SirGamingScotsman 0 Posted June 16, 2012 I know that my character will get hungry and thirsty while I'm offline. My question is, if I have to go offline for a number of days, maybe even a week or two, holidays/vacation etc. What state will the hunger/thirst meters be in?Will I just have to eat and drink as normal if they are red and flashing, or can my character starve/dehydrate to death while offline?Thanks.

cromelex 0 Posted June 16, 2012 I was offline for over two weeks because of my final exams in university, and when I got back my character was still alive, but with food and drink meters flashing red. So no, the character won't die. You just have to drink and eat as soon as you get back to the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stinkyghost 28 Posted June 16, 2012 You don't die, your food and hunger levels get really low and you just need to eat, Don't eat and you will die! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BanditSlayer (DayZ) 0 Posted June 16, 2012 Be sure to put some food and water in your backpack/tent before logging out. 1 of each should suffice in order to stave of the hunger and give you time to find more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirGamingScotsman 0 Posted June 16, 2012 Awesome guys thanks! Good thing I keep a decent stock of food and water on me. If I do need to be away from the game for too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbd 12 Posted June 16, 2012 Best to have 2 of each, food/drink.The reason is what happened to me once. I logged on, hunger and thirst flashing so I eat and drink my last. About a minute later the server got flaky, lagging, about 5 fps etc. so I log out and find a different server. I log in to it, again my hunger/thirst are flashing and I am loosing blood and I have no food/drink! Desperate I run as fast as I can to a nearby barn, no food/drink, run to another close by, no food/drink. I am running about so recklessly due to my impending starve/bleed to death that I don't see a bandit enter the barn I'm searching and he kills me. All because the hunger/thirst while logged out mechanic is buggy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skint (DayZ) 138 Posted June 16, 2012 Anyone know if Temperature decreases if offline for a long time? eg. I log out in the woods and not in a building. Does weather affect character whilst offline? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
