Use blood bags on yourself

[Robolord 11]

So I was walking around, just searching for some loot, and boom I get shot down. I shoot back tough and kill my attacker, and there I am, with 2k blood left. And no one around to even help me.

Make it able to use bloodbags on your own, its impossible to survive while my friend is miles away and no one is around (and even if someone was around they'd shot me).

I cant move on because I pass out all the time. I know this is a hardcore game, and I accepted that, but not being possible to go on with the game is just bullshit.

Bloodbags would make way more sense if their icon actually reflected what they were: tubing to do a blood transfer from person to person (apparently everyone is the same blood type). They aren't actual bags of blood because those don't keep in non-refrigerated settings.

Whilst it would be handy to be able to use a blood-bag on yourself it would remove one of the very few aspects of the mod that require player to player cooperation, you can regain blood from eating food albeit at a slower rate that uses more resources. Your best bet would be to do just this, eat food, preferably cooked meat but that require matches, wood and of course some meat to cook.

Your point about if someone was around they'd shoot you isn't always true it depends on the person(s) you meet, now it's certainly disheartening to find that a large proportion of those you meet are after your head on a spike but once you start to speak to people through Direct chat I've found people are more likely to cooperate once speech is established. Now you'll still be shot at and you'll still die but there's someone out there that is looking for a friend and is perhaps in the same position as you, it just takes time and a lot of frustration to find someone, a bit like love I suppose...

I didn't even think of it like that, I just thought it was one of those features that encourage co-op.

Anyway, there's already a thread of this: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6938

But going from Soda's point, there could be refrigerators in some hospitals (running on emergency power before anyone says there's no electricity in Chernarus) and they contain ACTUAL blood packs, but instead of refilling health to 12,000, could only give about 3000 points?

I agree, but I have a feeling about DayZ now like: you play this game with atleast 2 person or you are unable to play at all. I'm in like a god forgotten corner of the map, where barely no one ever comes. I'm passing out all the time, cant hear any zombies coming and am barely able to get any food. I understand the game must be unforgiving, but isn't this a bit to much? Because of this I just cant play the game without starting a new character.

I get attacked, I kill my attacker, and still we both die (or atleast, almost). Shouldn't you atleast be able to fix yourself up after you won a fight? Shouldn't you atleast be able to move on after you won, instead of having to create a new character? Otherwise it has no use gathering all the medical supplies, you'll end up dead even if you killed your attacker.
