Rollbacks plz read

Many time in games when i die, it says connection interupted. WHen i rejoin that game after recconecting to the internet, i have my body, its like i never died. But the people in the game are still playing, like i just died and dropped. What if i dropped an item in the game, then let myself die so that i got the realm down thing, then relogged. Theoreticaly, wouldnt the item still be on the ground, and since i rollback, wouldnt it also be on my body?

the only weird thing, is that although the message log says i have died, when i do rejoin this game my chracter has 1 life... But its weird because im the only one who rollsback. I think this could be a possible duping method, althoughth risky i think the most effective way to dupe would to pop urself... Because since ur connection is interupted as soon as u die, and if ur items drop on the ground at that time and u come back u will have ur body still wouldnt you? ill have to test that out and get back to you guys!

Ok, what i discovered was that when u get connection interupted, you drop and rollback to the 1/10 of a second before you die. That is why i have my body, but only 1 health when i rejoin the game. So try this with ur friends, go into a private game, and tell ur friend to keep trying to pop u until u drop from the game, come back into the game and ur items should be both on the ground outside, and on your body!

goodluck guys,

pretty good strat for a newb huh?

And there is no way you can flame me, because unlike other types of packet sending rollbacks, this does not crash the whole game. THe only risk in this duping method is the same risk with any duping method... the items will have the same id number so they might get deleted.

Also could someone verify this:
the original item would be the one that drops on the ground right?
