Black Dynamite 75 Posted February 20, 2014 Oh lawdy. This community is so funny. As if the players aren't doing something to cause their characters to have heart failure. Just because the mechanics of it aren't immediately understood, everyone goes into meltdown. Just chill out and quaff a bottle of disinfectant. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) put heart attacks in the fucking game? Its just fucking annoying, random bullshit. The fucking game does not even have Id wish they take the swearwords out of OP. But he seems to be pre-alpha state so there is hope.

TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Heres a video where Dean explains checking pulse and the defib. Skip to 8:55 http://www.twitch.tv/sacriel/c/3713052 Listen to him carefully he says the way it is now is just that..."for now" plus there adding CPR and blood pressure kits and more.

Warheart 17 Posted February 20, 2014 Even i see the point of this heart attack feature. I still dont support this feature or maybe better to add it in future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Even i see the point of this heart attack feature. I still dont support this feature or maybe better to add it in future?How are they supposed to add it in the future if they don't test it out in the experimental (testing) servers? They have to try it first. Everything is subject to change! C'mon people. Edited February 20, 2014 by TEST_SUBJECT_83 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pillock 850 Posted February 20, 2014 I assume you'll only get cardiac arrest if you've been beaten senseless or shot, and lost a lot of blood? There's no way that diet or physical over-exertion could cause a heart attack in the timeframe of an average DayZ life, and it would be ludicrous for the game to use heart attacks as a deterrent to players doing too much running! I cannot believe that that's how it'll work, and I'm not expecting it to be the case. Having watched the video where Rocket talks about heart attacks in the game, it seems that this is a feature for refining the process between being fit and fighting, through to being unconscious, through to being dead - when you suffer a massive trauma like being shot or battered or stabbed. They're making this process more detailed, more complicated, more realistic, and giving more potential for medical emergencies and recovery (rather than simply being unconscious/dead). I don't think it'll have any impact upon people who're just going about their business of looting or traversing the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyandlazy 376 Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone playing experimental exprience a heart attack yet? How does that work? What are your thoughts? Mine. I think it's stupid. Skinny people can get heart attacks but it isn't that common. I think it is a bad add-on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coltonlong 211 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I like it. adds a deterrent to full sprinting across the whole map, plus the need for rest and proper nutrition. i approve of it. Edited February 24, 2014 by LootandLive 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iBane 381 Posted February 24, 2014 I've logged a bunch of time on the experimental branch and haven't experienced anything connected to the heart attack mechanic. I don't think you just randomly get heart attacks. The testing note implied you would get it from shocking a conscious person with a defibrillator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering cause I saw a topic on here of a dude saying he got it randomly. That would be terrible. In real life, no one knows when it's going to happen but if it's implemented that way in the game, then a lot of people are going to be upset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted February 24, 2014 I dont like it. I like to run everywhere not sprint, so anything stopping me from exploring now and again is too much, are we going to have a heart icon beating on screen? Or loss if vision and spasms?Whats the official reason for its inclusion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted February 24, 2014 Keeps certain ( about 99.9% ) players think if they want to overload themselves with unnecessary items. Did they also add heat strokes? Should be more frequent when you carry armor vests and helmets and 100 kg of gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 24, 2014 Ok. Just wondering cause I saw a topic on here of a dude saying he got it randomly. That would be terrible. In real life, no one knows when it's going to happen but if it's implemented that way in the game, then a lot of people are going to be upset. I'm still pretty certain that guy was being trolled by admin messages, not once have I had any of those warnings on experimental after sprinting all over the place. I have speculated that the heart attacks will be tied to shock levels and triggered at some critical level, at which point you're probably already unconscious anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coltonlong 211 Posted February 24, 2014 Well, i saw that post too, and he was very vague about the situation. shock, nutrition, hydration. all these are factors. also, dont let a random shock you with a defib for fun. itll get you killed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theGreatH 11 Posted February 24, 2014 uhhg... Nonone is getting a heartattack out of nothing....Its just if you're unconcious and you have a irregular Pulse, you have the chance of getting a heart attack (cardiac arrest) if you're not treated with a defi.

Yeah that's why I ask because he was a bit pissy at first. I asked cause a mod came in and was like oh noes, the guy is actually right. So as long as it's not random then I guess it's ok. uhhg...

Rick1633 136 Posted February 24, 2014 Stupid as fuck. In real life, if you sprint too long, you are forced to slow down before you have a heart attack. This is so fucking stupid that they think this makes the game better or more real. If they want real, make us slow down. Thus game is fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thus game is fucked.Just to use your tone, Where the fuck are you guys getting the idea that you'll get a heart attack from running too long? the only official statement we have on heart attacks is if defibs are used on you when it's not suppose to than you'll get one.

Rick1633 136 Posted February 24, 2014 But new threads do a better job of pointing out the flaws and issues. People like to read new threads, not old ones. Burying all the problems and complaints with this game in old threads will do nothing to improve the final product, ( if it actually gets finished). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In real life, our body has many safety warnings before we do things that lead to death. We throw up before drinking too much or eating too much, etc. my slowing down comment is just an example that making a young persons body have a heart attack is near impossible. You get sick and lethargic first. So i stand by my comment, this fucking idea for heart attacks is fucking stupid. Our characters cant survive just walking in electro with any more than 10 people on the whole server. So what in gods fuck do we need heart attacks for? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
