The last two words got me. :DDDD

Licking it, eh? fuck yes! but make a small chance for something bad to happen. Like food poisoning or something like that!

Awesome! Love the idea of testing the battery.

Came here so I can say "yay new update" :D

[jake_krieger 10]

But is licking the battery even a real way to measure the charge ?

[Vertisce 158]

Will there be an animation or a reaction to licking the battery or will it just be a text notification?

If you lick a dead 9V battery you will feel nothing.

 

If you lick a live one you will feel a small sensation on your tongue.

 

PS. do not lick batteries in real life, and then blame me if you die or anything

What about the drinking/eating and unconscious bug?

[Siberian (DayZ) 527]

5% chance licking battery KO's you, hahaha, that would be awesome

[St. Jimmy 1631]

What about the drinking/eating and unconscious bug?

Are you talking about the feature?

Try it.

What about this hunger and thirst thing that seems to kill you every thirty damn minutes? Can the battery replenish my hunger if I lick it If not I really dont care about the dumb battery.......

I know there's a better way of testing a battery if you drop it or using a meter  ;)

When can we check players gear when they are in F2 (Surrender state?)

 

Keep up the patching!

I thought it was a typo of "clicking it", but he really meant "licking it"...

[rocket 16567]

Licking battery not working, but this is a critical update so will not delay release.

There's nothing to fix.  Stop running around on the brink of starvation/dehydration and you won't have an issue. 

People whining and bitching about this are ignorant of the fact that you need to drink A LOT and eat A LOT before you're fully full/quenched.  Once you are, you can jog around for like an hour with no issue.  Lrn2play

Don't eat the ipod shuffle!

I did it once, you feel like a little tremble in the tongue and it tastes like iron or something, it was 9V like the Dayz one.
