A little explanation please...?

[Alias]

Alright, this doesn't happen every time. I usually play as a Condor, and I find that if I am inside a den, or on the ground, or it may be for any other random reason, when I close WEO and open up again, my health goes down low, and so does the three bars; hunger, fat and energy. I don't know why it happens, but it's rather annoying, specifically when I change worlds to get into a good hunting season.
Any explanation for this?

I would take a screen shot, but I've already recovered from the damage. I hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks again.

It's because of Heat of Battle. It's the red H thing on your profile. When it's activated (usually by predators nearby or you have recently fought/picked up/dominated someone) and you log back on, it'll do that to you.

[Alias]

Ah, I see. I used to wonder what the little H was for. But how does that work? I don't really understand why it should be there? Thanks

[Alexander]

I'm guessing the Heat of Battle is to prevent cheaters from simply logging out when trying to avoid death from a predator. Once you've been attacked or sometimes if a predator is in the same square as you, you will end up having the red H symbol and will take I'm guessing 20-30 seconds to get rid of safely before you can log out.
So, if anything, you may have to wait just a little longer before you can lot out sometimes, which hopefully I'm sure you have the patience for that. d:
I hope this helps (; and you're welcome.

Okay, I see now. Thanks again ;] You can lock it now.

Haha, very well. d:
You're welcome!
