Don't punish us for logging in and out in a buggy game that's still in alpha!!

[remorsless 2]

Aside from it being a pretty bad soution that is inevitably going to ruin innocent peoples fun no matter how you try to manage it, makiing us fall unconscious for 5 mins when we log back in because we have had to disconenct because we've lost debug monitor or our weapon won't shoot or some other bug related reason at this stage in the games development is counter productive to developing the mod and is frustrating in the extreme!! You'd be better off accepting that for the moment some people are going to server hop in this early stage of development and focus on fixing bugs a getting a better solution to the problem of server hopping down the line when the game takes shape and you know more about what options are available.

I logged in this morning after not playing for about 8 hours on to the same server I'd been playing the night before for about 6 hours and I was made unconscious... why? Then I had to disconnect to go to the bathroom and guess what happened when I came back in? not only is this solution lazy, it doesn't work.

I get the game is in alpha, that's totally cool there are suppossed to be bugs. But how about focusing on making it fun before punishing your players indiscriminately?

I love the game even with it's many frustrations but adding to them unnessisarily like this is the sort of thing that's gonna make people /ragequit

(this has probably been brought up before but if you didn't notice it's a rage post so I didn't bother checking. feel free to mention it or rage about it as I'll most likely never actually look at the comments on this post anyway. Just wanted to add my 2 cents)

I have to log out occasionally when my crappy computer starts bogging down but I'd rather there be some penalty than let the loggers wuss out of combat, especially if they've taken the first shot.

I had to log out when I passed out driving a vehicle (low blood). The game kicked me out of the vehicle and then I collapsed and couldn't get up until I d/c and r/c.

I finally gave up and re-spawned and hiked the 13,000m back to my body and loot.

I had to log out because it was almost time to go to work. I know DayZ is my alternate life but I can't leave it running all the time.

The only time I've disconnected was when a hacker teleported to me and started shooting like crazy. I hope by the time this game is in beta, the majority of these cheaters will be playing something else...

You (should) only get an hourglass if you log out when the shock indicator is showing. It's the one that looks a bit like a disconnect icon.

Stupid things can cause shock. The other day I got hit by an opening door and logged off to follow friends. Hourglass tiem.
