DCing from snipers, snipers complaining.

[Krieno 0]

Maybe there needs to a function that says - If Player is Bleeding= TRUE ; Then Player dies when they disconnect.

This would limit a good deal of DCing.

problem ist than the server going off or your network going down... ^^

I was crouch running through a field in my ghillie suit when a I hear a car off in the distance. Immediately, I mash the prone button, and I look to my right. A UAZ comes blazing out of the tree line, leaving a huge trail of smoke behind it. The UAZ turns right towards me and I'm prone, I dont even have time to roll out of the way. This all happened in less than 5 seconds. I didnt want to lose my first bison sd and m240 i got on a single run through nwa. I disconnected.

For shame.

That bleeding idea is actually quite good. Trying to disconnect when bleeding could pop up an infobox saying you will die of bloodloss if you disconnect. And if u just shut down the game = disconnect your guy could just stand in the server for maybe 30sec before automatically disappearing.

So if i'm bleeding and have to go do something in real life, but not actively engaged in PVP than I still have to suffer?

I once spent a whole day(a good 6 hours at least) just lying on the hill at North East Airfield, sniping people who tried looting the place, calling my mates once I had confirmed a kill so they could come and loot the body. I ended the day with 5 kills, I enjoyed it. Even the times where it stayed quiet for hours, this is what snipers do, and I accept the burden.

U mad?

What is the point of DCing when your bleeding?

Are you using the DCing to get away from Zeds,???

I don't see your case?

[TheMachine 803]

People just don't like dying and use any exploit they can (along with an justification they can think of use said exploit) to avoid it.

People are scum cowards, but I'm sure it's ok when they're the ones doing the killing.

They just refuse to play fair and come here to try to justify it.

Whatever, it'll be patched out eventually and they'll just make threads whining about PvP.

[CongressmanAlexShrub 1]

There's nothing more satisfying that denying your killer from getting your gear.

So the epitome of satisfaction in Day Z is directly proportional to that which you are complaining about?

I can't remember ever having complained about snipers..

[Slyguy65 499]

OP' date=' you are admittedly the ALT-F4'ing scum that this community (and myself) hates.

[/quote']

All the people bringing up the disconnecting like yourself are just butthurt snipers that probably had it happen to them amiright?

TBH i did it once or twice under special circumstances....since i did not explain those i don't see where you get off thinking you have the right to tell me how to play....for example one time i was playing with really good gear spent DAYS getting something IRL came up i had to get off the computer instantly....i was gone for 5 minutes....ya i came back i was unconscious and bleeding my timer was half way...guess what that means i was just shot for the hell of it....not to be looted for survival sake so i don't give a fuck if it is "wrong" to alt f4 i had to go and i could'nt open the stupid menu so ya i alt f4'd.

P.S i was standing in a field....no threat....gear wasn't taken....ya so i was shot for the fuck of it...when the game wants to take it self seriously (life actually becomes valuable instead of something to take for fun) then i will take the game seriously....until then i will quit whenever i damn well need to (or even want to). And i don't care who it pisses off, cause i know it will only piss off one type of a person...the person who snipes and hides and has it happen to him. I think its a nice balance believe it or not.

Yea it's not like you have the ability to kill the bandits or anything. Rocket needs to give PvE players a tool to fight bandits! D/C ABUSE FTW!

[Slyguy65 499]

The answer to the first post is simple: because rocket said that dcing to save ur life is forbidden... the game is supposed to be realistic if ur getting shot at u should die' date=' and start again or fight for ur life

[/quote']

Dude....you know it i know it one guy said it...people will use whatever tools are available to succeed....and all the hypocrites who keep saying OMG YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT....i know for a fact you have done it at least once...if you haven't your lieing cause ya have no matter how small the reason you know you have DC'd at least once for some reason or other...

P.S "the game is supposed to be realistic" ya it is supposed to be except last time i checked realism implies the laws of physics (zombie behavior) and at least some value for human life (last time i checked the walking dead didn't have people shooting each other for fun 99% of the time), the way both are portrayed in the game are unrealistic....if you want to try arguing the realism of the value of human life and how zombies ignore physics be my guest.

