easy way to heavily reduce combat disconnects

[FrankDaTank1218 (DayZ) 41]

If you log out, your character stays in the server, idle and out of your control, for 30 seconds, this means you are a sitting duck for any zeds chasing you or players fighting you at the time of disconnect, and if you are killed in that time period, your body stays for a few minutes of time so any players can loot items from you.

This would mean not only would combat d/c-ing be a bad idea, it would also make players more cautious and only log out in safe areas.

Rocket is already talking about inputting something of this sort into the game soon, maybe even next patch.

This.

Please read a bit. Rocket is not an idiot; if you have a simple idea, likely he has had it too. If it has not been implemented, likely there is a reason. This does not mean you should never post a simple suggestion, it just means you should see what Rocket's been up to before you repost something that has already been posted tons already.

i dont know if its a good idea..

for example, my ping went high sometime, and it kicked me off the server. in that case i would have been most likley dead.

Well you certainly helped, thanks for your condescending and sarcastic forum post, what a contribution!

When people don't use the search function to see whether the topic has already been covered, they basically spam the suggestions forum potentially drowning out actual new and original suggestions. Not exactly helping either, you think?

Yes, but what I did was an innocent mistake, you were just being a dick.
