HAHAH, my friends do this ALL the time. My buddy went through the screen in the back of the church and couldn't get back out. Talk about a safe place to log for 30seconds. We had to ax him through the wall to get his gun back. :beans:

Then, I will come to you for my refund if I do die.

Na, I enjoyed the debate and I learned from it. Everything below my picture is useless now :thumbsup: :D :beans: :beans:

sticky voice chat on and continue to yell that you are friendly. That way it doesn't matter what you're wearing everyone will know you're a good guy.

Yes, this was explained later in the thread. It seems like a clear way to punish combat loggers while not punishing the everyday survivors/bandits nearly as much, but hopefully they will implement a system in the future where I know I will not have died when I logged out.

That actually kind of makes sense, because if you wanted to combat log and they started opening fire on you, you could then stop combat logging and continue to return fire. So maybe this is the best method, it seems it is the easiest anyways. edit: I would still like to know that when I log in I will be where I was when I logged out.

Welcome to DayZ, next patch will help with this a lot.

@BubbaJones - I feel like you are debating with me even though we appear to have the same opinion on this matter :thumbsup: That is the first I've heard about that. I would believe it also, but I'm not sure what that exploit would be.

Gallery Section?

No, as I have said a few times here, I am happy a fix is being implemented. I am just debating why we can't be IN GAME when logging. I never said you would live if you were still in-game but at least you would have a chance to do something instead of not. If you don't sit down in a "safe" spot whether you're in game or not you will likely die yes. But in the off chance the guy is noob and opens fire early or just plain misses, or say you hear/see him running full speed at you. You then have a chance to defend yourself instead of just afking while he walks up firing his gun into the air you only to pull out his ax and chop your face off.

Sorry you lack an imagination :emptycan:

Then sit down /camp and walk away. Same thing will happen when you're NOT at your computer in either scenario. Generally for me, I can wait 30 seconds and make absolutely sure I am safe.

So you log out in a bush but someone sees you walk into this "safe" bush and takes a bet that you are logging out. Charges the bush when they see you sit down. They have 30 seconds to get close enough to take a shot and since you are blind, deaf and dumb you do nothing when he starts to open fire. He unloads his entire 60 round clip and finally kills you before the 30 second timer. Wouldn't you rather have a chance to stand up and run or take out your gun and shoot back? I do like that this kind of feature is being implemented it's better than not having it but I don't know why we can't be present while we log out (safely), for the rare chance someone saw us setting up to log out.

Yes, so why not allow the played to regain control of their character if shit hits the fan before the 30sec mark? Instead of letting the shit spray all over them with no chance to do anything Sounds good. Lets do it. :thumbsup:

I certainly want to see this kind of feature added but I would prefer that I stay in-game while the timer is going. You say it's like you were attacked in your sleep. Don't you think if the first shot didn't kill you that you would wake up? I would like to think I would and so have some chance to react. If you are forced to be sitting when logging then you wouldn't be able to immediately start running and your situation would be pretty shitty but at least you are still connected to the matrix and have a chance to do something. As the OP said EQ1 did this and I really thought it was a great way to prevent agro-dodge.

Yes, I was killed with my buddy in one of the prisons at NEAF. The server rolled back to just before that a few days later. I showed that guy.

I met a combat logger, stayed in the same area he logged back in and killed me. @op; I'm curious how you knew the guy you killed was a bandit? Did you see him killing someone? Also, curious how you knew it was the same guy if you had killed him, he wouldn't be wearing any of the same gear. Old thread but still just as fun to post in.

They did implement something of this nature in the mod if im not mistaken.

Wait, does pristine clothes really affect your ability to soak bullets? Nice :beans:

Huh?

yeahh.... well if you check out the patch notes it appears they are adding collision detection/pathing for zombies. Also, I believe I read somewhere that zombies only ignore stuff at close range. So it's not as bad as you may think.

I think that is part of the backstory, your own story. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has come up with zombie apocalypse stories in my free time. That radio shit was creepy as hell though, I hope he puts that back in if it's not already and/or other creepy shit.

I disagree the sniper should have definitely died. When he turned around he was pulling an M4 out of the back of his neck and seemed to have just taken 10-20 bullets from that location as well.

Ya that was the only glitch I saw
