Broken legs mechanism is... broken

Recommended Posts

DayZ is true survival horror, but the current broken leg system is not delivering the amount of fun it should.

First, because the gameplay is not here. What does it mean for anyone to crawl for hours in hope to breach whatever hospital, for which you need real gunpower to break in, and if you ever can find that hospital, cuz right now you are cluelessly in the middle of nowhere?

Best deal is to suicide. People play a game, not a simulation. If the game is realistic, fine, but whatever 'hospital emergencies' simulation it could become: NO.

In fact I simply dislike the ideas of having broken legs. Why not missing hand, or blind eye?

80% of the time your legs will be broken by :

- a door

- a 2 meters fall when missing a ladder

- a wall or a ramp when crawling in buildings

Is that not enough that I bleed, that I collapse randomly, that I got hit for thousands of damage while opening a door, and you want my legs to be broken on top of that?

Damned you, you are evil :blink:

Haha welcome to the party....

Very first death was a couple builds back in the Balota airtower. I had the temerity to actually crawl across an open door threshold....

Wham! Unconscious, bleeding, broken legs...

Right then and there I was hooked.

Edit: If it's any comfort to you it is actually much harder to break your legs now.

Lol dude I carry to Morphine at all times. Its on my first priority list ever since the first time I broke my leg. Since then Ive never had problems. Always carry 2 morphine, don't crawl through doorways and don't rush going up ladders and stairs and you will never have a problem.

In fact, the entire medical system is broken. It's far too simple and it's definitely too easy.

Easiest and best way to break into the hospitals is to throw a tin can at the far left or right windows. If you can't find a tin can within spitting distance of the hospitals you have more than a couple of issues.

Clouds move from West to East. Figure out where south is and craw south. Eventually you will either hit someplace you know or you will hit Elektro or Cherno.

Broken legs are part of the vanilla ARMA2. It gives medics something else to be important for. IMO rocket just needs to add another way to cure broken legs besides morphine. I posted about that in the ideas section of maybe adding cloth, and if you have a hatchet you can cut some wood and make a splint that makes you say move at 70% speed but you can actually walk vs crawling. Other then that... I think its two post up from mine... just BE CAREFUL and carry morphine when you find it. Morphine = Gold
