Or atleast try it for a bit to see all the shit that game is failing at. Would hate to see the DayZ standalone repeat War Z's aweful design choices. Still looking for a way to get a refund.
Some ideas and suggestions in this thread. with more people discussing these ideas maybe they will be implemented http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/47334-solution-for-alt-f4-and-server-hopping/
i like your logout ritual idea. Though i think simplifying it even more so than a campfire or a tent would be the best option, as starting as a new player you will not have access to these things. Take out the tent/campfire and give every player a new "tool" item you start with to allow them to sleep. treat it like the hatchet where you can only activate it in the woods. you can log out seamlessly in the woods after a 5 second (or so) animation to lay down. Lets be real...you can walk 5 min or less to a forest in this game. Any player who disconnects while playing or alt f4s should stay in the game for a couple minutes...sorry but it isnt the games fault your internet crapped out or your comp crashed. I think a user friendly approach to non-intentional disconnects could still include zombies despawning.
