Well... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[The Stoned Wolf 491]

So. I had met someone friendly in game the other day. We teamed up for a bit and got a bambi to come along with us. Unfortunately the newb shot my friend in the back about 5 minutes after we picked him up and nearly killed me. I was able to recover but my friend had needed to gear up. So anyway, after having extreme hassles trying to get him re-equipped, he finally was ready. Then it took us another day to find eachother because of constant deaths and confusions. Which led to more re-gearing problems. Long story short, it was a complete and utter pain in the ass. But, to the point; After finally finding each other, I ended up repeatedly getting kicked from what must've been 5 different servers. I tried to persist yet again after an hour and successfully spawned in! Or so it seems. I spawned on the coast with starter gear and my stats reset. Thinking it was a bug with DayZ commander and I accidentally chose a private server, I tried another. And another. And it was still the same!

This isn't a rage thread (whatever the title may imply), however I'm just confused as to how this could happen. My combat indicator was never activated and thus the game thinking I force quit with it on couldn't have happened. I definitely was never actually killed in game. I mean, something like this has happened before, but I still had the same skin, a completely empty inventory, and the same stats. But just outright restarting from scratch, as if it was an entirely new character? Just plain weird. Especially considering all that had happened was that I was kicked a few times.

Perhaps you were logged into a private hive the first time. I assume that if you were getting kicked you didn't get in on that server again.

No, I had been on this character for 2 months and was able to switch between main hive servers easily.

But another odd thing was that the first server that I went on that spawned me on the coast had something called a "Monky Monitor", which was basically just a mock debug. I remember spawning in this server before. The last time, I still had all my shit, it just teleported me half-way across the map. So maybe it's something up with that specific server?

Monky Monitor is a program hackers use to prevent other hackers to hack. It's a pain in the ass, because my friend had to restart his server cause of it.

Hmm... hackers... teleportation... respawn... I was probably killed by a hacker or something as soon as I logged on but didn't notice ( I was talking to a friend in Steam). At least, this is the only valid explanation I can possibly come up with.

I remember logging into a server with Monky's Monitor before. I immediately logged out and avoided that server like the plague, as I believe (but could be wrong) it was showing me where other players were on the map. I didn't stay around long enough to find out.

Hey I think I was you yesterday Excision...Your name seems familiar. Were you at an airfield?

My in-game name is not Excision, so no it was not me. But are you implying that you are a hacker?

[zachgibson22 14]

Lol No, I have no idea how that implied I was a hacker. Someone had a name similar to yours, that I saw, that's all.

He's referring to this little typo:
