I sense from the hostile replys ive been a supertard and not actually looked at the forums today? Lots of same threads i take it apologies gents!

Rocket man,,,,, How do you feel about this announcement?Flattered or pissed off? Dude you need to get this thing rolling towards market and starting a stand alone. For those who dont know what The War Z is read this article........ http://uk.ign.com/ar...perience?page=1

You lose the same thing as in day-z - time.In EvE your ship is blown up which = money lost = time lost.Some ships are worth more than others.Day z you could reasonably feel decent about your gear within a day if your lucky.Your right some people would still log in a city maybe and still have the timer and get away with it but on occasion they would realize this would cause their death.I believe it is much more immersive to have to log somewhere secluded. Of course your right some emergency Real Life situation can occur and it may end you but all in all the pros to stopping log offskis far outway the cons dont you think? Im so sorry about the double quoting guys...im not sure what im doing wrong :(

Dude play dead is awesome and far to eazy to put in. Man this NEEDS to happen...simple elegant and brings a lot to the table in enhancing the PvP. !!!

This would still encourage log offskis though.Look at EvE again for the example real assets on the line gone when you fuck up.Same in day z if you fuck up you loose hours maybe days of gearing up (if your not exploiting - another reason why the timer needs to be significant in length)My point being the timer needs to be long enough that you are no way getting away once it has been triggered if you were to log off. 5minutes minimum 10max in my honest opinion. If you need to log for real life situation go somewhere safe...same in eve...consider every step you make in day-z.

Exactly mate this one fix will only work towards rewarding 'correct' play and punish those who have as of yet constantly abused mechanics to gear up and pvp. I <3 all the other mechanics in play including no difference in skins between bandit and survivor and the general grittyness of the game but in a player lead sandbox exploits lead to broken gameplay which hurts all the gamers experiences.Although different in many aspects DAY-Z and EvE share similar core gameplay tennants imagine factional warfare in DAY-Z :)

The more i think about this idea the more it makes sense.To make the 'aggression timer' also stop the server-hoppers that use an exploity mechanic to gear up i propose looting any item also triggers said agression timer.Voila a lot less players gearing up using server-hopping. Anyone have an actual idea how hard this would be to code in?

@ Enforcer. I think they could implement it though due to the way the database is central.Im assuming you would have a time value on connect/disconnect in the central database so i dont think it would be that hard to code something similar to my suggestion. It would be awesome if a dev (Rocket im looking at you my kiwi buddy) could answer if this is possible.Im not saying 100percent to implement it but is it possible?

I really think seconds are too short, you could easily fire on a human run to forest and log 99percent of time youll survive if the penalty is only 10seconds. Perhaps 10minutes is too long and i think you should be locked out of other servers during said agression timer.Perhaps locking your player ID in the database to that server for x ammount of time could work.If you tried a different server during your timer you would get a message that your timer is still up on xxxx server. I think 5minutes would be perfect but how this would be implemented i do not know. Im happy though you guys like the idea :) Lets get rocket seeing this! <3

Hiya gentlemen,ladies and Rocket if he hopefully reads this :) First off first post here ive been playing day z for a week or so and i must say what an awesome game it is,of course buggy as shit but its a real privilege to help test the alpha. My main gripe in the game is the ghosting and log offski's that happen when hunting other players and i think the fix would be easy enough to implement. I play a lot of eve online and i this is where i borrowed this idea from. If you fire your weapon/Get shot at/Have agrro'd zeds you start an aggression timer that last ten minutes.If you log off whilst your aggression timer is active although you can exit the client your character is still on the server in the same spot until said timer is gone. Im not a coder at all so how hard this would be to code in i honestly dont know but i do feel something similar to this idea should be implemented. So what do you think guys?Its pretty early and i havent had my coffee yet so hopefully i have explained this idea well enough. Any thoughts? Pagerage.xo
