grylsyjaeger 171 Posted August 12, 2012 I was thinking at least change the spawning gear so a player had an EMPTY water bottle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost778 18 Posted August 12, 2012 everyone knows you cant just drink from a lake, you could drown. The only safe way is to fill a canteen and use that to drink from. Didnt your parents ever teach you anything? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whyku 11 Posted August 12, 2012 I agree with this. We should be able to drink from a lake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WTF are you smokin? Pass it here! It makes sense, but it might be limited by the engine/game. Could be a nice feature in standalone though. I would definitely support it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragequit (DayZ) 11 Posted August 12, 2012 from what i know of it, it would be super simple.. but just perhaps slipped the attention of rocket/devs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost778 18 Posted August 12, 2012 Well, they could incorporate the same area code to see if your close enough to fill, and if you are, just add code to play a new animation they would have to make of you taking a drink instead of filling. So yeah, its not that complex to do. Maybe soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted August 12, 2012 No. I think you should have to boil the water from a lake on a fire before you can drink it...You should probably be able to drink from those little water wells though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
debiru 27 Posted August 12, 2012 No. I think you should have to boil the water from a lake on a fire before you can drink it...You should probably be able to drink from those little water wells though.I agree, you should not be able to simply drink the water from a lake, you may get dysentery or cholera and other nasty diseases..it's a good idea to have several purification methods: boiling, distillation or using chemicals (Chlorine Dioxide, Iodine, Chlorine, Calcium Hypochlorite and Potassium Permanganate)soo, yeah.. drinking from a lake - no way; drinking from wells - we can have that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted August 12, 2012 pff, a good healthy parasitic infection will cut down on allergic reactions, it's fineI think I'll pass, thanks though...I think having to boil water from the lake would be good. I always feel a bit cheap when I see a lake and drink some water then refill it, even if I don't really have to. Needing a camp fire would make it a little more tricky and time consuming. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jneary@sbcglobal.net 0 Posted August 12, 2012 Make water easier to come by, but like mZLY said it should have a chance to make you sick if you do not boil or filter it before drinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragequit (DayZ) 11 Posted August 15, 2012 i think drinking from a lake to avoid death is as plausible as using morphine to keep running on a broken leg... its desperate times, and we should see supprt for desperate measures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
