drayson 158 Posted January 17, 2014 After tangling with a few zombies I've gone kind of a grey scale where I've lost some color. I keep myself hydrated and well fed but it seems to stay this way. Will this slowly recover over time or do I need to talk someone into giving me a saline bag or something else? Also when I take some damage from said zombie dancing my character likes to complain and groan. This seems to go on for the rest of the game session and I can't seem to get him to stop unless I relog. Painkillers and morphine don't do the trip and neither do vitamins (although I haven't figured out a use for vitamins yet). Anyone able to shed some light on either issue?

drayson 158 Posted January 17, 2014 Genius! Why didn't I think of that?! Bleh most of the people I have run into don't know either. I'll keep messing with it then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herrjon 478 Posted January 17, 2014 Did the zombie encounter cause you to bleed? Did you use rags? What's we've encountered with the moaning is if you bandage with rags, the wounds are unclean, causing pain and infection. This causes the groaning and some health issues. If that's the case you need to clean the wound with alcohol or just let your body fight through it over time. Usually a relog will get rid of the groaning, but you'll still have unclean wounds. Apart from that, for getting your blood up, you need to get to a healthy/healing status for regen to kick in. That means eating/drinking even more until you get that status in your inventory menu. You need 3000 water and 3500 energy for slow regeneration (1 blood/sec), and 3500 water and 5000 energy for full regeneration (3 blood/sec). As a baseline, you get thirst messages at 2000 water and hunger messages at a mere 600 energy. A full canteen give you 1000 water, and a full can of beans gives you 462 energy. In order to reach regenerative amounts, you'd need to eat 7 cans of beans for light regeneration, or 10 cans of beans for full regeneration BEYOND the hunger messages. And you of course need to keep eating and drinking as you move around to maintain this status. I suggest checking out these videos if you want more information in video form with diagrams and charts. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159251-merinos-in-depth-video-guides-updated-jan-15th-understanding-sicknesses-and-surviving-poisoning/ If you'd like to get healed up more quickly, you can come to TMW. Our teamspeak is ts.tmwdayz.com. We can give you some saline and give you enough food/water to get your regening so you can get your health back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drayson 158 Posted January 17, 2014 Fantastic information I'll check out those videos pronto. I thought I was doing what I was supposed to by just making sure the "thirsty" "hungry" messages didn't pop up but I need to eat/drink more it seems. I'll pop over to the ts if I continue to have issues. If anything would love to know how to properly use the saline bags and other medical supplies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
