Did you really put in heart attacks?

[DayzForumer 284]

You are a fit person. You cannot die from a heart attack, you cannot die randomly from heart failure. The first thing that happens is that you pass out.

[Zorres 13]

Just because you're fit doesn't mean you are immune to heart failure...

It's not going to be random.

[TIC 1050]

Hopefully heart attacks would more likely happen if you have a poor diet.

 

As Zorres said; because you're fit doesn't mean you can't get a heart attack. Anyone can get them.

[GoldenKade 73]

I don't like this new prospect of heart attacks either.

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

Personally i find it a bad idea to be ingame....but not much i can't do.

I mean really now....i can get shot,eaten alive,drown.fall from a high place,freeze to death,die from food poisoning.

Do we also need heartattacks?

You was testing it right? How it works?

Or is it only a feeling...

Can you please provide a source to this?  Also, if heart attacks does get implemented, the probability of occurrence should be like 0.000001% every 12 hours.  If not, I suspect lots of rage in the near future.

Sometimes you can be too realistic...

what?

[dimitri3p0 99]

I think the number of ways to die, natural and otherwise should be as extensive as the Dev's can/want to make it. IMO more causes of death the merrier!

I've had an EKG.

Yeah it didn't happen to me so it's a feeling. (If it happens i'm gonna be pissed)

Heart attack by definition is something i don't want to see ingame.

Like walking through the woods,irregular pulse...unconcious....dead.

It's a bit too much on the realism side...

[Barack Obama 215]

I can imagine it now:

 

>sees zombie

>has heart attack

>encounters another player

>has heart attack

>eats can of beans

>has heart attack

>hears a gunshot

>has heart attack

Does the heart attack put you into an unconcious state for a short period of time? This could be a use for the defibrulator.

 

If it's currently an instant death then that just sucks I guess, but I think your character should be notified that there is a sharp pain in their chest or something, so that way you would know that a heart attack is iminent and you'll need a friend to quickly find a defibrulator. Cool ideas :)

 

Oh and I'd love to see some evidence of this happening because I haven't experienced this one yet.

Realism? How often do you have heart attacks. I personally think its a FUCKING HORRIBLE STUPID ASS FUCKING IDEA. Will probably (FUCKING HOPEFULLY) be removed due to rage.

 

Or modified to the point it never happens.

It should be VERY restricted on what causes it.  Maybe due to significant injury and low blood, I could see that. A dose of Epinephrine MIGHT cause it if you don't really need it, but would be pretty unlikely.  The Defibrillators wouldn't cause it because if they are like the AEDs in real life they are attached to a person, scans the rhythm and then determines IF a shock is necessary.  You CAN'T use an AED on a person with a normal rhythm, they are idiot proof and can not shock people unless they NEED it.

 

I'm wary of it, but want to know exactly what the game designers have implemented before I criticize it.

[soulfirez 901]

i dont know just watching that video withrocket talking to sacreil the whole idea seemed pretty cool it also sounded very deep indeed (ps cpr is coming as well) it wont be a random thing ( well apart from when bugs strike of course) it is very much linked to how you keep your character healthy (eat drink rest dont run 50km in a stint with heavy load)

 

People ask what the devs doing to lessen KOS nothing really except making the game realistic enough to either inspire the player to think deeply about what he is doing to stay alive or maybe scare of those not willing to try survive realisticly in a SURVIVAL GAME..

Remember that this is a zombie apocalpyse. You're running around with gear all the time, putting lots of stress on your body. Not to mention the odd firefight or two. The human body isn't as amazing as you think it is. I understand your aggrevation over this, but I don't think it should be removed. I'd rather see it become an extremely rare event.

First of all don't assume what I think please and thank you. Secondly, dafuq? How many soldiers have heart attacks in combat. <_< These are fucking idiotic zombies, not trained intelligent soldiers. Which still wouldn't give you a heart attack easily.

Their will be a 1000 ways to die parody for DayZ one day.

[jamiereid_wow@hotmail.co.uk 46]

I heard they are adding death by old age; cancer or death in your "sleep". Along with alzheimer's, stroke's, an act of god such as being hit by lightning or cows falling from the sky!

So in an alpha where loot doesn't respawn, and you are killed by stairs, ladders, 5 foot falls, glitching zombies, hackers, massive desync, someone decided "Hey! Let's add HEART ATTACKS to the list!"

 

seriously, I don't need one more potentially glitched out form of death to worry about at this point :/

 

I'm not bitching or complaining. Just really confused at their priorities here.

You are a fit person. You cannot die from a heart attack, you cannot die randomly from heart failure. The first thing that happens is that you pass out.

 

Maybe you should learn a little bit more about cardiac arrest. Trauma such as blunt forces to the chest, gunshot wounds, and most importantly extreme blood loss, can all cause cardiac arrest. Its incredibly common in ER rooms, you just don't hear about it the same way you do about someone dropping dead from heart disease.

 

A circulatory blockage is merely ONE of the ways bloodflow to the heart can be restricted.

Wow the ignorance in this community. I feel like some of these kids never open a book or leave their parents house. I saw 3....3 fit Army guys have cardiac arrest from unknown heart problems in the desert.

 

Just don't ever breed please. 

 

Real life is not like Call of Duty mega soldiers and anime fucking super genome soldiers. A soldier is a human being, a meaty sack of organs with bones to hold them all together.
