Hey Guys, 

 

I have been watching  a lot of DAYZ SA vids on youtube, and hear mention of the terms Ghosting as in, "be careful, he may Ghost in" and "he combat logged". 

 

I have searched for explanation of these terms and haven't really found a good explanation of each. Can someone help me out and explain exactly what these terms mean, and why they are major issues ?

 

Thanks, 

 

Stang.

Ghosting is combat logging ( logging out during a fire fight) jumping to a new (empty) server positioning yourself to be in a better spot and coming back into server to "ghost" kill your enemies.

most of the time its the streamer/youtubers way of excusing anyone who recks them.

Ahhhh................ That makes sense now. Thanks Sweendawg !! 

 

So will this only work if they are still alive and/or unconcious ?? So best to make sure they are dead to prevent this from happening ?

 

Sorry for my ignorance..... Just want to better understand gameplay mechanics.

Ghosting can also mean that someone is watching the streamers stream, and ambushes them.

 

Though I would wager it doesnt happen as often as they say it does.

 

Combat logging and bhopping (moving in a 'safe server to attack someone in another server) was set back in the last patch. There is now a logout timer, and if you attempt to switch servers to quickly you get a 300 second timer.
