DAY SA IDEAS? MEDS? AMMO? GUNS? RARITY?

[creeperbane 26]

'Sup fellow survivors! I was thinking a few ideas about the standalone and thinking about how the devs said they wanted it realistic then I have a few ideas.

 

1: medical, injuries, and death 

 

They want realism right?  so instead of "blood" (basically health) why not have a "blood count" such as: 10 liters? (not sure how much blood a human body holds so its a guesstimate) as well as blood count you would have a stat for each organ in the body... all of them, heart, lung 1, lung 2, spleen, prostate, appendix (your survivor might or might not have had it removed before the apocalypse), and all other organs.  Bones all of them as well you can break every bone in your body including the tiny ones no one knows about, those would be extremely hard to break and if you manage to break your ear-bone (yes there is one) then beans to you different fractures would have different effects, broken arm? then no rifles and pistol one handed (less accuracy),  broken jaw? no voice chat? garbled voice? Some bones would be obvious like a broken jaw there would probably be blood on his/her face ect. damaged organs would be hidden so if you had a lung punctured by a piece of shrapnel by that bandits improvised grenade you would know nothing about what part of you was hurt but the pain would have some effect on you.  For cases like shrapnel if you have the proper tools someone with the surgeon background could maybe remove it. (they talked about backgrounds between different survivors.

right?).

 

DEATH: death would occur when certain organs reach certain levels or your blood count becomes low enough IE. 1000 ml of blood would be alive, 500 ml blood would be dead.  once certain bones are broken moving around a lot can cause internal bleeding which bandages do nothing for, only time can heal organs and internal bleeding so blood transfusions for keeping yourself alive would be vital under certain circumstances since you cant bandage yourself and run around with 5000 blood.  Blood bags should be able to be used by yourself, if your conscious of course.

 

Other medical statuses:

 

1: burns. While MOSTLY minor (burned from taking your pot of water of the cooker) to major (someone just threw a Molotov at you) they would have different effects some burns do nothing but gradually build up over time (ten minor burns would suck as much as one moderate burn).

 

2: fatigue. this would mostly make you run slower and have difficulty doing much damage with melee weapons.

 

That's it for me all typed out.  I apologize for any grammar problems, and if this is hard to understand, this all came from my head in twenty minutes so its not very organised.

 

Any other ideas? mine were all medical but ideas other than that go down there

A lot of this is either confirmed, in the works, or already explained why they can't be done realistically.

:3 probably, i don't know much about whats going on at the moment.

The stuff like breaking every bone would require an immense amount of programming, a new player skeleton, and a ton of new hit-boxes. I feel like people should be required to take a programming class before making suggestions so that they know how much work some suggestions would be to put in.

You know i am all for realism but one thing that i never like in games is a stamina bar for running...especially if it makes you run too slow.

 

The one thing i never want to play in a game is myself.  I wouldn't last 100m running from a zombie.

The only thing you have to outrun is the slowest person with you, not the zed. Team up with fatties ;)

Or hatchet one of your "buddies" in the leg

Well nobody does, apart from fkn radio stations being prioritized :D

Nobody does if you look at just the official internet announcements.

But if you dig around on places like these forums, Reddit, and watch some of the builds, you can see much of what is being implemented.

Hell, discussion on the numbers of eastern/western weapons ended up with us seeing the beautiful Mosin Nagant which will eventually be part of the Standalone (Not in the initial alpha release, but definitely in an update)

I think this is a better way of covering your heath system. By all means I agree with the anti-blood.
