Can you loot combat loggers killed whilst sitting for the log-out timer

[crazyandlazy 376]

We tested the combat logging yesterday but forgot to see if we could loot the body of the combat logger.

 

Anyone kind enough to share their knowledge?

Yes you can...unfortunately handcuffing him is useless because his body disappears either way....so ye shoot him in the face and loot him...its like the unknown entity issue.

 

Forgot to add that even if killed you still need to be quick about looting cause his body will disappear as soon the 30 secs are up. ;) not sure about that though.

You would think yes. its just as if the player was AFK.

How long does he stay in? Did you happen to wait for the body to dissapear?

Yap as soon as the player disconnects from the server the body disappears. If the player combat logs then his body will stay as an unknown entity for 30 secs. Btw the sitting down aint working, he just stays crouched for the duration of time.

Take a look at this thread containing a video of someone getting killed while logging out. You get exactly 30 seconds to kill and loot the guy before he disappears, dead or alive. I expect this to be fixed in some later patches, because obviously the body should stay if the player gets restrained, knocked unconscious or killed during countdown.

I can accept when Rocket says that bodies cause server problem even if its completely unrealistic for bodies to disappear cause for me is a must not to, how else would you identify a hostile place? A proximity of 300 meters for example would be acceptable but nothing less...i just hope the solve this problem soon and make bodies stay indefinitely.

 

But tbh I kinda like where this is going...eliminating KOS...making all items ruined, bodies disappearing and no combat log, makes bandits to try and hold people up instead of KOSing...cause kos right now is the most unrewarding gameplay you can have...

But people will still kill for ammo. Ruined ammo stills works.
