Synopsis 0 Posted July 29, 2012 While I don't mean to rage here, I do wish to bring up a point which I feel should be atleast addressed in a patch to come.So my story goes like this: This morning, while I had just looted Stary and was heading up towards the airfield, I attracted the notice of a zombie. Well, as you all know, it's easy to lose a zombie when you run sideways up a hill, so that's just what I was about to do. At this moment by little brother walks in and asks my help for something. So, reluctantly I oblige and hit Esc - Abort - Disconnect, hoping to reconnect when I was done with whatever my brother needed help with. As I was doing this, the zombie caught up with me and hit me once (I thought nothing of it because this had happened to me before and I hadn't lost much health) However, when I reconnected I found myself bleeding out, with the ticker barely moving at all. I ended up losing about 11,000 blood points in a matter of literally 3 minutes, while the time ticker (whatever you want to call it) was not even half way done.Needless to say I was incredibly pissed, since I ended up losing my hard-earned gear, including a gillie suit. All I can say is WHAT THE FUCK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nicraM 137 Posted July 29, 2012 You just suck. You should have turned around killed the zombie(s) and logged to help your bro.It would have taken you, what? Five more seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strawcrow 10 Posted July 29, 2012 If you leave a server injured, it will always make you come in next time passed out. I think this is done on purpose to help deal with DCs to avoid death. Never DC when you are injured. If you are a bit desynced when you leave, you may not even see the bleeding till you come in next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rono 56 Posted July 29, 2012 If you were killed by a lone zombie in the middle of nowhere, why wouldn't you just run back and loot your body? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raaad 3 Posted July 29, 2012 Ya shit happens like that, today I logged in a fresh spawn (havent even moved yet) and walked to the other room to get my iPad to figured out where I was on the map and by the time I got back I had three zombies raping me. Oh well learned my lesson and will always go prone instantly upon spawning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sausagekingofchicago 4711 Posted July 29, 2012 And the moral of the story: Kill the zombie before you log out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corvax (DayZ) 15 Posted July 30, 2012 you do hear how rediculous you sound right ?. . -> Zombies hit me -> I log out to do random shit -> login thinking the previous zombie attack/hit/dmg wont have any fucking effect on my game at all... Ofc your unconcious.. you can try relogging again for a smaller timer but I think they fixed that bug.. IF your in shock when you log out ofc you wont be standing up all dandy when you come back in.. especially if your also bleeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
