First of all, that was a what-if scenario, second of all, if someone has to log off, they have to log off, to watch a show or, go to bed for work in the morning, etc and that should not be punished. Thirdly if someone ambushes me and fails to kill me with the opening shots, then they can count on being blown away. I sympathize for friendlies and carebears tho, they should be able to play this game how they want to play it, it's a zombie survival rpg, apparently most people have forgotten what rpg means these days.

No i was NEVER referring to ALT-F4, and I explicitly said so after because someone else thought I was. I am simply talking about Logging out, via escape-abort

AADiC your ingame name? Foxd1e is mine. I'll keep an eye out for ya ;) It's not showing up in the Six Launcher, but ill keep checking so i can favorite it.

What is my earlier opinion please tell me? Because my earlier opinion was that it is wrong that someone who is logging off should have to continue playing because some idiot shot at them and missed.

I'll take you up on that offer tough guy. Mano E Mano, no clan, or do you need to bring one to kill one guy? :lol:

Yes, I agree, and I am not saying ALT-F4 should be allowed, or that people who quit in the middle of a firefight should get away with no punishment, I just hope the dev team goes about this issue carefully, and figure in those people that really have to logout, for work, or a funeral, or even because they are just Day Z'd out, they should not be forced to keep playing.

Oh shoot I have a funeral to be at, maybe I better squeeze in 10 minutes of day z first, oh no somebody shot at me, and i don't have line-of-sight to them, and they suck so bad they can't kill me, but I'm going to miss the funeral, no,no i gotta stay, because if I logout as normally it will be considered an exploit. And no I am not talking about ALT-F4 and never have, and yes I know the thread title. I am talking about simple logging off, which is now lumped in with ALT-F4 under the current criteria.

You are missing the entire point of the arguement. And I am not talking about ALt+F4, I am talking about hitting escape, clicking abort, and logging out, like normal, which is now at the leisure of the person that fires at you.

Bravo-Two-Zero you just joined the club, I am now going to remember your name and do the exact same thing, you better not log, even if an airplane landed outside your house, because you are going to be on camera, and since I fired a bullet towards your direction you are now playing at my leisure.

That was probably the dumbest reply I have ever gotten to anything ever. So now since you decided to empty a clip at me, and now miss the entire clip, and i was planning to logout, but now I can't because I am playing at your leisure and cannot log until you deem it necessary? Should I just walk outside standing up firing my weapon into the air to give you a better target as well? I am gonna start using fraps and I am going to remember your name, and I am going to fire oneshot at you when I see you, and then proceed to fire one shot at you for the next 4 hours. Because you can't log off now until I kill you.

I understand what Slyguy15 is saying, all these holier-then-thou people on the forums are acting like they are better then everyone else when the truth is, they do it too, whether they got the balls to admit it or not. I think the problem lies in the fact that people logout for different reasons, and combat is a hostile encounter between two willing participants. Otherwise it's just murder. Now if someone wants to fight, and then they proceed to lose the encounter but still live and then logout, that is poor sportsmanship, and exploiting. But what if someone does not want anything to do with combat at the moment or at all? What if they were just looting in peace, not even killing the zombies around the area just letting them do their zombie thing, and some a-hole and his buddies happen to find him and unload there clips into the place, still manage to not even hit the player, and the player logs out anyways because that's exactly what he was going to do after he was finished looting the place no matter what. There are people out there that just don't want to kill other players period, and I don't think they should lined up against the same wall and shot with the players who puss out in a firefight and log. I'm talking about the people who don't even fire a bullet in response, because they don't want to. Do we live in a world where the guy who want's to kill demand's trump a guy's who doesn't? P.S. I think that guy who didn't want anything to do with a fight, should reserve the right to logout exactly where he was going to if he hadn't been shot at, because his gametime was up for that evening, rather then having to run 2 miles away to avoid the players and zombies which are now also chasing him, to do the exact samething, because the player who wanted to kill him's right's trump his own rights. His playtime was done, he was going to logout either way whether it was in the supermarket he intended, or the woods 10 minutes later.

