Bedroll AND corpses disappearing?

[Rhoklaw]

So, I always have a bedroll down because the game is brutal now with spiders spitting poison like a friggin machine gun or packs of hyenas aggroing from across the map. Anyhow, I saved my spawn point, came back to my base and knew I was going to die because of thirst. So I figured, what the heck, I'll die right next to my bedroll. Nope, bedroll was gone and I ended up back at the newbie area. After trekking back to my base, 20-30 minutes later, I come to loot my corpse and it's gone. It's a private server, no one else on and I died in my base to thirst and my corpse disappears in less than 30 minutes?

How in the hell did it take you 30 minutes to get to your corpse? Corpse timer is 10 minutes tops which my blind grandmother could find in 5.

If you bothered to read my post you toxic piece of ♥♥♥♥, you'd realize my bedroll disappeared and I was forced to spawn across the map. Except being the worthless troll you are, you can't read and instead just make useless comments. Also, please enlighten everyone where it says corpses only last 10 minutes. There isn't even a server command to adjust corpse duration.

To be fair people break bedrolls in pvp if they think its abandoned, and if you never hit E on it after making it, you never linked to it, if some one one else in a clan hit E on it, and respawned then its gone, ifyou died once already its gone. they are one time use and bloclk claim on land so they get busted if left out in open, and don't have real life expentancy since its one use item.

Yes, all this I understand completely, but it's a newly launched private server and there were only 2 people playing, 1 clan mate that was nowhere near me and myself. I had just placed the bedrool and I don't even use the single tap E to activate as sometimes that fails to register. I always use the radial menu to activate beds.

Anyhow, as I died of thirst next to where my bedroll used to be, I had no choice but to spawn back at the beginning and no, you won't trek back to every part of the map in 5 minutes. If there is a server command to adjust corpse deteriotation, great, but I don't see it and I have yet to see an official statement from Funcom on how long a fully geared corpse stays in the game.

Sounds like you got in over your head and left newb valley too soon, my money is some one else used the roll and died, you partner probaly did, Never seen one vanish from non death or player attack, and I found old ownerless ones blocking building hidden in the grass more then once from some oen who long ago liek day 2 redid their char and left their mat out. Like a group had that happen after the removal of the exploit with mats and campfires someo ne made a mat near them and they couldn't build they had to hunt the thing down they found the owner latter and found out it was left there for 3 days unused and forgoten about.

Bedrolls only work once. After you respawn, it disappears and you have to make a new one.

Ok, apparently I'm not making myself very clear. It's a newly launched private server and there were only 2 people playing, 1 clanmate and myself. I know for a fact no one else used my bedroll, because no one else was playing. I'm not sure why you keep informing me about bedrolls. I know how the work, I know they are one time use. I'm telling you, I put a bedroll down, used radial menu to activate it, went about my business, came back to where my bedroll was, died of thirst. My bedroll was gone, no one used it, no one destroyed it. IT DISAPPEARED. So, let's stop talking about bedrolls.

I want to know what the OFFICIAL timer on geared player corpses is. I don't need speculative answers. Information like that is useless and often times confuses the community. I'm also trying to figure out if they can add a server command to adjust corpse deteriation rate as there currently isn't one. You can only change whether a player drops his items upon death or keeps them, that is it.
