RegularX Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I feel safe writing that title on a 'net forum, since it is less likely that I'll get injured in a humorous attempt to respond... I get pain from like falling, or zombies, etc. But sometimes pain just seems to ... happen? Is there something else associated like time walking/running? Being too close to a hot stove?

Kajin Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If you take any damage at all you'll be in pain. I think if you go hungry or thirsty for too long it'll also cause pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon354 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It seems like the pain is a bit extreme though. one scratch and I am in agony (no I wasn't infected) or if i jump out a second story window i am in massive pain and will go into a terminal state of health if I do it again. I have jumped off a nice sized playground when i was in elementary school and it didn't put me in extreme pain or nearly kill me (maybe the character lands face or spine first?).

Children are lighter. And I doubt a playground would reach two stories. Also, barkchips? A zombie 'scratch' is probably more of a deep gash. It's quite painful, believe me.

Kajin Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well, considering a "scratch" in this game is something that bleeds pretty badly until you get a bandage on it, that would mean it's a fairly deep or long gash. And considering the fact that it's from a zombie, the wound is likely pretty ragged what with it being torn open by jagged, chipped, filth encrusted fingernails. Agony is a subjective term, more or less, but a wound like that would be pretty damn painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajin Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hmm... It might be more like a rip, I guess? Grab onto exposed flesh, dig in with sharp and jagged fingernails, and pull really hard. That'd certainly hurt like hell. Footmuffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaYPs Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If you ate rotten/uncooked food, its most likely you get food poisoned -PAIN Your character like an average person will get sick from time to time - PAIN If you are bitten, scratched, punched by zeds - PAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaYPs Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Jump out of a second story window in a rush 20 times and you're going to hurt yourself In the game, it is labeled injured not pain. Injured but doesn't feel pain? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegularX Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Got something for you.http://pzwiki.net/wiki/Moodleshttp://pzwiki.net/wiki/Health I get Pain when combined with Injury. But I swear I've been in the game and just been in pain, with no prior injury. So I was wondering what other possible causes for the Moodle might be.

RegularX Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Supposedly, rain is bugged and can kill you. That's my assumption - that's it is another moodle that's already vanished, but now acting as an aftereffect. It seems to resolve itself easily with time+rest+food, but I've often just blinked and wondered what I did to suddenly be in agony. I mean, other than witnessing the entire fall of humanity - of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedKrypton Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I once had a friend which scratched me so hard that I bleed.It hurted a lot and, if you think of they also don't really have clean fingernails.Or have you ever been scratched by a cat? Even if the wound is not major it hurts extremly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd certainly hurt like hell.And since zombies use ALL their strength whereas humans wouldn't when scratching someone since you would feel bad about it/not want to hurt them, that combined with what you said... ouch.

Tooks Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think scratches need to be renamed because they dont sound as severe. The zombie has broken through your flesh with its nails and caused bleeding and a 25% chance of infection. Sounds pretty painful and harsher than what "scratch" makes you think.

EnigmaGrey Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 *Looks at scratches on hands*Maybe we just need to redefine the common definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon354 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Maybe we could call them lacerations? It has a more painful and severe connotation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajin Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah, but then it doesn't sound like something that would get you infected... What about keeping scratch, but making damage from it minimal? Then go around and add lacerations, which are more in line with what scratches currently do in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
