30 seconds after logout question

[stealth_katsu 26]

Quick question, according to the new patch, your player will remain seated in game for 30 seconds after logging out (discourage players from combat logging etc). Therefore it is the player's responsibility to get somewhere safe before exiting the server. I'm on board with this plan and think it is a great idea.

 

My question is this...Suppose you log out after a 2-3 hour session in the middle of the forest. You decide immediately after logging out to join another server where your friend is playing. Because you had been connected to the prior server for a considerable amount of time, the game will allow you to join your friend's server immediately (no cooldown wait timer)

 

Given this scenario, your character would be physically present in two servers simultaneously for roughly 25 seconds. So, what happens if you are some how killed in that 30 second time period while your player is sitting in the original server (chilling in the forest), but you have already connected and are actively playing on a different server?

 

I tried searching the forum for an answer to this, but didn't see anything conclusive. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

you solve the "problem" by renting your own server. all "reporting" whiners should do this and stop bugging everybody else with there petty problems ^^

• Login: Players receive a login timeout when disconnect, increased if disconnect within 30 minutes of joining (max 5 minutes)

But this isn't true. Last night after playing for 1 hour+ in a few servers I was able to connect to another server immediately.

Same here!

 

I've not experienced any kind of cooldown by myself.
