another way to prevent Alt+F4

[trigger10 2]

The basic idea of fixing the Alt+F4 problem is, that you will only able to log of instant as it is

currently, if you are in a forrest near a tree.

so how should the game now where you are? well this problem is allready solved.

if you are able to to cut down timber, you can log out instanty.

if youre not, your character remains a certain time in the world being vulnerable, lets say one minute.

if you are logging of in a building this logoff penalty getting higher lets say 2 min.

if youre in a military facilitie its 3 min.

you can't login your char on another server in this penalty time.

if you try to log on a another server you ether get back to the server you logged out, or gettin a

error massage "you cant login at the moment."

- this idea keeps player away from altF4 to avoid death, at least the most time.

- it is a little attempt to make serverhopping harder.

- you are still able to find a decent server, if you are logging out in a forrest.

- Alt+F4 flaking getting harder (in open fields and towns)

thats about it, btw i'm german so i hope the spelling its not too bad :)

Delays in alt-F4'ing have been suggested in hundreds of threads already. Use the search -function.

Rocket has said that he has something in plans already.

I suggested something similar with needing to use a tent/sleeping bag to log out, and having one in your inventory as a tool. You then can only log out in the woods and it takes you a few seconds to set up the tent etc in which time someone who had been tracking you would have time to take you out. If you don't do this and just disconnect when you log in you could be suffering from exposure and maybe had some of your items taken, have sickness, half blood, unconscious etc.

Alt F4 won't be solved by the Day Z team though it needs to be changed by bohemia, I'm not sure we'll ever get rid of the alt-F4 people but if there are repercussions for doing it then that would be fine.

IMO this is better than just having a logout timer as it fits more with the image of the game and would actually make you think properly about logging out rather than it just being a reaction to something bad happening to you.

Yea, Could just have a simple code which disables the Alt F4 instead of a very long idea, good thought into it though

:D

Not sure if it is possible in day z but they could use an aggression timer like in EVE online. If you attack or are attacked by another, you have an aggression timer (e.g. 5 minutes) and if you log within that time, you remain on the server and can be killed up until your timer ends.
