Why am i getting 5 minute penality?

[Regiee 5]

Hi guys,

Im getting the five minute penality but am definately not trying to cheat death. Heres a brief overview of last nights events:

My friend and i were shot at by a sniper and both hit pretty badly, i was unconscious while my mate was able to bandage and hide in a bush. Luckily, the bandit sniper headed for my mate first and just before he got to him i got back to my feet and shot him in the back, while my mate emptied his pistol into him.

Im miles away from the nearest hospital, but am more experienced player than my friend so i told him we'd head for a house and disconnect for the night.

Upon connecting today i received the five minute penalty, which i thought was strange. Played for a few hours this morning, and due to my blood being 798 and travelling at night (so paranoid now), its very very slow going.

I passed out multiple times along the way but was fine before disconnecting. Upon jumping in just now i have the five minute penalty again???

Is this to do with low blood and the game thinks im trying to cheat? I tried a different server but the same applied.

Im going to put up as it only happens entering the server, its just annoying that i find time to play and then have to wait an additional 5 minutes, in front of my computer as id dare not leave it and come back to find myself eaten.

Anybody else experiencing this or know why its happening?

Cheers,

Its everyone, and if you try to disconnect after you are going to die to save yourself it trying to cheat death.

Its probably the game thinking you are very close to death (which actually is the case) because 798 blood is really low.

As you call yourself an experienced player I am surprised that you didn't eat any provisions before moving on? I usually make sure I am above 9000 blood and never have less than 4 cooked meat and two full canteens before I log off.

Im aware of the penalty thanks but i dont think you read my post in its entirety.

I wasn't 'going' to die, i was just near death (flashing red blood without flashing white cross) both times i disconnected.

I was trying to ascertain whether i was receiving it because i was in a physical state that made it mandatory to receive it, or if i was being classed wrongly because thats when most people disconnect to avoid death.

anyways, the issue has subsided now and i have had two full runs without consequence, although still no where near the hospital. sigh

Yeah thats what i was thinking, maybe i was being greouped with people who get badly hurt and disconnect.

No i said i was more experienced than my friend. in no way am i an experienced player, its just that my friend is learning from me and has only be playing a couple of days. so i told him to wait until i made it back to him... assuming i do :P