Can't tell if you are sarcastic or serious cause it sounds legit to me...plus its not just PVE its the pathetic snipers themselves who also DC if they get spotted so ya, the only reason they don't DC is cause they know they are safe...cause they are hiding....

I love how everyone thinks cause i admitted to doing ONCE they assume i do it all the time...hell no. IN FACT i hate DC spammers as much as i hate people who kill for the fuck of it.

This post should have been titled: "IM A HUGE QUEEFING VAG!"

Umad?

You all should worry more about the game itself then how others play it.

Fact: If random survivor dc's before sniper kills him' date=' sniper gets pissed.

Fact: If sniper kills random survivor, then random survivor gets pissed.

There will allways be someone getting pissed about something. That's PvP for you.

Why dont you all worry about why the zombies seem to be a crossing between Usain Bolt, David Cooperfield, Einstein and a German Sheperd?

[/quote']

the difference is people DC'ing to avoid death is an exploit. getting sniped is part of the game

and whether or not that is the biggest issues in the game is besides the point

It may be an exploit in fact people who do it constantly are pathetic, getting sniped...part of the game...last time i checked though the game is about "surviving" not playing duck hunt.

got to admit I thought this op was hilarious. I'm not a bandit but I do think of a DC as pretty cheap until he painted this picture. In this scenario there is no semblance of fariness or a fight in the slightest. I mean think about it' date=' was it not the bandit snipers intent to very simply, ruin the time of the other player? Yet when the other player responds in kind suddenly it is unfair? Very ironic.

[/quote']

Yep, it is even more hilarious when all the snipers who ever had this happen to them come and start flaming the thread.

It is like proving my point ten fold i love it TBH.

I think a lot of snipers here are under the false impression that Slyguy is insulting their playstyle. Here's how it goes: If you don't whine and complain about targets DC'ing' date=' then he ain't talking about you. He's talking about those who do. And (while I don't DC), he is exploiting a glitch, it isn't really anything to hide. PLENTY of people do it- too many to all be punished.

[/quote']

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

P.S I like how you also call it a glitch TBH i view it as a way to combat glitches.

examples

Walking up a staircase and or grocery isle and break a leg...ya i DC and wait for help cause i have friends....i see nothing wrong with that im using an asset to help me with a problem i shouldn't even have.

In an apartment building killed 30 zombies, they glitch up to top floor through the floor, they glitch through the walls. Ya i DC cause i when i signed up for the game i was told i was fighting zombies not ghosts...

In a school...shooting zombies...clearly seeing zombies spawning right next to the buildings non stop....ya...if i see 20 zombies around a building and decide to kill them....i should not have 70 zombie kills and counting...so ya

Those are a few logical and fair reasons to even do this "exploit" if you think what i do to avoid bullshit is wrong then i don't want to be right.

Im not going to be a mindless sheep who just sits there and dies saying

"well this game is perfect and without error so dieing is the only right choice"

When those above three examples can no longer happen and human life is given at least SOME VALUE so as to deter constant PVP then i will be glad to see disconnection penalties until then i will deal with those issues the only way i know how to (disconnecting)

Granted the "infinate zombies" scenario is "escapable" now due to LOS mechanics...i DC'd because well i was done playing so im like eh these zombies won't stop spawning so i just DC'd and exited.

Funny you say that because Rocket actually did say that it was very easy to patch out the deus ex machina by ALT+F4. Since he hasn't done it yet I can only conclude that it's either not important enough or that he wants to fix pvp before that.

[fosty99 160]

Have i DC'd from a sniper before' date=' yep. What when you have helicopter crash gear and you get shot at by some guy who just wants to kill you for the fuck of it and you have FRIENDS who can save you. Why not.[/quote']

This cunt deserves a ban.

He said it was easy once a certain change was made to ArmA via the beta patch.

And presuming that already happened when he introduced the "avatar persists 5 seconds after log out" change in the patch notes, it didn't work at all. So guess it wasn't as easy as he thought it'd be :/
