Defibrillator unconsciousness

[ThePugman 280]

Hi @ImpulZ,

Could you please give some explanation for then defibrillator’s unconscious system (part of that medical system you have trouble explaining 😉)

I’d been playing for hours with a friend last night, when I found the defibrillator, and was messing around with it. Long story short, I defib’d myself, and was in, what seemed like, a permanent unconscious state. My friend defib’d me again, used an eppy pen, saline, morphine, and so many chest compressions, but I didn’t wake up. I’m sure I read somewhere that you need to defib until they have a strong pulse, but that’s not very helpful when the 2 times we used it, wiped all the power from our batteries.

I quite like the mechanic, and the defibrillator itself is a really cool piece of equipment, but to remain in that state indefinitely seems a little bit broken. In the end, I had to log out, which cause me to die, and respawn on the coast (I was at Tisy Summercamp 😕).

Is this still a WIP? Perhaps 5-15 minutes uncon would suffice. I’d also like to see this kind of unconsciousness happen in other situations. I just think that chest compressions, and eppy pens should at least work whilst in this state.

Theoretically a second application of the defibrillator should wake you back up. Our QA will look into it.

@ImpulZ Thanks for the reply. I know my friend only had a slither of battery left, so maybe there wasn’t enough to fully charge the shock.

Interestingly, in game can be inject different friend adrenaline or morphine? who knows?

If you apply 240 watts (amps? apologies, it's been a while since I could remember the SI unit here) to yourself twice, your chances of death might be high.

In the UK, if I remember right, if the first two attempts are unsuccessful, you attempt 360. In any case, this is a plan suitable for desperate straits only.

BTW, a 9V battery is completely incapable of delivering any of this.

That's why it doesn't work in the game!   it's all about the 9v battery!
