thompsonmike 2 Posted July 1, 2012 I'm a little confused so maybe someone can help me? Today, I had three player kills. One guy had a really nice rifle and I was excited to be able to loot it. Well all three of the players right after I killed them sunk into the earth. In the new patch are you not allowed to loot player corpses anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveba50 0 Posted July 1, 2012 I saw this in NW barracks the player slowly sunk through the floor flys buzzing and all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bower 4 Posted July 1, 2012 This has started to become a rather annoying problem. I remember in earlier versions when a body would only despawn if someone used the "hide body" option. It seems totally random now. I dunno what change rocket has made but it isn't working out. I appreciate we need to discourage players from simply retrieving their items after death but it's also rather annoying for the winner of a gunfight as it is right now.

Zarathustra (DayZ) 87 Posted July 1, 2012 Yes, I've been wondering about this too. Was the despawn time for bodies changed recently? I find bodies disappear after about 5-10 minutes - they used to stay for much much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bower 4 Posted July 1, 2012 It isn't always 5-10 minutes. Check this video for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpNiPnhCCb4&feature=g-uplThe dude climbing the ladders kills the two on the roof. Notice that the victim with the L85 starts sinking into the building almost instantly after death. I'm starting to think it's related to the player disconnecting from the server but far from certain.

Is that the alt f4ing that Hitler is talking about? That really pisses me off! I'm going to go to these douche bags houses and shoot them for real and see how they alt f4 out of that! If that's the case I'll tell you what, the clan PFB are a bunch of dick head pussies. =)sincerelyMikePS My buddy and I got killed by a door glitch hitting us in the face breaking our bones and making us unconscious and bleed out. Our bodies were still there about an hour and 15 minutes later. That's just to answer someone elses question. That was about a week ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blippy 26 Posted July 1, 2012 I have an idea of what the problem might be.I think that the server cleans up multiples of the same player's corpse. So if you die, respawn, and then run back to your corpse, it will probably be there. But if you die, respawn, die again, then respawn again, your old body will be automatically cleaned up to prevent server load from all the corpses.It sucks, because it can be exploited by killing yourself repeatedly to deny your killers from looting you.

There's no way that victim with the L85 could have respawned twice that quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gizm0 96 Posted July 1, 2012 Its when a player dies and disconnects without respawning. This is why I leave servers every time, I die to piss off the bandit wanting my loot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
