Daddy'o (DayZ) 146 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I've been spending some time around cherno and mainly the western hill from elektro powerstation. Yes I've shot some unarmed people, armed people, noobies, groups of experienced players etc... but disregarding those, the group of who I've killed the most of is the snipers around there.You wouldn't believe the amount of pvp that is to be had just by sitting on the hill west of the powerstation. Nine out of ten times there's someone around there or on the northern tree line.I've only got 9 kills so far. Of the nine all are the people I've sniped are people roaming around the area. But I've actually ended the life of 15 players.The kills haven't been added to my murder / bandit kill count. Why? Because every time I shoot one of these as50 / L85A2 / M107 / SVD snuggling pieces of garbage (yes, my kin), they disconnect. Not when I start to shoot, not while I'm shooting, not after they've been hit, but right when they're dead or dying. Just before the server tags the death.result: player got his ass handed to him, he's dead, the body disappears, no murder for me, no body running to him.It's the absolute null of an outcome. No one gets anything. And I don't even mind the loot, I already have everything. I'm just interested why go through the bother of disconnecting when you're dead in 3 extra seconds.Is it to prevent me from getting loot, in case I wanted some? Is it in the hopes that you will somehow magically roll back and not be dead when you reconnect? Is it to prevent me from getting the murder? Or something else?If you do it, have done it, do tell about your motives. Edited August 7, 2012 by Daddy'o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swineflew 480 Posted August 7, 2012 If he was dead you'd get the murder. Sounds like they got away and altf4'd to another server to bandage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hds02115 2 Posted August 7, 2012 I haven't done it but my thoughts would be that they can load back into another, less populated server to die, then run back to loot their own gear. Seems like the only reason that would make it worth the trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamerer 65 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Just to piss off the killer, I think. I've got my own share of loggers and while it also kind of gets to me at times, I also understand the anger of getting killed pretty randomly without having the chance to fight back against the sniper pisses you off quite a bit. Some people also just want to ragequit the game in a rather rapid succession.I died last night while having an m4 cco sd + other rather swag gear (2 nvgs in the backpack), and I logged off after getting killed in 5-10 seconds or so. Not to deny the killer of his prize, but out of mere frustration.e: Also, what's the sniper you're using? A 50cal hit is a guaranteed kill, but any mid-tier sniper shot gives you a chance of being patched up by your friends (namely M24 CZ550 DMR), correct me if I'm wrong...

I went through a phase where I refused to use "rare" gear as it cuts so deep when you get killed and have to start over. I got over it but still, it is a fair point.

A good almost 10 minutes later of silence, I spot him. 5 meters away to my left.........With my m16 on semi auto, I empty 15 rounds to him (confirmed hits), at least a couple hitting his head. He's down, bleeding like stuck pig, his friend with an L85 starts unloading at me, missing and I get away. As I'm backing away I see the corpse disappear, and no murder appears on my screen. At this point that's the 6th kill like that I think.The guy's most definitely dead from 15 direct m16 hits from 5 meters. But the server takes that crucial few seconds to log the kill. At this moment he disappears. No matter wherever he spawns, he'll already spawn dead fresh from the beach. He won't even get the unconscious state or anything, I know this from experience having been using this method a couple of times with zombies.

But yes, if the person were to log into the same server again, you'd have the kill logged. I'm pretty sure the guy died from a multiple M16 gunshots, having registered to the hive, but not to your kill count. People like to act like complete tossers when they're pissed, I wouldn't worry about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haplo (DayZ) 44 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) gets so frustrating hey.. i don't care for the loot, i would like the kills to count though. a few nights ago a mate and i should have killed 5 diferent people in the space of 2 minutes, but every single one of them logged. it was kinda funny though really.. 15 minutes and a few more almost kills/kills later, we were on a mad buzz, got flanked, and died like men Edited August 7, 2012 by Haplo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
