Why do you need 12000 blood?

[Imafighter 236]

If you're a good survivor, you shouldn't need 12000 blood. Only the 4.5k blood normal ArmA II has. So why does DayZ have 12000 blood?

Because. Thread is closed. Give me my beans!

Because 12001 is way too much OP

Who cares if you start with 4.5k or 12k? seriously

[-Gews- 7443]

So you can survive being shot in the chest with a .308. Twice. <_<

[-Se7eN- 874]

i dont really know why as such but honestly i kinda like the 12k blood system.

[Maca (DayZ) 769]

It's a far question, but I wouldn't see a lot of us surviving for long if we had 4.5k blood. Could be a nice experiment to try out for a week of two? See what kind of effect it may have on or survival instinct.

[Walking Wounded 199]

I would like it reduced. 12k is for

wait for it......

noobs :emptycan:

[Whatsausername 119]

you know if there were no noobs ever, then no one would play the game....just saying, but I agree they should either increase bullet damage or decrees blood.

Someone (I think Rocket) said that the blood level was increased to 12000 so they could implement effects like bleeding and infection realistically outside of a warzone where you have relatively immediate medical help nearby. I don't mind it, 4500 would be too low IMO, because 2 shots from pretty much any gun, anywhere on your body would kill you. If the Revolver amd M1911 worked properly (they're supposed to do 4.5K dmg), they'd be 1 shot kill. A better system though is the hitbox system someone drew up. I can't find it b/c I'm on my phone but if you're interested look it up on the forums, it's a great idea. Essentially it removes blood almost altogether, but instead I akes into account zones on your body, and assigns a kill % based on the importance of that section on your body. Like if you get shot in the chest - where your heart is - it's like a 90% chance instakill. Something like that.

[Zombie Jesus 723]

Pretty much what WBK said. If you lowered it to 4.5k blood you remove the need for medical items unless you are in a fierce makarov battle. Then again I once heard that someone took a helicopter down with a single makarov shot, surely the video is up by now.

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

12K? I have refused to use debugs since dayzs birth in lord baby jesus's manger even resorted to putting tape over my screen due to lack of immersion.

[Creep- 569]

I have 12k blood irl

[Feral (DayZ) 622]

average amount of blood in a human being is 5.6 litres (6 quarts)

why does DayZ have 12000 blood?

Mike Tyson zeds.

[p4triot 207]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the weapons do the same dmg to you regardless if they hit you in the middle of your chest or only in your toe, and that's why we have 12.000 Blood. Because being hit twice in your arm with a 1911 doesn't immediately kills you IRL. We're sacrificing the realism when being hit in the chest then, as you can survive .308 calibers shots there, twice, as someone already said. But I'm fine the way it is, the character is already retarded enough, we don`t need him to die just for losing a finger.

Though, I hope in the standalone the dmg depends on WHERE you have been hit instead of how much dmg the bullet does.

[Walking Wounded 199]

this is a falsehood perpetrated by noobs to ensure they are lovingly accepted by those with higher IQ than potato.

[Shark Eel 9]

Because we would die so much FASTER if there was less blood, and most weapons would become stupidly underpowered to balance it out.

[HazZarD87 166]

Dunno bout the lot of ya but when I put two 5.56mm rounds into someone they go down. 7.62mm only takes one unless the range is very long. 9mm is crap but then again.. plenty of cops who had to shoot a guy 7 or 8 times with a 9mm before they'd go down. (And yes, torso shots).

The threshold for a shot (partially) incapacitating you even when not outright killing could be better though. Have it screw with your aim more for instance.

Ofc sometimes it happens that you think you're trying to shoot the terminator but that's either desync or hacks.

Something to do with us having 10-12 pints of blood in the human body IRL maybe?

That insinuates that noobs are smarter than other players, where that the case I doupt they would be noobs. therefore what you have stated is a falsehood perpetuated by the "noob haters" to convince others that noobs are only a nuisance and have no value. furthermore if they only cared about being accepted by those with an IQ higher than a potato then that is discrimination against the mentally handicapped, which contradicts your claim because if they are smart enough to know how to convince others that they have purpose, then I doupt they would be so stupid as to try and get away with deliberate discrimination.

If you read and assess what you said you will find that you are indeed....
