Grimey Rick 3417 Posted February 6, 2014 Was just playing with the wife and a friend. We decided to quit for dinner after making our way from Berezino to the north-eastern airstrip. We ran to some pine trees in the field just south of the airstrip, waited for about a minute in-game, then logged out. Upon logging in an hour or so later, my character appeared just in front of the prison on the hill in plain view of basically everywhere. The first sounds I hear? The FNX popping off, followed by, "You are dead". Yeah. Fucking awesome. This isn't the first that this has happened either; it just happens to be the first time that I ended up taking bullets to the face because of this terrible system. I definitely waited long enough. We were there for at least a full minute. Fuck. I agree that we need a valid logout system to deter combat-loggers, but this is not it. I've seen negative feedback when the World of Warcraft logout system has been mentioned, but... why? Find somewhere safe, click exit, a countdown timer appears, after the [20] second countdown, your character is logged out where you fucking logged out. Not ten feet from where you logged out. Not a mile from where you logged out. But exactly where you logged out. Crazy, right? I'm posting a screenshot of this system from World of Warcraft that I just took in case there's some confusion: 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Aquatic Land Walrus 565 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I walked all the way to Stary, and looted it up. Then, I decided to quit about a click out. So, I log off. The next day, I find I spawned all the way into Novy Sobor. Not just that, but a team of bandits were headed through, too. Had I had any ammo for my Mosin I might've fought, but I decided to bolt. Wish I could've shanked em in the back with a bayonet... Edited February 6, 2014 by The Aquatic Land Walrus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solodude23 649 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) So what happened to you was a bug where you respawn at a different location than where you logged out. It is not intentional and has nothing to do with the 30 second log out mechanic. This is fixed in experimental.

SxeDave 7 Posted February 6, 2014 Yes I agree, I lost some SKS ammo and food because I guess I logged out too quick after I picked it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raezion420 97 Posted February 6, 2014 It's just a bug where character locations were not being properly saved so your dude randomly moves some times upon log in. Its set to be fixed in a few days I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 6, 2014 The logout system works fine, but there's a known issue whereby it seems to take a while for the server to sync up and remember where exactly you were. I'd strongly recommend hanging about in the spot you plan to log out for a short while before hitting exit otherwise you can spawn anywhere from a few feet to a few hundred feet back the way you came.

skyline-gtr 130 Posted February 7, 2014 There is a thead about this, perhaps you want to join the discussion as to why they implemented the penalty before stablising the servers.http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/171844-talk-about-priorities/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeatHTaX 1217 Posted February 7, 2014 I mean I get it guys...but I think the point he is trying to make is...how the hell did this not get noticed in the experimental? That you...like...don't log back in where you logged out at, even after copious amounts of waiting. It's quite frustrating when you think about it :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenKade 73 Posted February 7, 2014 So what happened to you was a bug where you respawn at a different location than where you logged out. It is not intentional and has nothing to do with the 30 second log out mechanic. This is fixed in experimental.It's a bug that's way too common. The new logout system is going to be the next death of me when I spawn in front of a Cherno hospital instead of in a nice wooden cabin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 7, 2014 Maybe you misunderstand the issue is the server stability.We know all the netcode is screwy because of lag and desync, and I don't want to get in to a long back-and-forth with you over this, but it's a separate issue to the one yardpro reported in his thread. Not only is it a separate issue, it is a known issue, and not only known but apparently fixed on experimental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
