liukang168 4 Posted May 15, 2012 the temperature indicator, will show us the danger of getting an infection ... cold blood = getting ill. But cold could also mean you are freezing, and while freezing aim should suffer from it ... just some addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shwat 3 Posted May 15, 2012 If you're getting sick, in most cases you won't get "cold blood." You're more likely to get a fever (which is generally the body's response to infection) and you'll experience crisis/break cycling. In crisis, your body temperature is at its highest during the fever. When the crisis breaks, your body temperature returns to normal until the next cycle starts or the infection is gone. Some fevers don't do this, but I seriously doubt rocket would go to so much trouble to give you different types of fevers.Basically, if you get sick you'll have "the chills" until your body heats up to a certain point, but that doesn't mean your blood is cold. In the case of a fever, it means your body is raising its temperature above its normal level. It's a way for your body to fight infection.Technicalities aside, if an illness system is added then I think it should be a serious annoyance but not something you could easily die from. You can live with a fever for quite some time, and if you have a fever in the first place it means your body is fighting the infection. Most illnesses of that sort should pass on their own over time. While you have them, you should have periodic shaky aim and maybe even random sneezing sounds (may alert zombies). It's more incentive to work with a group beyond the blood bags.

gregor (DayZ) 95 Posted May 15, 2012 That's interesting note. Would be cool to see some survivors running around in expensive fur coats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital 5 Posted May 15, 2012 No, the temp indicator indicates your temperature, not sickness. IE: if you are standing still for too long at night, you will freeze to death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not fully enabled yet but by the weekend it will be, and if it’s wet, you’ll start to get colder. It won’t have a massive effect on your character, but you can get an infection which will cause you problems later on. So it’s again, just another subtle thing you have to be aware of. Not as imminent as, say, running into a zombie, but it’s just one of those ‘back-of-your-mind’ things you need to be aware of.So you are wrong, you will get illness due to cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
