What's going on here?

[Thundirah 18]

So, I was in Balota airfield minding my own business, trying to find some nice military grade loot and I decided to logout and exit the game whilst prone in one of the big hangars, upon logging back in, I found myself immediately unconscious. Alt+f4, log back in, unconscious. dafuq?

Sick? Shock? Zombie close?

Was it the 5 minute timer?

[Thundirah 18]

Well it was taking really long :/

It's shock. It's an effect used to prevent or discourage disconnecting to avoid combat. If you quit and join to frequently it can apply to you. Typically, you get it any time you damage yourself or another player damages you, forcing you to wait it off, for about 5 minutes, before deciding to log out.

This shit happens to me and my mate all the time. Now we just hoard epipens and carry them around in case it happens.

It's annoying as hell. I logged out at my camp for the night, (hadn't been in a gunfight or anything at all that day.) Logged in the next day, unconscious. It's a load of bull.

I think its the logout abuse thing. I had the graphics bug the other day and logged out a couple times and it happened to me in the middle of nowhere.

I went away for a couple of hours and logged back in the nothing.. everything was fine.

That is the most evil thing since the LoL leaver buster

The problem is that is seems to be getting applied invisibly now to people who are swapping servers to frequently. I get it sometimes cause I have a camp in the same spot on two servers, but whatever. Just have to lay there until it's done.

Your character is just getting tired.
