I'm already safe by this point, but don't get why I still die.
I don't get it. I wasn't drunk I swear.
LOL!! Ablerobler, you weren't drunk, we know. But I can assume you were watching the seconds carefully on the Zone-timer to tell when you have enough time to get back safely.
But,... the Zone timer is FAULTY. It has been faulty for us vehicle drivers too, and it SEEMS to have to do with accurately synchronizing where the redzone boundary line exists (and the timer starts counting), and the game actual moment it ACKNOWLEGES you're over the boundary line (and displays the correct amount of seconds you have left in the redzone).
We've mentioned this glitch to CCP repeatedly, expecially from us Dropship players who enjoy an exclusive "grey area zone" that's somewhat further out there from the zone ground players can cross. I've lost 7 DS's to redzone-death--sometimes the clock just kept ticking--when I had crossed safely back on the legal area 10 seconds ago!.
But to make the glitch harder to resolve, the "lag" you experienced only happens sproadically, not every time you test it.
Many players have just decided to give up waiting for the glitch to be resolved, and they are experineced enough now to keep in the back of their minds that the slight risk is always there when they cross that line.
Now this knowledge has been passed to YOU, to add to your skill. Use it wisely, my merc!
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
