Server restarts and timers

[thelonewarrior 886]

One thing that's really annoying me and other people i play with is the server restarts

No timers

No warning

I've been climbing a ladder, only to get a restart and appear standing in the air upon login only to then fall to my death

I've been swapping my items into a new backpack when the server restarts to login again without eiether backpack or a half empty one

I've had a server restart while on a street only to log in to another server only to hear my dying screams as zombies kill me or fatally wound me because I was forced to log in at a stupid location or been shot while logging in because I'm standing in the open

This is not a bug, it's something that I think should have been in there from the start as it ruins play a lot of the time

It is a simple thing to do, a 5 min warning would suffice

share your experiences with it

Sounds to me you have bad luck...... It is one of them things that will be in when it is put in.

Yes I want timers back, something like this happened to me too. At least I want a 5 minutes warning before the server restart.

a 5 min warning when a server is going to restart would be nice followed up with a 1 min warning in nice bold red text

If you want to dictate when and how a server restarts, rent your own.

 

 

That's what I did.

It's alpha and we're only testing the game so it's not a big deal to be honest.

 

Frankly, you were pretty damn unlucky. I've never had any issues with a disconnect that caused me to die or lose gear.
