Some additions to sicknesses

Recommended Posts

As I'm currently sitting in home probably having a flu I started having thoughts about how manageable diseases are in DayZ. Yesterday I was feeling horrible and was moving sluggishly, but characters ingame aren't really affected by it besides sneezing, coughing and other just annoying symptoms, which don't pose a direct threat.

But now what if colds, flu, cholera etc. took a toll on your movement speed and food consumption? We all know, that when sick you probably won't finish parkour courses and also organism has to fight this disease, which will give a need for increased energy.

That's why sick people should have their movement speed reduced just a bit (capped out to the speed of slightly wounded) without actually needing that health loss to get. Maybe some people will be angry, but hey, it's DayZ.
