varadus 3 Posted October 9, 2012 For a long time I was thinking about how to prevent the use of the good old combination alt+f4 (or just manual disconnecting). Sadly a lot of players are taking advantage of the possibility to just log out when they are in confrontation with another survivor. I think many players beside me are annoyed about these cheap sudden disappearances.But now an idea flashed into my mind, which should be helping to avoid such cases. I thought of a new logout system. The difference to the current system would be a time counter which appears as soon as the player wants to log out. The character would stand there (i thought about 10 seconds) until the time counter is finished. During this countdown, the player wouldn't be able to move nor to shoot. Also, if he gets injured, the countdown will be aborted (optional). If a player disconnects via alt+f4, the character would not disappear, so still be in the game, until the timer has counted down.Now, the only problem I noticed would be a connection loss. Then it would be rather annoying when you are in the middle of a city and your character just stands there for 10 seconds. I'm not sure about it, but I think they are able to differentiate between a connection loss and manual disconnection. Enlighten me please.PS: This suggestion may be more realizable in the standalone version.Now you talk :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jex =TE= (DayZ) 218 Posted October 9, 2012 I disagree. There's nothing wrong with discussing ideas or going over old ones again. Either somebody will come up with a new idea or the discussion will make someone thing of a new idea. Never ever stifle discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
y0ski 0 Posted October 9, 2012 This will be in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koze 113 Posted October 9, 2012 This is already in the game. When you leave there game your body stays there for a certain amount of time (30 seconds i think) In that time you cant be hit by zombies but you can be shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varadus 3 Posted October 10, 2012 This is new to me, since others have just disappeared in front of my eyes. If they could be shot for 30 seconds after they disconnect, there wouldn't be that many complaints about the abuse of alt+f4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
