XDARKNESS192 20 Posted June 22, 2012 i am getting Extremely annoyed with the KO system i was having internet issues a couple of days ago and could not find the server i was on b4 so i had to keep switching. i know you guys have a thing for people that switch servers for better items that you knock them out when they log in but i got off because i was getting tired of constantly getting dc'ed so i get on the next day and i get 5 min KO screen. played for an hour then got off. i tried playing today and still getting the KO screen when i log in. i know that this was setup to stop people from taking stuff from different servers just so they can have the best loot but im getting this KO screen for doing nothing. :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAD MEN 1 Posted June 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure that is a glitch (Spawning unconscious). As far as I know there isn't a punishment for server hopping at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livilaNic 13 Posted June 22, 2012 I logged into and out of many a server last night to get the best loot (for testing purposes), but I didn't have a KO screen. I think there was something around here about it happening for other reasons though. I can't find it atm, sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rakkasan 23 Posted June 22, 2012 There is no punishment for server hopping. This KO system is supposed to stop you from logging during PvP. It does not work and is completely random. Be happy you werent unconscious standing up, because when you regain you fall to ground and can't move. Then you have to relog and come back unconscious again, but can move after the penalty.

TheGoldElite 0 Posted June 22, 2012 Yeah Im sure there is a punishment for DC during PvP. IMO it should be changed for a system where you CANT DC for at least 5 minutes after or during a PvP encounter, which could be checked using either the current system, recieving or inflincting damage, or you could add a 360 LOS check, and if there have been players that could have spotted you within 200m, you must wait for the timer to clear, or else your body stays ingame if you force the DC.One problem could be metagaming, where player would attempt DC to confirm whether or not they say a enemy player, to see the warning.Another solution could be to add a global timer of at least 1 minute for any DC ever. You can resume control during the countdown if you wish, or if rocket is feeling mean, you could punish douches attemping PvP DC by stopping them reassuming control for being dicks :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laszers 6 Posted June 22, 2012 all of you are derp da ders, the reason it does this is because if you log out during shock then you have 5 min ko screen, other wise it is a glitch, go read the wiki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyalTerego 0 Posted June 23, 2012 I had the same thing happen, even switching servers, I accidentally hit abort instead of respawn, since I wanted to change my starting location to play with freinds. I managed to get locked into that crap for 15 min on the coast in a puddle of water. It was pretty infuriating. At least allow the option for us to respawn during the silly hour glass timers. Thats all I ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
