Frell 80 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) "25 seconds until logout/Exit" If interrupted by pressing any key/being shot/hit it's canceled. Just like WoW (other than voice key obviously so you can tell whoever you're with that you're logging out) And extend the timer by 60 seconds if you've just shot a weapon. Alt f4 will still keep your character logged in for the same amount of time, so you'll just end up being killed with no chance of running/surviving. To stop loot farming just add a connect interval timer on the server list and multiply it by 2 every time you change servers rapidly Edited December 27, 2013 by Frell 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raynor009 204 Posted December 27, 2013 I'm sure they already have their own system already but it needs some more tweaking before release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frost20 20 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) This is how i feel it should be, but many argue that this games' hardcore nature makes crash security more and more important But as Sacriel and his buddys said "its 2014, we dont have the intermittent area timeouts like we used to back in the day, i timeout once or twice a month, if that" And if the game is truly server-side, then any real game/server crash would mean the crash of zombies too, so you would be fine in that situation Edited December 27, 2013 by Frost20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakercompany86 347 Posted December 27, 2013 A solid idea. This would help two problems. One is server hoppers. Two is the "logout so I don't die" people. While yeah it would suck to get cornered and indefinitely killed, thats what the game is about really. It sucks, but that's why we play DayZ. You have to make choices based on risk vs reward. Never let your guard down :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timmymachine109 (DayZ) 235 Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) If you listen to Rocket's streams they already have these features made (Pretty much exactly as you have described) and are waiting to release them in a patch.
