WoW style loggout?

[RedFiction12 6]

Is it plausible to actually to make it? Its would be really good against pve/pvp situations.

I mentioned this to a pal the other night. But even a 3-5 second logout timer would make all the difference!

Rocket has said that he will "easily" fix people who log-out to avoid getting killed, but there's no word on when it will be implemented, or what said fix will be.

Ive been begging for something like this, too many epic firefights have ended with my target bitching out. And you think the anti-disconnect symbol once shot would deter people from doing just that. But nope, they just get a friend to bandage them up if they go unconscious after DCING

Keep in mind that a logout timer only works in these kind of games for 2 reasons:

1: They only appear when you don't alt F4.

2: Your character stays cause they made the engine to do so.

As a mod this is difficult to add, it will certainly be added the moment the ability to do so exists.

Yeah, had one moment. It was f*cking annoying afterwards. Me and my buddy adventures in forest and we wanted to cross open field front of us. We were middle of it and suddenly some jerk starts shooting us 11 rounds. (Plausible En-field). We run like buggy zombies and made finally cross the field. We go behind trees and start looking for that shooter. I have (at the moment) SVD Camo and my buddy has SAW. We see this guy lurking like a creeper behind bush and tree.

I start zooming in and i shoot one time (i miss). Gives this HUGE sound and then my buddy said that he disconnected probably. (We checked it afterwards and yes..he disconnected).

Like He shoots us 11 time. We don't take any hits nevertheless. We start looking for him and i shoot 1 time and miss then he disconnects and probably changes server. :huh:

Yeah, this suggestion would prevent a lot of combat-logging, and at the very least, combat-loggers/server hoppers would be inconvenienced in how easy it is to do so.

Certainly much better than the "LETS JUST PENALIZE ANYONE LOGGING OUT CUZ OMGOMGOMG ITS NOT FAAAYYYUURRRRR" suggestions we've seen here repeatedly.

They have already announced that they will be implementing a system to prevent people from being able to simply just press "Abort" when being attacked by Zeds or other players. :D

It's worth noting that even if you Alt-F4 (or even d/c) in an MMO, your character stays there, motionless, for the duration of the log-out timer. So the first point is kinda trumped; people could still Alt-F4, but if a log-out timer was implemented, they'd still be there in-game for the other guy to gun them down.

Second point kinda gets into territory that I'm less familiar with, since I know very little about coding, so I would have to take your word on it relying on the engine allowing that functionality. All I know is that Rocket has said that he can easily fix people logging-out to avoid PvP deaths; what said fix involves, I honestly don't know.

if you disable saving coordinates in global hive, but locally on a server, this would prevent server hopping for loot / kill advantage and DC to join other server, because you would spawn somewhere far away there. When you join back on original server, be ready for a company and/or barbwire built around you, cuz you earned it, chicken!

An interesting idea. I guess I don't know if Rocket intends for us to establish a single "home server" that we always use or not. Having to restart on the beach, even when I'm starting-up on the next day might be a big deterrent for playing on a different server if my home server is full, so I don't know if Rocket wants me to feel punished for using a different server despite not server hopping to farm/avoid PvP.

Just make it where if u are in combat and log off, then you can't relog onto that same server for 5 min or 10. Combat including firing your weapon or taking a hit.

This would be enough to curb server hopping in order to relocate and reambush people while not affect people who just check a server for day/nite time, lagginess, or to change servers to catch a friend on.... etc. And it would not penalize people who just want to survive and not endure endless deaths and restarts. I think is hard enough to survive already. Starting over with nothing is gettn old already.

I remember rocket saying that it was gonna be fixed when the next arma2 patch comes out. (not a beta patch)

[RedFiction12 6]

Making some kind of vid at start and when player disconnects. Almost like in Arma 2 playmode "Dominion"
