Aruze 18 Posted September 15, 2020 Currently the ingame health system is not very balanced. You can get shot and lose alot of health, but your blood only goes down when you are bleeding. after which your character always regenirates blood making bloodbags meaningless, even using a saline bag sometimes makes little sence because you just wait 5-10 minutes and u got all your blood back. So changes to the health system would be thus: Adding a "blood plague" to the game, icon indicator over your blood icon to show you have the blood plague. you would get the blood plague by geting hit by zombies, if they make you bleed you have a chance to get the blood plague. its effects: Stops your blood from regenirating. How to fix it: Get a blood transfusion from someone who does not have the blood plague. also, Change the icon ingame from the bacterial "you are sick" icon to something more specific please, and make it look and feel more fun and interactive, maybe color the icons differently, purple/green/red etc and give them each their own indicators to show you what sickness you have. Also, the current health system ingame Feels nice when you shoot someone, BUT currently there are alot of guns that can One shot you regardless of you having plate carriers or max tier helmets like the Mosin and the Winchester and possibly more. Adding more health to Specific items such as the plate carrier or the tactical or assault helmets , or any helmets so they can tank at least one hit before you die would be wonderful! Also, Please if u hit someone in the head who has a big massive helmet like the tactical or the assault helmet, it should become badly damaged and you should be "knocked unconcious" also you should never be able to be "one-tapped" So in summary: add in the blood plague to balance the blood regeniration rate, and fix the one tapping with guns while heavily geared. you should be able to tank shotgun shells, or mosin rounds with a high tier helmet or plate carrier. Also: please add some more optional wearable armour like you would see a Skater boy use , like having knee pads or elbow pads, to add to the overal Health pool of your character. the current Health pool in the game is Atrocious, if you could put stuff on your character that increase his health pool that would help alot. There are so many ways for you to die ingame, and thats good! but we need a way to balance that and make it more fun and interactive. Such as shooting someone in the head who has a high tier helmet would knock them out and thus you can bind them up. Anyway: Fundimentaly im asking for the blood plague, the rest is just feedback from a person who has played dayz for over 2000 hours. maybe adding in a full Knight's armor u can only find in castles, could be amazing in gearing up your character, make him noisy but also make him gain alot of HP and make him resistant to small arms fire and melee weapons such as those that knock you out. shovel etc. that would be amazing. but we need more equipment slots on our character like Arm/Knee slots for pads or armor like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way. If you get shot, lose 3/4ths of your blood and finally stitch yourself back up (after dealing with zombies as well) it definitely takes longer than 10 minutes to get your blood back. 5-10 minutes is way, way off. This blood plague idea may have merit, but it seems like a mod idea. Not something that needs to be added to vanilla, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drgullen 597 Posted September 18, 2020 Yeah, I'm with @Parazight on this one. I think it works well the way it is. If you have lost so much blood that your blood icon is flashing, you will lose consciousness a few times until you creep back up into non-flashing red, but from there, it will take well over an hour to get back to 100% blood. I like that system. If you're on some community server that has tweaked these things, then sure, maybe you regen it a lot faster, but in vanilla, it's a long time.

Aruze 18 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the responses guys, i agree that it does take longer than 5-10 minutes , but you hardly even feel like you need to attend your blood levels. Anyway, was a long shot with the blood plague thing, i personaly only play vanilla servers so im not much for modded. i had a couple more suggestions in mind; Being able to pick up Chicken corpses and carry them in your inventory, and be able to pick them up into your hands and run around with a chicken, or throw it. Would add a little gameplay, make things more fun. Apologies about my previous post, it was written quickly and with bad accuracy. Possibly also; being able to take a trophy of an animal after you skin it, possibly crafting a helmet out of it, would be fun running around with a massive Cow head on your head, or a Stag to mount on your wall in your base. But... im sure you guys are just going to say the same thing, Modding community will take care of it right? Edited September 20, 2020 by Aruze 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can carry fish, why can't we carry chickens? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parazight 1606 Posted September 20, 2020 Yes. I want to be able to pick up, store, throw, and choke chickens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
