Eating raw meat?

[Rorut]

Just started playing again. A year ago I could eat raw meat whithout any issues. Is it still possible?

if you eat charcoal tabs or enough vitamins before, yes.
(there's still a chance to get sick, though)

full health , blood and Full water OR food makes you immune to cholera, eat away with no charcoal or vitimens

He's completely correct though.

it takes some time to get there, though.

That's not...really true. I strongly suggest watching the video all the way through. You can simply go to a pump and max out your hydration to become completely immune to all of them, so long as you have full blood and health.

k, sounds like an exploit.

It's a completely intended mechanic. It's simply how the immunity statistic works. Again, if you watch the video, it will explain it in depth. I urge you to do so to educate yourself, rather than viewing it as an exploit.

k, it's a game mechanic now, just doesn't make much sense you can make yourself immune to every kind of sickness by just filling your stomach with water while not getting shot

That's what exploits are, intended mechanics that can be circumvented or, as the term suggest, exploited as easily as drinking 10 minutes at a well.

Don't look at it as if it's necessarily a negative thing, is not cheating and they are not random as a bug, after all nearly everyone used meat radiators before 1.10.

Having 50 pills of cure all in 2 slots? Seems to me like vitamin pills are overpowered. I mean what would be the point of different diseases caught from different sources, all with different cures/preventions if all you need is one pill to cure them all? Surely this can't be an end result? Possibly a step towards something more complex?

Maybe its time to remove vitamins pills from the game? Maybe replace them with different vitamins gained from eating different fruit and veg?

No one ever said DayZ made sense. I'm certainly not here to defend their design choices.

Also, be wary of using absolutes. This does nothing for Kuru or Chemical Poisoning.

If you're arguing that it's taking advantage of a flaw, or making full use / benefiting from such flaw, I can agree with that. However, that's not up to us to decide if these are intended mechanics, and therefore, making the determination that it's not desired behavior is ultimately beyond the scope of the discussion. We don't have enough information to clearly say one way or the other. It's simply the realm of opinion. I should have made that more clear upon my initial statement. In my opinion, this is intended behavior, and is therefore, in my mind, not exploiting anything in particular.

I agree, and I personally think that Multivitamins are a much bigger issue, and should offer a flat boost to immune system levels rather than basically making you untouchable.
