One easy way to stop combat logging

[Arthix 4]

Sleeping. Adding a mechanic that require players to sleep before logging out would be useful.

It wouldn't require items or anything, but it would just require someone to be in a prone position, vunerable, and unable to move for about 30 seconds.

Later, bonuses could be applied for sleeping in tents, indoors, or other favorable areas. That is more in-depth, but I think this basic mechanic would solve a lot of issues.

Also, if someone just ALT-F4s, make their body stay on the server for a few minutes after, making them vulnerable to dying and losing everything.

What do you guys think of this idea? Comments/questions?

Been suggested like 213089712398723 times already and the Devs already have something like this made. Should see it in a patch some time soon :)

Oh sweet! Glad to hear that.

I had some ideas for bonuses/penalties.

Ex: Sleeping outside in the cold makes you run slower for X amount of minutes. Also, sleeping in a building would make your hunger/thirst slower for X amount of time.

What are some other ideas for bonuses/penalties you guys can think of?

Hmm. It has been suggested before, but not a lot of times.

 

I like the original idea. I'm not much for the bonus system.

Could you give me a source for this? I'm on my phone so searching takes forever.

Hey guys I have an idea that can help you breath that I'm pretty sure I'm the first one to come up with but I didn't bother using the search function.

 

Inhale air.

 

What do you guys think of my original idea?

would you like it as a scrollwheel function or, mayeb a inhale bar and outhale bar you can hold to make it really real and if you outhale too much air there is a chance of going unconcious.

 

Like it!
