Hey Rocket, how's the anti-Alt+F4 system coming along?

Why yes, I even made a topic about it. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/41445-the-dayz-dream/

I was teleported with every single player to a rooftop by a hacker and then transformed into a goat. As my transition from a human to an animal was complete, I was in the process freed from mortal needs and thus received the greatest gift one can bear - Access to the goat tower.

If you're in shock, logging out simply makes your character remain in the server until the shock wears off. Simple and effective. Get a real d/c while running from zombies? Deal with it.

1. Inland is not very populated save for the airfields, but the larger cities on the coast are always filled with players thus making them extremely dangerous. 2. No, not anymore. 3. Yes, direct communication makes players near you hear you. Think of it like speaking in real life. 4. You dropped it. 5. Temperature, if it gets low you can get sick and start shaking 6. The hourglass means you are unconscious. 7. You can only break your legs, not arms. Broken bones are healed with morphine.

Oh damn, did I write all that in vain?

Okay, thanks. Mind clarifying how this system works?

Because they can

I, for one, don't mind the chaotic state of the game. Everything must go on to some direction, after all. I've been just wondering that is there some system in place to prevent Alt+F4? Is such system possible? I don't even care if someone dupes items or whatever, they can still be killed with skill and wit, but if someone disconnects the moment a shot lands near them, they are quite hard to take down.

The contents of my dreams are not mine to manipulate, I'm afraid. I, too like realistic zombies.

If you don't shoot everyone, you risk losing everything. Simple, and sad.

Last night I was out drinking, I barely managed to shamble home with my cousin. As always, in my drunken haze, my dreams get rather wild. I dreamed of DayZ, of DayZ rather different than it is now. This is how it went. We walked along a road with my flatmate, I instantly recognized that we were playing DayZ. As we moved on, we came across a majestic industrial complex, which resembled of a nuclear facility or some chemical factory. As from instinct, I knew that this had to be hotspot for murderers, but also a place of items to behold. Carefully we moved on and readied our M4s, we cleared the grounds around the facility to secure our safe entrance to it, but just as we were ready to enter the complex, someone opened fire on us. I was wounded, there was a person with a military skin I had never seen, proning in some corner waiting for people to come by. I took cover behind a wall so he couldn't see me and bandaged myself, after doing that, I took shots at him, and even though they all missed, it was enough to keep his interest on me and my friend managed to flank him and shoot him dead before he could act. Then they came. There was no time to loot the corpse, for the facility was filled to the brim with zombies. We ran to the north where we could see a hill and a forest, we ran to the edge of the wilderness, occassionally taking a few shots at the zombies pursuing us. Finally, we reached the top of the hill and turned around to take out the remaining zombies, as the situation took a calmer turn, we decided to stay there and scout if our little firefight attracted any human players. Eventually, as was expected, someone arrived at the scene. He wasn't the professional bandit we had expected, but some survivor in a maddened state, running around wildly and pulling zombies to him. We knew where this game had gone now, and we were still furious about the camping bandit at the facility, so we decided to murder the wild survivor. It only took a few shots. The madman went down and died before he hit the ground, but before we could end his rampage, he had attracted tens, if not hundreds of zombies from inside the facility. This is when we realized that this was no ordinary facility at all. No, this had to be the place where the infection took its root. The gargantuan mass of zombies started to run at us, and we tried to counter them with our rifles. For a good while, we managed to keep them at bay, but the more we killed, the tougher they became. Initially we had encountered only basic zombies seen everywhere in Chernarus, but now there was zombies full of broken glass, making them much more dangerous, there was zombies bloated in bile, full of disgusting pores and pustule. We were frightened by the sight because we didn't know DayZ had such zombies. As a cherry. On top of the cake, came, what appeared to be some kind of 'boss' zombie. It was animated like your regular monkey zombie, but with an abnormally bloated and large, infested and rotting head. He shambled with a green haze around him, and when we took our crosshairs upon the thing, we could see the boss's special name, as if he was a player. The haze around the creature implied that he spread some sort of an infection or disease, and anyone caught in it could be potentially killed, or even zombified. As the shambling horror started to make its way towards us, with tens of zombies in labcoats as his puppets, we decided that it would wise to run. We made it to the hills. Me? I waked up only to be bathed in disappointment as I wasn't playing real DayZ.
