http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Logging_out

"Please note that if a player logs out of the game without an aggression timer/PvP logout timer and is shot at or aggressed in other ways before his ship disappears from space, he will not be given an aggression timer (unless the player logs in again within 15 minutes), which in turn leads to his ship disappearing exactly one minute after the time which he logged out of the game. The ship will still take damage as normal however, so if you are packing enough firepower to destroy the ship before the one minute timer is over, it will be destroyed. "

So yeah, working as intended, I guess. I suggest bringing more lazorz

It's quite possibly the lamest thing in EVE and should have been changed years ago. There's really no words to describe. It it the single lamest and most broken log off mechanic I've ever seen in a MMORPG.

CCP should be embarrassed for letting this stay in the game for so long. It's really that bad.

So how would you fix it so that the mechanic doesn't screw over Joe Average, who has to log his BS off now (in space) to get to work in the morning?

At least you can't log out from combat any more.

I agree this freighter being able to log off to avoid the OP is a bit dumb. I do not think he logged off before loading the system, though, just while he was under cloak. (Do these ships cloak after jumping, like subcaps?)

Jump gate log out to cheat on timers.

Seems pretty much like an exploit and not the intent of the rule.

Logging off to avoid timers to get away is not how this stuff is supposed to work. If it is supposed to work that way a CCP DEV better speak up and say so now.

shut up you big baby. bring more firepower

Easy, you have to do a 5-10 second log off process before your ship leaves space. You decloak and slow down during these 5-10 seconds and if you get attacked, you cancel your log off process. You know, like how camping works in every other mmorpg. Apparently every other MMORPG is hardcore while EVE is a joke.

And yes I understand there are people who crash when they jump into a gate. Too bad. I don't get invulnerability if I crash or my router drops me during pvp.

How do you know the guys' client didn't crash while trying to load system?

Why would that matter. He decided to jump to low sec. He new or should know the risks.

If you got a bad connection that's not my fault. If you got such a bad connection that it crashes when you jump to a system you deserve to have your stuff blown up.

Yeah cause 20 guys taking it to 15% hull in less then 30 seconds is not enough firepower.......


Thats clearly a ridiculous burden to put on the players.

You know what all log offs should have the 15 min rule cause this is freaking broken.

you are jus full oft fail. 10 tornados suicidegank freighters in higsec...

Yeah, it turns out, like, in lowsec, right, you know, in a real fight, or on a gate, you need this thing, right, called tanking, and if you're moving around, right, like these guys, like, you need, like, not a battleship, because it's slow as arse, like.

Lol pirate tears.

But seriously, the guy was already logged off before you aggroed him, therefore it's working as designed according to the Wiki. He would only get the 15 min timer if pointed BEFORE logging. Exactly how do you suppose CCP should guess that someone will be attacked after logged off?

Moral of the story, keep camping until he logs back in. Oh wait, that would be work, amirite? You just want free kills.

Yeah cause that video totally shows us not working to get that kill..... Oh no wait it shows the OPPOSITE of that.

Simple you should not get the Log off timer shield if its from jumping a gate.

This is a clear exploit and not working as intended.

If CCP says its is working as intended they need to watch the video and realize they have gone off the deep end.

I challenge a dev to defend what this Freighter pilot did. It runs counter to everything that is eve and all the hype that is eve.

This is a black eye for CCP.

You really made a weak and silly point. Its a non starter.
