Your body lasts around five minutes, and then your bag lasts 20 minutes after that. Your bag does not despawn if you die again.

I've heard due to the wonky physics your body can sometimes be sent flying into low orbit or the sun.

Body 5 min. Bag 15 min. The problem is, half the time you get back to your body, and there is nothing there. No body. No bag. And its only been 2 min. I personally think your "bag" that spawns after your body decays/is eaten should NOT despawn until someone loots it. Simple reason: Many times you just can not get back to your body within 20 min to get your items and if a dino eats your body, you automaatically lose 5 minutes to get back to your body. Needs work.

I wouldn't go as far as "never despawn", but definitely something like a full day and night ingame.

It would also be nice if we could "Ping" the bag within a certain distance with our implant thingie in the arm. Nothing more frustrating than sifting through a large area with lots of tall grass...

Agree! They need to allow players to shut off grass. This would solve many problems, including so much FPS loss for many players.

Dying to a Bronto is a one way trip. I rarely get my body back afterwards.

Turn ground clutter and ground distance down.
