Despawn?

Recommended Posts

So I got into a fight with someone and they did a decent amount of damage to me but didn't kill me. Since it was taking so long for my blood and health to come back I went ahead and killed myself. It took me about 20 to 30 minutes to get back to where I killed myself and my body had already Despawned. So I went to where I killed the guy and his body was still there. Why did my body despawn so fast? Was it because I killed myself? I had a ton of good gear. If I would of known my body was going to disappear I wouldn't of done that. Help anyone?

The only explanation I can think of off the top of my head is that your body was actually still there, but was clipped into the ground.  I have had this happen to me before with some of the players I've killed -- it usually involves the body falling near uneven ground.  The game does some weirdness sometimes due to the lack of a true ragdoll effect, so perhaps that was what happened here as well.

I thought you would still be able to hear the flies though?
