medic bag 8 slots [poll]

[qww 287]

Id like to see the medic bag have 8 slots, keep thinking that when in game so i thought id suggest it.

 

 

edit: added reason-

 

I think making it have 8 slots would make it a viable alternative to a protector case, more space/less protection.

Also many medical items are small, and the medical bag of course only holds medical items.

Im not suggesting this to make dayz more easy mode, its just because it makes sense(to me)

 

Please vote yes or no? Thanks

Maybe in 2048 we will have those, and 40 slots yellow case.

Ok stop trolling.

I like the idea too, since there are so many medical items and most of them or all are 1 use, this can help both lonewolfs and groups meds.

Or you could change other stuff, like stackable syringes, and some other small items.

Easy fix, allow only med items in med bag, isnt already like that ? Not playing from a lot.

absolutely no idea what you are talking about,

topic is self explanatory to anyone who knows the game

i use safty cases - a red bag not more with cross or with no cross - and i can only use med-items inside ..... waste of space

You have no idea how useful this would be when you are running from Zino to Balota to patch up a bunch of idiots who got gunned down in an open field

Survival is about deficit. No.

[liquidcactus 719]

I think its fine as is 

[qww 287]

i think medic bag carrying 8 slots would justify continuing to use it instead of a protective case.

 

theres more to my simple suggestion that wanting some easy mode option, my posts on the forums are all about making dayz as difficult as possible.

in my experience of playing the game, 8 slots just seems what i think medic bag should be, just for game play reasons, actually keeping it an item of value in comparison to protective case, of course most of the medical items are very small anyway.

 

something to think about i think anyway, cheers.

...

Sawed off shotgun is 4 Slots (1x4), so the non-sawed-off shotgun is double the length 8 slots (1x8)

Hope that's enough for you too understand.

[qww 287]

i added poll to try and get some more responses to this suggestion, because only a couple on topic replies so far. thanks :)

Oh.

Apologies.

[qww 287]

Oh.

Apologies.

no problem.

 

any more people have a view on this suggestion?

[Parazight 1594]

I'm not sure.  Not all the mechanics are implemented yet.  6 seems to be a decent amount.  Perhaps change to 8 while also changing more of the medical items to 2x1 or 1x2.  /shrug

[a_ruttle 199]

Or they could just add different sizes of FAKs, like a small car kit, with gauze, bandages, a scissors, some sterilization stuff, then a 6 slot one then a bigger one

[massacrorBKK 64]

The thing is that all the inventory system looks to be a placeholder for now.

 

I heard that the dev's have in mind to make something completely different for the definitive game.

 

In that term, it seems quite a waste of time to change anything about the inventory systen if they have to change everything again. Even if this change is something simple to implement.

 

Anyway for my part 8 slots is good. Right now if you want all the medical supply you need 2 medic bag, and with your inventory getting messed up every time you are logging in... this is not easy.

I always seem to come up two slots short in the medic bag. A medic bag for only medical items with 8 slots would be great.

Could introduce two kinds.

Just look at my topic :

Part |8]
I explain everything here and i have already state idea about more than 6 slow medic bag.
Why ?

Cause RIDICULOUSLY SMALL items take a single slot in DayZ while others 10 time bigger also take one (and should not take more)
It mean place become ridiculously impossible to get, mainly with all the more new objects, actually just bandage and blood stuff is enough, but don't forget that soon we will get more decease, even from water, cold weather will affect us, same as rain, maybe possibility to contract a decease just by getting in a place where their is a lot of players, so yes based on the fact that more object are coming, fact that too small object already take too much place for theirs size and that object that are actually present but that we don't mind about cause they have no functions yet will soon start to be NEEDED (not just a plus, but really needed, mainly with the too fast starvation and decease system we will not have the time to look for those object on the map).
Also google "First Aid Kit" on google image and you will see that they ALL have 10 time more objects inside than the one in DayZ...

 

So the best thing will be to have a 4 external slow of the bag and 8 internal slot AND another bigger model which have 6 external slow and 10/12 internal slot !

 

A small one (8 internal slot) : http://www.ffas.com.au/images/Hiking%20First%20Aid%20Kit.jpg And YES this is a SMALL one like we have on the game actually
For curious who want to know what is inside : http://www.ffas.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=46&osCsid=9068b97baa1338ac80cc18959ff71abe

 

And here we have a bigger one (12 internal slot) : http://aoa-adventures.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/first-aid-kit.jpg

For curious : http://aoa-adventures.com/creating-a-basic-first-aid-kit/

 

In fact a REALLY SMALL one in real life http://www.emergencyid.com.au/sites/emeridau/files/imagecache/pmain/product/Small%20Emergency%20ID%20First%20Aid%20Kit.JPG (something that will take no more than a single slot compare to the game)
Can fin way more objects than the 4 slot one in DayZ :

http://www.emergencyid.com.au/medical-alert-id-products/first-aid-kit-emergency-id-small-personal-size

 

 

 

And for me the issue is more that too small object should take less place, a new inventory system should be needed...
Cause yes even if a can opener have the same lenght than a can of food...
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1131/754213475_53acce2736.jpg
The can is also 10 time larger, seriously how many can opener you can fit all next each others before getting the same dimension as a can ? probably 10...
Cause we talk about this : http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/old-can-opener-hand-15489863.jpg
Not about this : http://www.blogcdn.com/www.urlesque.com/media/2009/02/canopener_1.jpg

 

A real bag is 3D it is not flat, and it can fit way more object than what we have in DayZ, try to find the same size bad than the biggest one on DayZ actually and fill it with the same maximum amount of can (which should be a standard for a single slot) than you can in DayZ, it will be far to be full...

So yes but a WAY BETTER place management/saving system and hell yes for a way more slot update for the medic bad and also a bigger variant...

playing the game versus instawin button? i'd prefer to play the game, because, you know, thats what i enjoy about it :)

[stielhandgranate 480]

Something like this:

Or this:

With a civilian variant that spawns in hospitals like this:

Would be great. Give it a limitation of only medical items and the same space of the High cap Assault Vest and you're good to go.

That's a valid point...I also enjoy the challenge, but are 2 extra slots in a medic bag really an 'instant win' button?
