dusty_nuttles 130 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) A friend and I were running south towards Pavlovo on the road. Saw two players and cut left to avoid. They chase us a bit and fire a few shots. We keep running and when the coast is clear we log out, I had to take a leak and get a drink. I wouldn't call it combat logging as a few minutes went by after we were shot at and I'm sure we were in the clear. We log back in and we are both fresh spawns w/o our gear and on the coast. Different character model so we are dead. Is this intended or part an alpha bug? Edited December 28, 2013 by Bennet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fluxley 2228 Posted December 28, 2013 Did this happen about 10-12 hours ago? there was some database maintenance going on last night, a few souls were lost. Brian Hicks @Hicks_20612hUsers may experience intermittent persistence issues over the next hour as we perform database maintenance. https://twitter.com/Hicks_206 its either that or just the random lose your character bug thats been happening a lot. There's no anti combat logging at the moment so, so no you weren't the victim of an unknown system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoboss 224 Posted December 28, 2013 Could be a bug, could be a secretly implemented feature (although doubtful ) or the coast wasn't as clear as you thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gamer222 86 Posted December 28, 2013 You combat logged lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raynor009 204 Posted December 28, 2013 You combat logged lol If they were out of the attackers line of sight and logged off behind a rock or some shit I see nothing wrong with it. But if you log out as soon as you get shot then that's combat logging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassifyLP 61 Posted December 28, 2013 It happens some time, I normally log out and log back in an I am back at my old character. It's a common bug, don't worry. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you log out as soon as you get shot then that's combat logging.I think most people would disagree. If you are in a firefight no matter where you are (hidden or not) if you log out, its combatlogging. Period! The guy chasing you could still get you, and you are avoiding that by logging out. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Target Practice (DayZ) 1335 Posted December 28, 2013 I think most people would disagree. If you are in a firefight no matter where you are (hidden or not) if you log out, its combatlogging. Period! The guy chasing you could still get you, and you are avoiding that by logging out. This. Generally, if you're logging out within 5 or so minutes of being involved in direct combat, that (to me) is combat logging. Those players could very well have been following you and you logged out to shake them. (I'm not saying that's what you did, but it's what some people would do) - just because someone doesn't actively have you in their crosshairs when you hit Alt+F4 doesn't make it not combat logging.

Clarkeh 58 Posted December 28, 2013 Did you return to the same server you were one or did you switch server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeceasedPath 21 Posted December 28, 2013 Happens to me every time I log out. No fixes posted anywhere I can find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no anti combat logging at the moment so, so no you weren't the victim of an unknown system. It was around 10:30-11:00 last night so that could be it. Thanks for the detailed information. To those saying I combat logged...I played the mod, ran a server for 6 months and remember the timers for logging out which was 30 seconds. After the shots I ran for over 2 minutes [a lot of distance can be covered in 2 minutes...mod was 1000 meters every three minutes, can't test on this game as there aren't waypoints, but you cover ground way faster in SA than you did in the mod...no proof but it feels that way], we found some cover, stopped...turned around and drew our guns. Waited about about 30 seconds, didn't see anyone. Moved to a decently safe area and logged. Whoever said 5 minutes, come on man...the log out timers on the mod was 30 seconds. We logged back in on a different server and thats when I was fresh spawned w/o gear. I tried logging into another server because this has happened before. I logged in a server for the 1st play of the day and it said 'your dead'...changed servers and all my stuff was intact. Since then if something weird happens I'll just change servs and my gear is back. After this happened last night, we logged off for the night and figured we'll log back in tomorrow and see if that does anything. Haven't logged on yet today.

Nanoton 24 Posted December 28, 2013 See it like karma, you did combat log. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dusty_nuttles 130 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) See it like karma, you did combat log. We turned around and drew our guns and waited, didn't see anybody, found better cover and logged. Thats not combat logging. Any further posts arguing this point will go w/o a reply. Edited December 28, 2013 by Bennet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dusty_nuttles 130 Posted December 29, 2013 Just now... Load up DayZ...character model is different so I figure all is lost. Log onto a server, bam---all my stuff is back!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
