zDevon 6 Posted May 26, 2012 So you are low on blood and supplies, but your wound is managing under the comfort of a bandage. Civilization is no where close, and the journey would be just horrid with the blur and shakiness of a low blood count.What saves you from this in (and out of) character doom?Blood cell regeneration!I myself am not much of the science type, but I know enough to say that a static blood count in such a critical state can't be realistic. Irl, lost blood cells are replenished by newer ones eventually - so why can't that happen here?I say, that if under 5,000 units of blood, your blood should rise at a rate of maybe 5 units/second. That's 300 units of blood per minute. And, it would only go to a maximum of 8,000 (According to the effect list here, http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blood, 8,000 seems fair). The other 4,000 would need to be regained as normal.Discuss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Kyrah 1110 Posted May 26, 2012 It does replenish whenever you eat something, if i can't get my hand on blood bags i usually eat whatever i can find.To take a real world example, it's not recommended to give blood more than once every 2 months, this gives you an idea of how fast blood replenish in the roal world.

And how much a pain (and a danger!) that traversing Chernarus can be with constant blurs, pass outs, and severely shaky screens.As to your example, kudos, but I still think this would be a nice little feature. The increment rate could be dropped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Kyrah 1110 Posted May 26, 2012 Well i'm not a big fan of the food can replenish style, it would be better if... blood replenish by itself as long as you are > 50% in food. After all your body need raw material to produce new blood cells, it has to come from somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine that is true for the real world?I also don't really like how much of a gushing wound these "infected" make.Personally, I'd kinda rather like to see them actually infecting you with something when being hit, rather than tearing off a Royale with Cheese, leaving you to lose blood at such an extreme rate.
