Combat Logging Will Increase With Update: Log Out Timers

[Irenicus (DayZ) 289]

Screw log out timers.  Characters should be locked to server.  You wanna hop, you start over

Lol. I think you don't understand the idea of a public hive.

Yes I don't understand the idea of a public hive :rolleyes:.  Spare me.  I just think the idea is stupid in a game that's suppose to be about survival.  Best way to survive DayZ, hop servers until you are fully kitted out.  Kind of defeats the purpose.

I hope its 2 minutes or more on most servers.

So, you've got both things you want coming in the next stable patch. A log-out timer and a re-log delay. Can we move on now, please?

I moved on since my first kos as i never whined about that. I whined just now 'couse of whiners (lol), forum is full of those sausages that need mummy take theyr hand and guard them from bandits or hoppers. So sad.

Anyway i don t like that much the delay thing, a simple timer wasn t enough ?? Maybe if 30s was too low make it 60s ? There are thousand of legit reasons to change server and that delay thing sound like shit honestly.

PS

Looked the 2 links and i can find only mentions to a 30s logout timer, awesome for me

Let s agree to disagree hopping for loot is just lame for many reasons but needed atm since loot dont respawn, it should be a priority since that could eradicate most of loot hoppers.

Maybe once every 8 hours loot should start respawning.  This game is about survival, not who can get the best purple epics

I think both measures are being implemented to counter ghosting, combat logging, and server hopping.  Seems to be a fairly elegant solution, without being heavy handed.

 

How do you judge something like this, without it being put to use by a large amount of players?

 

All that alpha is is testing.  Get it through some of your skulls.  Try it, if it doesn't work, tell someone.

I have never "needed" to server hop to survive. Servers reset.
