Feedback / Feature request - Possibility for deeper uncon state
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Hey, I wanted to touch on something that used to be a part of the game but isn't anymore. That being the chance for prolonged unconscious states.

In game right now as you know, players will always go uncon for set periods of time, typically around 10-20 seconds at most. These uncon times are very short, which is fine ofcourse.

However... I believe there should be a chance under certain circumstances such as going unconscious when you have (for example) extremely low HP or low blood that there may be a chance for your character to enter a more deep uncon state, which would require either a longer time to wake up, perhaps multiple minutes, or assistance from another player. This assistance could come in the form of longer sessions of CPR, maybe giving bloodbags, epinephrine pens or perhaps you guys could add the defibrillator back into the game since it is current un-used in the files.

The reason I think this would be good is that it creates a pretty deep connection between the characters and provides some really memorable moments. It sounds a bit cringe, but hear me out.

Imagine having been in a really tense firefight and the guy you are teamed up with has been put into a deep uncon state. You know that he won't wake up unless you help him, you are scrambling looking for the necessary items to help, or perhaps you already came prepared with those items.

You should decide if trying CPR is worth the risk, or if you would be better off looking for the medical supplies, eventually after many minutes you manage to revive him and you have essentially saved his life. Stuff like that is really awesome, and moments like that are really what makes DayZ so special, but they are so rare to see these days due to the current medical systems in game being very short and simple.

Anyway, that's all. Thanks for reading <3
