500 second wait timer? Rant @ devs

[hotcakes 348]

Holy shit, I tested this to see for myself. I got a hop timer of 568 seconds.

Which it turns out is just enough time to prepare a meal before you start gaming. I made mac and cheese..

 

what did you make? ;)

In most games Queue times are frustrating and lead to bad reviews, in the dayz the general community ask for "moar queue times"!

 

In most games perma death is a bad idea and frustrating, yet the people of dayZ love it (so do I, not because of the punishment but because of how important gun fights become, the tension).

 

In most games running for hours and wasting time doing boring things is uninspired and time wasting without the fun part, hence why nearly every MMO out there has Mounts to improve traveling experience, Yet in DayZ community loves to run for hours viewing the same landscape over and over again. (funny how all bambi's I meet ingame are actually pissed off about the running, hypocripsy anyone, it's all good when you're killing others tho right?)

 

DayZ community = Take everything from Standard gaming that's proven to work: out, and go in the opposite direction by adding all the things that gaming has involved from and surpassed over the last three decades.

 

Then you have a product like DayZ.

 

DayZ is suppose to be about Immersion, Survival, Player Interaction, Fighting off Zombies, there are so many thing BIS wants to add into the game that will leave you trying to survive rather than the plain old Player vs Player.

 

You players who are so butthurt about Hoppers taking easy loot and not securing a kill, why don't you play a game like CS:GS, or COD, wait there isn't enough death punishment and greifing in those right?

 

Keep creating a game that appeals to only a small amount of gamers and alienate the rest of the potential gamers. Then cry when you don't have enough of a fanbase, developers stop support and hackers run rampart.

 

Sorry but you clearly did not do your homework before buying this game did you? Rather than people trying to change what the core of DayZ is(which isn't going to happen) go play those games you mentioned.

 

DayZ isn't and will never be a game of easy mode and convenience(well maybe until modding but that's a whole other kettle of fish), people really need to grasp that concept. A lot of people that play do know and understand what DayZ is, you may call us "fanboys" but at least we comprehend why we bought the game in the first place.

 

As for the timer... There are other reasons behind the timer other than the obvious server hopping/ghosting and that has been stated by Rocket and posted in this thread.

Again, I've never had an issue with whatever timer has been put out there and I got over 200+ hrs playing SA.

I returned to the same server I was playing on because like I said, there's only a 30s/60s timer for rejoining a server you were playing on.

Go ask Rocket what he thinks about this statement, he has mentioned on a few occasions that players have nothing to do except Player Vs Player each other. So he's focusing on survival aspects, I'm guessing what he means by this is that the game didn't work quite as intended (People just PVPing).

 

And Yes I know why the timer is there for techical reason, good, thats its mainly for technical reason's and not because of the ****crap that players like you are moaning about.

 

R.Neville you keep replying to my posts which aren't even directed at you, devil's advocate and trolling much?

Quick and easy fix to loot whoring hoppers = Make Millitary bases loot spawns equal to other buildings, remove the fact that there are some locations that provide shit load of ammunition and guns and suddenly you know what, people won't have to the urge to spawn in Airfields and campers won't camp them all night. (They already stated that once bows and crafting is properly implemented they will make guns and ammunition a lot rarer to balance out the playing field).

 

Quick and Easy way to fix combat loggers = Require a player to sit down (unique pose) and begin a countdown from 60 seconds when you hit 0 you logout and your character instantly disapears, if you suddenly see another player you could hit ESC, stop the countdown, get up and bring out your gun again.

 

Adding 10 minutes of queues outside of technical problems (as stated by the developers) is the wrong way to combat loggers.

I'd rather just publically execute server hoppers/combat loggers than force them to wait miniscule time periods, but I'm not Mao Zedong nor another dictator so that cannot happen. Deal with it.

Hello there

 

Youve been warned about your attitude before, this is your final warning. Do NOT insult fellow forum members.

[hooligan (DayZ) 38]

But Op can insult the dev team without warning?

[Stikko 0]

The timer made me search Google, go here, register and post this.

 

Basically, I think up to 600 seconds is pointless in fighting server hopping, because waiting and hopping is still the easiest way to loot. Those whimps will wait for half an hour if necessary. It doesn't changed a single thing, just an annoyance for players who get kicked from a server, suffer from connection losses and similar. Making a group of players wait 10 minutes just because one guy dropped sucks big time.

 

Some timer to prevent ghosting is good and necessary, but 5 minutes were already more than necessary.

[Ramblin Hans 118]

A. If you're complaining it fixes ghosting (maybe you fucking camp too much? think about that one :P)

 

You're right, sitting in a position in a game like this is retarded. I should run out in the street and chase down the guys firing at me! Let me quick get my P90, choose my marathon / lightweight kit, and get my C4 ready.

I reply and directly quote people that I feel like responding to, kinda the whole point of forums really. If I want to talk generally in the thread I do.

 

Trolling is not a game I play and you can think what you will but when someone clearly hasn't a clue to what they're talking about it deserves a response most of the time.

 

Just for the record when you logout you do sit down and remain in game for 30 seconds, this is to discourage combat logging. The 500sec timer in question is to alleviate server hopping/ghosting among other technical issues.

Oh that snobby behavior wow, I have no idea what I'm talking about do I? and replying to a guy who has no clue makes sense, one would just avoid contact if they felt something was hopeless. You sir are a Genius.

Maybe you you should search the definition of trolling up, you are directly replying to my general posts in ways that are trying to spark an arguement.

And here I thought you was actually reading my post seeing as you reply to them but you seem to be telling me information that I have already posted on this very thread, thank you for telling me about the despawn timer that I already knew about, however the one I was suggesting was different, didn't you notice?

 

You don't play a game of trolling right, then how about you stop sir?

Stop server hopping. Problem solved.

I didn't even cook the rice, I ate the whole bag because that's what my character does in DayZ.

Hrmm so basically if someone responds to something you post that you don't want to be corrected on or they show a difference in opinion, they're trolling? I really don't think forums are for you.

[Admiral_69 78]

Sorry folks, but this doesn't actually matter to loot hoppers. It is still way more efficient to loot hop in the NWAF.

Ghosters... I can't comment as most battles are over too quickly.

But server hoppers are severely punished by this. These are the people who are punished. People that are trying to join their friends, stop playing in the dark, kicked by admin, crash to desktop, server restart, etc.

Except you haven't corrected me on anything, the way you construct your sentences perceives that your opinion is more worthy than my opinion, and apparently my opinions = me being clueless (so says you)

 

I was just making general posts, with suggestions and ideas about the gameplay. You on the other hand, is picking bits of my posts and sparking an arguement with words such as, This game isn't for you, You shouldn't be on the forums, you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

Who died and made you the King? I think you have a lack of intellectual understanding here buddy...

No, you are a combat logger/server hopper trying to justify it anyway you can. Am I understanding that or are most of your other posts in this thread a figment of my imagination?

 

This game is definitely not for you. Move along son...
