Yo, I have the same issue. Happened after I was dead by guns.

Yep it was a private Hive Server and I got confused ^^" btw my chara died shortly after that because I was stolling around the Devils Castle dont go there , there is nothing usefull and you will probably die ^^] I dont think it was a good Idea to mix the official Hive with private ones now I have 3 chras one where Im lying on the beach dont know how long I stopped after 5 min because its a waste of time One male charckter with an axe and one fully equipped but dont remember from which private server they were. IMHO These new hive rules suck. I strongly sugest some warning similar to the "old version" warning for the Six lauchner! It should go smth like "you are entering a private hive your status will only be aviabla on this server"

Hi I didnt play since 1.7.2.4 and had a fully equipped chara at the airfield now with 1.7.2.6 I joined a map and now I have to create a new Chara wtf? Did they reset the characters at some patch or ist this some kind of shitty bug?

Yep thats my opinion too some spot to meet unknown people in a relaxed /relativly safe spot

Thats trading between well armd groups im talking about >strange< solo players meet at a spot protected by NPCs so you dont have to shoot on sight! Thats the point why it wont work and I'm not using the same server all the time [not server hopping I need daylight after work /different working times] + I dont think any clan could make a reals safe zone 24/7 with fair rules [imagine you come into the trading zone with ghilisuit and night goggles why do you think one of the "neutral" camp leaders dot tell me giv ur stuff our clan or we kill you. There has to be a real neutral entitty like an NPC to ensure that otherwise its useless because I will never trust other players with a gun pointing at me.

I dont knwo why many people dont like the idea maybe they should realize that not everyone has many friends playing this kind of games to work together with... They dont need to be any magical barrier zone just protected by NPC sentrys with good accuracy thats all. It would make the game more realistic because in any big catastrophes people worked togehter [in hiroshima some time after the incident people rebuild their market to sell stuff] So it could be on a relatively safe place where the NPC sentrys shoot at anyone attacking other survivors or sentries (in an area around the town). [They dont even have to make some new coding because Shooting NPCs ist what ARMA2 can do best ] I think it would make the game more interesting and you would have a chance to interact with unkown people in a safe manner [even more taunts wouldnt be so effective in terms off communitcation because the gun is faster than any taunt ^^] So Bandits could be a problem but its realistic too where a market is there are bandits stalking trading routes. But you could sneak around them /other friendly groups clear the path to the safe zone.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/44445-safe-area/ yeah basically same as safe zones ^_^ i think they could work very well as postet in this topic

The safe areas shouldnt forbid PVP. If u start a fight in the safe area u get shot by the sentries ^^ So basically you can kill someone but there is a very high posibility the sentrys will get you soon after that but NPCs could only operate within the safe zone. If anyone dont like them they just had to avoid them but for other people it could be awesome to share some stories they saw in the server. Like a "Survivors INN " to sleep or medical rooms where people can get a transfusion from others for some valuable loot.

This is not an option sir. The starting phase is nothing more than crawling for about 2 hours [with no weapons its has only made it last longer but not very more fun i think] then with a little bit luck you have anything you need again. Im not hoping for anything magic or a "real" endgame. But honestly i come from the Stalker world and expected some more to explore because if u saw 2 cities u saw every city. Some "zone" with massive zombies and destroyed / "corrupted" villages would be more itneresting ^_^ Im a big fan of the Idea behind the game thats why i buyed Arma2 to support the Idea . But this game definitly needs more interesting things than survival I see myself more a explorer than a survivor because surviving is reliative easy after u are out of the noob phae (I think it lasts about 5hours until you learn it).

Yeah you two said wahts the problem stashing up with tents is buggy I dont see any point in loosing every stashed object after a server restart. And as a zombiehunter you have a hard time after being heared by someone :/ So sadly it seems the only option for me now is to camp on other people to get any gameplay at all.

I think it would work with NPCs guarding it [for example US soldiers in a watchtower as snipers] so in a area 500m from this base everyone shooting another survivor would be punished by the sentrys.I also think that this woudlt be so har dto accomplish and could give others the oppurtunity to team up/gear up and trade/heal more safely.

Hi people, do any of you have a good tip what to do as solo player after Surviving phase? So I obtained some good stuff and now I dont know what to do. Im not going to teamplay because of three reasons 1. I dont know "real" people who can/want to play it . 2. For online people I dont play regulary or in any logical Timeorder [e.g. playing for 45 min then pause for 8 hours then 3 houer and so on] and 3. I dont trust anyone in this game since I have been killed for 10 times 1sec after being spotted. So it seems for soloplayers there is no endgame because everything involving cars zombiehunt etc needs some cover from other people and I dont need to loot at the moment because I have almost everything I need and the rest would be too risky. So any manhunt attempts would be silly because if anything goeas wrong you start again the *pain in the ass 1 hour crawlsession* or in other words the starting time. The only solution for this could be new underground teritories like stalker bunkers with indoor combats against zombies (although it wouldt workwith this engine I assume] So anny suggestions [besides temaing up with ppl what wouldnt work I think]
