Add the Blood/Food/Thirst/Temp GUI back?

[JakeZ 0]

I, along with many others think that the text is pretty inefficient.  The GUI for Blood, Food, Thirst, and Temperature(I'm gonna use BFTT for short) was fine in DayZ mod.  It allowed you to see exactly what BFTT you were on.  I personally would like to be able to see how much blood I have left before I'm gonna die.  "Bleeding" just doesn't cut it.  It honestly plays a big factor in the game.  I'm not sure if the text is just temporary for the alpha, but if someone could shed some light on it, that'd be great.

There are icons lighting up in the inventory when you are thirsty, hungry, bleeding. Your current level of blood can easily be "calculated" be how good/bad your vision is (black/white, blurred, etcetera).

They have said that they are not happy with the text-based system, and will probably do something about it. I for one quite enjoy the current combo of icons in inventory and the text.

 

I agree that the icons should be a bit more accurate (like show how many percent of food/water/blood you have), but i do NOT want it in the hud. Keep them in the inventory. I don't like shit on my screen.

It wasn't a bad idea, but I personally like to be able to tell specifically what I need.

Id like to see some more information too. I want to see if im regenerating energy or health or whatever, the health system is so confusing now but there is no information about how your character feels. All you see is "sick" "hungry" or "thirsty" with a variation of 3 colours.

I know that Dean doesent want too much interface, but right now you cant connect yourself with your DayZ character so you feel what he/she feels. In 40 years this might be possible, but right now we'll have to deal with icons and interface.

i like the inventory/text combo, what's wrong with it? 

 

although if they wanted to just cut it down to inventory icons, + make them slightly more informative i'd be ok with that, UI is so two years ago.

They should make GUI that can be enabled/disabled on the screen via hotkey. There for there'll be nothin to block ur screen.

It doesn't show the exact level though.  You don't know exactly when you NEED to eat or drink, or how much time you have to find a bandage, etc.

I like that idea.

I would like to have un-polluted screenshots, thank you

[liquidcactus 719]

I'm happy with the way it is but maybe som,ething better to indicate blood but no SCREEN CLUTTER when there is no inv screen up !!

 

The one thing I love about it is theres nothing on your screen thats the best way to be immeresed into any game world

Instead of having the GUI back on screen, how about having the GUI for blood, food, thirst and temperature in the inventory? It wouldn't clutter up the screen during normal gameplay, but would simply replace the little text in the inventory.

you do realize the game does tell you when your healing or healthy right? it just takes a insane amount of water/rice/powdered milk to get to that stage and your vision is plenty enough indicator because unlike the mod we have way less blood if you havnt noticed 1 pistol shot to the leg is enough to grey you out 2 kills you but if you are hidden for 10-20 mins your back to full hp if your at healthy status
