Loud, 10 Second Sound On Spawning, Hearable Within ~200M Spawn Delayed By 5 Secs

[Cullis 7]

So, my suggestion is.

When respawning into game, there's going to be a ~10* second loud sound, attenuating with distance. 
More refined variant -  the better equipment the player has, the further would the sound carry. 

Spawning occurs  5 seconds after sound starts. 

Wilhelm scream, slowed 5 times and a bit louder would be appropriate.

This would force people to log out in forests and the like. 
It'd should also really easy to implement..

EVEN BETTER!

 

Have people spawn Thor style! Huge beam of light and a tornado visible for miles, followed by a mild earthquake.

 

Perfect combat logging solution, we can all stop worrying about this now. I will await my Nobel prize while this is implemented.

way too much.

 

Maybe Fucking 20 meters, but fucking 200? Holy shit dude, thats the whole town/city knowing your location before you even spawn....Even if you are "out in the woods" 

What, do i need to spend 10 minutes WALKING up the hills to get away from town just to log out?

 

The better the equipment the louder? This is a fucking handicap.

 

Add on the games desync rate and this shit is horrible.

 

Fuck this shit.

There is already a fix in the new exp patch for combat logging and server hopping, this would just be ridiculous.

[burkino_026@yahoo.com 14]

this haters hate this idea because they're probably the ones who combat log and ghost.

I am no angel. I've combat logged a couple of times. One time it was because I've logged in what i thought was quiet and covered location only to find someone there ready to kill me. I thought "no, fuck it. Not gonna kill me while i log in. Unfair" and i logged out. Just unfortunate circumstance. The other time I was looking around the NW field at night to see what kind of loot there is. Kind of server hopping there, but for curiosity, as i never had a high geared setup before that. And someone logged almost next to me so i panicked, literally adrenaline rushed, and logged out in a flash.

 

But on a normal basis, I get into the woods or in a house outside town, to log out.

 

The idea of having a loud sound can be a counter for ghosting and server hopping, but just as it is would be a massive handicap for EVERYONE, even the random guy who just happens to log out in a quiet town (at the time), and re-log the next day in the middle of a shoot-out, or right next to a bandit.

If you're going to suggest a loud logging in sound, then i suggest, on top of it, a brief, 10 or 20 seconds timer upon log in, where your character is frozen, and invulnerable, so you can assess your situation, thus preventing an accidental log in into what you thought was a safe place and now is a war zone. 10-20 seconds in which, yes, you give away your position, but also you can decide not to proceed with the login.

If tied to a log out timer, then it wouldnt pose an advantage to ghosters or combat loggers, and server hoppers, well, if one is going to server hops, he/she does it in a quiet server anyway, so it's more down to log-out timer to discourage this practice.

Read the current exp patch notes, there is a log out timer of 30 seconds.

I am always constructive when I post a disagreement.. But cmon.. This is ridiculous.

Cullis.

 

Making killing freshspawns easier since 2014...

 

This must be the worst suggestion evah!

Are you some kind of sadist? Why would you ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want this?! I read something similar on Reddit I think. I can't tell you who, but the jist of what he was saying was : When a player spawn into the game within about 10-20 meters a message pops up that says something like "Something doesn't feel right". If anything this is a much better idea for anti-ghosting.

While I think we can all agree this isn't the best idea, you've got too admire the voting option 'I hope you die, horribly."  ^^

EY YO HAAAAAAY!!!!

[terminal_boy 860]

No. Just no.

[Elie 11]

No...for it would scare the living daylights out of the wildlife ; making their meat less tasty/effective due to stress hormones

[boneboys 7988]

Don't bother with this one Rocket, would be a game breaker.
