Goodo 8 Posted August 29, 2012 Fairly new to the game and very new to the PVP aspect. In fact I committed my first murder last night.It was dark, I was on the periphery of a campfire after cooking a rabbit, he was strafe-running with his eys on the campsite on a tragectory that would have run right over the top of me, I had a very short time to make a very hard decision and plugged him with 4 STANAG rounds before he new I was there, saw the death notice, felt bad, lost my 3950 humanity.Anyway, not 3 seconds later his body disappeared with no chance to loot.My question is,Was it just a glitch on the server? Or was it something he may have done after he died?I've seen a few references on the forums regarding disconnecting AFTER death and wanted some more details.I've had my share of player inflicted deaths and have always disconnected back to the lobby straight away, Have I been cheating someone of my beans.

Blakbewwy 8 Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah happened before. The guy I killed sunk too, and I presumed he was a hacker. Guess not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted August 30, 2012 If a player is fair enough to not DC after death i even leave the body to be looted... in fact we had two who didn't DC after death when we shot them to get their truck ( while they were carelessly looting without cover :D ) so i didn't even bother looking for loot on them since i had everything i needed on me, neither did my buddy who helped me with the ambush.

BlksnshN 127 Posted August 30, 2012 So, if I die and get the "you are dead screen", then hit, abort, disconnect, and rejoin, am I still cheating people out of their loot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas889 14 Posted August 30, 2012 Nope. Only if you ALT+F4.Congrats on being Genuine ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
