strayshadow 81 Posted May 27, 2012 Read a suggestion about a defibrillator earlier and after talking to some people in a server (i think it was Chicago 5) we thought CPR may be a good edition. All players would be capable of administering it using the context menu. Instead of immediately being shown the respawn prompt screen, IF a players wounds weren't too massive, they get a short countdown in which, if CPR is administered they may survive. Probably with the ability to just give up and die rather than wait around if you know no one is coming. I remember being told the real chance of CPR working is 3% (not certain of that!) so it wouldn't be some miracle resurrection spell to bring everyone back. Carrying out CPR would also leave the patient and the person administering it vulnerable so it wouldn't be without its risks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCoolestCat 1 Posted May 27, 2012 Only if the recipient had some impairments because of it. If successful, CPR should cause broken ribs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkMagik 0 Posted May 27, 2012 CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) would have no use in this mod since people are getting shot or eaten alive. I really don't think CPR is going to get the bullets out of someone or somehow magically bring them back to life if they have been eaten alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CPR is pretty much heart attacks. Ok that was some class A bollocks on my part. Also I feel your pain, I was eaten by a rock earlier today =( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkMagik 0 Posted May 27, 2012 Sorry, it was a good idea tho :P It's just that the only time CPR could even be possibly considered in this mod, is when a player falls down, but since they are only unconscious, and there heart is still pumping and they are still breathing, there wouldn't be any need for CPR.

Razor (DayZ) 0 Posted May 27, 2012 Epi-pen is, basically, CPR-in-a-can. That is already covered.Giving it up to a rescourceless action will take away a bit of strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strayshadow 81 Posted May 27, 2012 It wouldn't be for unconsciousness, the Epi-pen wakes up a player. This would be used on a player that has died. It is the exact same mechanic repeated unnecessarily =P I failed to look a bit deeper into it before posting. But that's what this forum is for, you post an idea, you get feedback and people point out the obvious that you managed to miss =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
