Perma Black and White....wth

[chaospinhead 5]

So I'm pretty new and learning a lot but this doesn't seem right.  I was running around, got totally lost, exhausted all my food and water and was on the brink of death when after 5 or so "You are dying of starvation" messages I finally found the freakin coast and got some food and water in me.  Have since totally filled up.  "I am really full" is what it says, but my screen is perma black and white.  And I am totally weak or something.  If a zombie even clips me in full gear I instantly go unconcious and have to log out because when I wake up my body is mysteriously sliding across the ground.  Can't get up, can't move, cant do anything.  Then when I log back in screen is still black and white, and I can move again.

Its been like 2 hours of eating and drinking, cans of food, bag or rice, 2 canteens of water, gorged at a fountain...why is there no status or something indicating whats wrong or is just not implemented yet?

You havent eaten enough. When you bring up the inventory it will say 'healthy' in the status area if you are full health. Then and only then will you start regenerating blood. You sound like you are extremely low on blood and possibly health if the screen is blurred.

 

You will need a buttload of food and water, keep drinking and eating until you see the notification pop up saying "I feel completely Stuffed" and your inventory screen shows the healthy status. The color will start coming back.

 

Dont eat raw rice it makes you thirsty (apparently). And eat/drink everything you find right away, my advice is to find a bunch of food/water and sit and eat until you hit the status I mentioned.

The indications is the disaturation = low blood, blurriness = low health etc etc, and if it sounds like you're in pain, you are.. :P

It's very confusing for a new player to figure out on his own, without using the internet. I suggest that you take a look on Merinos in depth guides on how everything works. Well worth the time (roughly 2 hours in total)
