Obsolescence 129 Posted August 1, 2012 Cooked meat heals for 800 blood. Personally I think this is too high. The average animal kill is going to net you 5 meat or so. That's, 5 x 800, so 4K blood. Canned food gives you just 200 blood.I'd prefer to see cooked meat give you 400 blood, or at the very least, 600 blood. Alternatively, leave the healing at 800 but only allow someone to eat if there food need is below 50% or so (prevents players from downing infinite meat-steaks like they're Takeru Kobayashi).What do yall think? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leodimas 31 Posted August 1, 2012 As a trained cook and chef for 6 years now, i can tell you the amount of nutrition you get from old tin cans like the ones we find in Dayz, is about 1/3 to 1/4 the amount of calories and energy you get from a big fresh 300g steak. So gaining 800 from meat and 200 from cans is in my opinion OK. But i would not mind seeing those numbers go up in size. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dickhat 99 Posted August 1, 2012 I think it's already too hard to raise blood and seeing how you can be knocked out whenever you are under 9000 makes this a no-no.Make normal canned food recover 500 blood and cooked meat stays at 800. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocu 24 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Actually 600 blood from a meat wouldn't be that bad. Would make getting blood up a little more difficult. But keep in mind that your average cow (that packs a mighty 8 pieces of meat) isn't wandering around everywhere, usually they are near villages on a very open field. Which means you could be exposed to 542 snipers by that time. In fact, I have actually died before that way. Edited August 1, 2012 by Rocu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obsolescence 129 Posted August 1, 2012 Where is your sense of adventure? Since I aquired hunting gear I've had precisely 0 difficulty recovering my blood whether I start at 4000 blood or 8000 blood. You can shoot me with a 7.62 NATO for 8K blood and within 1 minute I'm back at full health as if nothing had ever happend. Why would it be bad to make it slightly more challenging to recover from mortal wounds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obsolescence 129 Posted August 1, 2012 All of your ideas suck.Bad? Mad? I can't decide.I didn't realize most people were so terrible at this game that halving the blood recovery from cooked meat would cause all of this QQing and rage-trolling.If they reduced the blood recovery for everything by half I would be fine. If you wouldn't then you must be really struggling to maintain yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you wouldn't then you must be really struggling to maintain yourself.It is the only way to heal yourself up quite quickly, why dont you bitch about blood bags, they restore your whole blood level in seconds and only use one single inventory space, thats 15 cooked meat which you only can cook if you have a hatchet, matches and hunting knife and that shit is way harder to get then a single blood bag in the NW of Cherno.

Not to mention, attempting a blood transfusion in combat is risky for both players.You can easily eat 6 cooked meats in combat within a span of 15 seconds. It isn't even slightly difficult.One cooked meat can heal you for almost the same blood as a 9mm round bodyshot does in damage [+800b vs -889b].Am I the only one who doesn't think that is a good thing?

kulin 10 Posted August 1, 2012 Then you open your inventory in combat to heal? If i do that my char is going into crouching position and stops moving. Does not sound like a good idea to me while someone is shooting at me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scratchz 20 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't mind the blood recovery of meat brought to 500, it be easier calculating the amount of blood you'll get but less rewarding though, but if they do they should balance it out.Like, chicken meat restores 200 blood but can be eaten twice, goat meat 400, sheep meat 500, cow meat 1200 but takes up 2-3 slots or something.I'd much rather prefer this than reducing the overall blood recovery. In DayZ I just got myself loads of steak and am very proud of it because of the reason it recovers so much blood. So the fact that it recovers so much gives you a much prouder feeling as that it'd heal only 400. Plus, it's very hard to find an animal.One time I searched like 2 hours before I finally found a goat, I shot it because I had no silent weapon and died afterwards of starvation and a zombie pounding my ass.I don't have a partner to use a bloodbag on me either, and finding alot of food cans is hard and can be very risky. You'll heal yourself up a little at the risk of being shot and die. Than you've sought for those very needed food cans for nothing, and if you ate all your food cans you won't have any food left to fill up your hunger which'll make you starve too. Unless you're lucky and find another can of food after getting to 12000 blood, but the chance to get shot is still high than.
