Prematurely ending the World of Warcraft process results in your character remaining on the server in a vulnerable state for the remaining duration of the countdown. Again, not a fanboi, just saying.

How to escape from a wall: 1) Face wall. 2) Press "V" to vault. 3) Log out immediately after pressing "V". 4) Log back in. 5) While at "Wait for host" screen, repeatedly press "W" or whatever your forward key is bound to. 6) Profit. This works 99% of the time for me on the first shot. Sometimes it does take a couple of tries.

Not true. Like I said in the OP, we waited for at least a full minute. Patch notes said thirty seconds. We figured we'd be safe. Not the case. This is not the first time I've been teleported to a random location after logging in; it's just the first time it's actually bitten me in the ass. The message I was/am trying to "conceive" (...?) is that the current system is broken/poorly implemented. If this is going to be hot-fixed, that's great. I patiently await to see what they unroll. The system is not sound. You're arguing in favor of something you're not a part of. You don't need to get offended when people complain about a legitimate issue. You're not a developer. Also, congratulations on your eighth post, all of which have been extremely helpful. /facepalm You win this thread. The patch notes claim you only need to wait thirty seconds. Therefore, your point is moot. Congratulations on your ninth post. Again, very helpful. I like the idea of going to sleep. I wasn't suggesting we copy the exact fucking source code from World of Warcraft, just the general idea. Your idea adds legitimacy and immersion. The current system is just a crapshoot as to whether or not you waited long enough to log out, which, for the record, was supposed to be thirty seconds. Congratulations on killing someone that you had no idea was combat logging. Also, you don't have "DayZ instincts". Another reason this system is stupid. Thanks. A helpful post as always. (No sarcasm.) I am also excited to see if this issue gets hot-fixed. And yeah, I am not a server hopper. There're too many people on these forums who think they know everything about everybody. When someone creates a thread depicting a fairly detailed situation with no holes in the story or blatant flaws, it's probably best to believe them until they're somehow caught in a lie. I don't know what kind of judicial system the rest of the world supports, but here in Canada, you're innocent until proven guilty. EDIT: I swear to God if I didn't love this game so much, the [mostly] shit community would be fucking intolerable.

The server timer is definitely not working as intended. I was trying to see how high I could get my timer while half paying attention on the phone today, and it didn't even kick in until my third hop, at which point it was 270 seconds or something. But that was after two hops, going for my third. I dunno, I don't really care what they do; I'm just trying to provide some suggestions to get this ball rollin'.

*** E-THUG DETECTED! PLEASE REMAIN CALM. *** I am not a fan of World of Warcraft; I barely play it. My kid plays my old account. I've been done with it for a while. Their logout system is solid. I wasn't implying we use every fucking aspect of the system; obviously the instant logout in cities would be completely stupid to implement. If they can't get the current system to fucking work, then yup, they're going to be given alternatives. The one I suggested is an alternative to the current clusterfuck, whether or not there's a "fix" on the way. And no, this system doesn't prevent ghosting at all. It might slow it down, but it doesn't stop it. You can still ghost someone within two minutes.

I tap Q a lot from playing Counter-Strike for over a decade. It's gotten me killed a few times. It's a habit I formed after a lot of AWP/deagle. // double taps Q after shooting Mosin // // gets stuck corner peaking with no corners in sight // // dies //

EDIT: @OP: Couldn't agree more, man. Barley! :3

Don't attack my Water Elemental! D:

1) Taking one aspect of another video game, regardless of the genre, would not subtract from the "realism" of DayZ. It's tried and tested. It works. If they can fix the current system so that you don't randomly appear somewhere else, then great. If not, let's find something that works. The one I suggested works. 2) Eve Online is obviously a better MMORPG than World of Warcraft. Just look at the numbers. /facepalm 3) I don't combat log. Ask DeatHTaX. This is a legitimate situation, and not the first time it's happened. I shouldn't have to wait for five or more minutes for the server to recognize where I'm logging out. Period. This is a pretty blatant bug that should've been caught in experimental; it's not something small that could've been overlooked. 4) Keep on trollin', Mr. Durst.

Wow, let me edit the fucking post to keep everyone from having a nervous breakdown.

Thank you for the constructive post; I've noticed virtually all of the posts you make are helpful. You're a valuable asset to these forums.

I KOS IRL.

I accidentally killed DeathTaX once. We were defending ourselves against a bunch of new spawns that were swarming people running down the coast, and as I shot one (who was playing some creepy-ass music via voice communication), 'TaX ran into the line of fire as he was trying to escape another new spawn. Yeah, I laughed. I didn't feel bad at all! And yes, it was an accident. Or was it...?

Confirmed: ballistic helmets in worn or better condition will absorb one bullet. Tested this theory with my son. Shot him in the head with an M4A1 from around 25 metres. His screen flashed gray and he heard a "tink", but didn't die or even bleed. His helmet was only badly damaged afterwards, from pristine. I think they're ugly as hell, but after that experiment I'll be going back to wearing them. (: Tonight I'm going to run the same test on the new pilot helmet.

It still works for me. I can still force feed people from fifty paces. √_√

This happened to me, too. What worked for me was exiting the server, making a new character, click "Set Default", log into a different server than the one you died in and you should spawn at the coast.

The gamma exploit relies on the moon being visible...

As the title says. Stuffed status has been showing since this morning. Is this a bug or working as intended? Also, whenever I take someone down, their body disappears after maybe thirty seconds. Is this a bug or working as intended?

Happens to me. Only fix for me is to disable and then enable my ethernet card.

If the game is broken, why was I able to fully kit myself from a bambi in just over two hours?

Can we get an actual response to this? Been dead for hours. - Tried changing in-game name. - Tried finding server I died on in history, but with a five minute timer, it'll take all day. It'd be nice to hear from someone who knows something.

I've literally found five in around three hours of playing, today. I found several in barracks, one in the brick house with the stairs that lead nowhere, one in the house with the piano in it, and one (strangely) in the townhouse that has the blue door you need to crawl under to get through.
