Demoth 366 Posted February 10, 2014 I KNOW this has been discussed, but any search for "disappear" "Disappearing" or "bodies" shows 0 results in the forums.... well, I guess I'll ask here. Has anyone else experienced the disappearing bodies lately? I don't mean the 10 minute marker, I mean the 30 seconds one. What's the criteria for that? I got into a gun fight with someone in Balota. I shot them, they fell. Dead. I'm waiting for a little to make sure he didn't have a friend, and suddenly he disappears. It must have been no more than 40 seconds between him dying and then his body vanishing. So anyone have any idea what this is about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geckofrog7 1168 Posted February 10, 2014 He probably logged out. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mercules 1290 Posted February 10, 2014 So when you die, if you log out your body disappears? Might have been unconscious and if he logs out then he dies, but you also don't get his gear because the body vanishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geckofrog7 1168 Posted February 10, 2014 Maybe he was Unconscious, as soon as he regained conscience?(if that's even a word) he logged off?I know for sure if you log off while unconscious your body disappears.Dunno why.Not completely certain it works the same if you died, but maybe the guy was unconscious after you shot him, rather than dead?

Confound it! That must be it then. Alright, thanks. I'll go see if that's reported in the bug tracker thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demoth 366 Posted February 10, 2014 ALPHA (for Insane Aradia) Heeeey, I was in that thread, I see what you're doing! Still, I guess I deserve nothing as I was the jerk who shot first, unprovoked. Then again, I'm the bane of Balota, and allll them phat lewtz is mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigfrak 116 Posted February 11, 2014 yes if you kill someone and they log the body will be gone, they need to fix it and fast i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sab 32 Posted February 11, 2014 Has anyone else experienced the disappearing bodies lately? I don't mean the 10 minute marker, I mean the 30 seconds one. What's the criteria for that? Actually had a friend die to a noclip ladder free fall the other day. Took off all his gear just in case he couldn't get back in 10 minutes, his body actually stayed for the entire roughly 25 minute duration. We left before we saw it disappear which had been maybe ~30 minutes after his death, so they must have increased the time for body despawn or something. Like other people have suggested, I've had people log out after I knocked them unconscious with my fists and just disappear maybe 10 - 20 seconds after before I could kill them. If I had to make an assumption, that is my guess as to what happened in this case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
