Food/hunger issues

[Shroom 12]

What happened:

Often, if I haven't played in 12-24 hours, when I log into a server my hunger and thirst are flashing red. This doesn't seem logical to me, as it should only be calculated based on actual playing time to fit within the realistic confines of what the game is (i.e., I realize that servers have a 24 hour day/night cycle, but basing hunger and food on this would not make sense as people can not realistically accommodate their character's needs on a 24 hour basis).

I don't know if this is a glitch or not, or a gameplay element, but it hardly makes sense to plan a raid on some towns one day, log out with the intention of returning to camp the next day, and finding out that you will no longer have the food to sustain the trip, and now have to use up your remaining supplies just to be able to move.

The other problem is hunger/thirst not saving on exit. I recently logged into a server and immediately noticed my flashing red hunger/thirst, and took care of them. Second, I noticed a horrible FPS problem, to which someone suggested the solution of exiting the game and rejoining. This worked, but when I rejoined the game, my hunger and thirst were back to flashing red, and I was out of food. So now I'm stuck in this town that hasn't yet spawned loot with my blood slowly decreasing, wondering how the hell I got myself into this situation, despite careful planning.

Where you were: Don't really wish to give away my location as well as the server I was on, and I don't think location is really relevant to this issue. I was in the middle section of the map, if it helps.

What you were doing: raiding towns, being forced to log out and log back in due to game issues, causing the problems described above.

Current installed version: just updated to the latest patch (1.6.0)

Server you were on: Dallas 11

Any feedback as to how or why this is happening is appreciated.

Please, for the love of god give this some attention in the next patch. We don't start with a canteen or food anymore, so those of us with jobs that work 8+ hours a day are pretty much fucked when we log in.

I have this exact goddamn problem. Every server I log into, I'm flashing red hunger and thirst. I find food, and water (FINALLY) and then I get kicked off for high ping, because every single goddamn server in my area of the world is full.

So I get to search for food and water EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOG IN. This is not acceptable.

What kind of response is that? By your logic, no one should play DayZ until it goes final lol

Also, last night everything was fine. I log in a few hours later and both water and food are flashing red. Most players can't log in every 4 hours to feed their character lol, nor is it realistic when rl humans can go days without water and food.

Sort it out pls ;)

You, mister, are an idiot. Stop asslicking the devs and look at the facts he has given, it simply does not work for him at the current state of the game (and he's not the only one)

IIRC this was fixed in the latest hotfix (1.7.1.4).

Not sure if you're being serious or just trying to start shit in the thread, i will give you the benefit of doubt and think you're just trolling.
