this and you do not have normal human feelings about the siutation because of this. So having a slight added negative might make it more realistic.
