spawn delay is nice, but 300 seconds is way too long

[bioned 36]

i like the new spawn delay, getting rid of hoppers and battle loggers

 

but dont you think 300 seconds is too long?

 

i mean thats a solid 5 minutes 

[gibonez 3633]

Sounds good to me slowly hopefully they increase it.

If you're getting 300 second timers, then you're server hopping. No compassion from me sir.

wasnt asking compassion from you sir

 

i guess its considered to be server hopping when a server restarts and you have to "re"join

 

lets think before we type 

 

shall we?

exactly its suppose to seem way to long, So then you don't want to hope servers and get a timer. If it where 30 sec would you really care if you had to wait that long, no you'd just hope servers constantly

It wouldn't be 300 sec if the server restarts and you rejoin, unless you have done it twice in a short period of time. Which would imply that you didn't stick to one server.

It can jump straight to 5 min with 1 rejoin (dont know why ) but usually when i get a server reset i get a wait time of 9 seconds its ment to and usually works in the more you jump it increases up to 5 min...

Was going to play with a friend, logged onto a full server and he couldn't connect.

 

Dem feels when I had to wait 300 seconds after and he cleared out the barracks in that time.....

i did

[custombark 16]

Only time I've had problems with the timmer is when the GPU bug was rampant. Now I found a server that is very close to me and thats my new (low ping) home.

Never received a timer from rejoining a server on restart. Lucky me

[oregonized 673]

You obviously did more than leave the server and rejoin when it restarted to get a 300 second timer.  Be honest, bro.

[Karmaterror 982]

When I DC I only get a 30 second timer for rejoining quickly. If I DC again within 30 mins then its the 5 min wait though. But really when playing a game like dayz 5 mins is nothing, and well worth it to combat hopping :)

i am... seriously

 

i cliked on the server to join it again after i got kicked due to server restart

[Hethwill_Khan 233]

Spawn time should be tied with number of players in a server.

 

The less players the more time. The more player the less time to the minimum of 180 secs for a 39/40.

Server restarts don't invoke the relog delay, only clientside events and being kicked by admins.

I think that would be the tail end of the standard 30 s logoff timer. I've managed to catch that a few times on restarts as well.

How hard is it to entertain yourself for 5 minutes?

 

Read a book or some shit.

[Ovomaltine 30]

no its not too long: (there are even more problems still open)

but they should make relogging possible on the SAME server u have been last time without a delay

Not sure how you've been finding the last experimental build, but it crashes on me MANY times or fails to successfully load into a server (I'll get the "waiting for host" on the screen for a very long time unless I rejoin) and I'm being penalized for having to wait 5 minutes every time... that's just not cool. 

 

When we are in a full retail build, then I don't care if the timer is up to 15 minutes, but while in alpha - as things are still very broken, it should be more forgiving if the game is the cause of leaving the server.

Except you don't get hit with the timer when a server restart. Fail OP is fail. Stop hopping server like an idiot and play the game how it should be played.

[DMentMan 707]

whatever stops the server hoppers and ghosting is good

5 min let's you stretch leg's and stuff;)

I've had several times my game crashed and when I came back I had to wait about 200-280 seconds.. I also had several times where I spawned fresh while I wasnt supposed to, so I obviously need to reconnect only to wait for so long.

Minor inconvenience that prevents a bigger problem.

I vote for a endless "you need more time to connect" system by a factor of two.
