It was mostly a phrase to say: Please avoid gamey compromises that make no sense.... if there is a cyberware implant that makes you regenerate is a thing...
Having your character swinging a sword and eat roast chicken at the same time... is just plain stupid and feel plastic..
Nah, I was being a smart ass. The regenerative cyberware in Cyberpunk 2020 is very, very powerful - it lets you take a mere week to heal where before it would take months! You can be up and walking slowly in a couple days instead of weeks! Ah..be careful not to do anything taxing though or back in bed you go!
Not even kidding.
Healing in Cyberpunk isn't fast.
The very top of the line stuff, ( before eraser or Wisdom or Su or Redge or some other hardcore corrects me) does reduce your healing time down to a couple days - but that's very, very expensive and depends on you not being really, really, really badly hurt.
So, if they stick to the PnP idea, regenerating health will NOT be a thing. Nor fancy-dan medpacks of magicness. Getting hurt, well, hurts.
This and more are the reasons why Cpunk players avoid combat if they are smart. And not in ACPA.
We had a whole discussion on how "real" the combat is going to be compared to the famously nasty PnP combat system..
@blank_redge probably knows where it is. If only he'd tell.
