Healing

[cj14 189]

I've read a lot of complaints and suggestion regarding the healing system. Saying that they want to be able to apply a Saline or Blood bag to themselves. or asking for the old "200-hp-from-food" system.

 

So I just wanted to let you know that if you eat and drink enough to a dark HYDRATED and light ENERGIZED you'll get a HEALING status and after a while you'll get a HEALTHY one that means you are back at full health...this whole process usually takes around 10 minutes.

 

I've healed myself over 5 times on my Experimental/Hardcore character, is really fast and you don't need any other players. I would say is faster than the old DayZ mod food system.

Thank god this game isn't as noob friendly as the mod was.

i like the new healing system, makes sense you would recover health and regain blood through keeping healthy.  unlike some people who think since they have full color they must have full blood, and therefore health.

I dont think everybody understands the healing system, i shot a guy then ran off, he ran into a building, and i could hear him constantly eating, must of thought it still works the old way

You heard him constantly eating because you have to pretty much eat and drink 3 days worth of supplies until you are stuffed to get the healing/healthy buff.  I think it is you who doesn't understand the new healing system.

You don't need to eat much...you need to eat like a full box of cereal, drink a water bottle and sit for a sec to regain energy...then you'll start recover. You sure you understand what are we talking here?

That might work if you are already hydrated and energized but if you aren't, you have to gorge yourself to get that healing/healthy buff.

yeah i understand it pretty well thanks.  
my statement to his eating habits was that after he got shot that is when he chose to binge eat, much like you would in the mod.  However in the standalone you would typically binge eat in advance, to get your status up to healing/healthy, so if you get shot you can just bandage at let the healing process start right away

I doubt most players think ahead and always run around with the healthy status.  Look at how many people post and cry about being killed in Berezino and Elektro every day, LOL.

You obviously don't play enough or don't even try to get healthy, because last time I got the healthy status was from eating about 5 cans of food and drinking 5 sodas. Last time I played about 2 days ago I got onto experimental and had the healty status 5 minutes into spawning. If you aren't eating and driking as much as you can whenever you find it, then it''s another story. People complain it's hard to achieve the status but they only eat and drink to remove the hungry and thirsty status, then keep food and drink in their inventory until they go hungry and thirsty again, that's just assinine.

thats why i think some people dont understand the eating/healing system, because they die too easily not realising their health is low, thinking they are in good shape because they have full blood.

to be honest i didnt fully understand it until about 2 weeks ago when i seen a video that explained the blood and health systems, as well as the difference between not being hungry, and fully fed (energized)

Actually, I always roll with the healthy status but most of the people I end up playing with do exactly as you mentioned and only eat and drink to remove the hungry and thirsty statuses.  Also, playing on a full or nearly full server makes it a lot more difficult to find enough food and drink to get the healthy status within 5 minutes of spawning.  Obviously, you spawned on an empty or low pop server.

Depends on where you spawn/where you go/how lucky you are.

 

Typically though, those who aren't smart enough to eat everything in sight to get to healthy are the same people who aren't smart enough to get off the coast.  Usually even on a busy server the next couple of towns inland are untouched.  Even then, I've gone into Elektro on a 40 player server and scrounged up enough food to at least get dark green energized.

 

As far as luck, you really just need to find a bag of rice and find the nearest stream/pond/pump and you're set to be healthy.  This can (and has) happen within the first couple of minutes of the game.

Oh yeah, it totally depends on luck where you spawn and if the places nearest to you haven't been cleaned out already.  

 

Yesterday on the experimental server I've been playing on I spawned in Svetlojarsk and it was untouched.  Within 5 minutes I was healthy and had a Blaze 95 with plenty of ammo.
