does alt f4 save your life?

[FlatulentRemedies 13]

so i was wondering, does using alt f4 even save your life because if someone shots you and your unconsious bleeding and you alt f4 won't you just spawn on a different server unconsious and bleeding?

If so whats the point?

[capitainedesolation@yahoo.fr 119]

Don't even think about it.

[FlatulentRemedies 13]

Theres enough cheaters doing this already so don't even think about it. Combat DCing will get you banned from all dayz servers its exploting the game and a bannable offence.

[FlatulentRemedies 13]

look guys I just want a simple yes or no to this question I just wanna know if these people i'm shooting are actually dieing!

[Delta Smoke 01 765]

They do it for the simple fact of knowing you cant take their gear after you kill them. Its what plagues this game at the moment sadly :(

Just look at your murders or bandit kills if it goes up he's dead if not he got away.

[FlatulentRemedies 13]

but does he live when he gets away?

[DaveAzoicer (DayZ) 135]

He spawns unconscious and bleeding.

I know combat DC's are gay, but that's no reason to start talking bullshit.

On Topic: You don't get a murder if he gets away and bleeds to death on another server. If he lives or not depends on the fact he's bleeding, wether he has bandages and if he's at all unconscious.

depend on how much you hit him, even if he die, you won't be able to loot anything, cuze his body will be gone when alt+f4.

Don't even think about doing this, bannable and hated by everybody.

[doom4mr 135]

what if the player DC when I kill him is it possible that he was unsaved so when he logout quick its may not save his death?

even if I got murder count +1?

If you have the +1 the hive knows you have it and the hive should know the dude you shot is most definately dead.

It's not all bullshit and come to our server and do it and you will be banned and your guid given to the community so they can ban you too!. Seriously you sound like your trying to defend these scumbags.

bullshit alright.

[Jack Dant 158]

Yes, it saves your life, but it kills your soul. People who are alive without souls are just zombies. And you know what we do to zombies around here, do you?

Doesn't say anywhere to that you are allowed to ban the people and share their guid amongst the community, it does however say he will be fixing this exploit.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3061-kicking-of-players-for-clan-members/

In short, their are only two reasons why you, as a server owner, should ban a player on your server. Those two reasons are: Malicious talk, and racism. You may not ban a user for stealing your loot, killing you, spying on you, etc.

"from the man himself"

bullshit alright.

[libertine (DayZ) 2]

And you know what we do to zombies around here, do you?

headshot ... but I dont really see the difference to what people do to players(say, sniped withing 30sec. of spawning a new toon).

come to think of it ... sometimes youd probably be better off as a a Zed...Zeds dont get picked on by snpiers...

How long after when you killed someone can they DC and their body disappear, the other week I hit someone with my enfield in their legs whilst they were running through a field, they went to the floor... I hit them again and killed them but their body disappeared almost immediately after the murder was registered.

Right now unfortunately even if people DC at the moment of death their body vanishes in a fast manner. They will still be dead, but no one (not even them if they go to a different server) will be able to loot the body. I think!

If so whats the point?

-Sometimes the servers do not save properly and you'll find yourself maybe seconds before you died when logging into another server, just like inventory not saving when you log on another server.

-Call friend, friend bandages / blood bags / epi pens you -- Victory.

-Otherwise, you die.. But you die on a server where you shouldn't have and run back to loot your body.

-Worst case scenario, you die but the guy killing you doesn't get your loot.

None of this should be allowed. Alt+F4 breaks the game, it takes away a lot of fear which is what this game should be giving people. It's removing their risk in a game all about "risk / reward" balance. There's very few consequences to your actions. Zombies can no longer kill you, only 50 cal bandits or anyone headshotting you -- But you can still deny them your loot.

It's a shame too, do you know how heart pumping a pvp / pve situation can be in a perma death game? Proper fire fights where you have to kill or run away, use tactics, be brave, freak out etc.

None of that happens for most people... someone's there, shoot, i missed LOG OUT. Oh no I agrod a zombie in town do I shoot? no log out.

Simple fix for this problem:

Pressing F4 kills you instantly!

Hooray!

[xX_fr0st-w0lf_Xx (DayZ) 343]

easiest fix is that you stay ingame 60 seconds after you log out. This way you cant log out in a firefight and be safe, nope you logout in a firefight and its gg because the other guy has a whole minute to make you his personal bitch

It's not easy, or it would have been done already. It's not something the Arma engine supports, and there's only so much a mod can do.

At this point, I'm willing to take instadeath for anyone logging off with shock. It would be harsh on people who genuinely lose connection mid-fight, but at least it should be easier to implement.
