Blood Type Marker

Once you have determined the blood type of your Character, the actual blood type should be shown at the inventory (such as a state).

So there is no confusion with the previous character.

Hard to remember 1 letter and symbol till your char is dead?

I honestly don't see a need, I also prefer less in the UI so I like it how it is.

This is paper. This is pen. Write your blood type on it and save it.

exactly, what i do is just save a folder on desktop A- or whatever, if i die, and then test blood again, i change the folder name,

if i get confused and fuck up somehow, then thats my problem haha

I can see the possibility of using a pen to write the type of blood on the bag itself. Just a thought

[qww 287]

well i havent tested it myself, but is it possible to edit a note after you have written it? being able to keep an in-game notebook/diary might be useful in some ways, as game progresses,

Why do we need a blood test kit anyway? Can't we just take two samples and see if they agglutinate? Besides, rhesus factor negatives only make the antibodies if they've been exposed to it.

I see what you did there...

 

On a serious note, there should be some way to record your blood type in-game.  There is, in the settings, a hotkey for "journal" and that should be a good place to record that.

 

A spur-of-the-moment idea:  You could record stuff in your journal, such as important information for your character (i.e. blood type) and record other stuff that has happened to you (where you spawned, times shot, tales of your crazy exploits, etc.).  When you die, whoever searches through your journal (a separate interact option when selecting a corpse) and see who you were and whatnot.  With the Polaroids, like in JiJi's signature, you could insert those between the pages of your journal.  When you die, you have the option to view your journal on the respawn menu.  Perhaps your journal could be saved in a game folder so you could retrieve it later to recall events in better clarity or to post on the forums to correlate with an awesome recollection.  I know with the bukus of shenanigans my current normal character has survived, such a feature would be invaluable.  There has been a call for some form of identification, too.  Maybe the first page of your journal could be an ID or passort that displays your name, a fictional birthday, and some other specifications that are either auto-generated or input by the user.

 

I need to stop before I continue to brain vomit...

 

You should be able to write your blood type down, though.  I have a tourniquet in my calf pocket that has my blood type on it so there is no confusion, as well as dog tags in my pocket (not around my neck since I'm an aviation maintainer).
