maninthewall 470 Posted April 13, 2013 Are there any sorts of servers where you only get 1 life, once you die you cannot respawn before the next server restart?That would be pretty cool B) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaffarov37 125 Posted April 14, 2013 This is a interesting idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badluckburt 974 Posted April 14, 2013 Interesting, I like the idea. It would fix the 'loot your body'-thing that a lot of people do. Do you think it should be implemented on all servers? It might pose a problem for those people with a high ping to most servers, if they die too often they might run out of servers to play on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted April 14, 2013 I wouldn't like it because if the restart times were set times, people could base their play around them, taking more risks before a restart. If the times weren't known, the clan running the server could easily restart when they need to respawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how that could be countered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Restarting the server would reset it for every player but those that didn't die would still have their gear so I don't see a problem with that.Let's say you attack a camp belonging to the clan who runs the server. They have two or three guards that you quickly kill, as you're looting their tents and vehicles the server restarts. Now, instead of having all the time in the world to loot their camp, they're now on their way back to the camp to retaliate. Granted they'll have to re-gear, but they could have tents & vehicles stashed other places making that return trip very short.Now, if it happened the other way, where you died defending your camp, you might have to wait for hours or even a day before they decide to restart the server, plenty of time for them to clean you out completely.It would just be another thing that is under the control of the people running the server. Not bad if the server is run properly, but it is human nature to take advantage of your situation. Edited April 14, 2013 by bad_mojo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish some admins would be more mature and remain impartial even when it concerns themselves but sadly that's not the case :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

person915 345 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I think that the discussion in this thread can be compromised.As your politician, I would like to remind you that I was elected fairly in an official election held by myself, in which I received a 100% ballot vote. The vote took place Monday, April 5th, at 6:13 A.M. There were 1 elections cast, which had my name on it.Anyway, if you could have a graceful server crash, but a spontaneous one, then how could people base their actions on it? Right now, a server restarts with tons of warnings and things STILL get screwed. If that stopped happening, then they could set a default time only known to the server owner, in which is the base time between restarts that the server has to restart again, and also an amount of hours/minutes/seconds that has to pass before the server can think about restarting again. So the server decides to restart, and everything is fine assuming we can make it restart gracefully (I say 'we' because I'm like a soap-opera fan who feels involved in character's choices and am totally involved in the dev team for the mod, and Jamie should have married Brad, not Angela, just so you know).
