I present to you...The perfect way to stop disconnecting!

[soapmak3r 677]

After having people disconnect, then reconnect during fire fights several times this evening, I came up with this.

Make it so that you cannot disconnect from a server unless you are in the relaxed, unarmed, cross legged, sitting position first.

That would prevent any and all disconnects during fights.

Go on, tell me I'm wrong. I dare ya!

Why wouldn't it work?

It takes a good five second to disarm and sit down... http://youtu.be/B8VdGwZTElE

More than enough to kill the coward that is disconnecting.

Disarming takes a crap ton of inventory space. As soon as a new player finds a rifle but no backback they can never log out?

I'm not sure what you mean. All I am suggesting is that everyone has to sit down into the relaxed position before they can log out. Not that they have to throw away weapons etc.

Sitting down does not cause you to put your weapon in your backpack. You just sit down and can't fire while seated.

It takes about 5 seconds or more to holster or shoulder your weapon and then sit. Then another few seconds to log out. More than enough of a delay.

This would effectively prevent anyone from auto-logging out as soon as someone farts in their direction.

You aren't actually disarmed. It's just that he rests his weapon on his legs or holsters a pistol before going into the sitting position.

If you played the game long enough you know it won't work this way. You can DC/quit anytime with alt-f4 or task manager if you really are that desperate to leave because the disconnect /abort function in not depending on the players stance/health/stamina/whatever to work. Ask BIS if they want to do this just for the mod and add tons of bugs for that feature.

In that case, if a player alt-f4s out of the game, when they log back in they will not be in the sitting position. They get a warning. If they do it more than 5 times within a short period of time, they lose all their items.

So the DC abuser darts behind a building or tree and does his 5 second disconnect.....what has this solved really? It would work in certain situations, but far from all of them. Any fix will have to be much more comprehensive than this to be effective on any noticable scale.

"[...]5times in a short period[...]"

so the DCs will not be stopped, they will be limited... and if someone dont "die" a lot, its not even limited ...

[gibonez 3633]

Will not stop disconnectors.

they will just alt f4.

Only server locations being tied to each server will stop it.

[notemedown 2]

Just make it where once someone leaves, their body stays for like 5-20 seconds.

So they must log out in a safe spot, or who knows what will happen to them before their body actually leaves.
