Albatros (DayZ) 40 Posted July 14, 2012 So, I'm on a random low pop US server trying to get an ALICE pack, since it's almost impossible in ANZ 1 full 50/50 in the day without a gun. I head to Stary Sobor, grab my shit and get out. On the way back to my super secret camp full of vehicles and tents and other goodies, I decide to stop by the barracks. I get there, oh fuck there's a chemlight ~ serverhopper.I look at it, for about a minute, it's not moving. I walk slowly up to the window but can't see shit, crank up the gamma and the windows become a gray smear.Since I can't hear anything inside and the light's not moving and it's in the back room, I come to the conclusion someone was using a chemstick, raided the barracks, went back to the back room and disconnected leaving the chemstick, since they last 60 minutes.I head inside, looting everything room-by-room, and walk into the last room, and OH SHIT BALLS, there's a guy there looting, facing my direction. I spray him down with the M14 AIM, get the murder kill and his body sinks into the ground. The little disconnecting, server hopping faggot.He did leave around 15 STANAG mags on the ground and a fuckload of flares. I have no idea what he was doing, he was there for atleast 5 minutes while I was also, walking around the barracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeromentor 169 Posted July 14, 2012 Obviously collecting ammo for his team on nighttime servers.Anyhow, I think every person that takes a hit ~20 seconds before disconnecting should insta-die. Add a warning to the ABORT button, so people don't acidently kill themselves.This way, legit players can log out without issue, or wait a small period of time, and fools disconnecting to avoid death will die upon loading up in the next server.Also, anyone that stays to get shot to death gets respect from me. Had a group of 3 disconnect the other day, after they killed a friend of mine twice. Unarmed player, cool they'll stay and kill him. Armed player? ALT+F4!!!! Hit 2 of them before they disconnected. The amount of damage I pumped into one means he won't survive an attempt to bandage him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SillySil 295 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Server hopping and combat logging is the cancer of this game.One time I was in the southern barracks on the airfield during night ( I had NVGs), I checked them, walked just outside and started reading my map. Before going somewhere else I take a glimpse inside and there is a guy inside checking the rooms even tho I'm standing in the door. Good thing he didn't have an NVG and I wasn't moving or I'd be dead. Thanks for all the stanag mags btw.There should be at least a small timer to log out. Like 10 seconds or so. At least those who disconnect while getting shot at would die. Edited July 14, 2012 by SillySil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least those who disconnect while getting shot at would die.>be in a forest about to log out>suddenly a random sniper sees me>I log out completely unaware and go to bed>he shoots me in the face and loots my shit>I log on the next day deadNope. That's not the fix.How about, If player logs out within 30s of taking damage; players body remains in server for 1 minute able to be killed and looted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just died because you didn't see the guy not because you were logging out. What are you talking about?And your solution doesn't cut it. What about people disconnecting after killing someone from your group, seeing you, or getting shot at without getting damaged?

con7act 29 Posted July 14, 2012 How about, if you logout/disconnect/timeout while you bleed or are in shock, the charakter will stay as long those effects are activ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
