Blandaid 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Yo, it seems pretty dumb to me that broken bones are both incurable with anything short of morphine and incredibly debilitating. I'm sure by now every DayZ vet has a dozen stories of a small group of zombies breaking a limb and left stranded in some remote village. Considering how morphine spawns so rarely outside of hospitals, this often means a character death. In addition, the removal of side/global chat means you can't even call for help.To be clear, I like the this mechanic. It makes zombies much more threatening, prohibits you from running away from a fight, and punishes the player for a bad/desperate decision (i.e. jumping 15 ft off a ladder to avoid getting shot). However, given how easy it is to get crippled, it makes little sense that it be so difficult to cure.I propose that players be allowed to craft/find a splint to set the leg and heal the bone within a few minutes. It could be made from common materials (wood+bandage) or at least found much more commonly than morphine. If this sounds like too easy an option, perhaps it could only be made at a campfire. The idea is that it won't provide an instant fix like morphine but will still give the player an option besides dieing or spending 3 hours crawling to the closest hospital. I hope its possible to implement a change such as this and I really believe it would provide more depth to the gameplay without diminishing the 'realism' of the zombie apocolypse or survival challenge.