well I eventually did die like I day later, I had no clue how to handle good equipment, I didn't even fire the M14, it's like I had this fear of having good weapons. My greed overtook me and I headed into Elecktro and sure enough I saw flares everywhere like someone lit the town up like a christmas tree. Out of Morbid curiosity I headed for the two hottest spots, the firestations, and found a PDW, which I thought at the time was a good trade for the M9SD, and still is, as long as you have SD mags. One firestation down. The flares are dying down, I hear shooting at the Supermarket, so I figure it's now or never for the powerplant fire station, so I book it. Crouch-run inside and stop dead as I see a chemlight inside, which due to the design of the building I couldn't see till the very last minute, and as soon as I see it and start to look left, I see a huddled shadow in the corner and several flashes, and I hit the ground dead. I think my heart stopped that entire time, 4 seconds felt like an eternity. I felt a kind of sadness at losing that gear I had been so unnaturally blessed with. But then a smile crept up my face again as I looked forward to finding even better gear in the next life, and maybe even firing my gun, who knows? <_< @arched123 thanks! I am sure your's felt just as awesome to you at the time :)

that was your best start? :P my most amazing start was spawning near Balota, finding it completely untouched (a rarity usually, especially on a Daytime server) and finding a map, when maps were rare, a gps, a box of matches when matches were rare, a M9SD with 4 mags, a M14AIMPoint with 3 mags and a Coyote Backpack, and a can of Beans to get me to Cherno so I could loot the Supermarket, where I proceeded to find 4 water bottles, 8 cans of food, 6 sodas, a hunting knife, compass, watch, binoculars, and a camping tent. I literally jumped for joy. Of course finding a Hatchet, the last item I needed almost proved my undoing. This is when zombies broke legs like every other swing, and they broke mine, and I had to crawl my way from the one side of cherno to the other to get to the hospital, I did make it tho, through pure luck and got my hands on some Morphine Auto-Injectors and I never left home without em again. :thumbsup:

Removing the Respawn option is obviously more beneficial to the game then having it at the current time. I can still think of a few excruciatingly painful problems that arise from not having it tho. Like breaking your legs in the woods and being forced to crawl to the nearest town just to find a zombie to kill ya. Yes, the solution is carry morphine, but those that forget or don't realize are forced to endure 30-40 minutes of crawling, passing out madness, assuming they manage to find a town, I could see people being lost forever in the woods, going in circles till they dehydrate and die. Alas I still stand by what I said above, and I along with many others agree with Rocket and the Team's choice at this point in development.

killed by a shark with a handgun, i wouldnt lie about such a unique experience

don't forget a screenshot, or didn't happen

I hope I'll see ya ingame ;)

join us156, you'll see, you love posting in this servers thread anyways

Says my 15 days alive and 276 kills and counting, but keep talking, you're making yourself look like a really awesome and unless you are blind, a troll, or a hacker yourself, you'd know this game is suffering from a serious problem with hackers. Just look at the 9 million threads, or you probably did and decided to ignore them.

I'm not whining about it, im stating a fact. It's hard to manuever an ATV through the woods, so I don't know what your smoking, a UAZ you are definitely gonna bang up, Also this is a first person only server, even easier to bang it up. And a bus is simply too frickin big to get through the woods, theres no manuevering with that. Also this is the internet, people social network, this is a forum, a place to talk about whats bugging you. So if you don't like what I have to say, don't read it or don't respond, and I'd hardly take advice from a guy who joined july 19th and has 14 posts. Or did you get banned and are just trolling on this new username? oh wait let me cover your response for you: ROFLWAFFLE

Hi I was a frequenter of US3, I really liked that server, and I had some really nice stuff stashed away for a rainy day on it, does anyone know what happened to it? Is it gone for good? I loved Germany 14 and had some goodies stashed there and it went away and never came back, I fear US 3 has done the same. It's too bad it seemed like it had a decent amount of player traffic and it was a nice server :/

Thanks that's very generous of you, I think I actually visited US1308 at somepoint this evening. I usually stick to one server, but so many servers were going haywire after the patch that I had to do some server shopping. I will favorite your server and check it out and let ya know

Considering it was in the middle of the woods I'd think it was hacks if you got it with a UAZ, unless your friend is an expert driver and can get a UAZ through a forest in one peice

you have quite an interesting vision for Day Z, btw there used to be skins, people who murder other players got stuck with a Bandit skin, and people who didn't kill other players had a Survivor skin. Rocket decided to do away with those concepts to avoid labeling someone. Now instead, if you have a weapon and have it aimed at another player, you will hear their heart beat if they are a murderer, the more players they have killed the louder and more fast paced the beat is.

The ending could use some work, maybe you came back to life as a zombie and found a princess trapped in a tower, rescued her, and became a hero, until she pulled out a Mak and shot you for your beans.
