Poll: Bandaging time length

[DanMaksim]

Personally I think bandaging needs to take a lot longer. Right now it seems inconsequential to bandage. Aside from the current time-to-bandage being unrealistically short, it has little gameplay impact. You can nail an enemy with a non-critical gunshot wound, and they can be bandaged and shooting back at you in a couple of seconds flat.

Seems like it'd be a lot better if bandaging took longer, at least 5 seconds or so. It'd give you time to rush in and capitalize on a bandaging enemy. It'd also make you think twice about bandaging if you're close enough to an enemy that they might rush you.

It should be 7 seconds IMO, and bleed out time before it turns black and white and fatal should be 20-30 seconds.

 

[dieterweber]

10-15 seconds/

I think it should take a little longer. With this kind of thing a small change can go a long way, so I'd rather not see a drastic change. Right now it's almost instantaneous.

The charm of Red Orchestra is that it is a game where getting shot matters. Getting shot in a vital area should kill you. It's pretty damn stupid to have the bandage effect take 10 seconds and to bleed out and die if you don't bandage in 30 seconds.

Either keep the bandage effect as it is, or make it 2-5 seconds long. That's all that is needed. If you don't bandage, you die. If you get shot in a vital spot, you die. I don't care about having the game represent real life bandaging because that's not fun and takes too much bloody time and would make bandaging pointless. Just let me get shot and die. I don't want to waste 20-30 seconds of my game bandaging whenever a bullet hits my foot or whatever.

Bandages are as ridiculous as Medics reviving people. IMO, either have both, or none.

Fact: if you have a wound that's threatening to kill you (by bleed out) in less than 5 seconds, CHANCES ARE bandaging that wound probably isn't going to save you life. The more you know.

A medic class would be pretty sick though.

I think the short bleedout time is more of a problem than the short bandaging time. I'd like it if both took longer.

 

[sgtlongbow]

i still say add a medic class.

+1 Sometime's I will get shot and wont have enough time to bandage even though it says hit use to bandage im spamming it and nothing happens lol

 

[halbridious]

I have to hold my bandage button to get it to work, but i do wish both times (bleed and bandge) were extended.

 

[J.Corvus]

Slower bleeding.
Slower bandaging.

 

[Derpus]

Longer in hardcore realism at the very least.

 

[Beefmaker]

bandages should be removed imho.

I see no reason for them being in the game. They dont really add anything and are just head scratchingly unrealistic.

If they stay in the game I would suggest making the bandage time longer so that they actually have an impact on the gameplay. Because in the current state they are irritating and have almost no impact besides making you push an adittional button after getting a glancing hit.

 

[UsF]

It should take longer, but the bleedout should happen later as well too, so you have more time. That or removing them, making wounds stop bleeding automatically or...if you are unlucky, killing you.

 

[azianinvazn]

should take much longer...feels like some sorta arcade game with the short bandaging times.

 

[SingeDebile]

bleeding is confusing right now...
\
every time i run across an open area and am "suppressed" i get worried I am shot as well and spam the LCtrl button... the reason being I have died too many times because I didnt know i was bleeding...

 

[MrBenn]

imho the bleedout is very very quick, this is compounded by the fact that holding ctrl often just makes you hug a wall.. chair.. bed... table... a tragic end 9 times out of 10.

I dnt mind the bandage time personally but the bleedout is very very quick, may as well not be a bleedout.

 

[Sujieun]

Going to have to agree it should take *much* longer if much = 5seconds

 

[MrWhitby]

return to RO1 ways

 

[NKVDKommissar]

It should take longer, and I will like that bandage use other key than ctrl.
