Agrocr0c 23 Posted August 10, 2012 Alt-F4If you exploit by using alt-F4 to disengage during a dangerous situation it means just one thing: you are NOT prepared for the situation and cannot handle it; that is why you leave. The adrenaline gets too much and you 'flight' instead of 'fight'. The consequences are that you deny yourself any self-respect, and you dishonour the opposing player brave enough to stay logged in during the same dangerous situation.In a game like DayZ which is designed to be punishing and scary, and empowers players to kill each other in a shot or two, would you not feel like a (gaming) failure if you ran away from a dangerous situation - even a certain death 'cornered' situation - just because you got scared? Soon, you will be paying for this service in Standalone DayZ; being made to feel scared; being taken by surprise by individuals and gangs of players; being hammered by more polished Zeds; competing for items and spawns against other players or face in-game death. If you are paying for these sensations and emotions why leave the server when things get thrilling?HackersInvariably a hacker fits the bill. There are two types:Firstly, there is the hacker that has been beaten in the game by those with more luck/talent/courage/firends/DMR rounds and, as above, has been unable to engage the game properly as intended because of either an attention deficit, low gaming skill, or lack of friends to group with for support. So, like some American highschool psycho gun-nut that was bullied and wants to strike back in a fit of bitterness and pseudo Power, he breaks all convention, rules, morality, and social standing for a moment of revenge which leaves everyone feeling hollow.Secondly, there is the bored hacker. This hacker becomes envious of other players' good fortune infinding gear or vehicles, or becomes dismayed by bugs or bad luck or deaths to hackers of the first type. Either way, they will have a hilarious time 'dicking around' with 'stuff' at everyone's expense with no real purpose. Boredom sets in then 'The Devil Makes Work For Idle Thumbs'. These people are all united under one sigil: <==3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrej Dudev 50 Posted August 10, 2012 If a cheater/hacker ruins my gameplay with scripts I alt+f4.If the game is supposed to act in a particular way but instead glitch/bug out doing weird things/infinite zombie spawns I alt+f4.In every other situation I refuse to exit the game because it's fun to being able to exit a dangerous situation with your own legs/hands/brain.

MitchRan91 25 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) To be fair, I have read posts about this before. I will admit I have alt-f4'd before to get out of a shitty situation, I just to try and justify it to myself, I didn't want to loose my gear I was too attached, but at the same time I would be annoyed if someone did it to me...Now after a while I've realised I can re-gear quite quickly and that you're completely right, we are playing for that thrill.. I always said after I alt-f4'd that aww I wish I could have got the drop on him or whatever.This has made me think about the next time I get engaged by a player. You sir have my beans! :beans: Edited August 10, 2012 by MitchRan91 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZlobaRUS54 441 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Good post, to alt-f4's just be a man and accept it's your time to die and go down with HONOR. Everyone gets the cowardly urge to relog, only real men accept their defeat. Edited August 10, 2012 by ZlobaRUS54 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But clearly 9001 is an exaggeration, if you haven't seen several hundred posts about the same thing your talking about then you may need to see a physician and get some eye glasses.

Why don't you bow out gracefully and leave this thread if it bores you. If you stay and continue to reply then you would be contradicting yourself, wouldn't you.I'll tell you what you and your type wants to hear: you're right, I'm wrong. This issue has been discussed so much that it isn't an issue any more and I'm an idiot to observe it and comment on it despite my experience. OK, so goodbye Hendrix (the less cool of the two).
