Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted September 16, 2012 Grouping up with fellow survivors should have benefits. While being in a group you will be able to have meals together, having a meal together comes with benefits. While having a meal it is normal to have good conversation and to even share with one another. So while eating solo does the trick it is always nice to have someone around to enjoy the days meal with you. Having a meal with other survivors you will get an extra health bonus from all food eaten together.There should also be food pairing bonuses for certain foods that are eaten together. Instead of just eating a can of pasta why not pair it with some grilled chicken and a Mtn. Dew for an added health bonus. Some baked beans , a cooked pork chop and coke for an added health bonus. It's important to plan your next meal cause you never know when it's going to be your last. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exenima 45 Posted September 16, 2012 I like the idea. It just gives more motive for players to pair up and be friendly, rather then just shoot eachother mindlessly. You have my beans sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MLI 6 Posted September 16, 2012 So you would scroll wheel and "invite to dinner/lunch", and all that consume food/drink within the next "x" minutes get the health benefit per food/drink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MasterZ 90 Posted September 16, 2012 It has good intentions but I fail to see how eating together with somebody should increase the total blood gain from the food eaten.If anything I think that eating or drinking something should take around 10-15 seconds.The benefit from being with somebody is that the other person can guard the surround area while you eat.Sure when you hear shooting you can stop eating immediately but you'll drop the food and it will be wasted, so you only get a partial blood gain.

Kinda like that, I was leaning more towards if you do eat and you eat in a group together at the same time you could get a little health bonus for doing so.It has good intentions but I fail to see how eating together with somebody should increase the total blood gain from the food eaten.If anything I think that eating or drinking something should take around 10-15 seconds.The benefit from being with somebody is that the other person can guard the surround area while you eat.Sure when you hear shooting you can stop eating immediately but you'll drop the food and it will be wasted, so you only get a partial blood gain. I was just thinking since if there are other people in your group and you all eat together that you would get a little added health bonus. Good for morale also sharing food with one another would be a more complete meal than just eating something quick and alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
