Feature request: possibility to set a logout delay for PvP mode


Recommended Posts

Hello, developers.

 

I ask you as a member of a small community of pvp-lovers. We have a wish to set a delay for logout event.

 

The problem is it couldn't be written with Lua: it's just a part of the game engine. And it causes real troubles for players who are supposed to fight: when one player feels the situation is bad for him, he immediatly logouts and save his skin this way.

 

This means that it's not possible to kill an experienced player. Sometimes it happens of course: blow darths and instant attacks may give you an opportunity to kill someone, but we do have a more specific suggestion for you: if a player quits he should stay for a while at the place he was standing and get some hits. So: we wanna player to be "AFK" for some predefined time.

 

Please answer us whether it's possible? Could we hope it would be so in the future?

It's certainly possible. EVE Online has a similar 'aggro' system. If you have aggro on you for any reason, and you log out, your ship will remain 'in play' for the duration of the aggro (usually 2-3 mins).

I suppose that this message hasn't been read by developers. Could someone say where I should post it to get some official answer?

Hey there @freehck, @xexanoth, welcome to the forums you two! :D

As for your question, Freehck, I think this thread belongs in the general discussion forums of DST, right here: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/forum/66-dont-starve-together-beta-general-discussion/

Server bulletin is usually used to advertise servers and search for other players to play DST with :p

I'll ask for a mod to move this thread there for you :)
