gamer222 86 Posted December 28, 2013 When someone is trying to log out there should be countdown of 15 second and plus public message which player is going to leave... For example guy got caught by three people he doesn't want to be taken as a hostage so he wants to log, he thinks that he can get away but what he doesn't realize that everyone can see on public msg that he is leaving, if my name is xxxplayernamexxx and I'm trying to leave the server that name should pop out everyone could see it and plus I will have to wait 15 second too for that, this will definitely help and people will not combat log if this is implemented...

dulix11 731 Posted December 28, 2013 Won't work...Alt+F4 completely shuts down the program, regardless of whether its the internet, Steam or DayZ. It terminates everything, so the game won't get a chance to say 'captainaltf4 is leaving'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gamer222 86 Posted December 28, 2013 I believe Rocket has he's own solution for combat logging , but if I'm him I would do this cos it's very simple, are you really want to quit this game (Yes/No) clicks Yes your name pops out on public msg and you wait 15 second...if you do alt+f4 your character will not be saved and you will lose everything...if Dean could do this it will change battle logging forever...and I believe he can do it....

dulix11 731 Posted December 28, 2013 I can't be bothered to go through everyones posts, so forgive me if someone already posted this. I think the server should only save your character / equipment if you go into the menu and click 'exit'. Any other method of exiting won't save your player and he'll simply restart where he was before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamer222 86 Posted December 28, 2013 He just needs to make that alt+f4 is like committing suicide...and if you want to quit normally your name will pop out on public server + you will wait for 15 second countdown ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
on3c3nt 185 Posted December 28, 2013 No, thats stupid, because it would effect people, who log out normally to quit playing, too. Deans possible solution was to make a timer when logging into another server right after log out which gets longer the more you "hop".. this is a lot better than waiting for log out. Loosing all gear with alt-f4 isn't a good idea, because this might affect people that press it if their game crashes or similar things... you just can't implement options, which might affect players who do not combat log 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaxUK 61 Posted December 28, 2013 Wow, yet another topic on an issue that has had an official response since day 1 of alpha. There is a system, it is no yet implemented, it will likely be the same one as the mod, it will be implemented when Rocket feels it should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
