To reproduce, aggro any enemy and take shelter. The server will kill your character for you even if the enemy cannot reach you at the time of logout. (For example, if you are on top of a tower)

Before the addition of wolves and more infected, this was not a major problem as the static spawns allowed you to avoid this situation WAY more easily. This is a VERY frustrating "feature" for any player, really.

Also, great job on the wolves. I love the way they look and their AI behavior seems to be pretty spot on. I just wish they would disengage after a while of not being able to hit the player.

This feels like a punishment of some kind just for playing the game. Sure, "Log out to avoid undesirable circumstances" but honestly I was fine in the tower. I wouldn't care if I logged back in and the wolves were still at the base of the tower, ready to eat me as long as it was my choice to try to fight my way past the pack. Let me die of my own stupidity and don't make it a determination of the server.
