  1. it will be 5 seconds ? really ? that wont change ANYTHING.. just hide behind a bush/tree/wall/corner etc hit ALT+F4 and ur safe. nothing changes. well maybe ppl getting knocked out will die now.. thats all. i really appreciate the effort rocket puts into this mod and i love him and the mod, im a developer myself and i know how much work this means, but using my common sense, i know 5 seconds is JUST NOT ENOUGH. pls take into consideration : 1. hide behind something and logout. most ppl wont catch u withing 5 seconds. ( as mentioned ) 2. medium distance fights even make it impossible to catch up to ur opponent if u dont kill him right off the bat and he manages to escape behind something and logs out 3. long distance fights - same as point 2, even more impossible. as result, 5 seconds are by FAR not enough. more like 80+ seconds. u may think thats way too much ? read point 1-3 again. i dont even need to mention that its impossible to get even 100m out and reach ur opponent, let alone more than 100m. he will just hide and log out. the next result is that poeple try to stay away at least 600+ meters from their opponents, in case things go wrong just hide and log out. sniping will occur more often, making unscoped/unzoomed weapons not obsolete but way less important and effective. one shot weapons like the AS50 will have an extreme advantage over regular weapons, even more than they have already now. this are just my thoughts and i know it wont be SO dramatic, but there will be clear metagame shift. ofcourse there would have been a metagame shift for sure, with the introduction of a logout timer, but 5 seconds will just shift it into the sniper heavy area, cause a low timer benefits this so much because u still can easy log out.
  2. well maybe 80+ seconds is too much, that may be over the top, but 5 seconds is just not enough, u can even escape from low range fights with that low cooldown

    ALT F4 Survey

    logout timer has to be atleast 60+ seconds. u can alt+f4 but ur character would still remain standing where u alt+f4'ed. u may think 60+ seconds are too much ? think again! firefights occur between 0 - 1200m or even more. imagine engaging someone with an assault rifle at 300m, but he just crawls behind a tree/corner/whatever and logs out. now test it and go in game and see how long u need to run a distance of 300m. and now test it with even higher distances. now comes the interesting part : a logout timer lower than 60+ seconds will just encourage sniping from far distances A LOT ! everyone will try to stay away at least 600m away from his opponents, in case things go wrong u can just hide and log out, ur opponents will never catch up to your position in time. dayz will evolve to a sniper simulator... well maybe it wont be THAT harsh, but u can see what i want to say. dont get me wrong i will be happy about even a 10 second timer to prevent someone alt+f4'ing i just knocked out and what would be a sure kill then, but we have to look at the whole combat system involving long distance fights.
