The combat logging is terrible in this game

[NotDavid 4]

(Title is for SA only)

 

From my personal experience people do one of the following 4/5 times.

 

1. Disconnect as soon as they see you

2. Disconnect the moment you engage with them (I only shoot if they act hostile or make me feel threatened/uneasy)

3. Disconnect as soon as they die after engaging with you which prevents looting

 

Like last night I encountered a guy at an Airfield and saw that he was holding an axe and had an M4 on his back. Well he was not responding to me over voip when I tried to communicate so I assumed him to be hostile and took a couple of shots at him and he literally just vanished before I even had time to pull the trigger a 3rd time at him. I never saw him come back again. I think he disconnected on my first shot but his body was still there for a few seconds while he was being disconnected. Regardless, this happens all the time and it's frustrating.

 

Will they add in the 30 second timer like in DayZ Mod where you can't log out within 30 after engaging in combat?

People are cowards, obnoxious and daft. Will be patched hopefully soon, so they cannot escape.

They will, Its just not active in the SA yet but dont worry.

The only problem with that is you can still alt f4 out. The only clear salutation would to implement a 30 sec despawn of your player  so even if players alt f4 their character is still in game and can be killed for the next 30 secs. Also on top of that once you disconnect from the server even as a crash or alt f4 you are put on a 1 min timer on the hive so as to check if you are dead.

Oh. Another topic about combat logging. It's not like there's been 300 of those already...

Okay, that wasn't exactly 300, but it was close, and only the first page when I searched...

KOS = Valid mechanic, you can prevent KOS if you are smart

 

Combat logging = Worst kind of cheat / exploit

KoS means shooting at anything that moves. I mean anything. (Later good adition that I thunk up:) All the time. No pause for thought, no need to shoot, just unload bullets. I guess if that floats your boat its ok. It's basically playing the game the easiest way possible, something which many people cannot help but facepalm at. Including me. I want to bang my head on my desk for people because they cannot handle a bit of extra tension out of player interactions. Sorry but I find that laughable in a computer game.

Edit: Not to speak of the fact that KoSing is enjoyable to a point but you are missing out on so much more the game offers. 

 

What I said of KoS a few hours ago.

ive experienced what you describe as "Disconnect as soon as they die after engaging with you which prevents looting" and I dont think that is the case. The other day me and my friend were looting balota and I was on the very top of the ATC tower (thats what we call it the aircraft control tower looking building) and I suddenly just died, and so did all my friends, we assumed it was a hacker. Now what im getting to, is before we left the you are dead screen we waited to make sure our bodys wouldnt despawn but sure enough as soon as we got back to our bodys they were gone (we both got balota spawns) so I think that problem isnt really people intentionally disconnecting fast so their bodys despawn like in the mod but I think its a problem with the game right now

bodies disappear as soon as you die currently, that's 100% true
