Re-Loggers

[SNPxASSASSIN 6]

So me and three of my friends just ran to balota, we were in the control tower and 2 guys with ak's (Obviously people who hop from server to server)were hiding under the stairs, we killed one and whilst we were looting one friend got shot, all of you are probably like "Dude shut the fuck up and stop complaining you died the end." However, his friend logged off moved position, killed me, logged off moved position, and killed my other friend. To me this is basically at the same level of hacking as your exploiting the game so I think a good thing to add in would be you may not join the same server again after you leave for 10 - 30 minutes to give ample time for looting.

The term is ghosting, the countdown timer is enough already I believe at this stage of development.

they Have 60 Seconds of Standing still Surprised you didn't Find them During

All in All though When a Connection Boots you Adding More time would Be annoying I Mean Alreay it is Pretty Frustrating Wait time
Spend Much Time Watching that timer due to resets and Connection Issues

For starters, just because people have good gear does not in fact mean they server hop. Me and my pals go across Chernarus in search of gear, and I've ended up with all military gear, a 75 round drum mag (Plus some extra standard mags), an AK, and spare ammo for it, and we don't ever server hop. Also, are you sure he ghosted, or do you just assume this because he got the jump on you? If it's just because he surprised you from behind, it's pretty easy to sneak around people and such, it doesn't mean they ghosted. It seems like too much a hassle and risk for them to switch servers just to kill you.

did you not get the memo, we're pretending all the bad exploitative stuff isn't happening?

That will always be a problem to some extent on all of the public servers that share character information.

 

Only solution is 1 character per server and or private hives .

 

The public character sharing just brings forth too many problems.

if that guy logged off (30-second wait), logged on another server (60-second wait plus all that extra 'please wait' time after that), moved (30 sec minimum), logged out (30 seconds), logged back in (60 secs plus the extra 'please wait' time), and found you still standing over dead guy lost in inventoryland...

 

what, were you alphabetizing the gear?  at an airfield?  give yourself a slap.

No no, you guys don't get the concept, i'm saying once you log off the SPECIFIC server as soon as you try to connect it would say something like "Confirmation of changes: you have 29min 50sec before you can rejoin this server", obviously if you need 30 minutes to loot then I don't know what your doing but you get the concept (You would be able to play other servers in the mean time just not that one SPECIFIC server). And no he didn't get the drop on me and my two friends. I'm going to say EXACTLY what happened so you guys know. My friend was at the bottom of the tower looting and suddenly a guy with an AK spawned right next to him under the stairs he miraculously took the guy out. We all took a deep breath and said good job man. I went back upstairs to loot a bit more after checking the enemy's body, we didn't loot it just yet. My friend was applying morphine as another guy with an AK spawned under the stairs and shot him dead. I ran to the very top of the tower and hid there waiting for him to come up the ladder. My other friend had just reached the tower and was waiting outside (The only other exit) and I suddenly saw the enemy outside, I shot him with my makarov and hit him atleast three times so I said "He's lit wait out there and see if he moves" I then heard someone moving up the ladder and by the time my friend could check he was already up. So we knew he was in the tower so after 5 minutes we heard his inaudible talking so I didn't respond. I then proceeded to clear the top floor while my friend cleared the bottom and we met in the middle. He wasn't there and obviously combat logged. So we proceeded to loot but my leg was broken because I climbed down the ladder so that's why it took so long for us by the way. So whilst I was waiting for my friend to make a splint I was looting a bit and I got shot in the back. My friend searched ALL of balota and around it and didn't see anyone. He went to go grab some essential stuff and not 30 seconds into looting a guy spawned under the stairs and sprayed him down. So now you all know exactly what happened and how this suggestion could really benefit DayZ and stop people "Ghosting".
