Solo Blood Transfusions (syringe or IV)

[css_god@yahoo.com 543]

Currently you need two people to perform a transfusion, for a lot of us this is not a problem as we play with friends and so on but as much of us there are in groups it would be easy to say there are even more solo players.

Now two people performing a transfusion is not a problem, it's actually quite intuitive but where does that leave the solo players? Having to trust other random players to tranfuse them? I don't think so lol.

It would be nice for those of us who choose to play in solidarity if there were a way and I have a possible solution for that which would require more than just a blood bag.

You would need to also pickup a syringe or an IV somewhere to transfuse yourself. This is just a rough idea but I believe it should use some serious consideration.

What do you guys think?

P.S. I realize there is a similar thread for this but it did not introduce the idea of having to use another item in conjuncture with the blood bag to solo perform it.

Considering how bloody hard it is to canulate yourself, no.

I have to say with decisions obsessed with making this mod as "realistic" as possible, their are some rather unrealistic tedious restrictions. Blood transfusions are more efficiently done with another person aiding you, but anyone with some basic experience with it can do it them selves. Speaking from a pure common sense and coming from a family with medical backgrounds (my self excluded how ever). So yea I'd say letting you administer it self isn't such a big deal.

Also pretty sure it's difficult to administer morphine properly, fire weaponry, etc. Riis.

I walk into a super market and eat everything and get 1K+ blood. I don't have a problem with the current blood transfusion take another person as long as it continues to restore all the blood.

I would like to see each blood pack restore a set amount. I would also like to see them take blood from the applier then too (say a 3:1 ratio). Make it an actual in field transfusion.

Why would it take blood from the person applying the transfusion? Its a bag filled with blood, aka "Blood bag". The blood from the bag is transfused into the player. The fact that it restores you to full blood is why they are so valuable, and lowering it would require you to carry more bags in our already limited space capacity.

Realism > functionality, that is the point of this game.

Fire weaponry, maybe..

Administer morphine from an Autoinjector? Google "Morphine Autoinjector 10 mg", and tell me that its difficult to do that properly. Especially when these autoinjectors has instructions on how to use them written on the side of them, and these instructions are written so that even a Jarhead could understand them.

Finally, if you think common sense makes it easy to take a 14G maybe 16G canule/IV, put it into a vein, having a sterile enviroment and not fucking up. Then you're god and I'll name my baby after you.

I don't know what game you are playing but last I checked there are zombies trying to kill everyone. Before you say things you should really understand the context in which realism is okay.

You don't sound like a very experienced gamer if you are willing to sacrifice functionality in a game for overbearing realism.

Last I checked in real life a flashlights don't last forever, nightvision doesn't last forever, a car doesn't consume a full tank of fuel in 20 minutes nor does it drive 10 kmh max in grass. This list could go on and on and on but do you know why these things work?

Because they are functioning elements in a video game, your views of the separation are obviously askew.

I think people who want extreme realism for the blood transfusion idea should be prepared to realize that in the real world with out proper storage blood packs last about 4 hours before they are useless. Also blood types come in to play, wrong blood type, body rejects it.

ok, lets me put this so you can understand it.

You want to be able to do solo bloodtransfusions so that you dont get others to do it for ya. Thus making this game alot easier than its supposed to be, and very unrealistic. That is not functional, that is stupid.

Now, I should let you know that english is not my native language, so my Realism > functionality remark might've been misleading.

This game should strive to be as realistic as possible, while retaining functionality. That make sense?

And you must be a newbie to gaming since you don't understand that this is an alpha and stuff like batteries etc.. will be added later.

[/quote']Exactly, there is a point where some realistic elements to something are okay but (to me atleast) there is a clearly drawn line in the sand where that needs to end.

It's not unrealistic to self administer blood. In an an emergency situations it's very possible (though possibly messy and obviously risky). Again though, if you want to strive for realism then blood packs will not exist in this mod since there is no power and blood lasts about 4 hours with out proper cold storage. Also eating a can of beans will not restore your blood in a matter of seconds. Please stop using this argument.

[/quote']Simple, make them an extremely rare and unlikely spawn, problem solved, next?

P.S. Items do spawn in this game, not very realistic is it? Guess what though, it has good functionality.

This is 100% conjecture, you have no idea what they are going to do.

There are some things in the game that reward working with others for a reason , this is one of them.

If you are on your own grab some hunting gear and go get some cooked meat.

pls make game easier
