Combat Logging

Combat Logging (or the combat marker) is a function added in the Crystalline Update which punishes a player that logs out of the game directly after combat or during combat against another player. When this happens, the player logging out would leave the game normally. However, they would drop all of their items as if they died, also losing all their gear. When that player logs in again, they will have no items on them (only items in their bag and inventory) and a red message will appear at the top of the screen, reading: 'You combat logged against [player name]'. To know you're about to log, is by a red exclamation mark above your head, which indicates if you leave with it above your head, it will count as combat logging. Even if you're in a fight and '!' isn't visible, but you're nearby someone, and you leave without '!' you still get combat logged.



Trivia

 * Combat logging was added in to make combat between players more fair because players would leave whenever they are low on health to avoid death.
 * This mechanic is hated by many players because of hackers, which abuse the function, making players who have spawned in or are just starting to load in get combat logged.
 * Even if the combat tag has gone away you need to wait about 15 seconds before it disables, which may cause some accidents in losing items by accident.
 * Combat logging is also enabled even after you kill your target until It gets disabled.
 * Players can choose Energy Bolt as their Spell to prevent players from logging, or use arrows or a Sling if they choose to.
 * This mechanic is loved by many exploiters as it gives them a higher chance to win a fight, or to obtain loot.
 * There's a glitch where you will lose your god/void bag upon combat logging, which may result in losing precious resources.
 * When teleporting to the Void, if someone hits you or gives you the Combat Marker when you teleport, it will still work and in the Void, you will lose your gear.
 * If you use the Void Cloak and you still have the marker above your character, they can still track you down.
 * If a untamed/tamed animal attacks you, even if it is being controlled by a player, it won't activate the marker.
 * In BOOGA BOOGA CLASSIC, combat logging is not functional.
