Just happened to me on US 128 as well to everyone, within a minute of me logging in and finding our camp completely emptied. Talked to my buddies and apparently it was raided by a hacker with a bunch of vehicles and NPC soldiers while they were on earlier. Awesome. I checked the GPS coordinates, it appears to be so far south it's outside of the borders, so why did it save my position when I immediately quit? Thought being outside the border (such as the debug wasteland) would cause you to be put back inside the map...

Boy/Boy. So how many PMs did you get asking for your A/S/L from all the teenagers? :) (See this all the time in online games, when a player says they are female all of a sudden half the people stop playing and start trying to pick up said female. Rather pathetic really.)

Rofl...

Need more threads about this.

Could have already been tents there before, there is a bug that occasionally happens on servers where after it reboots where all placed tents are missing. Or, it could have duped your tent if you tried placing it multiple times, I've had that happen before. Tried placing a tent near a tree a few times and finally got it down. After the server rebooted there were additional tents where I had tried placing it. After the next reboot the dupes were gone though.

To the carebears who think DC'ing is a valid tactic, keep it up, in many cases it may earn you a ban from the server, or even having your character reset by the Dev team. I record all of my PVP interactions, and when PVP DCs happen all I need to do is send the video to the appropriate people. I just wish there was a way to filter servers by player names so I could follow them to their new server they changed to in order to finish them off. And of course it can be annoying to get sniped, especially by those who camp the coast shooting unarmed newbs or who do nothing but sit up on a distant hill killing people without any intention of looting. Just don't assume that everyone is doing it for the lulz, in many cases where I'm on sniper duty with friends, you're going to get shot if you pose any threat to my mates, and my mates'll do the dirty work of looting your corpse. I shoot 'em, they loot 'em. It's not our fault you weren't careful and didn't recon the area before rushing in hoping for some mad loot.

Nah, don't you know the accepted tactic is to run up to them and do a 360 no-scope? :D

This. Same thing happened on my server I regularly play on, after a restart everything was back.

Buddy found a bicycle bell on a dead guy once, he grabbed it and it seemed to disappear from his inventory, but he was still able to run around ringing it. Was pretty funny actually.

Honestly, just practice as much as possible. Find a secluded town with some zombies and take potshots at them, it's probably the quickest way, although you won't find zombies more than a few hundred meters away at most, unless there are other people there. So is Justin Bieber and McDonald's. That doesn't make them good. :) You like the game and that's fine of course, I just don't understand those that fall back on the 'Millions can't be wrong' defense because they can, in fact, be wrong. Oh? I beg to differ. Appeal to Popularity Fallacy.

A buddy and I went up there at night once. Nothing unusual happened, except that he somehow got sick even though his temperature never dropped below max. Green Mountain Flu?

I hope the graphic glitches involving the barbed wire and the dead bodies fixes everything. I don't usually have the problem somehow, but my buddy it is nearly impossible for him to play anywhere near a military location because the dead military guys cause so many issues. I thought I heard others mention it could be the wrecked humvees too, but those are usually surrounded by dead soldiers too so who knows. So is proper spelling.

Glad to see another update! Here's hoping that the disconnecting immediately after death removing the player corpse is fixed soon, tired of the pussy bandits that shoot at you and try to disconnect before they die, only to have their dead body disappear when they rage quit.

Had the same thing happen to myself. Placed a bear trap, and didn't like where it dropped, so I removed it without even setting it and when I walked over where it was it still broke my legs.

1. Make it so it takes a good 30 seconds at least to 'make camp' where it can be cancelled simply by moving or firing your gun (so you're still able to defend yourself if you get attacked in the process.) Being shot at or hit should also stop the timer. 2. However, if you fire your gun or are fired at, maybe make the timer longer, like one minute? And naturally, force quitting would cause your character to stay in the world, once they figure out how to prevent the duplicate character issue. 3. Prevent you from logging back into the same server for maybe 5 minutes, maybe even longer. You're still free to join another server immediately, but this would also help prevent those who 'server-ghost' to re-position behind players. 4. It's also been suggested there should be a login timer of sorts, where you have to pack up your camp/bedroll. You'd be stuck in the 'doing-something' animation for 10-15 seconds once you load into the world. Would also help alleviate server hopping on top of other unsuspecting people.
