Server hopping prevention

[Spesago 13]

Another suggestion i just thought of.

 

Server hopping has long been abused in dayz, in the mod it was often used to bypass defences on things people have built or to move around safely.

In standalone it is used to farm items and gain an unfair advantage.

 

My suggestion is make each character locked to a server like with private servers but have the ability to upload a character to the hive and then download it to another hive server.

Doing this will lose all the items that are server specific like vehicles and tents etc and it will also cause your location to be removed and you will spawn on the coast like a fresh spawn only with the gear and health status is kept.

 

This means trying to farm items is pointless as you would have to travel to the items location fresh on each server and the same goes for trying to sneak around someones base defence.

doesnt stop people waiting till its quiet and sneaking in then logging out though

How many times will someone make a post about server hopping with the same idea?

As stated above, please use the search function prior to making a topic, your idea is good but great minds think alike :)

Today I missed shooting a  hopper ;(

 

He just stood around in the military base without a weapon in his hands - but on his back - and was looking around. So I just was nice and didn't want to shoot him on sight. I talked to him and he disappeared. After this, I realized he  was hopping and combatlogging. Damn!

 

Err... back to topic: There's allready a prevention announced by rocket,, which will release soon, so just... le'ts wait for it.
