Combat Logging . . .

[foamninja 77]

Can this be addressed ASAP? Not is the combat logging annoying but the players body disappearing after they get killed and rage quit. This is the 9th time today I've killed someone just for them to hit "exit" and leave no trace that they were even in the server. I just climbed to the top of a new apartment building and killed a sniper that was fully geared, just to see his body disappear.

I think it's also a bug, it's hard to tell at the moment, but I'm sure it's on their to-do list. No one likes it, not even combat loggers.

This is what rocket says about combat logging

* Combat logging protection not working

Currently many of our features such as queued loading, combat logging timeout, etc... have been disabled as there is the possibility that they will cause additional strain on the central server. Once we know that we can handle the load we will begin implementing these. We do expect this will be a long process, and we'll be working with the community to identify effective ways to deal with this. In the meantime, it is going to be 

 

I hate combat loggers as much as anyone, but i'm prepared to wait. getting server performance sorted is far more important.

Body disappearing doesn't happend from combati logging, it will happend even if you die and just exit in 5 secs..

It's not even a conversation worth having. rocket has acknowledged it's an issue and has even implemented a fix. It's just not deployed yet. He will deploy it when it's ready to be deployed.

 

Yes, it's annoying when people combat log but who gives a shit? Making sure you get all your kills nice and tidy is not important right now. If someone combat logs on you, just move on and do something else.

It's server hopping thats the real annoyance. You enter a building where noone is. You cleared it and all the doors are closed. Then, behind you, someone shoots and kills you. Someone just spawned in out of nowhere. It drives me crazy. When someone comes into a server they should have to wait 30 seconds to move. 

 

Is that what rocket means by queued loading? Waiting when entering a server?
