Make options to have servers that you can not server hop on
New, WishlistPublic

Description

I have just bought the Alpha version on steam and have been getting used to the game. This last round, I spent a lot of time getting great gear, then I was killed by somebody that was server hopping. I shot at the guy and he logged off. He then went to another server, flanked my position, and then went back on my server.

This to me is game breaking and makes players not want to play dayz. This issue needs to be fixed, otherwise this is not a survival game, but a "who can abuse the mechanics the most" game.

Please let me know how this will be resolved, and I will look forward to playing this game with my friends.

Steps To Reproduce

This is how server hopping works.

  1. See a player you want to kill and note where he is
  2. Switch to a server with a low player count and go to where you saw that player
  3. Kill the guy and ruin his game and DayZ in general by being a terrible person

there are measures in place to prevent server hopping and ghosting.

privates hives - loot doesn't transfer

logout timer - can't combat log

extended login timer when oining server you just left - ghosting is harder
