Logging Out Location

[...Viper... 7]

Just want to know what you think about Log-in Kills

Example:

You scout a place/building for a hour, you go in and search for stuff...AAANNNDDD BOOOOM; You are dead!

This game mechanic doesn't reward players who take time to scout and be careful. I was killed a few times this way and was also few times lucky to log in just the right moment.

Just want to know what you guys think / How often does it happen to you

Should it be changed? and how?

Will it be the same in SA

Don´t log in / out in stupid places and don´t do rambo because you scouted a place 10 minutes. Who knows, maybe even someone with a sniper 10 feet away from you have been scouting it too, and when you run into the city he shoots you.

My point here is, never feel safe.

Maybe when you login, your character would 'cough' once.

That doesn´t seem too logical.

Yeah, never log out in a city. Find a pine tree or something to dive under. And yeah, you can scout a place for however long you want, but the truth is, you have about a 50/50 chance that there is a sniper watching that spot or some one is going to try to loot it also. You just have to be careful and plan ahead for the mission. Figure out what you need, and if you have a tent, drop off any valuable gear you don't need and don't want to lose before you begin the op.

For every patient player who dies, there is a patient sniper.

Stop getting sniped. Play as if there is a sniper watching you, even if there isn't. Most of all, think like a sniper.

This has nothing to do with snipers. I mean that somebody Logs in behind you and kills you.

Well Can I suggest that all players are spawned back into the game 100 meters away from where they logged off from?

That would offer a better game an also stop dead any combat logging and ghosting!

Hm, i am playing now since around half a year and i have not been killed once by a player who logged in behind me. Lots of my playtime i like to spend in high traffic areas and i even tend to log out at "stupid" places sometimes.

Dont get me wrong, i dont want to say that your point is not valid, i just want to understand what you do that may.provoke these problem.

Only times where i happened to meet another guy while logging in i was when i logged out in firestations or apartments (which is dumb but hey, im lazy sometimes ;) ) and none of them shot me because i immediately explained myself in direct com. And the only one i killed while logging in was an alt-f4 guy that did not have enough patience before logging in again.

I actually like this idea. Maybe not coughing but there should definitely be some kind of noise made that would make other players aware that you are around, especially indoors. I think this would discourage people from logging out in lets say a military barracks to keep checking on loot.

Who's to say it was someone logging in? You could have easily missed someone being sneakier then you and more willing to just dart in and out while you're sat in a tree pissing yourself with worry about losing your gear for an hour.

I like logging out in the middle of a open field.
