jacobahalls 80 Posted October 2, 2014 I just need to know if this is an actual mechanic because I have been one hit by zombies before after being healthy.Devs just please be honest and just tell us the truth about this game and hiding everything. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammi79 4 Posted October 2, 2014 I think its an unbalanced bare bones mechanic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookie (original) 799 Posted October 2, 2014 Agafor is a total star. And FWIW, in reply to his question at the end, no, I absolutely don't think it's fair that the game is slowly, inevitably killing you, and thereby punishing long life. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted October 2, 2014 No, I don't think it's fair, however I don't think it should be removed, their should just be a way to help fight this deterioration. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfe(^..^) 9 Posted October 2, 2014 It's weird that you mentioned this, because this happened to me for the first time yesterday. My status bars were bright green hydrated/energized/healthy, but I was fighting a group of two zombies and was dead immediately after taking the first hit. I had definitely taken a lot of hits from zombies a few hours earlier as a fresh spawn, but my status bars were telling me that I was totally recovered.

gannon46 788 Posted October 2, 2014 hahaha kind of funny we are doomed the moment we spawn so I guess my toon is going to die very soon I've had him for a long time. if this is true then they need to add that stat to the UI inventory screen so we know or show it in our toons movements like make start moving like a worn out battle beaten survivor sort of like john mclain at the end of diehard.

Elle 562 Posted October 2, 2014 well well this explains a lot - thanks so much for the info and shouldn't we be able to recover these stats over time, sad to think its permanent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IReadTheAgreement 313 Posted October 2, 2014 No, I don't think it's fair, however I don't think it should be removed, their should just be a way to help fight this deterioration. Only one solution. Let us milk the cows dev. We need the calcium for our brittle bones. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgainstAllAutority 126 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) a really nice "research"! however if we talk of "longer u live, the higher death chance u got" formula - its a hard question, that depends not only on the game mechanics and balance (as i remember dayz should be "unbalanced" in terms of realism) but on some sort of philosophy - how does survavialist past experience helps him to survive longer? and how does agressive environment affect his health state? my point of view: 1) the longer character live, more knowledge he recieves, thus his lifecycle should be prolonged 2) obviously agressive environment shortens your life from this "pillars" we have some kind of 2 functions that affect player lifetime, and both of them depend on time alive. However one makes life longer, and another shortens it. I see only one solution - new stat that can switch players "estimated lifetime curve" (maybe moral, maybe "luck", maybe some mix of those two) Edited October 2, 2014 by AgainstAllAutority Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cpanther 221 Posted October 2, 2014 Vitamins.I always thought those will be to recover from an infection.. or maybe flu... if we ever going to have those.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChainReactor 922 Posted October 2, 2014 I'm curious if the devs will mind to shed some lights on this observations, since i think it is really interesting. Props to Aggathor however, that man is doing great videos. If you dont follow his youtube channel already, you should consider to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scriptfactory 620 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I always thought those will be to recover from an infection.. or maybe flu... if we ever going to have those....That is an interesting thought, however vitamins don't usually cure bacterial/viral infections (antibiotics/antivirals) or the flu virus (viral infection, vaccinations, no cure). Calcium and vitamins C & D, on the other hand, all help promote bone health/"growth". Edited October 2, 2014 by scriptfactory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pizuicas 82 Posted October 3, 2014 I am not sure if I see this as a punishment. If you come to think, being hit by zeds over time, will only deteriorate your toon (infection levels?), so it adds another angle for realism. On the other hand, being a survivor for longer periods of time, also should endure your health (especially with the distances you keep jogging and running :P ). Anyhow, the video is just great, and as someone said before...you should be following this guy on youtube. He has tons of good and valuable information!

grindstone50k 208 Posted October 3, 2014 Considering the game is not finished and the medical system is constantly being changed, I withhold judgement. But the data is useful for modifying current gameplay behavior. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefinn 12 Posted October 3, 2014 Not sure, at present it's boring as hell once you are geared anyhow. So having a mechanic that might randomly cut your life short the longer that life goes on might be a blessing (at present). Later on I'd like to see the stat come back over time - even if it's long long periods of time - while in healthy condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yazar8 584 Posted October 4, 2014 We need a Dev to clear this up, apparently there is a feature like this in the game and there is no way to recover your bone status. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
