Sick of players DCing and not getting the kill?

[Inception. 9443]

[if you already know this, don't say that you did. Just leave.]

Greetings fellow bandits,

Ever stalked your victims for hours and then once you confront them, they alt+F4/DC? Yes, I know you have. Well, there's a solution to this [somewhat]:

Put enough bullets into them to make them bleed and go into shock. Therefore, if they DC, once they come back onto whatever server, they shall spawn in unconscious and bleeding. If their blood is low enough when they spawn back in, they'll bleed out, because the unconscious timer is quite long.

Just thought I'd share this with those who are unaware of it.

Keep hunting.

Yeah, but they will probably go to a different server and you won't get any loot.

Most likely, but I have a lot of high-value gear thus I need not loot theirs. So all I want to know is that they will die.

Then what is the point in killing them?

That's what I do on my bandit account. If I can't get their gear then I want them to die. Obviously I put in as many shots as possible before they DC. Either way, they die.

Why rdm? I dont see why there's a point in killing people if you're not gonna loot them. And if they don't even see you I don't see the point at all. I don't think the idea with Day Z was deathmatch.

[PERFECTION 5]

The more northwest you go in the game the more eager people are to hit ALT+F4.

I take no pleasure in killing zombies, only players. and if i have good gear i dont even go to check his body for loot. only shot for the thrill and kill ;)

mostly the same for me shooting ppl for my fun and also showing them that it can be dangerous if you run in an open field (AS50 FTW)

but if i play in a group we got a "lemming" who loot the bodies

Not really. Because then all they have to do is hop on teamspeak, and have a buddy ready to meet them where they went down. Quick bandage and a blood transfusion, and he's on his feet and moving out. This happens all the time. If they disconnect before they're dead, they can still survive easily as long as his buddy is quick. The real solution to the ALT F4 problem is called a .50 cal.

This. A couple weeks ago, two of us chased and ambushed an offroad with 6-7 people on it. When it was over, there were 3 corpses and nobody in sight, even tho we had hit most of them. Then they uploaded a

. The guys that were hit crawled behind the car and logged off, then waited to log on until their buddies arrived with medical supplies.

solution: KILL EVERYONE!

[red_orchestra@msn.com 112]

They just run off to an unpopulated server, either get a friend to revive them or they just bleed out and then run back to their own corpse which is pretty straightforward if they picked a quiet server. Either way it's a lose. Best you can do is try to get one shot kills with m107/as50 or headshots, but even then I'm pretty sure if they quickly altf4 their corpse still disappears.

Shit. I completely forgot about that. But yeah, I always have an AS50 with me.

I never said it was, but I kill people that are a threat regardless if they have good loot. I have very high-value equipment on most of the time [my whole group does] and we DO NOT want people to run around behind us and kill us. That's why I kill any possible threats.

[rikta 12]

yeah it needs to be scripted into the game so that when someone is shot by someone else they cannot logout for at least 30 seconds, that way they can still be safe if their game crashes or they are legitimately logging out there, i think the fucked part is them logging once they have been actively engaged.

[rikta 12]

double posted someone remove this one please

[kareesmoon 2]

Do what MMO's do, have a logout timer. 30 seconds for character to leave. If they get shot, the timer resets.

[Adron 42]

I just watch the logs and ban them :)

If your target has enough time to D/C or ALT+F4 then that only means 3 things

1. You were not fast enough
   
2. You were not stealth enough
   
3. You did not place well aimed shots

be fucked i have shot someone in the head from less than 200 meters with the m107 and they still had time to alt+f4 and make me loose the body then there was no loot......

This is confirmed. Alt + F4 anytime before the game over screen solidifies and your corpse will just sink into the ground.

dont let players log out if they are bleeding, if they alt+f4 while bleeding keep the player in game until the bleeding stops, either bandaged or dead. if they try to server hop while bleeding stick them on 'waiting for character to create' until the previous one is dead and the new character can be loaded.

people will still be able to disconnect normally, even dc if they hear u coming, or see you (if they spot/hear you before you can hit them once then you shouldnt be in the bandit forum section.)

def some bs, iv been killed a couple of times from people d/c'ing and reconnecting, one time i was in the firehouse 1st floor by the stairs and was getting chased by a guy and he didnt come in the building, well minutes later he logged on right behind me, he would have killed me if he didn't push my guy forward a little bit LOL, merked out him then his buddy, his buddy tried it, back to back combat logging, Even people when you shoot them and right before it says there dead they hit d/c. Best thing about this if you can figure out were they are gonna spawn again near you, you can get the satisfaction of a revenge kill so they spawn dead ;)
