Nick_Nac 2 Posted July 27, 2012 So, I've been playing the game for a couple weeks now. As an eve player, I'm absolutely jazzed to find a fun F/TPS with a genuine death penalty. I finally managed to put together a survival kit (hatchet, knife, matches), flashlight shottie, ALICE pack, etc... I manage to trudge my way to the NW airbase (finally!). I had been at like 1300 blood upon leaving elektro (pvp hurts, yo). Through hunting on my way up I had 12000 blood, absolutely full.So I hike out onto the airbase, pull a couple zombies into a hangar, blast them, ONE zombie hit me ONCE. BAM - broken leg.I'm familiar with the HTFU mentality (eve player, regular eve PVP'er) I'm familiar with loss; and its what makes this mod awesome. However - 12000 blood, one hit, broken leg? just... wow.Thats my primary issue is the notion of randomly getting a broken bone when at 12000, I would think the chance should be 0 at 12000, and increase on a linear scale (capping out at an arbitrary % at an arbitrary blood amount; e.g. 50% bone break chance at 1000 blood maybe?)Therein ends the primary content of my post; call it a begrudging bitch, I'm used to loss; I've lost 1.5 billion ISK strategic cruisers, faction battleships, countless smaller ships in EVE - its the nature of the game.INB4 posts about medics/morphine:You're right about morphine, I didnt have any.I did call out for a medic, got one to come all the way to NW base. I logged on - night time server, 7 people logged onto server, as soon as I spawned *BANG BANG BANG* "You Are Dead"Just feels like bullshit is all. Thanks for reading.TL;DR - 1 Zombie hit @ 12k blood should not a broken bone make - EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER./rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick_Nac 2 Posted July 27, 2012 Sorry, I'm at work with an aircard, I use the internet for like a few minutes at a time (load up a shitload of forums posts/articles, shut down aircard due to... monitored bandwidth usage - they dont see what I do, just how much data is uses). Didnt want to spend the time searching for threadsAlso; had to share my personal tragedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buick72 27 Posted July 27, 2012 Yeah I have had that happen to me a few times. Luckily my friends and I usually have at least 1-3 shots of morphine on us so it tends not to be a huge issue. You want to talk broken legs, run around with a double barrel shotgun and almost everyone you shoot will fall over with broken legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blather 0 Posted July 27, 2012 Yeah my favorite was when I broke my legs a 3-hour crawl from a hospital by going prone next to a rock and then standing up. Was going to suicide but luckily a buddy came on Skype and came by to rescue me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thekaiser (DayZ) 17 Posted July 28, 2012 I can sympathise with you. I took out a whole town with a M1014, until a zed crept up and broke by leg with one hit. I was stranded with nothing. Felt rough but I guess it would represent (something not represented in game) a zombie ripping out a part of your leg meaning you had to limp/crawl.Perhaps a limping animation would be better than just crawling?

DayZPvP.com 143 Posted July 28, 2012 Nothing like the sound of your own leg breaking for no reason. I heard my arm break in real life once, but it was during a violent snowboarding crash so I was not surprised at all.DayZ gives you that "did I really just break my own leg WTF" moment.

Nick_Nac 2 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) IRL...Totally healthy man or woman. Trips on a rock. Breaks ankle./solvedSo why is this even a valid rant?Totally healthy man or woman, Trips on a rock. Breaks ankle.Injects dose of morphine, Leg *ankle* is no longer broken. Edit: lol, legs arent ankles, silly.- Arguing based on realism vs non realism is silly, its purely a question of what I (and apparently others) view as a silly game mechanic.Havent had the pleasure of a door breaking my legs, so that will be fun to look forward to.Side idea, Random bone breaks: how about breaking it down to 4 limbs, if you break one leg, you can limp slightly slower than walking. Break both legs, crawl. Break left arm, cant use 2 handed guns, break right arm and your aim is drastically less precise (and you're using your left hand). This pie in the sky idea might not be possible; but it would be a hell of a lot better than randomly breaking both legs.Edit: Also, just thought of it, break both arms... turns you into a hilarious piece of zombie bait, who will either die or very quickly learn about losing zombie in buildings with two entrances. Also, logically, you wont be able to vault.And of course, Morphine will still cure AIDS... I mean Cancer... I mean... yeah, morphine will still cure everything :) Edited July 28, 2012 by Nick_Nac 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
