Zemmer 3 Posted January 7, 2014 So I was having a shoot out across an airfield, suddenly the firing stopped I thought maybe I Killed the person.. I decided to wait a bit.. 3 mins or so pass a person shows up behind me in the middle of the field and kills me... My guess is the person joined a low pop server.. ran behind me and rejoined the server. -Fast server loading, Good or Bad?? I say bad.Maybe when you manually leave a server there should be a 5 min or more load in time?.. I dunno just sucks being killed that way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flagella 69 Posted January 7, 2014 This isn't the first thread of this type, heaps of people complain about it everydayThey'll probably put a timer or something in eventually to stop this from happening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DubPlate 38 Posted January 7, 2014 Possible, or it was just another person, you were on an airfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millhouse 3 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Players are server hopping all the time. Today we killed a group of like 5 players and only 1 player survived. Then after few seconds he just spawned right in front of us and disconnect. I didn't had time to react. We ran away a bit and he spawned in front of us again... It's just stupid and cowardly.

raynor009 204 Posted January 7, 2014 People join low population server for looting only. You actually got a higher change beeing killed on server with 9 players than on server with 40 players. Avoid logging off in police stations, barracks, firestations or other shit. Go log off in a bush nearby or something like that. I've killed tons of people in police stations because they logged in there. Once three guys logged in front of me inside the police station so I gave each a .357 to chew on. Use your brains guys.

(1stFG)THEMUFFINMAN 6 Posted January 16, 2014 this just happened to me. in a house only way for him to get behind me was to log out then back in. i cleared the 3 floors then covered the door. these types of players are only in it for the killing not the game play. week scared players. thats all.

gaint 80 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Just prepare yourself and be aware that this situation can happen everytime...in the current state it's part of the game u need to handle (until the devs patch it somehow) Edited January 16, 2014 by Gaint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherious 907 Posted January 16, 2014 Another one of these threads ;-; but I feels ya fellow survivor! You gotta be REALLY cautious and always look around you. :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted January 16, 2014 True. But it has been confirmed, that this (combat logging, ghosting) is high priority for the next patch. What you can do is very simple: Move. When you don't here or see something for some time (3 mins is a LOT of time in a fight ;)) move...change your position, eyes and ears wide open ;)Because either the other player Combat logged or is trying to ghost you, or he is trying to flank you (or he ran away)Just be careful when moving - you dont want him to give him a clear shot at you ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinphaltimus 262 Posted January 16, 2014 I think logging in to a server should not put you in the same place you left off. Put you at spawn location for now. Until we get camps or tents or whatever it is we're getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
