Why is it so hard to implement a logout timer?

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

Almost every day I lose out on extra gear and kills. Why can't the devs just enable a 30 sec logout timer? Is it so hard for them to do after getting 10 million+ of our hard earned cash?

Priorities.

..you just want to combat log

Sure. But on the other hand I really don't want to make anyone wait for me to close a fucking game.

A fucking game?  You could actually play a game you like and that you can alt f4 in maybe!

If your friends cant wait 1 fucking minute for you then what sort of friends are they?    #getnewfriends

because if the devs decide to implement features they want to make sure they are 100% top notch and not just thrown together to appease the forum people. I think right now the devs are trying to make sure their existing featuers are 100% without adding in more complications of additional features. I personally think this is the best way.

 

Yea, they've implemented a gas stove!

It's usually implemented as a 'safe log out'

 

ie...log out fast/alt+f4 if you want...or sit there and watch for 2mins to make sure no shit goes down before ur character is removed from potential danger. tbh since you can insta die from a headshot, it's the same difference

 

my only first hand experience of functions like this
