Respawn button confirmation

Recommended Posts

I was about to change some settings, but accidentaly moved the mouse a bit and hit Respawn instead. *Poof* character gone. This is VERY annoying!

I think it should pop up a confirmation dialog "Are you sure you want to respawn? You will die and lose all your stuff."

How threads like this come into existence

1. Someone accidentally suicides.

2. Immediately goes to forums and suggests this.

This is the thousandth time this has been suggested, just hit the little "load more" button and u will see one. Also, they can't fix it, it's an ARMA thing

If you accidentally click the respawn button, you might also accidentally click the confirm botton. No need to create a confirm button, since this will only happen once. If it happens twice, you're simply not playing attention and deserve it.

My hope is that most of the people who accidentally click respawn are doing it in a rush trying to disconnect from combat.

You are obviously wrong, since they now disabled the respawn button.

What you hope for is probably not what happens in reality, since:

1 - the Abort button is at the bottom, and if you click just above it you'll hit the settings button instead (not the Respawn).

2 - Combat loggers use ALT-F4 because it is much easier.

Not sure why you think i would accidentally hit the confirm button. If i click and miss the Settings button for some reason (shaking from not sleeping for 40 hours, being pushed, having the cat jump on me, whatever) and a "Confirm respawn" dialog pops up, i would of course not click on "Yes, please kill me" - i would escape back and click "Settings" properly. The chance that the cat would jump on me *again* when i'm alerted to it's presence, making me click "Yes, please kill me" is practically zero.

Oh btw, your statement "since this will only happen once" is of course completely valid. And that's why M$ should remove the popup "Do you really want to delete XYZ.doc" when you hit the delete button... and the trash can should be scrapped as well.
