Not sure if there's a way to macro it; but if you log out to desktop/login, you can click on Self Destruct (and a number of other things) without interrupting the timer.

I'd suggest hitting it when the logout timer is at around 11 or 12.

You can activate any power or macro while logging out as long as you don't click them rapidly. You can can change targets, buff, debuff, self destruct, fire off attacks at enemies already in range, trigger macros, click on doors or other interactive objects and just about anything that involves clicking on something on the screen; anything except commands/macros that make the character move from where they're standing. You can, however, toggle off flight powers and drop out of the sky while the logout timer is counting down if you want. Just remember that clicking things rapidly will cancel the timer.

/macro BoomOut "quit$$powexecname Self Destruct"

That should work for "quit to desktop" logout, but of course the timers are different.

I can come up with a reason. This sort of activity reeks of griefing.

Other players before have used logging out + activating powers in order to grief various zones, such as dominators / controllers logging out or disconnecting while in Pocket D with their pets spawned, causing the pets to go active and attack opposing players.

Even if that's not your intent, there might be one or two applicable exploits to be found in combining certain power usages with logging out / disconnecting at the right time.

Speaking for myself, I am a bit puzzled as to why somebody would want to log out on a self-destruct and log back in to find themselves dead. If I wanted to do that, I'd go trigger the log out after jumping into Lusca's arms.

Theme/roleplay? And maybe because SD incurs zero debt, while Lusca does?

Timing the logout with the Pocket D teleporter is always fun.

(shrug) Probably because you're asking how to do something that can be annoying to other players. Setting it up as a macro suggests you plan to use it a lot. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to set up a macro to auto-fire my healing aura every time I go into Wentworth's......

Why he did? to voice his opinion. Why you responded like that? Not sure, keep it civil.

It IS kind of annoying when someone plants themselves next to an auctioneer, then explodes while logging out(I'd bugged it many times until I learned it was being done deliberately). The novelty wears outs quickly. It starts to remind me of a spastic child, who has had too much sugar, and vies for attention: "lookitmelookitmelookitme!"

no i just did not understand why he/she though it was a bad idea? to be blunt with all of you are really do not care if anyone else see me doing it, although i see your point it is more of a distraction to others such as yourself is that correct?

np i can do it on top of a building, inside a building, hmm maybe in the water no i dont want any green eggs and ham...........oh wait what where am i. oh right odd power use, since im a almost 5 year vet things can get a little old.

i look for ways to change the game for myself so when i saw that i though interesting idea.

Apologies, I misread the post as a snide response.

It only bothers me when it's done in what appears to me a "lookitme" thing (like at the market), or worse, as a griefing tool.

Simply, yes.

It's automated annoyance. I'd rather that people griefing would have to expend at least a little effort.

Then you would be the first person out of 23 499 people who didn't want to essentially proclaim lookatmelookatmelookatmeIiswonderful. Apologies if I lumped you in with the other 23 498 people who do exactly as you describe.

As an aside, and with no malice, but lol you throwing down your badge e-peen. LOL, I say. Had you the experience you attest to, I should have thought you'd know the answer to not only your original query, but also to why I would beg that you not engage in activity that would have been prevelent even 4 of your vet badges ago.

No problem with that. But please, next time, think of the children.

I'm pretty sure that your character remains, for all intents and purposes, online for a few seconds after you log off, so it probably doesn't matter when you hit it, really.
