Alt-F4, Yes\No

[Thehairyosama 0]

As we all know Alt-F4 is good and bad. I do think that it should be disabled so people cant Alt-F4 as soon as you get into a fire-fight but if you come across a hacker no Alt-F4 your screwed. You can loose all your stuff in a second. That Ghillie camo or that kobra sight ak74u ect.. Hours even days of play time all gone cause of some scum bag hacker, Do you think Alt-F4 is good?

[federik21 42]

no

[Priceless 154]

F-no

[Malef 1]

I think it should be as follow:

Effin No for alt-F4

Effin No for hackers, report the hacker

[xTLRxPrototype (DayZ) 15]

no

Ok im gonna edit this... in situations where a hacker is about to destroy you, i would use alt f4 to switch servers, when im being shot at? no

No. This is a video game for one, and this is Day Z. You will lose your gear, do not get attached. Not to mention this is an ALPHA test.

Alt-F4ing is somewhat problematic, and they are addressing it in the upcoming .4 patch on wednesday. How they are addressing it is still unknown as they have not said,or I have not seen them say, whether or not you will be banned for Alt-F4ing, as the patch just implements a log system for when you connect and disconnect from a server. I am assuming that you wouldn't be banned for escaping a hacker by Alt-F4ing as there will be logs of this occuring on the Hive and on the server you are playing on. So if you do get banned, you can just request to be unbanned and ask for a log comparison, as well as you can just report the hacker if you know who it is.

Don't really care about hackers, but if someone thinks they can alt-f4 server hop me and come back. Woe betide.

You can just abort, you dont need to use alt f4.

Again today, i get shot the hell up by a sniper in Elektro 2 times, i manage to find his position and sneak upto him, i spend 15 minutes sneaking upto him since he is aware of his surroundings, all i have is an axe.

At one point i see him grab his binoculars and realize he's going to need some time to get back to his weapon from there, i was at about 30m so i make a run for it, he tries to turns around but doesnt manage, i hit him once, twice, keep hitting him but nothing is happening. untill ofcourse i read the losing connection message.

Yes thats you [sK} Andrew, dirty ape.

Alt + F4 has been used by my group when we have had tight security on a situation only to have butt hurt individuals log in and come out of cleared areas and buildings or areas that have been watched. Butt hurt people being those who have been iced or who's location is currently being dominated by my rather large pack of survivors/bandits or just those who cannot tactically make it into the AO we are standing ground on by any other method than . . using another server to move into a position to gain position and open fire either solo or with a new group.

Another example would be if you've found some of the bad guys who have fired on your group and can cycle through a flank. They're playing -sort- of fair in staying in, yet they're obviously in team speak as when you finally are moving in on them..you notice their numbers are + 2 or more than their original gathering or your group on over watch get to witness the emergence of enemies on roof tops (popping in from lobby ) and suddenly through the system of click to combat, the enemy has an advantage that can cause losses to your group.

Alt + F4 in situations like this kind of keep things a tad bit on the fair side if you think of it.

I was watching over an area - daylight / group was 8 men deep and in constant combat, a guy dropped in with a Lee and was standing over a spotter we were all in contact with and before I could place the two rounds I know are going to kill the living, he'd already fired the one to the head. The guy with the Lee was not sneaking and had been wasted after being spotted hunting one of our gatherers in the town we were frequenting for medical supplies. This butt hurt individuals group of five were suddenly spawning in our secure staging area with AKMs and the like, I got 1 bandit kill from one of these pussies and it was decided to Alt+F4 out due to the nature of the combat was becoming dicey as the info on the invading group of douche bag revenge agents locations as opposed to our own friendlies was now hard to keep track of and friendly fire was a definite possibility we were not going to tolerate.

In all, due to log in turd chomping server swapping losers we've had quite a few losses when alt+f4 could have and has saved the day.

Alt + F4 is ok . I don't mind when I shoot a person up, watch them drop, know they're just KO'd due to blood loss and are on their way to death when they DC. They're the one making the choice to survive through server sliding, not me.

So Alt+F4 abilities, absolutely remain part of the game please.
