Update: After some restarts and some time waiting ... the tent suddenly reappeared. The UAZ was kept missing. On a hunch we inspected other locations where we have stayed longer ... and at a gas station we found the UAZ, in the same state as it was when we arrived at the gas station just missing the inventory. Possibly this information is important: When we had the tent and UAZ in position we saved them just in the moment that the server restarted. Maybe that is why strange things happened?

Date/Time: 20:45 GMT+2 What happened: Server was restarted. Directly logged back in. Both tent and UAZ gone. Where you were:North east in the woods What you were doing:Just stashed some items before going for a hike. *Current installed version:1.7.1.5 *Server you were on: DE 6 *Timeline of events before/after error: We made a trip, picked up a buddy, parked our UAZ near our tent (~8 m distance), pressed save on both, stashed stuff in it. Ate beans. Wanted to go for a hike, that instant the server restarted. Logged back in. Everything gone. Afterwards: Crying about all the beans that will never be eaten! Q_Q

Our fancy UAZ (a car) just disappeared with our tent. Seems like those are not held between server restarts.

^ This. It's a fraking exploit! How can that be unclear?

I am calling bullshit on this. While you have some point' date=' you overly complicate the situation. Gambling is addictive because you can really loose stuff and really win stuff. When i go to a loot position and see something i need but have to leave my comfort zone to get it, then i can really win/loose stuff. My heart starts pumping intensely and i get the thrill. With BF3 and that other stuff nothing is worth more than 30 seconds of running, i ram that heli into the ground just for kicks because it's worth shit and wasn't build on team effort, 1 second later i have full health a loaded gun and 2 aircrafts around the corner. Nothing to win, nothing to loose. Why care? [hr'] That's what i would say. The important point is scarcity.

:P Wonderful!!! Typical DayZ hilarity.

Cool! So there are no deadly blows anymore! ... wait ... that would be absolutely awful! Please, by all means, don't suggest superficial changes to ingame mechanics just to "resolve the bandit problem". My impression is that there are only two categories of change that would a) resolve the "issue" and b) be introduced into DayZ: 1) Sensible survival-related mechanics that only by accident discourage PvP in certain occasions 2) Out-of-world mechnics, i.e. mechanics that take effect when you are not in-game That being said ... Why again can't i give myself a transfusion?

Had to cut some stuff out:

You are probably on a "dead" server. 0 zombie spawn, 0 item spawn.

Behold! Hear the mighty fanboy speak. The ever shining example of what makes this community so wonderful. But but but besides the insults hes absolutly right. :huh: Can't say that is entirely true. It's always give & take. DayZ would be nothing without the broad fanbase and the fanbase would be playing something else without DayZ and Rocket. But indeed it is an alpha and yes, DB-wipes are exactly what you should expect. And you can totally expect that after a wipe players will be cautious and wanting to get back to what is perceived as being normal.

This. What i noticed is: There are 'visibility-spikes'. Sometimes for no apparent reason visibility goes up to max. This holds for some areas in buildings as well when starting to climb a ladder. Kinda awkward when on the other hand i can prone with zero visibility on the parking lot of the supermarket of Zeleno.

Really? WTF! Click the link already. You are asking people questions and don't even move a finger.

Scientists are sure: Doing direct communication voice helps in 50%. In the other 50% of cases people laugh even harder when looting you.

+1 THE WAY TO DO IT! ... And start with a ~30 seconds delay after death.

Ok i'll restate: 1. I wanted to say that i never read that Rocket defended himself by saying it is an alpha. The guy i replied to states that Rocket did, which i believe is not the case. Of course, it has been stated often and by everyone that this in fact is an alpha. Yes, it is. 2. A stupid defense mechanism is in this case, when you repeat a fact like "zomfg it's an alpha" to defend another fact that is not defendable by it, e.g. "There are so many configurations around that you never know what version you are running on, if it's a bug or an intended feature." . Other cases are: "It's more realistic" to defend lovecraftian darkness on a moonlit night. .... saying that i would love if tentacles came from the sky and grabbed survivors from the earth ... it would be more hardcore and horror-like ... if it was ever done some people would defend it as being more realistic :P

Me thinks you should take a break and read again. :)
