Logged out but still got killed

[Preller von Nuttenhausen]

hello and sry for the incoming bad english in advance.
Today i disconnected from the server and had some pretty good gear, when i logged back in i spawned as a new spawn.
I made some research on it and i found out that you can get killed while you are not even logged in.
My question now is, do the developers want it to be that way or is it just a bug?
if they dont want it that way.
will it be patched soon or is it low priority.
Because i think the game is great BUT getting killed while you are looged our is a nogo in my opinion.

It's not a bug. Your body lies on the ground when you are logged off, you need to find some place, where you're safe. Build a shelter/house with door. Mind that wooden doors can be destroyed rather quick, metal doors need to be blown with explosives, so they're safer.

[simpliv]

Shanties (the quick drop shelter you can build) decay in 15 hours, and can also be destroyed faster than doors.

Keep an eye out for servers with "sleeper" in the name. IIRC that means your body will fall unconscious to the ground and players will be able to kill you. I'm not sure if this can be deactivated, however.

well i was inside of my shelter.
Had a wooden door...
i really enjoy playing rust but i have to work + got a reallife, it feels like they force me to stay online or die.
Thats not what gaming is for me, it takes quiete a while to build a really safe house and loot all that stuff, and i dont unserstand where to point is in doing so when i get killed as soon as a logg out...
if i understand you right. they wont be changing anything about the "sleeping" it will stay as it is
?

[simpliv]

They'll probably allow server owners to disable it. Like I said, I don't even know if you can do that already.

Rust is a very time-intensive game and they'll probably fix a lot of the issues in the future.

[Preller von Nuttenhausen]

ok
thanks for the fast responses.
i guess im not the only person who is wondering if that "sleeper mode" will stay in the game and if people get the option to turn it off.
Maybe a dev can answer this.
So a quick respsonse by a dev would really be appreciated.

I honestly don't even know if that's what sleeper means, to be honest. I think it means something else, but yeah, falling asleep is pretty much a key feature of the game.


EDIT ----

That does in fact mean what I'm talking about. Sleeper was implemented as a system to combat loggers who log out during combat to avoid death.

I have a tip for you, if you log out in your shelter with a sleeping bag and door of course, when you log back in say 6 hours or so later you will be naked with a rock again. What you do is get yourself killed on purpose then click respawn at camp option, you should arrive in your hut on your sleeping bag. It's a character refresh log in bug, as it should auto log you back in your hut or home you built with sleeping bag.

Having said that like other said people can hack your door down, that is why I have a metal door, but 2 C4's can take it down. I have a row of metal doors to annoy any intruders wanting to raid, so far it's proved itself more than one occasion.

[simpliv]

Wood walls / etc. can be destroyed by explosives, so there's that. Metal doors are only in place to intimidate / annoy low-tier bandits who run around with a 9mm / P250.

Wood shanties (shelters) take 100 hits to break. Wooden doors take 160. In general, it's a giant waste of metal fragments to put a metal door on a shanty. Just build a small base (1x1 foundation is good and not resource-intensive to log out in).

Log out in the cliffs. Tuck your body in some rocks or a hard to reach perch on a cliff somewhere and log out there. Never leave your body somewhere where there are buildings or ways for bandits to find you.

Yes, Sleeper means that when you log out, you leave a sleeping body in the game, and yes, you can be killed and looted.

Yes, Sleepers can be disabled on servers that have mods installed. I leave it on my server, to prevent people from combat logging.

However, I also have removed C4 from my server, so as long as you have barred windows, a complete ceiling and a metal door, no one can break in and kill/rob you without hacking.


All that being said, there is also a bug in the game. It seems to happen to me at least half the time I log in. I will log in and find myself naked and in a random spawn point. If I get back to where I logged however, I'll find my backpack on the ground where my sleeping body was.

I've gotten into the habit of emptying my inventory into a chest before I log out, if possible.


My advice: Keep an eye out for servers that advertise No C4 and empty your inventory before logging.

Going offline and sleeping is part of the game. It wouldn’t be much of a survival game if you could just go offline and hide without worry of being found and looted and/or killed while offline. If you don’t like that, then there are a handful of servers that have it disabled, but they have few players. If that’s no good, then this isn’t the game for you.
