muppet1856 25 Posted June 21, 2012 At approx. 12:00 (Midnight) GMT-5, I was killed by a sniper. My 3 remaining friends engaged the sniper, shot him, and he disconnected to avoid death. My Username is the same as here - Muppet1856. We were not able to capture his name as he disconnected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mirc00 7 Posted June 21, 2012 It's not cheating, it was just a bitch move from the sniper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaleno 4 Posted June 21, 2012 It is bannable. And how do you expect anyone to do anything without a name :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppet1856 25 Posted June 21, 2012 I don't have high hopes for the administration to get this done, but I am guessing the logs will show who killed me and bailed. The problem with a veteran server is you don't know their name.This isn't about sour grapes. The guy was a lousy shot and I could have dumped, but we had him 4 to 1 and he stir kept blasting away. My satisfaction in dying was that my friends would likely get his sniper rifle.I have died plenty of times in Days. Getting geared up is one of the most satisfying parts of the game. Scrounging until you get matches, a hatchet, and hunting knife makes this fun.Watching a little girl bail because he feels he cannot be punished is frustrating and explicitly a bannable offense.

muppet1856 25 Posted June 21, 2012 but we have to live with it till something is done about it. This is the forum to do something about it. Rocket has said, disconnecting to avoid death is an EXPLOIT. I just hope they are not hollow words. This game is about realism. Some of that is the fear that your shot will attract attention and could result in your death, so it had better be good. I love the realism.For instance, my current incarnation has a cold. I will have to infiltrate a hospital to get meds. I love the idea that I have to do that. It makes this experience unique. I wish there was a 30 second time out at a minimum with a 30 minute (+/-) cool down to rejoin. If people are going to make it a habit, then be punitive about it.

McFluffy (DayZ) 3 Posted June 21, 2012 With no evidence, it did not happen. They cant ban people based on hearsay. Or there will be chaos of apocalyptic proportions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muppet1856 25 Posted June 21, 2012 I don't want to flame here, but if you're not an admin/moderator or in a position to actually make a decision, you're a troll - find a forum where "First" is acceptable.IMO, a lack of action against people who disconnect is a endorsement of the behavior.
