Combat logging still possible?

[lokix1x 1]

Been out the loop recently with our newborn and just wanted clarification on where we are at with combat logging. 

 

Been keeping up with the patch notes i know a spawn timer has been implemented but not to sure on a log out timer where your character stays in game for a set time. Thought it had been but popped ingame a few days ago and went to the new coast town, walked into the piano house with my B92 (one shot loaded instead of two :( met a player, he shot and missed, i shot and hit him and he bled, went to shoot again and got dead mans click, ran out the same way i came in, reloaded, went back in to finish him off and he was gone. All doors were shut and he wasn't upstairs.

 

Can you still combat log? Or did i just completely miss him running out behind we when I ran out to reload?

When you log out of the game your character sits down for 30 seconds and is unable to defend himself.

 

If you left him alone in the building for 30 seconds or more, it is possible he combat logged.

*snipped.

When you log off your character stays in game for 30 seconds; he sits down in game.

So if you engage a player and he just sits down.. you know he has logged off. You can kill him obviously.

This what happens now, if you try and combat log out:

Haha idiot...the body glitched through the roof...they shoud increase the cooldown to a minute or more if you have fired your weapon and/or a player is nearby. Should teach them. A normal player logging out would look for a much safer place.

Cheers for clearing this up. Wasn't more than 30 secs, i literally ran out the door and to the left, loaded two shots and ran back in. He must have ran out right behind me and i didn't see him, very lucky boy.

Same thing happened to me and my friend playing the other day,we came across a player and i shot him a few times he ran around a corner and my friend shot and killed him and his body disappeared,i don't think he had time to log but he was gone.

I think if a player dies while in the sitting position the timer stops and you can loot his body.

Or does that happen and he just didnt kill him before the 30 secs was up? (in above video)

When the initial combat log patch came out they bodies would disappear if they logged, it was a bug. they corrected it with a hot fix so now if you kill someone when they log the body sits there for ten minutes just like a normal kill.

30second is not enough. DayZ is not a call of duty and firefighs can last even 10 minutes or longer so i think it needs to be buffed.
