WHY ??? If you cant control your character what does it matter if you can see for those 30 seconds or not. It does not, you sound like a QQ ghoster. All you have to do is look 360 around you and if there is nothing there you will be safe for 30 seconds, if you find it so hard to make sure that no one is within 30 seconds from your position You should not be playing this game. I am saying no more on this subject, the people who are against it have nothing better to offer and your complaints just dont make sense, 'i dont like it because i want to see myself die in those 30 seconds', 'i dont like it because i want to be able to cancel it within those 30 seconds'. No the reason you don't like it was because you were abusing it before and now you cant, anyone with half a brain can see through your excuses to the truth underneath which is your all a bunch of dirty ghosters and your shxt just got wrecked. Thank you rocket, these tears are delicious.

If you cant control the character then what is the difference between what you propose and what has been implemented. The fact that you can see yourself die ??? Your argument does not make much sense to me

I was using those bodies as bait, i know for a fact they were there for a good while. I remember hearing something about the bodies staying if your near them but if no ones near them they disappear , not sure if that's true though.

It has been reported i just murdered two people in an american server and stood gaurd amd emptying their corpses for the last 10 minutes. You have no clue what you are talking about. 'Now bodies disappear after 60 seconds its been reported.' Who reported that to you, was it dean hall or the tooth fairy??

With this system the thought of logging off does not cross player B's mind because it is too dangerous. THAT IS WHY THIS IS WORKING. Its so risky now that player b does not even count combat logging as one off his options and so stay and bandages and prepares for a fight, if player b does choose to try and log while he is having a scrap with someone he deserves death.

Buddy there is so much loot to be found up north. So without being an asshole about it, go up north and look for a multicolored house painted blue and yellow, you can feed for days off of one of these houses.

Well its a shame you feel that way, it is a bit extreme but anything less would not deter combat logging. I look at combat logging as another risk vs reward kind of thing. With this current system the risk far outweighs the reward. I think if you were to give people evenmore control over their character during the timer then the reward starts to become greater then the risk and hence more and more people start doing it.

But i would say that this is a VERY VERY slow paced game, its not like COD or BF where 30 seconds is probably the difference between life and death, Every life on this game should be taking you hours, days and even weeks to die. Out of all that time you spend in the game i don't think finding a good hiding spot for 30 seconds is too much to ask.

People are saying its lazy because they are comparing it to world of Warcraft system where you can watch until your character leaves the server mainly, i have not played it myself but to me i don't find 30 seconds blind to be an issue at all. Sometimes i take a dump for over five minutes while logged on, you don't hear me complaining about that, unless i have just eaten a curry.

Would not surprise me if you have killed me a few times. I died a lot more than usual on those servers for some reason.

I think this may be a bug where you have been killed during the 30 second log out timer before you left for a break. Not sure on how to fix it though, there is a post about this, you should ask there for a resolution. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/171385-so-much-for-a-stable-update/

If the OP is playing on the experimental servers your food intake is pretty crazy at the moment so that may be why.

I really hope rocket does open this game up to modding because i have a vision of an awesome mod for this game. The mod splits you into two teams or groups of survivors, say 50 survivors each and they both have a base. One in the north and one in the south. (The north should have been built by then and i think it will be just as interesting as the south) Now loot is non existent on this server except in one place, this place could be like a city or a town or something in the middle. The goal will be that both teams will have to loot this town or city if they want to survive and it will force confrontations and make for some epic battles while still sticking to its survivalist roots, the aim of the game will still be to survive but you would be forced to fight for your survival with a team of other survivors and likewise for the opponents. 'What happens if one team constantly beats the other team would they not have any food or anything' If one team keeps losing then they would be forced to carry out an attack on the other teams base and if they lose then its game over. Yes there are a lot of holes in the idea so there is no need to tell me but if it could be done somehow i think it would be the best mod going. What do you think ??

My crotch is itchy !!! This message pops up where it says im hungry and thirsty. What is it and what do i have to do to cure it. There is no clinics in churnarus plus i am sure me and bob never done anything like that although i was extremely drunk. Anyway is there anyway to cure this ??

What civil war ??

Dont worry buddy there will soon be a 5 minute timer slapped on people who do this. Its called ghosting, now 30 seconds is not a lot but that timer is actually how long you stay in the game for after you log out but what has been discussed in a lot less detail is the 5 minute timer if you swap server too quickly and other stuff. Imagine if that man had to wait five or maybe 10 minutes, (joining another server and then joining yours again) I am pretty sure that will be sufficient enough for you and will make most of these kind of shitty things not worth doing in the future and i cant wait. :P

I kill everyone and if you want to know why it is because i am on an ever lasting quest to find the first person who betrayed me on the game. Its rather funny actually, every person i kill i do so thinking that might have been one of the pricks that betrayed me in the past. So if you want to know why i do it it's not because im shooting at you so to speak, i am shooting at every fxcker who has treated me like a piece of shit in the past in that slim SLIM hope that i may one day have my revenge. Dont take it to heart, gearing up is as easy as washing the dishes at the moment (i actually do all my washing up during the journey from fresh spawn to NEAF) You hit the nail on the head.

Nice story OP. Your friend sounds like a pussy watching you all die. I would line him up against the wall for summary execution personally, but that's probably why i have not made any new friends on this game.

I actually know the answer to this one. The reason it says unknown entity is because the person who was unconscious respawned instead of waiting, now his old body is still unconcious and you have just brought it back to life but it no longer has a player controlling it and that is why it becomes unkown entity. In short it is not dead because you revived it but the player has already chosen to respawn.

I thought this was to discuss it since we cant comment on the dev tracker. Nothing wrong with a bit of discussion is there ?? Actually i forgot i was on this terrible forum for a minute. Of course there is something wrong with discussion, we only like childish insults and even worse memes pasted from the internet on this forum so if you want worth while debate look else where.

This is also another really cool statement from dean, see what you can make from this. Dean Hall 'The new server profiling has helped us tremendously. We have a major bottleneck with variable and state assessment. Because we have so many objects in the world, the server is forced to spend vast amounts of resources checking everything to see if it needs to send updates. We knew this was some of the problem, but we'd never been able to truly profile a dedicated server "in the wild" before so we didn't know the true extent. The issue gets exponentially worse the more players are connected. During one very straightforward change the server FPS increased from 20 FPS to 30 FPS, which is very dramatic (previously we would get excited over a single frame increase). I'll keep everyone posted, but don't expect this for wednesdays patch.' Anyone want to break this down for the more simple minded among us, me included. View full context on Reddit

I was thinking that. because there is only a couple of test servers so if the OP has been hit by a timer when logging into a experimental then he too was server hopping. GTFO OP you server hopping scum.

ignore this. It's just the message they have put at the start when you join a server. HAHAHAHA

yes
