zainredding2013 0 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Forgive me if this has been covered but I am fairly new to the forums and didn't see it covered. I run with a group of 4 or 5 most of the time and something we have run into of the last couple nights I wanted to point out. 1) When you get killed and hit the respawn button. It does not respawn you. It sits in a loading screen forever. This forces you to log out of the server and log back in. 2) When you log out of a server your body disappears. Not sure if this is intentional or not but this is the reason bodies disappear after you kill someone. If they want to respawn they are forced to leave the server. Now some people would do it out of spite anyway but some want to play the game as intended and have the body stick around. 3) If you want to have your gear recovered after getting killed don't log out. Currently it is a huge pain in the ass to get gear off of a dead body(with out putting each item on the ground which is a pain in the ass as well) but you can by having a friend take every thing off his body and then putting on everything from your body then putting it all on the ground. This is the only way I have found to recover a friends dead body. While this is happening the player who is dead has to stare at a blank screen while that is going on. These are the culmination of the last couple days for me at least as far as this post is concerned. So intentional, its alpha, it's a bug aside I wanted to see what the community though. I have a feeling once the institute the ability of someone not to combat log some of this will be fixed. Once that is implemented while being dead effect the combat log timer? My biggest problem right now is if I finally kill someone the body is never there log enough for me to get the stuff off of it and it's rare enough I get a kill I deserve to at least get something for it. Anyway thank you for dealing with my rambling. Edited December 23, 2013 by zainredding2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaygoon 240 Posted December 23, 2013 Zombies that decompose after a minute would help with lag on the game because the server wouldnt have to keep lots of dead bodies rendered. Also maybe players bodies decomposing after maybe a minute would help too, and maybe if its hard for players to loot another player they have killed because its out in the open or else might help curb kos a little bit. Zombies in sniper elite nazi zombies (good zombies shit game) are what i mean by decompose, maybe that way when they killed or decompose (turn to dust) after.

austen.fart@gmail.com 54 Posted December 23, 2013 Zombies that decompose after a minute would help with lag on the game because the server wouldnt have to keep lots of dead bodies rendered. The zombies are already rendered.. keeping there bodies there would not decrease any server FPS. It would actually, If anything increase it, becuase there is no AI making it run around anymore..

Diggydug (DayZ) 331 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) It's a bug. One day you should be able to walk down the corpse-littered streets of Elektro as you can in the mod. EDIT: as for combat logging, we don't know how it will work just yet, and if we did, it's subject to change, so we can't really say how that will work Edited December 23, 2013 by Diggydug 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
