krihelion 175 Posted July 12, 2014 Not helping the situation when I need to log into 3-4 different servers to which one actually saves my character... What happened to the good old fashion 30 second timers or no timers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irish. 4886 Posted July 12, 2014 Last night I logged into an LAX server to check my stable regular character, just to make sure she was doing ok.. I get in the game and see this damn wall of red text about server hive and resetting my character so I panic log out (still not sure if it fucked me) and then tried to log in elsewhere.. 99 seconds + Please Wait for the same period of time.. effffffffffffffffffffff I moved on to hardcore after 24 seconds.

n1kko 326 Posted July 12, 2014 This timer is ruining my life. My wife now thinks I'm a server hopper and has threatened to take the kids and leave me to "spend the rest of your worthless days server hopping". I just can't deal with it anymore. She's going to take half, and I'm going to be emotionally devastated because she will never know the truth. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibonez 3633 Posted July 12, 2014 Those 300 second timers need to come back. server hopping is so rampant at the moment. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWiser 251 Posted July 13, 2014 They just need to tweak it so it better recognizes when your actually hopping vs a disconnect or whatever 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibonez 3633 Posted July 13, 2014 Thats because of the loot spawn problem nothing more.... Loot respawning is not going to do a daam thing to stop people from server hopping the only thing it will do is give those people even more chances for loot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Briljin 102 Posted July 13, 2014 Those 300 second timers need to come back. server hopping is so rampant at the moment. Because the only time one needs to connect to a server is because they are server hoping and never because the game crashed or they lost connection? Seriously, I have to wonder if some of you actually take a second to consider what you say or just blurt out whatever stupid crap pops into your head...

The minor inconvenience that would rarely happen when you crash or lose connection is well worth it to stop server hoppers. I would gladly wait 300 secs after being disconnected if it stops server hoppers or annoys them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not about stopping them it is about slowing them down and annoying them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HIHBGaming 14 Posted July 13, 2014 They should of left the ctd when leaving a server, I think this annoyed the hoppers most. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagwood 680 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Seriously, guys. If you get disconnected twice in a 2 hour session, that's 10 minutes you lose. There's your cost. The benefits? Actually finding military bases that are unlooted after the first hour the server has been up. If you could see beyond that loss of 300 seconds every now and again, you wouldn't be so afraid of combating server hoppingEdit: phrasing!

trev186 389 Posted July 13, 2014 Loot respawning is not going to do a daam thing to stop people from server hopping the only thing it will do is give those people even more chances for loot.i disagree quite a bit...why deal with timers and with the chance of spawning in somewhere and dying when u can just wait for the area u just looted and know is safe to respawn loot? Just leave and watch from distance until the respawn happens and reloot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just leave and watch from distance until the respawn happens and reloot That is not how respawning loot will work. It will not work at all how it works in the mod. Loot respawning will simply spawn loot every couple of hours across different quadrants of the map loot will not be triggered by players. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWiser 251 Posted July 13, 2014 I think its funny how much people are concerned with something like server hopping. Like to the point they would hinder their own gameplay to disrupt it. I could care less if people hop servers for loot it just means I get more loot when they die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could care less if people hop servers for loot it just means I get more loot when they die. How would it hinder our gameplay. If we get disconnected or crash something that rarely happens to me I wait to rejoin no problem. If this means server hoppers are waiting 15 minutes to hit 3 servers when in the past it meant they could hit 5x as many servers wiping them clean then I am all for it. My minor inconvenience is worth it if it means server hoppers are slowed and annoyed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
