Unconscious state

[gannon46 788]

you think they'll always make it slow to get back moving. as it is right now it sucks usually if i go unconscious i usually know i'm dead theres no recovering unless you got a friend near by. i've never personally been knocked out in RL. I wonder how folks react to it in a survival situation if your in a battle like war do you set there and get you head straight and go back to the fight or do you wake up and realize your lifes at stake and get back to the fight. i know i was in an explosion that burned like 25% percent of my body and i blacked out and ended up a couple hundred yards from the explosion i wasn't blown that far i ran and don't remember how i got there and folks said i ran faster than anyone they ever seen before adrenaline is a bitch i would like to see this added as well though it would bring back some memories i would like to see all kinds of responses to trauma rather than falling over with an hour glass and 5 seconds to come back in action. maybe i'm completely wrong and it wouldn't work for the game ideas would be appreciated.

Hmm....there has been a few times I woke back up. As crazy as this sounds, example, I was over at the miltary base in SW. I was attacked by another player, then managed to kill there avatar. Shortly after I went unconscious, I then started pressing bottons and I came back....no one else was arounds. I then began eating and drinking to recover from grey screen. I have no idea how I managed to come back, I also dont know if hitting the keys helped...but I came back.  

 

So I know for a fact there are cases were you can come back on your own. Your not 100% screwed.

 

As far as recovery goes and effects after being knocked out, there is often time grey blurry screen....thats away the game tells you. Your avatar is barely hanging on to life.....you may want to stop and eat/drink til you get color back. But yeah the game is not 100% realistic.

 

But my exp about being shot multiple times your chances are really bad, so your better of just respawning.

 

I think I have been knocked out 2 times RL, one time it was deliberate.....there is no game really that can discribe it. I thought I was gone for hours even though it was just a split second. DayZ is def no were close realistic in many respects, I think some players like to think it is....not me, I been through too much in my life to know its really not....and maybe should not be.

As long as you're not bleeding when unconscious you should wake up but usually without the help of another player the chances of living are pretty low.

Once, I was in electro having a gun fight with a KoS - Bandit. I killed him with my magnum and fell then unconscious. I woke up again, but had no bandages. I tried to find bandages and zombies kept hitting so I kept bleeding. I fell unconscious once again. This kept on repeating for like 5 times, fall unconscious -> get back up again for 10 seconds. I have no idea how I survived that but yeah..

I was unconscious once for about 20 minutes and finally gave up and respawned. What's the upper limits on being unconscious? That occasion was pretty ridiculous, and it's happened to me nearly that bad once before but I chose to respawn early rather than attempt to wait it out.
