Heat Stroke

[MattSL97 0]

We have getting to cold where you can get an infection, but that rarely happens except on Namalsk. I think we should add heat stroke so it is more realistic than just having like frostbite. Maybe if you run a lot on a very sunny day you will get to hot and you will have to use an item such as an ice pack and have to drink more water. Maybe if you don't use ice pack you will pass out and loose blood or something like that.

Heat stroke + dehydrated + a lot of water isn't healthy..

i think its a good idea. Being too cold make the player shake so having heatstroke could do something like blur the players vision?

so you have to stop running every few minutes not to get a heatstroke?

i think travelling on foot is slow enough as it is right now

Travel in the shades and drink plenty of water.

Standalone. Cars.

Heat stroke good suggestion.

It'd be good to have something else to stay aware of. Best bet is to avoid becoming dehydrated in the first place, but we all know that's not going to be made easy.

I think in-game it should be represented by blurred vision, to replicate dizziness (as bilbey said) and the lack of ability to keep running without getting KOd.

I'm not so sure how to suggest your character suffering nausea, but IIRC that's another of the signs.

Of course you're eventutally going to pass out and never get up, unless you find shade and rest/rehydrate or someone gives you a saline solution IV.

EDIT:

So it'd be nice if there were saline solution bags to be had at hospitals too.

Maybe some of the nice glucose ones? Some of us just don't have time for fluids by mouth.

If anything, it's way too fast, it's just that Chernarus is too empty at the moment to notice. SA should sort this with more towns/interesting places all over the map.

But yeah, I don't know many people who can keep up a hard run for hours on end.

i also dont know people taking 8 makarov bullets like a champ

there are borders where the game beceomes unplayable, right now on vanilla dayz there are NO cars in the towns, every single car is hidden in god-knows-where, mainly the border woodlands, and good luck getting there when you have to stop running for a minute every 5 minutes

Unfortunately that's just a problem with the low number of vehicles and pointlessness of many towns with no enterable buildings - again, SA should fix these

You are pretty fast with almost 20km/h running speed...and imagine the gear most players are carrying ( AS50 TWS + 12 mags in the pack and another AS50 with 12 mags in the hand )
