1nsane (DayZ) 0 Posted December 8, 2012 more of a bitch than a question as I'm pretty sure it's just tough sht for me but I'm new to dayz, friend of mine suggested it and I love it, been on alot over the last couple of days and today I made loads of progress, got some nice gear, several hours play, then I disconnect for 10 minutes and when I reconnect I'm faced with the male/female choice, wtf?!? so I just wasted a couple of days just like that? damn thats enough to make me say fck this game, I bought arma2 co just to get dayz and after a couple of days this happens. gutted.

SmashT 10907 Posted December 8, 2012 Are you playing on the same server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDesigner 1197 Posted December 8, 2012 What shamsht said. Lot's of the servers now run on their own private Hives, so make sure you join the same server or groups of servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1nsane (DayZ) 0 Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) I tried a different server, then tried the same one again, neither were private hive (at least it didn't say so in their names). I was using UK servers earlier today and DE this evening. Edited December 8, 2012 by 1nsane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grit 0 Posted December 8, 2012 Not all private servers are labeled as such.. which can be rather annoying at times. If you're using dayz commander (which I highly recommend), go into your "recent servers" list and make sure that you log-in to the same server that you were on when you originally collected that gear.Also, keep in mind that you're going to lose your progress A LOT in DayZ.. especially if you're in a public hive where hackers show up every 15 minutes. Get used to the idea of starting over on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1nsane (DayZ) 0 Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Thats rough, and disappointing, but thanks Grit, appreciate it.Is there anything I can do to minimise this? like staying logged in 24/7? or only using one server? Edited December 8, 2012 by 1nsane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timmymachine109 (DayZ) 235 Posted December 8, 2012 Yeah just use servers on the same hive...usually all servers run by vilayer are on the same hive...if not just use the same server over and over :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grit 0 Posted December 8, 2012 Try a bunch of private servers until you find one with a regular population and solid admins who don't abuse their power. Then try to stick to that hive in order to keep the gear you've collected.Staying logged in 24/7 isn't feasible for a variety of reasons. But you do want to log out in safe area, otherwise someone may kill you before you've completely spawned-in the next time.As far as hackers go, if you see 4+ player death notifications pop up in your side chat all at once.. be prepared to abort at a moment's notice. Likewise, if a hacker teleports you into the sky (which is something they love to do), quickly aborting can save you from death. Obviously you'll run into more hackers on the public hive.

Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted December 8, 2012 Find a server you like, and stick to that one.That's your best bet on keeping your progress.But even so, the server host can do a roll-back on the server, reverting EVERYBODY's progress.They can also completely wipe it if they desire.
