How to stop Ghosting.

[koze 113]

Its really simple. If you leave your server and join another one, you cannot join the first server for 5 minutes.

You may join another server ofcouse, but you still have to wait 5 mins before joining your previous again.

Ofcourse you can leave your server, and rejoin it again without having to wait 5 minutes at all.

In case you didnt know, ghosting is when you spot someone or someone spots you, and you leave the server. Then you join another server and run to their location or a vantage point. Once you've reached the location you leave the server and join the first one again and kill them.

noo that's called ghosting, teleporting is what those script chodes use to teleport to players and kill them or tents/cars whatever.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll change the topic name. :beans:

Nice idea. Think that would work pretty well.

At least for the players that do not sit in the same spot for more then five minutes ;). For the others, welp, better luck next time.

i completly agree with this great idea :)

I like this.

Yeah, I'd put a longer timer though just because even with five minutes, you can still get someone who is trying to make sure you were the only one in the area.

Someone mentioned this idea before and put a time limit of an hour. I'd be fine with that. When I leave a server, I normally have no desire to go back into it.

I give this idea 100% support

I'd say ramp up the cooldown to 30 minutes or an hour, that way the person who stayed on the server has time to check for others people in the vicinity (Which, depending on your location can take a really long time) maybe loot the tents/building/town that the ghoster may have abandoned, and make a run for it before the person trying to cheat ever has a chance to return.

Either way, great idea, beans given.

People actually do crap like that? Wow.

perhaps one should not be able to join a server if one will be spawning within 200 meters of another player.

Rocket have said in the interview that this will(maybe)be implemented to standalone.

with this the 30second logout timer would make game much better when reducing serverhopping, altf4, ghosting..

I know what you're getting to but then playing with friends or clans would be impossible.

i have a more simple idea - remove hive.

It would be more of a challenge to survive if each session you had to start again. It could be more fun that way if the world was REALLY hard to survive in, and surviving for a long time was ridiculously hard.

5 min isnt enough. if a guy ghost just want to kill snipers, 5 min are too less coz snipers stay there all day long. my suggestion? 1 year

i didnt mean to remove save of progression, but progression simply stored on the server you play.

"You're ghosting us, motherfu$ker. I don't care who you are back in the world. You give away our position one more time, I'm gonna bleed you...real quiet...and leave you here. Got that?"

Appropriate chat rank and pic to go with it.

I like the idea straight away! 30 sec log out timer (which you could cancel instantly if needed and come back to game) with 30 min server comeback timer would do miracles to pvp. Picture the idea that you would have to finish your battle or find good enough cover to wait the 30 sec log out.

I personally like to play the game kinda hard style meaning that I only log out when I'm safely in some spot with not a worry in a world! Never QQ'd from a pvp or zombie situation and always ended ether surviving another day or the other...
