The first one sounds like you spawned into debug forest. I've never tried respawning there but you should just reconnect if that happens. The second one (spawning unconscious) is one I've also seen fairly often in the latest build (1.5.8.4).

First post.

1.5.8.4: Loading in will either spawn me in my current character, with correct gear, stats and location -- or as a buggy bandit in a building in elektro, where everything messes up and occasionally crashes. This was happening on alternate relogs but now it's continuously spawning me into this bandit dream character. Emailing RPT.

It's hard to find a home with varying levels of stability on servers. At the moment, it tends to be around Virginia/Dallas/Ohio.

I sent my files already but I tried to respawn a couple more times. It's persistent, with varying stats/location on each spawn. Three of my friends are playing and they aren't affected. I'll just chill til it's sorted.

Lost all loot, randomly spawning with varying stats and conditions. After the update, spawned in a house in cherno with 600hp, bleeding and died. Three random locations on three relogs.

When players die, their typical response is to alert the whole server as to the position of their body. It's usually a rage-reaction because someone killed them. However, if you kill someone in real life, unless they're hooked up to some very sophisticated gear, their body shouldn't automatically call the police. So I suggest the game prevents players from communicating in game when they die up until they respawn.

Looks like VA18 will need a hardware upgrade if this keeps up, haha. Having Swi1ch passed out in the back of our make-shift ambulance was one of the funnier experiences I've had in helping the Doc. The tension mounted as we were scraping the bottom of our fuel reserves and weren't even sure that we'd make the run into Novy. At this point, a speed bump would have killed the guy. In the end we secured the location, fixed him up, and after he showed his gratitude we parted ways. It's certainly a different feeling playing the game this way.

Haha, I'm always intrigued by bandits trying to hunt us. If some or all of us get killed or injured, it should alert us to what we're doing wrong and how to adapt our tactics.

If it affects your thoughts about this at all, I know this guy and he is legit trying to be the good medic. We both also had the idea also to run some sort of protected market/safe haven for survivors, maybe together maybe not, but we're still working out the details and will have to adapt as the mod changes. We also look forward to your inevitable bandit raids. No idea where this will go or if people will be willing to trust us. http://i.imgur.com/gOhoa.gif

Perfect. :|

Joking and trolling aren't the same thing. The kid can click back a page or two and find out the answer to his question.

Rocket said something about September-October this year.

I will host so many mass spoon parties in the large tec building in elektro. Now hiring security. Will pay in cooked meat, if you know what I mean.

All I want to know is if temperature can be regained by laying prone together. I feel this will force people to play together and trust each other so that they can snuggle at night.

Yes. Needs more characters.

People are so anxious for the mod that they're turning on each other. The constructive critics lacking knowledge VS the self-appointed moderators and defenders of the realm. DayZ was just the bait – this board is the real social experiment. Eventually, rocket will stop posting and the lights will go out, and the people here will spiral further out of control, until their tears flow steady into a machine that filters them into Kool-Aid.

A queuing system would prevent people bashing enter on every server, though I figure that's an ARMA 2 problem, not DayZ.

I think this is a good time for a nap.

I like taking screenshots, ignoring the chat box and long walks in the park. Also rainbows and unicorns. Can I toggle the HUD somehow?

I was just saying on the live chat how I would like to initiate (not so) random acts of pizza/beer to the devs. Failing that, we'll probably get a server together, maybe in LA, as I don't see any LA servers yet.

It is already equally stupid not to shoot a survivor on sight. You have chosen to accept a morality system, but that survivor may not have. Once you've helped them clear the zombies rushing in, they could be low on ammo or beans, and decide they want yours. Survivors are just bandits waiting to happen. I often play as a bandit with real friends, because stranger danger is safer dead. Too many times I have healed my friends or just not killed anyone for long enough to become a survivor again. Three of us in our survivor skins had our guns trained on one guy who begged us to just let him leave town. He never left that barn. I hope he didn't feel safe because we didn't have bandit skins on. He's going to be screwed in the next patch. On the bright side, his whole bag was beans.
