Hotkeys for Bandaging/Morphine/Painkillers

[[email protected] 19]

If it's too much of an issue serverside to use the old system, can we not just set up hotkeys for this so we don't have to go through the gear and hope it works? Or can custom hotkeys not be made for this type of stuff?

SO in reallife you just shout "Bandaging" and the Bandage magically wraps arround you?

You need to search in your backpack too first i find it good the way it is!

I don't understand the problem. The new inventory system works great for me. Some people have complained that it takes longer because they now have to access their inventory page, but for those of us who store all our food and drink and stuff in our backpacks, it's a bit easier, since we can just pop the food in our inventories and use it right then. Infact, even with medical supplies, I find it faster to go into my inventory and use an item than I did trying to scroll through the context menu.

There's been a mess of threads about how the gear selection isn't working correctly (may or may not be the result of outdated servers). You already have hotkeys for binoculars/night vision, and going into the gear selection forces you into the crouched animation if I remember right. Which would make you a larger target.

Everything works fine for me maybe its just people who cant update right or servers which arend up to date but the new system is more realistic and just great! I often drink when i dont want to drink or such

are you serious...

if you are stuck on the real life factor, tell me, if you are running from zombies.. are you going to stop running, crouch down and have to navigate where your bandages are?

the realism in this game is like none other but not everything has to be realistic. If you were running in real life you would try to shift through your backpack and run at the same time if you desperately needed something.. crouch down out of nowhere while being chased.

Fun > everything else. Fun, for any developer, should be the major priority of their game. Just because we breathe air in real life doesnt mean we need a breathing system ingame where you have to constantly press a button to gasp air just to make it realistic

I think this a good idea especially with a scenario with friends when you are running away and you would simply scroll wheel bandage while running and while your friends aggro'd zombies, now it takes a good extra 4-5 or so seconds (which can be alot) just to access inventory.

of course i have no idea if hotkeys can be implemented anyway..

It simulates the time and attention needed to do it as it is.

You don't run from zombies, bandage yourself on the fly all while shooting at zombies.

Definite no. You need to concentrate on your backpack and therefore lose track of your surroundings for a brief moment. Its a major part of the gameplay. Same for looting.
