For the love of god please remove the knock out mechanic

[badger05 41]

Some girl with a pistol just knocked me out in a couple shots even though I out geared her badly. I still had like 10,000 blood but I had to wait there for 30 seconds while she took my own gun and shot me with it. Other times I have got into big fire fights where I went down to 800 blood but never got knocked out. This is game breaking and makes me want to quit the game because I know I'm always only a couple lucky shots away from getting knocked out and losing all my hard earned stuff. It takes the skill out of the game in my opinion I just want some consistency.

[bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204]

Yeah! Come on rocket! We need to be able to always take multiple gunshots with no consequence!

It's about consistency.

[Kar98 27]

If she got the jump on you sounds like you need to be more careful ;)

A fully geared out player should still be scared of that makarov player standing over them

[Obsolescence 129]

I would consider the time you got down to 800 blood the anomoly and this time with the pistol shots the norm. Consider this, if someone walked up and shot you twice in the chest with a 9mm or 0.45 ACP pistol, do you think you would just puff your chest out and smile? No, you'll be dead, complaining to whatever diety you may believe in that this unconcious mechanic isn't fair. It took you decades to get where you were and then someone just shot you twice and that was all it took to put you out of comission. :rolleyes:

Actually your case is no big deal. I got knocked out by a zed @12000 (FULL) in 1 hit and never regained consciousness... 1 zed ate me alive in one hit. I lost some nice stuff because it saw me while crawling and it took that agonizing moment to stand up. That delay in standing got me hit ONCE, and that was all she wrote.

I always thought the knock out, zombie ohko, bleeding, bone breaking, etc. were all driven chance. Everyone has bad luck sometimes.

If they won't remove the knock out mechanic then the only other solution is to join the other snipers in the trees I suppose. I would rather not play like a coward but I will if it's the only real option.

from DayZ wiki:

Causes of being Unconscious:

• A very large amount of lethal damage. (most rifles, sniper rifles, and high military-graded weapons)
  
• Dropping below 3000 blood will cause the player to drift in and out of consciousness (there is a 1 in 100 chance for this, and it is rolled once every second in the game).
  
• Logging in with the Shock condition.
  
• Being hit by a zombie with less than 9000 blood.

That mechanic has never been changed, and there are no bugs in this game, therefor he must be lying.

[drake_hb@hotmail.com 22]

I've heard of many people getting knocked out over 9000 blood, though it's possible they all just had no idea.

Unless the devs themselves are contributing to the wiki, there's no guarantee of accuracy to that page. It's entirely likely that you can get knocked-out by a zombie at any health level, and it just becomes more likely as blood gets lower; even the point where above 9k it's so rare that people testing the mechanic just never happened to get knocked out unless they were below 9k, and just assumed that was the limit.

I know in my own play experience I kept adjusting the blood value I thought you could be knocked unconcious at up over my lives. At first I thought it was 8K, then 9K, and then I believe I was knocked unconcious at 10K, but I don't recall exactly if I was at 10K when that paticular hit occured. I had never read the wiki until now.

[DenverDeCoY 10]

Yes please remove knock out mechanic! And while your at it, maybe make zombies give you hugs and cookies instead of doing damage?

Ooh and maybe guns can shoot rainbows and kittens instead of bullets!!!

[Different 8]

tl;dr killed by girl

uninstall

[Sinoby 39]

I've got knocked out by zombie twice when being over 11k blood, so yeah, the wiki is not correct.

But IMO it is OK to be KO by gunfire, even At high blood level. As others have stated - if you've got outplayed - it's your fault, and the shooter deserves the kill

[Demon20 46]

Please don't take out the knock out mechanic. Please great gods of coolness...leave it in. And if I may ask this...and it's the only CoD kiddie parlor trick I want...please pull the camera back over my body, wide angle...hollywood style...so I can see my unconcious ass being eatin alive. Or see that hot chick 3d model looting my gun off me and killing me with it after she teabags my face.

That's all I really want for Xmas Rocket...oh...and my two front teeth.

Out.

[Boyos (DayZ) 15]

You got domed, by a girl, who stole your gun and then killed you with it. Bad player is bad player. If that happened to me i wouldent tell anyone, I would have went down in a blaze of glory taking 3 people with me.

[Sinoby 39]

At least OP didn't alt-f4, which is nice to see nowadays

[slyder73 94]

No, when you get hit by bullets there is a good chance you go into shock or get knocked out. Pretty realistic.

Do you suggest the game allow multiple bullet hits with no realistic effects?

Just avoid being shot.

[WhiteTigerShiro 25]

And replace the ATV with Unicorns! You repair them with magical horseshoes instead of tires, and instead of gasoline you feed them Skittles (because everyone knows that Unicorns are powered by rainbows).

Or shoot, at least lie about it. Because on hind sight, it was clearly Chuck Norris, and definitely not a girl. Edit: In fact, anytime I tell a story about how I got killed from now on, Chuck Norris did it. Maybe Clint Eastwood. Edited July 31, 2012 by WhiteTigerShiro

Totally, totally this. The formula for this "random" status seems to have gone through the absolute roof in this latest patch, with zombies punches as well as nerfed guns.

[Radiix (DayZ) 17]

If u don't like it. Go back to Call of Duty ....

[Kowalski (DayZ) 19]

I just got knocked out with 11K blood by a zombie through a wall!
