I was just reading through forum topics about the logout system and it hit me! The way it is now is the wrong way round! There should be a 'Combat Timer' and this should be triggered by being shot at, hit, or chased by a zombie. The timer should be much longer. This would make sure combat situations are dealt with by either escaping the area or killing the other guy(s) before going to a safe zone, waiting a couple mins for rollback and logging out (instantly like before). There should be a symbol or icon on screen to show 'Combat Status'. Red and Green would work. The 'Combat Timer' should be invisible, not a visible countdown.

I'd rather add 'String' to the game and the ability the cut off ears of my victims so I can wear a ear necklace :lol:

but they would still have to suffer the extended timer which gives you more time to act :huh: and increase the risk of being killed blind.

True, the present system works, I was just thinking of a solution when seeing many complaints about this system in the forum today.

Exactly So what do you do? Keep shooting in intervals to keep the Combat status active. "this should be triggered by being shot at, hit, or chased by a zombie." It's all there :)

"This is simply asking for a build of the game that caters to ALL players including those wanting PVE only. " Maybe it should be added but these PVE servers should be seperate from regular mode just like hardcore is. This way you start a PVE character and it's stored only on those servers, plus this would stop people using them to get strong then go to PVP server. I think it's too early for this kind of stuff though.. There's hardly any enviroment to battle right now. The odd zombie.. Hunger, Thirst, Random glitches that result in death lol

Personaly i like the way it is because combat loggers risk being blind for 30sec. I've already killed some while in that 30sec window :P I didn't attack first and tried to make contact through voice but seeing them sit down makes my insticts kick in and I just go for it and rush them! Before this feature was added I'd be in combat then things would go calm and i'd not know if they logged or just waiting it out. Now it's more dramatic and you know that 30sec is counting down and they could be sat out of sight and log, so you have to be fast if you want that loot! :beans: Only downside atm is the bodies dissapear after the 30sec.. I know if you die in the 30sec it does this, but not sure if logging out when already dead has the same effect. Either way it needs fixing imo.

If only this was true.. I've not fully tested this but if you kill someone while in the 30sec logout window, the body is deleted when the 30sec is over.. This is kinda funny in some ways when you think of the bandits running to loot you and POOF! you're gone, but not funny if you're the victor after being attack by bandits and you're left with nothing as a reward for taking them down.

READ THE TOPICS BEFORE COMMENTING!!! When you log out it will rollback ur character 1-2minutes! just make sure you're in your 'SAFE ZONE' 2mins before logging out and when you return you will be right where you left!

This isn't a bug right? When you log out you're rolled back 1-2mins and this was to stop people logging into high loot rooms, grabbing stuff quickly and logging out to move to the next server? The system is sound imo BUT just like every other game, It has ignorant players who don't read or try to get info on what's going on and only venture into forums to whine and moan about things they don't understand. Message of the day! "Ignorance is not an excuse!" ^_^

Agree Military equipment spawning in silly locations like residential areas and stuff isn't very realistic but ofc there is a chance that some random event happened and a person was killed in the area while holding the equipment.. but still, it should be very rare. The way i see it.. Military stuff should be in bases, shotguns are probably realisticaly found in farmers houses and things like that.

This is all good and well, but sometimes i suffer from terrible desync and friends are invisible to me and logging out of server and back in was a good way for me to stop this.. Now if desync isn't fixed, I'm doomed to roam the map while invisible players can/could attack me while im blind lol I'm not complaining though, just throwing my situation out there to see if others have same problems. BTW good job on the patch.

Yeh that's it. Listen to this guy! Good ideas.

Yeh what he said haha I think using a graphic glitch to get a advantage of extra visuals behind walls is abuse of a known glitch xD I think 6 of one and half a doven of the other here. You do know that when you're pushed into a corner like that, you can have parts of you poking out the other side of the wall? either that or he's using the same style of graphic glitch abuse as you guys to get a better shot..

Exactly! 6 weeks my ass x
