HEALTH REGEN is KILLIN any sense of SURVIVAL | Forums

Yeah, I was using syringes too quickly. The health didnt recover from an injury without a bandage, but regenerates to full from any of the segments. I can only assume this was put in for the beta, because it makes syringes pointless. I hope that the number of bandages is limited and there is no recovery at launch or one of the key features of the game is redundant.

Syringes are quick and heal you fast, but you are (initially limited to 5).
Mk2 Syringes are even quicker and heal you even faster, but you are limited to 3(initially).
Bandages are slow, you character will not stop bandaging to shoot an attacker that comes around the corner and starts firing upon you, and they heal you slowly.

I think using them, unless you like going to a Bivi to craft more(or buy more from Maria) becomes a tactical choice. If I'm clearing a base and things go side ways, but I feel secure and want to save my syringes for another base or mission I'm on my way to before I go back to a Bivi, I'll use a bandage(assuming I've cleared a sufficient area to do it safely and not get gunned down while my Nomad studiously ignores the guy shooting at him as he slowly applies a bandage.

Not to keep making comparisons, but I preferred the AA system. You got injured and you bled out(to a certain point) until you applied a bandage. Then syringes(before they removed them) would restore your health, assuming you were bandaged. Granted applying said bandages was also much quicker.

1) an OPTION to turn OFF health regen would be fantastic!

2) an OPTION to make resources more sparse, no infinite bandages, and less ammo. Make scavenging and crafting more essential.

I agree with this. It would be nice to have both of these as options to turn on/off separately.

It has to be dependent on difficulty level...for me I played on extreme and my health regen automatically after injuries....

The expectations were created, but now we have to wait for the day of release of the full version.

Thanks for the feedback on this topic. We are forwarding this along. Would an option to turn it on / off be okay? Or maybe dependent on which difficulty setting you pick? Feel free to let me know. Thanks everyone!

Personally I would like it to be toggleable, but then you have to think how would that work with a group of players, some with it on, and some off.

Depending on the host, like a lot of games do.

Why did ubisoft add in health regain ?? Honestly it goes against the whole concept??????? Please take out health regain so we actually have to survive and be more cautious ... this makes the player have to be more stealth adds it would add so much to the game

Auto Health regen in a survival lite game that has unlimited bandages... all threse sytems conflict... pick one. I vote for survival lite

Whats the problem? Those with the hardcore switch on will not regen health, and those who have it off will regen health and maybe for them, bandages pickups in the game world would either be invisible, unpickabke or will be syringes.

Just seen this thread. Regen sucks and is totally not what is being marketed. My vote to add an option to disable it for all difficulties. If this cannot be done, remove it and go back to what it was like in OTT1.

Just also want to point out that an old game of yours that I loved from a fair few years ago had this in and done it right - Far Cry 2!! Got injured? No worries, hit a button to heal yourself by popping your arm back in or flicking a bullet out of your arm to fill the 1 segment of health you are currently in. To fully regen, you needed to use a syringe. Time to go back to old coding methinks and stop catering for the casual crowd for a quick buck!!
