Broken leg? No morphine? Very good

[SilverWeed 0]

You were in Elektro. Come back and talk when your leg randomly breaks hopping a fence up by Novy Sobor and tell us about how fun it was crawling to Berezino.

Amen!

So assuming you don't want to crawl to town, whats the easiest way to get your loot back in the next life? Can you crawl behind a tree, respawn, and loot your own body in the next life, or will your body despawn over time? If you leave you stuff on the ground will it despawn?

Your body is always at risk of disappearing after death. Sometimes it will vanish instantly. Sometimes it will disappear in 15 minutes. Sometimes it won't disappear until the server restarts. This may have been resolved as of the latest update, but previous iterations of DayZ have always had problems with the body cleanup script.

Looting your own body is dumb and immersion breaking anyway. If you die, you should have to start fresh from Square One, not get lucky with the body cleanup timer.

I break my legs every single minute.

deer stands man.

Morphine can spawn there

[Lukio (DayZ) 24]

Ok dear Morphine hunter dudes (and ladies) help me out here please.

Buddy of mine who is new to the game had a leg accident when looting a deer stand at the field west of Kozlovka. As I am unhurt I told him that I'd try to scavenge some Morphine nearby while he crawls in my general direction. What should I do?

Hit the deer stands around Kozlovka, go to Pogorevka and try my luck in the church or go to Zelenogorsk and hope to find something in the market? What about visiting Green Mountain radio tower? What would be the best option?

I'm kind of lost as all the loot changes are not really apparent to me. Is it really military / hospital only? Do churches not count as medical spawn? Are deer stands real "military" spawns?

I went through the hospital today in Elektra, no morphine, on the roof or inside, I broke the glass with my axe to get in, so it's not as if someone had been through already.

It seems to me that something is not quite right.

Currently the dilemma here is not realism. Leave the arguments of realism out, especially if your a doctor, nurse, physician or whatever useless or professional information you have, none of it will help us with this topic.

The debate here should be, does not spawning with morphine, bones being broken easier and more frequent, very low percentage that morphine will spawn, crawling for hours to a city, deer stand, grocery store, etc, enhance the game in a fun, exciting way that makes you want to keep playing and adds to the intensity and despair to the game?

I would say, No. It is not fun after your 5th character death do to the fact you got punched by 1 zombie, broke your legs out in a little town and you have to crawl for 2 hours around places, hoping there is morphine. That isn't fun, it isn't even scary anymore, the gimmick/despair/intensity of the situation has worn off due to frustration.

I like the idea of having your bones broken, it adds a great dynamic to the game, but not when it happens as often as bleeding, which is another issue in of itself. The spawn rate of the items should dictate the rate at which the injuries happen. They should be hand in hand, I very rarely get the shakes from being injured, but painkillers are everywhere! You do start bleeding a lot and bandages are never in short supply, you get broken bones a lot now and morphine should be more available or do the splint idea people are talking about, your bones should heal regardless in game over time.

Next Post down is my story for the last 2 days of playing, I will probably just do cliff notes version, its completely related to morphine.

Okay, I know this post is long, has run on sentences and is probably an identical experience a lot of people have had, but if you really believe that this is fun, then you obviously don't know what fun is. This game does something to your emotions many times that I don't think any other game i have played recently, but its starting to wear thin because the difficulty of the game is rising to the point of it just being ridiculous, especially since the game is partly broken, due to it being an Alpha. Why keep increasing the difficulty when the same issues need to be addressed every patch, since they are never truly fixed. (this is not a knock btw, its just plain fact).

Here's my story:

So, I died in the last 2 or so days and I had some pretty good gear set up and several tents, many people can relate to this, I get killed in the NW Airfields in a barrack because i was killing just about every zombie, mostly due to the fact they updated the zombies and they could see you anywhere, finally i get killed by some survivor with a silenced machine gun because i was trying to loot an M9 silenced pistol, but because of the not so great inventory management (Rocket even agrees) i would of reacted faster and shot him in the face because i saw him before it, etc etc etc. This re spawned me obviously and played around with the new mechanic of starting out with almost nothing and trying to survive, against broken infected and players who still just murder people regardless of what they have.

The last 2 days I have spawned near or in Kamenka, there were no weapons, food or medical supplies, I kept going to the barn north east of it and get supplies there, 3 times i restarted because my bones were broken from infected that freaked out that I wasn't even near and I had to crawl to the deer stands north of it, i got tired of this very quickly, could not find any morphine, so I respawn everytime i break my legs to zeds. Finally I get decent start out, im in a town NE of Green mountain, im headed to Stary, get my legs broken, crawl to Stary, get there because i figured the morphine would spawn in the tents........nope. I was also going to my tents i had set up there which are gone now because of the update. I crawled around all of Stary, I checked all the tents there several times on multiple different servers for hours. Not one morphine, I eventually died today when I shot one zombie with a G17 who saw me at night attracted i kid you not 10 zeds over, brought me down to 3k blood, i then crawl to a house and couldn't get in the doors because im crawling (you know the long brown log cabins) i get hit by a zombie i don't even know how i attracted and knocks me out and he alone eats me from 3k health to 0. That wasted four hours of my time, i crawled around and checked the Grocery, every house, barn, deer stand, around stary, and went to other servers as well. That is ridiculous, no matter what, that is frustrating and easily takes you from being immersed to not wanting to play anymore. I will still continue to play, but we wouldn't have to go through the same experiences frequently if they just changed up the fun factor a little more instead of the "despair" factor.

If you break a leg you should have to find a wheel chair and go around in that. This magical morphine that fixes broken bones isnt realistic.

A lot of the game isn't realistic even though it tries to be.
