TheWookieMonster 405 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Their bones are so brittle!! We started playing the game (finally) and during our first hour Sean managed to break his legs from what looked like about a 4 foot drop. Yikes! Fortunately, we managed to get some help from a friendly so I didn't have to find a gun and shoot him. :o At first we thought he as glitched because he could only crawl on the ground. :lol: I'm curious if they have plans to adjust the height you can fall without breaking everything? : Edited February 23, 2014 by abentwookie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knock (DayZ) 111 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) They're probably going to definitely adjust it. I tried to suicide once by jumping off a building, and I was perfectly fine. Felt like I was Hancock. I thought I read somewhere that they adjusted the height from which you could fall, but it must either not be true or it's just not working right yet.

Hutch (DayZ) 116 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) My legs broke last night while I was running across a level open field.No Drop, No Obstacle, Just running and all of the sudden, Boom, "I think my leg is broken"No sticks to be found anywhere nearby. I'm about 6KM from the nearest hospital, though there may be one of the new clinics nearer. In the plus side, The experimental servers now show a status on the inventory screen of "Fracture" to let you know, and you get a periodic status update of "My leg is in a lot of pain", "I think my leg is broken". Though he doesn't specify which leg ;) I'm also getting a strange placeholder status update of "ArmHurtPain" or something like that so I think a zombie broke my arm too.A splint will get me walking but until I find morphine, my character is going to be cusing and complaining that it hurts.

He was a little annoyed about it but I explained that this was just an Alpha version of the game and it would probably change a lot before being released. He hasn't ever even played a BETA game before so I guess he was expecting things to be perfect already. He usually waits until games are released before he buys them. ^_^ My legs broke last night while I was running across a level open field.No Drop, No Obstacle, Just running and all of the sudden, Boom, "I think my leg is broken"No sticks to be found anywhere nearby. I'm crawling to the next town.

I wonder what would happen if you broke both arms and legs? :o Seems like you wouldn't even be able to crawl. I have been pretty cautious about climbing anything or jumping after Sean's incident. I want to see how long I can last with my first character! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to see how long I can last with my first character!My first life was pretty short. I knew almost nothing about the game, so I ended up bleeding to death. I did have a fairly long life recently though. It ended when I went to an airfield and fought another group of people. I rarely get frustrated about the bugs that occur, but there was one I kept getting that almost drove me insane a few weeks ago. In fact, I should probably post a bug report.

That sucks. My brother had something similar happen. Except he bumped is leg on a table, and from what I remember he was bleeding after that. Then he had chemical sickness. I had to treat him with antibiotics for what seemed like a lifetime. Edited February 23, 2014 by Knock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
